Hey Ladies....

I am a products lover. Do any of you recommend a particular skincare, anti-aging, or beauty product? It can be a drugstore, department store, or specialty store product.

Here are my recommendations:

MAC Pro Longlash Mascara

Body Essence White Tea Shower Gel (available at Wal-Mart)

Graham Webb ThermaClay Treatment (deep conditioning for hair)

Kiwi Blow Serum (for hair)

Nivea Nighttime Lotion

Curel Age Defying Lotion (great for winter)

Lander Firming Lotion (Best 97 cents I have ever spent. Much lighter than Curel--good for summer.  Available at Wal-Mart.)

MAC Paint--great cream eyeshadow to use a base or alone. One tube lasts a very long time.

MAC eye pencils---great shades--no tugging 

Benefit concealer--pot lasts forever--hides all dark circles and spots

LORAC Sheer Wash Stain

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream

Please share---as I am always loking for great products to try.

Thanks!

I like using Oil of Olay facial clothes at night to remove makeup.  I also use the face wash in the mornings.

Clinique has a great night treatment gel called acne solutions.  I don’t have acne, but I put some on the occasional blemish and it works wonders.

Aloette cosmetics are pretty good too.  My mom uses some of their anti aging products.  Their makeup and cleansing solutions are made with aloe and my mom loves the way it makes her skin feel.  I have used it before but I don’t like switching products and I’m spoiled by Clinique haha!

I do use the Aloette powder eyeliner.  I don’t know why but I can never seem to use the pencil lines.  I really like the powder.  They also make a bronzer.  After all the makeup is on, you just fluff a little on your face and it accents your natural colors and makeup.

My hair has long layers and sometimes I like to flip it out and Multiplicity makes a really good swax (spray wax) and it’s not sticky and lasts all day.

And then finally....my favorite hair product:  Redkens vinyl glam shining spray!  It smells sooooo good!  I use it every other day after I dry my hair.  It makes your hair feel so soft and shiny :)

If I think of more, I’ll post but those are some of my faves :)

This is a good thread.  I’m going to have to go shopping soon! hahaha!

If its one thing I will never complain about...its this. You Ladies certainly do know how to drive us men crazy...Thats a good thing!

Kiwi Blow Serum adds shine and does keep frizz under control. I love it!

Lander lotion is a body lotion. 

hey ladies,

I was wondering if you guys knew of a product that puts your pores under control..

and thanks for all of the beauty product tips..   

Are you looking for something to control the shine?  A lot of companies make a shine control product.  I use one from a company that went out of biz (Skinmarket, in case even of you used to belong to the Underground), but I also have one from Clinique and Avon. The Clinique one is pretty good, but I prefer Avon's.

Found a new product!!! 

Vaseline Intensive Care lotion makes a Nightly Body Renewal lotion.  It was on sale at the grocery store so I figured why not?  It has grape seed extract and lavender.  You apply it nightly before bed and it makes your skin feel really soft.  I like it! 

They also made a lotion with aloe which is good for the skin.  I didn't buy it also because I was in the grocery store and the mission was food.  I get out of control in the beauty section at times ;)

I like using lotion at night, especially during the summer because I am out in the sun a lot and want to keep my skin moisturized so that I do not look like a leather purse one day.

Speaking of the sun, Clinque makes an All Day Workout Wear foundation that I also use.  It has SPF 15 in it.  Stays on all day and works great :)  Like I said, I enjoy being outdoors in the sunshine, so it protects me from the rays somewhat.  I know, I know, I use sun block when I’m out for too long ;)

Have you tried Lancome Mars lipstick?  Very natural in color; it's all I wear.  And I love Absolue Night; great for mature skin so probably not right for you yet. 

Freemans Blackberry Mud Mask

Bed Head Small Talk Hair Goop?  Instead of mousse

Lancome Hypnotique Mascara - defines and lengthens better than anything else I've tried before

My new fragrances for life:

Summer-Ultimate Clean

Winter-Fracas by Robert Piguet

Like LMM I have a lot of crappy mistakes under my bathroom countertops that need to be thrown out.  Like eyeshadow...I love all the really neat colors out there but can only wear beiges, taupes and browns.  Everything else looks clownish and I've become better at not impulse buying and making mistakes.

I miss the days of being able to just go places without makeup.  I still don't wear a whole lot but wish I didn't have to wear any at all.

I have usually gone with Revlon or Cover Girl for make-up, but as far as skin care products I go with a Mail Order catelog called Yves Rocher from France, I love it, my favorite from them Pure Calmille, day cream, Toner,& purifing Exfoliant. It's really great stuff.They have a scent called Ming Shu that I love. They're prices are reasonable until you get into they're Cellular Cure stuff which for 28 capsules is $84.00.That's there most expensive though. I usually spend about $30.00 an order, which is once every couple months. Sometimes pending on the amount of the order like $30 or more has free shipping. They always have promotions for lots of free stuff like 8-piece welcome kits.I loved the one I got it had alot of stuff in it.  They have sample orders, like 15-piece sampler is $1.95.  It's all 100% natural, no testing on animals, they claim to have "zero-waste" factories. I've used them for a couple of years now and I have no complaints, I don't like all their Fragrances, just a few, but I'm really picky when it comes to that.They have Skin Care,Body Care, Hair Care, Make-Up, & Fragrances.

They do have a web site www.yvesrocherusa.com 

well hope this helped check it out they have fast service, especiall when ordered online. Tell'em I sentcha:)))Enjoy!!

Strangely, I was just going to ask if anyone has tried L'Oreal's Microbrasion Kit. I just saw a TV show that said it is one of the best products on the market right now. One of its benefits is that it shrinks pores. Anyone try this yet?

I'll have to check out the site you suggested. I love little samples!! Thanks for the recommendation!
