Clinique's 3-step face cleanser.  It's the only facewash set I've tried that doesn't make me break out. :3

China Glaze and OPI nail polish (I LOVE nail polish!), Wet n'Wild eyeliners, Maybellene's powder foundation and concealer, M.A.C. eyeshadow and pigments... Too many to name.  I love cosmetics. :P

They have an amazing hand cream too. Amazing. I think it's called Silk Hands if they are still making it.

Here's my day to day list:

Cleansing Routine: Neutrogena Pore Refining facial cleanser, Oil of Olay Complete for sensitive skin. Once a week I use home made sugar scrub of white cane sugar, macadamia nut oil and a bit of honey, scrub my face with it, let it sit for a couple minutes, rinse with warm water, pat dry and that's it...no moisturizer needed and no greasy feel.

Makeup:

Foundation: Loreal Infallible..liquid for most days, pressed powder for quick make up days...this stuff is magic! I have never had any sweat melting problems or coverage problems...I couldn't live without it! Around $10 - $12

cheeks: Tarte Cheek stains in Dollface or True Love (it's close to the True Blood stain but sans sparkle) $30.00 per but watch for Tarte friends and family sales...up to like 30% off ^_^

Concealer: Urban Decay 24/7 in DEA...it's not perfect coverage but it really does help. $18.00

Setting Powder: L'Oreal Mineral Loose Powder in Transparent, $9.00

Eyes:

Shadow: Urban Decay, Naked 2 $50.00 (it's really worth it!) and Preen (it's a retired peacock themed palette so on eBay it's like $35.00) and Tarte for True Blood (at Sephora for $36.00....I paid the full $50.00 for mine =() I only use an eye shadow primer if it's going to be a long day, basically work then going out or when it's hot out so I only really buy the cheap sample sizes of the Urban decay eye shadow potion or just dab a bit of foundation on your eye lids right before you apply.

Mascara: L'Oreal Double Extended...this stuff is amazing if you love big chunky lashes. $9.00 I also use a Covergirl clear mascara for grooming my eyebrows, $4.00

Lips: Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Jilted $19.00, Revlon Super Lustrous in 683 Demure and 631 Luminous Pink, $6.50 each

That's about it! want to talk about hair next??

The product I use:

Eyes
ALMAY intense i-color eyeshadow (have a few color kits), eyeliner and one coat triple effect mascara
(I don't do my eyes every day, some days I only do mascara)

Face makeup
Usually don't wear anything because my face is sensitive, combination and a difficult tone to match but I do have
ALMAY Smart Shade makeup and Truly Lasting color pressed powder
that I use occasionally (usually just on my nose and under my eyes to even out color/take away shine).

Lips
ChapStick cherry or original

Skin care
Jergens All-Purpose face cream (as a makeup remover and also sometimes use before bed as a more intense moisturizer)
Suave Advanced Skin Therapy lotion (use every day)
Neutrogena oil-free acne wash (use occasionally if I have a break out or for exfoliating)
ULTA hand cream
I also have some sort of cheap scent free sunscreen (for if I'm going to be outside and it's sunny)

Nails
OPI Nail Envy (always on or as a base coat under color)
most of my favorite colors are also OPI. I have lots of polishes though.

Perfume
Dolce & Gabbana The One (only use occasionally)
Deodorant- I have a hard time finding one I like consistently and switch somewhat frequently. Any recommendations?

I won't get into hair since no one else has  :P

Soap & Glory. I'm absolutely addicted to the stuff and I have pretty much the whole range.
Not no keen on the perfume and the lip gloss, but that's about it. The products are great and they smell sooo good :)

Make up wise I use a mix of Benefit, Urban Decay and Too Faced

I'm a pretty big fan of Color Club, Nubar, and Zoya too =)

Someone else mentioned China Glaze and I adore them as well. Honestly though I'm a bit of a polish addict so I generally like it all.

The only brand that I'm totally stuck with is Cover Girl for my mascara  :)  I like the lash blast in the purple tube.

And OPI for nail polish  :)

Oh, gosh I love cosmetics! And all the awesome brands I use are not tested on animals. :)

e.l.f. - I love all their cosmetics. Their stuff is so good and dirt cheap! They have the BEST liquid eyeliner and tinted lip balm.

Urban Decay - Love their primer potion, nail polish, and want their naked and naked2 pallets very badly.

fyrinnae - Love their Pixie Epoxy and I haven't tried the eyeshadow I got from them yet, but it looks awesome.

Revlon - Love their liquid makeup.

& there is a specific discontinued mascara from Maybeline that I love. It looks very natural and doesn't clump at all. They do test on animals, but since it's a discontinued product that I've never bought directly from them I don't feel guilty about it.

I use my Tarte blushes almost every day! I like makeup and I've got plenty, but blush is usually the only thing I wear.

I do not use a lot of products after doing a bunch of reading on the chemicals that are in health and beauty products. It's quite scary so if you are oblivious you might want to stay that way! LOL If not you can always check out: http://www.safecosmetics.org/article.php?id=682


Anyway... I really use the bare minimum for health and beauty but what I do use I make sure it's good quality and good for me.


Eye shadow - Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques


Lip balm - Bubble & Bee (awesome Karma Apple flavor)


Soap / skin care - I rotate between just using plain ol' baking soda as an exfoliant or using some soap on a natural bristle skin brush to gently scrub my face. Soaps I normally use are from either Bubble & Bee (oatmeal spice is awesome) or Zum / Indigo Wild


For face moisturizer I use Bubble & Bee's face cream and I also use their body butter for heels in the winter but I find I really don't need body lotion like I used to now that I'm using natural stuff to wash with as my skin doesn't get dry like it did before.


Hair care - I'm probably gonna lose you here if you are even still reading. I have not used shampoo for like 3 years! LOL I do the "no 'poo" way which is one bottle of diluted apple cider vinegar and one bottle of baking soda and water. My hair feels so much better than it did before when I used to switch shampoo all the time to find one that would work better. Plus you can't get any cheaper than baking soda and apple cider vinegar right? I guess it helps offset the cost of the other natural products I have to buy!


I also use Bubble & Bee's natural cream deodorant.


Perfume - I don't have any so what I have done is taken a little bit of body butter in a small container and added a drop of essential oil to make a scented cream.




For my skincare needs I use all natural products - If I don't KNOW what the ingredients are I don't buy the products. Mostly I use soaps/face cream from a place called - Rose of Sharon Acres. She does AMAZING organic goats-milk products.


I just checked out the Rose of Sharon Acres website and I think I'll be placing an order! Thanks for posting about it as I am always in the market for other healthy products to try out.

I'm a huge fan of Smashbox primers and Laura Gellar powders.  I can't wear liquid foundation, but the combo of those two still make my skin look great :)

I use Origins products for lotion, face wash, foundations and sun/skin care. Expensive but plant based.
