Well, I always have to recommend MAC for the sheer fact that it's high
quality for a low price (by comparison to other lines). They have a
gel cleanser and oil control lotion that are great. One of the other
great things about MAC is their environmental and social awareness;
they encourage recycling by giving a free lipstick for every 6
containers you bring back in. They also donate 100% of the money from
all Viva Glam products to the MAC Aids Foundation which goes directly
to patient care (meals, medicine, education for African kids
etc...average donations add up to $1 million per month) and they're
100% cruelty free. Some companies say cruelty free but they buy
ingredients from companies that test on animals. MAC ONLY buys
products from other cruelty free companies. Very cool.

I also think Clarins and Origins make some great skincare. For
breakouts, nothing beats that Pro-active stuff! You can get it online
or by calling them..sometimes they have Kiosks at the mall.

For natural, I prefer Avalon Organics mainly because it's one of the
only paraben free lines. Good prices too...get it at your local health
food store.:)
