What Beauty Products do you like?

**Telephus44** · 11-01-2006, 03:24 PM

I'm just wondering. I'm going to place an order at Sephora in a few days (not frugal, I know, but I usually place an order right before Christmas when they put out a good coupon code and then I put the stuff in my own stocking - DH wouldn't have the first clue what to get me) and I've been looking at getting a lot of the "classics" - Benetint, Nars Blush in Orgasm, etc.

Here's what I really like for beauty products - I have oily skin prone to acne, and really pale skin:

Covergirl Lash Exact Mascara
Lancome Juicy Tubes
Philosophy Lipstick
Philosophy "Purity Made Simple" Facial Cleanser
Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizer
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
OPI Nailpolish

I really love MAC, Stila and Benefit makeup items, yes I know not frugal but I haven't bought any in a very long time but I do have enough makeup to last years! lol

I don't care what it is as long as it's on sale

I love anything by Philsophy. Right now I have their Purity wash, "Hope in a Tube", and "When Hope Isn't Enough" as well as their cleaning pads (can't remember what they're called).

And I just noticed this thread down on the bottom of the page:

I love beauty products/makeup. I actually carry a list in my wallet of products that I want to try, so I'll have it when I'm out shopping.

I use a combination of drugstore and department store brands.

Here are my favorites:
Mary Kay Acne Treatment Gel
Cetaphil Moisturizer
Smashbox Primer
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer
Jane Blushes
Revlon Colorstay Eyeliners
Revlon SuperLustrous Lipglosses
Jergens Natural Glow
Queen Helene Mint Julep mask

I also couldn't live without my Tweezerman tweezers. For perfume, I wear anything by Estee Lauder or Chanel No. 5.

I never wear makeup, so I stick with just a few of the basics:

~ Ivory Pure Soap (I get bladder infections too easily to mess with soaps)
~ Udderly Smooth Udder Cream (fantastic!)
~ Arm and Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste
~ Hugo Boss Deep Red perfume (only wear a bit at a time, making bottle last for eternity!

)

When I wear any make up at all, it's just some cheap-o eyeliner and mascara.

Dove Nutrium bar soap or Oil of Olay bar soap
Oil of Olay moisturizer (on very rare occasions)

please don't think of this as a plug for me and my home business, but the reason I got into Avon is because i like the products. I use the Anew Retroactive cleanser/toner every day first and last thing of the day. I use Avon's Nailwear, True Color Eyeshadow quad, glimmer sticks eyeliner, smooth mineral make up, and ultra rich lipstick.

I'm not much into skin care/ make-up, but I always have cover girl foundation & powder. Usually some Maybelline mascara. My mom gave me some Jane eyeshadow that I occasionally use. I never wear lipstick, just chapstick or lip gloss. Right now I have cleanser & lotions from Bath & Body Works that my sister gave me and I really like it. I usually just use whatever's on sale.

Because of skin allergies I can really only use Clinique. A friend works at one of the stores that carries it. So when they are having employee discount days I stock up then. I do use some Mary Kay eye shadow (seems the only place I am not allergic to anything)

**Neeley** · 11-02-2006, 09:28 PM

I am not one to use anything other than good old Dove soap or Soft Soap body wash. I never wear make-up, but I do keep some around here somewhere. I am just not real sure what kind it is. I am sure it is something I got free or really cheap.

I just actually bought off sephora too a lil while ago when they had their yearly deluxe samples jackpot code and they were pretty good sized samples and alot plus the regular 3 you always get.

I like looking at makeupalley.com for reviews on stuff.

I really don't have any real mainstays since I like trying different stuff all the time. I do however like bareminerals, almay eyeliner, juicy tubes, kohls brand under eye brightner as well, the balm and bath and body works type products.

More of my picks end up being dunces though especially some expensiver ones lol which is why I try to look at reviews first but sometimes I still want to try anyway cause of advertising :p but reviews on that site always end up being right most of the time.
