    Default Good low-$$ beauty products for newbies

    The best drugstore brands (anyone feel free to add their recommendations): Makeup- Maybelline, L'oreal, Almay and Physician's Formula for cover-up sticks.
    Shaving- Skintimate Brand Gel, and Schick Silk Effects razors with the wire guards over the double blades so you don't slice your pretty legs up.
    Lotion and Body Spray- St. Ives and Parfums de Coeur.
    Soap: Dove, etc., always buy the moisturizing soap!
    My favorite dancer saying is that you should be in the business to make money, not spend it, so there you go...

    I never tried the glitter but pleeease don't spend any money on the other Wet n' Wild makeup products ! From my exp. it's cheapie, ineffective, becomes useless very quickly (dries out/ clumps/ etc.)...even their nail polish doesn't work right. Maybe some products are o.k. but whenever I've used them I've been dissapointed. Might as well spend a few extra bucks for MUCH longer shelf life/effectiveness. I'm no expert, only wear makeup at work, but I don't trust this line. I use mostly Covergirl, works well & it's relatively inexpensive.

    oops, posted too soon--
    madmaxine, I loooovve Parfums de Coeur, that's the only thing i'll use, smells so good (better than $$$$ brands like Body Shop imo). A huge bottle costs like $7, i like using body spray at work 'cuz perfume is overwhelming. & generic Cocoa Butter, all drugstores have it, 32 oz. for $3! My favorite mascara is Almay One Coat. Still searching for the perfect facewash, I feel like I've tried hundreds of brands! Skin's too sensitive- makes my face feel too dry/tight and peely and i hate putting lotion on my face, any suggestions?

    I use the revlon colorstay always on nailcolors, they are usually on sale for good pirces and thay give you shiny chip proof color for about a week and a half. which is more than you can say for most polish. Also for the girl that has everything, try this cuz im sure noone has, Sally Hansen airbrush legs, buy it and try it, you will love it and its cheap. gives you that extra leg confidence while actually providing some helpful vitamins and it doesnt rub off on peoples clothes.

    aphrodite- there are cream cleansers and moisturizing gels you can use. Body Shop has products for dry skin. Drugstore brands for sensitive skin are Clearasil, Cetaphil, Burt's Bees, and Pond's cold cream. I LOVE Pears glycerin soap from England, but it's hard to find in the States.

    o.k. how could i forget this, favorite beauty product ever, Lip Venom by DuWop. Its lip gloss but it has cinnamon oil (??) or some ingredient that stings your lips & pulls all the blood to the surface, makes your lips swell up- it's like instant collagen! :kiss: Around $15-18 a tube (teeny-tiny 3.5 ml) but soooo worth it. They sell it at Nordstrom's and M.A.C, to get it online order from Sephora.com cuz you can get free shipping. Seriously try it, be warned though, I used it once & i'm hooked for life *sorry this isn't on topic but I just had to share

    aphrodite, I have also gone through several face washes and the one that has worked the best so far is Cetaphil. It won't dry your face and doesn't have perfume in it, and it has made my face soft and glowing. My man even complemented my complexion the other day! hope that helps

    I've been wanting to try this! Does it really look natural? And do you re-apply every day, or is it like regular self-tanner that stays on for a few days?
    I'm looking for anything I can to not look like a ghost under the lights!

    As far as make-up goes, I really like Max Factor Panstik for foundation. You can dab it on with your fingers for more coverage or blot it on with a sponge for more sheer coverage. And it's very long-lasting. Highly recommended.
