Me too! Let me know if you find anything good. We seem to have similar tastes in makeup

I'm working my way through the Algenist eye cream sample right now. I'm not ready to commit.

I didn't even think about looking through my samples for eye creams. I have so. many. samples.

Addicted.

Benefit They're Real mascara. I love love love this stuff and I used to not wear mascara.

Also, neutrogena (sp?) Make up remover wipes. I love that I can use them on my eyes and it doesn't bother me.

I do love this mascara, but can't use it for every day.  I feel like it's really hard to get off at the end of night.  Even with strong eye make-up remover.  Any tips?

Have you tried using coconut oil?

Honestly I use Walmart brand eye make up remover. It works really well and only costs $3. I'd rather spend money on the make up

No! I've only used Pond's cold cream and L'oreal eye make-up remover.  Both were only okay.  Do you use the coconut oil like you use cold cream?

I have neutrogena eye makeup remover that works great with a cotton ball or even a tissue. It's in a clear blue bottle. It has even taken off waterproof stuff pretty easily.

Philosophy Clear Days Ahead with my clarisonic.

Philosophy's Take a deep breath moisturizer.

Currently in the market for a new eye cream. I love philosophy's miracle worker but I want to try others before shelling out another $60.

Tarte Full Coverage Foundation with a beauty blender.

I don't necessarily care where my eye shadow comes from. I have an urban decay palette.

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes and Too Faced 3 Way.

Vaseline.

I JUST tried Philosophy for the first time. I bought their Hope foundation. It's fantastic! I now want to buy all the Philosophy things.

The Walmart brand (equate) is the "compared to neutrogena oil free make up remover" right next to that, $3 cheaper lol

I just took that picture so that's 7 hours of wear later. It was better when I started lol

One to add- body glide.

This is maybe more of a hack than a traditional "beauty product" but it's amazing.

Tight/uncomfortable bra? Fancy dress that chafes? Tights uncomfortable? Skinny jeans a little too tight on the thighs after too many donuts? (Don't judge on the last one, it's a real problem!)

Seriously though- I sometimes have issues with fabrics or jewelry because my skin is so uber sensitive. Slap a little body glide on the targeted area and I'm good to go.

[mlgnumbers]

DevaCurl No Poo and One Condition + Ultra Defining Gel = Gorgeous Curls that get commented on all. the. time. NOTHING else has ever worked for my crazy curls, and I've tried it all. I can never go back.

bare Minerals Redness Remedy - Natural red undertones in my skin are exaggerated by all manner of environmental conditions, this brings the redness back under control.

BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline - Classic, simple scent, my go-to

Yeah, pretty much. The coconut oil melts right away so I just massage it in and then wipe it off with a cotton ball.

[icequeen]

I am very low maintenance. But then again, I am a stay at home mom, so I don't need to impress anyone The products I must have and most regularly use are:

L'oreal Pro-matte pressed powder
CARGO Big Bronzer
Maybelline Great Lash mascara
Nivea Kiss of Shimmer Lip Therapy
All Aveeno hair products for my very light blonde color treated hair

[stephiestark]

Oil of Olay moisturizer with SPF and Chapstick. I only wear makeup for special occasions.

[pinkcat]

I love everything by Benefit, but especially Porefessional and their new mattifying stick. I also really like the new Bare Minerals Pop of Passion lip oil-balm. It goes on like a balm but works like a stain and the color lasts all day without being dry. Their Marvelous Moxie gloss is great, too!

[mainewifey]

I use almond oil in the same way that most people use coconut oil. I use it on my face, hair, dry skin, etc. I like it because it's in liquid form and more convenient to me in that way. Almond oil lacks the anti microbial and anti bacterial properties that Coconut oil has though.

[crinita]

For my face I use Clinique liquid soap and Pond's moisturizing cream. Makeup is minimal, usually Revlon's Nearly Naked powder and Blistex for my lips.

Like icequeen, I use Aveeno for my hair.

Love this thread, I am always curious/nosy about other ladies' beauty routines!

[MrsRC88]

I'm jealous of those who can get away with minimal makeup! My complexion is horrible- I need something on my face before going out!

I currently use CeraVe foaming cleanser, Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel, smashbox primer, Clinque acne solution foundation, Revlon color stay concealer, Maybeline Fit Me Matte & poreless powder, (in translucent- it reminds me of bare minerals mineral veil at a fraction of the price!) and Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow (currently using the first palette).

I don't have a lipstick/lipgloss, eyeliner or mascara that I love. I use Urban Decay eyeliner, but it doesn't stay put. I usually use various drug store brand mascaras.

[onesweetworld]

This thread is killing me. I am 100 feet from Sephora and I just want to go playyyyyyyyyyyyyy

1. vegetable glycerin soap.  I use it to wash my hair, face and body.  I have very sensitive skin on my face and this is the only thing that doesn't irritate it.
2. hair pins.  I use embellished bobby pins to keep my bangs in place, control tufts, etc.
3. liquid eye liner.  It's how I do my cat eyes!
4. liquid cover up.  I have terrible skin that I need to cover with make up!

[lilsneezy]

I forgot to mention Proactiv. My skin is horrible without it!

[michelleca]

I am just starting to get into make up, but I'm really loving Too Faced - Boudoir collection for my eyes, and tarte mascara and the clay blush.

[kateisoptimistic]

Love this thread!

A clarisonic

Nars bronzer

Naked palettes

A good brush set, makes all the difference!
