My turn to do a skin care post! First, I have sensitive skin. Rosy cheeks that cannot be touched by scrubs -- which is why I've stayed away from the product everyone is raving about.
I'd like to say I'm not married to any of these products (I'll often substitute Caudalie Foaming Facial Wash for the Kiehl's one), but I do love my eye cream and day moisturizer. And the Midnight Recovery is a new favourite.
Here are my current products:
Kiehl's Foaming Face Wash
Simple and doesn't irritate my skin. That said, I should probably use toner more often (see below) to remove any excess make-up...
Caudalie Toner
Do any of you use toner? I can't seem to get into the habit....I use it a few times a week but that's about it.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Serum
I used a sample of this a couple of years ago and I loved it, but I didn't go back to buy it. Finally, last Fall, we bought some (yay to unisex beauty products!) and it's amazing. In fact, now that I've run out of my night moisturizer, I might just use this on its own.

Night moisturizer (just finished mine -- any recs?)
I got the Ole Henriksen one for 100 points from Sephora -- a kick-ass deal -- and it was fine, but I wasn't blown away. You know how you read reviews and people are like, "OMG THIS PRODUCT IS LIFE-CHANGING AND I WOULD TRADE MY FIRST-BORN FOR A 5-YEAR SUPPLY OF THIS"?
I don't feel the need to write one for this.

Kiehl's Assibyne Eye Cream
Now that I'm in my 30s, I have to worry about lines. A few of my long-time friends have commented that my eyes look great (so far, so good!) I owe it all to using this eye cream for the past 8 or so years.
Not Pictured: Caudalie Beauty Elixir
I forgot it at my parents' and I'm a bit upset that I won't be able to use it for a few days....
Received it as a Christmas gift and I was happily surprised with the way it brightens and smooths my complexion. I even found the scent soothing!
When it's closer to my trip, I will do another post about my obsession with travel-sized items ;-)

I might have to try the midnight cream and eye cream! Thanks for sharing! xo
Thank you for this. I was just emailing Lisa Robinson (Nash) for a recommendation on a foaming face wash. Read an article that it is the gentlest and unless you have really oily skin, you should only wash your face before bed. Interesting. Thanks again!
