show us your life : beauty products!





{a} Prescriptives Comfort Cleanser: A mild cleanser for all skin types. I've been very pleased with my Px skin care products! However, I heard a nasty little rumor the other day that Px is going out of business... Is this true?!?! I hope not!!!
*Ok, when I orginally posted this I was using Px, but since I have switched to Origins for all my face care needs. I've been happy with the transition, and best of all, Origins is MUCH cheaper!

{b} Origins Spot Remover: This tiny little bottle is $11, but it is SO worth it! I can't say enough about this stuff - it works wonders! I don't break out often, but every now and then I'll get a stubborn little 'stress' spot on my chin or cheek. Apply this serum with a q-tip at night and whenever I think about it, and I swear to you it's almost totally clear within 12-24 hours!

{c} Prescriptives All You Need Moisturizer: Again, I love my Px... I especially like this moisturizer because it's very light, so you don't feel greasy after putting it on, but it does the trick. It also has SPF 15, which is nice to have on every day to protect your skin.
*Once again - I'm now using Origins Matte Scientist moisturizer. I actually liked the Px one better, but oh well...

{d} MAC Satin Finish Foundation: I actually just recently switched from MAC's Studio Fix foundation to this mineralized Satin Finish and I just love it! It's lightweight and gives me more of a 'glow' as oppossed to looking cakey. Perfect for day-to-day wear. It's also lasting me longer since it goes on thinner.

{e} Revlon Color Stay Under-eye Concealer: I've been using this for years now because between my allergies, working nights, and a toddler I tend to get bags under my eyes. I just dab this on between my foundation and powder and Ta-Dah! ...No bags :) I actually get a shade or two lighter than my skin tone, so when I set it with my powder it perfectly balances out.

{f} Physician's Formula Mineralized Face Powder: Love this stuff because, again, it's lightweight and fairly translucent so instead of piling up on top of my foundation, it literally just "sets" it. It also has a more satin finish, as oppossed to matte.

{g} MAC Mineralized Skin Finish: Maybe my most favorite product yet... I use this just to 'highlight' my face. The end result: a perfectly healthy glow!

{h} i.d. Bare Minerals Blush: Geeze, I've had this same container of blush for years now! It's just lastet that long (I don't use a whole lot) and it works for me. I also love the Physician's Formula mineralized pressed blush. I got a free sample with one of my powders, and it's much less messy than my loose Bare Minerals, so I've actually been using that more lately.

{i} Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara: I'm a firm believer that drug store brand mascara is the best. I'm pretty sure I've tried just about every brand out there, but I always come back to these $7 tubes. They just work for me. I'm especially loving this little yellow tube lately...

{j} Physician's Formula Waterproof Eyeliner: Another product I've had for forever... Bare minimum, I've always had to use eyeliner at least on the 'shelf' of my bottom eyelid. I have this pencil in 'charcoal' and it has been great for every day use, as well as for more formal occassions when I want to line my entire eye. I like the waterproof version because something about the shape of my eyes tends to make normal liner run after a few hours. This pencil seems to hold up pretty well!

As far as eyeshadows - I jump around. I have a few by MAC, a lot from Walgreen's, and I also love me some Bobbi Brown.

{k} Prenatal Vitamins: I never stopped taking them after I had Knox. They just do wonders for my hair, skin, and nails!
