    Default Your Favourite Beauty Products

    Every time I go into Sephora or a drug store or department store or whatever to go shopping for makeup and other products I get so overwhelmed by all the choices! There is just so much out there, it's hard to know what's good and what's not. I swear I buy a new kind of lipgloss every week. I know that everyone has their own products (hair, makeup, skin etc.) that they swear by....so, what are yours? Any recommendations for something that you really love?

    Personally, I adore the Benefit Dr. Feelgood face refiner/mattefier. It makes my face look and feel great, and it smells so yummy. It's good for days when I don't feel like wearing makeup...and also as a primer before makeup.

    Right now, I'm particularily looking for a good all-over face highlighter...


    there's beauty in the breakdown

    Cold-pressed essential oils!

    The only skincare products i use are apricot kernal oil to clean off makeup, and Cetaphil to finish the job.
    Then a bit of Rosehip or wheatgerm oil as a moisturiser.

    Once you get over the idea of using oils on your face, you'll never go back!
    My skin has never been so smooth and clear. I used to get lots of spots and had oily skin, but now it's just right.

    Not sure useful this will be for you, but...

    I swear by the Body Shop range of products "For Men". Also their mud masks.

    Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask and Oatmeal Honey Face Scrub - this line is dirt cheap and awesome. I use the scrub in the shower and the mask once a week.

    DHC Olive Essentials set - I use this every nite on my face and it's helped my skin a lot. Oil is great for your face, who knew!

    Benefit You Rebel tinted moisturizer with SPF - I use this everyday instead of regular foundation. It feels great on my skin, and if I have some shine I use some MAC Studio Fix or blotting paper

    Maybelline Sky High Curves mascara - cheap and a really natural looking lengthening mascara

    Lush bath bombs - I love their stuff. There's a store in Georgetown so I'm not at the mercy of their awful shipping department

    TIGI Bed Head Afterparty - a smoothing creme for your hair, GREAT stuff

    Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer - I looooove Kiehls. This stuff is lightweight and really works

    Philospophy Kiss Me gloss in red tint - awesome stuff, feels good, lasts long and has a little tint to darken your lips

    Ironjocelyn: Not fair! I LOVE LUSH, but I'm broke as a joke right now and can't bring myself to dish out $4+ per bath.

    My reccs:

    *Anything by Dr. Hauschka is worth every penny!

    *Clinique Cityblock

    *Stila Lip Pencils

    *Chanel Glossimers

    *Demeter fragrances (inexpensive enough to buy a million)

    *Shu Umera Eyelash Curler

    *Benetint

    *L'oreal Featherlash Mascara

    *Clarins Bronzing products

    *Sally Hansen french manicure kit

    *Marvis Jasmine Mint toothpaste

    Some low-priced beauty treats:
    Dove Beauty Bar- well-regarded on this site. Less than one dollar per bar.
    Pears Glycerin Soap- from Britain. Herbal smell like thyme and rosemary. One has to hunt it down in the US, but worth the labor.
    St. Ives- very creamy rich texture for a drugstore moisturizer.
    Pure Cocoa Butter stick- 2 or 3 bucks, and smells like chocolate. Might be too greasy for some.
    Bath and Body Works Products- often sold in two for one or three for X amount of dollars sales- worth every penny! High quality.
    The Body Shop- More pricey, but fine products and respectable business philosophy.
    Pumice stone for feet- dancers forget the wear and tear that comes from those dang shoes...a pumice rubbing on your feet can make you feel like a new person.

    Bare Minerals - Foundation, it's a lightweight powder
    Bare Minerals - Mineral Veil - for excess oil
    Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - for really dry skin
    Bio Oil - good for healing scars after surgery
    Liquid Silica - 2 tbs/day for great skin and hair
    Beverly Hills Whitening Toothpaste - the only one thats worked for me.
