What's your favorite skincare/Sephora products???
 

Hey all- I am bored. When I am bored I shop. I had a great dream last night about having a shopping spree at Sephora and woke up totally happy until I realized I was dreaming!!!

Anyway, I want something new. I just started taking really good care of my skin now that I am twenty-five, washing and toning diligently, sun screen, moisturizing, etc., but want a new product. I don't care what :p Just something new.

What do you all love? What can't you live without? Thanks!!!

When I was your age (EEEEeeekkkk!! Can't believe I typed those words ... I'm ONLY 29 :D) I really wanted to start taking care of my skin as well, and saw a dermatologist for the first time.

She put me on a skin care regimen that consisted of a glycolic acid facial cream in the morning and a retin-A combo at night. It has worked wonderfuly - both products actually stimulate skin cell turnover and cause the outer layers to slough off - almost like a mini peel every day. I do have to deal with some occasional flaking, but these products have definitely kept the fine lines at bay.

As far as non-prescription stuff goes, I love Neutrogena's tinted daily 30 SPF moisturizer - it gives your skin a subtle glow and protects against sun damage - I can go without foundation when I wear this.

Stuff from Sephora ...hmmm ... not sure if you have oily skin or are into Bare Escentuals, but the mineral veil is nonestly a miracle product- it's a finishing powder that goes on almost invisibly, gives you an "airbrushed" look, and keeps my oilies at bay all day - which is a miracle because I have super oily skin and with any other powders I get breakthrough shine within an hour of application.

If you're really bored and want to browse product reviews, definitely check out Makeupalley - Street Smart Beauty - Homepage ... i always look stuff up there before I buy - it's a great resource.

I LOVE Sephora! One day i left home w/o doing my make up so i went to Sephora and did it there, they have so much to choose from! I use Laura Mercier make up products but i looove a lot of their products, i dont have favorites, i always try everything when i go lol

Hey thanks!! I am twenty-five- totally freaked out when I hit that birthday and went on this facial care thing.

I have tried the Neutrogena sunscreen before and didn't like the texture. I am a total texture freak, and if something makes me oily or feels wierd on my skin I can't do it! I have been using Clarins sunscreen daily, and while I don't hate it, I think I am going to try something different next time. But yes I LOVE the mineral veil, as well as the mineral make-up. Super good stuff. Oh and I LOVE Makeupalley.com, totally a good resource!!

It's like a freakin' candy store!!!!!!! I haven't yet tried the Laura Mercier products, but have heard good things about them. I have been using Ole Henrickson line and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I always feel wierd about trying the makeup there but maybe I need to get over it and just do it!!!!!!!!

Not Sephora - but I love Wei East - they only sell it online on their site, at Nordstrom's and on HSN - hsn has great prices especially when Wei is on - if you always wonder how Chinese women look so young and keep their skin so beautiful - Wei shares her generational solutions. Here is a link to her items on hsn Wei East Beauty products and beauty supplies at HSN.com

Her China Herbal skin line is great for someone looking for a good starting place and especially someone in their 20s wanting to keep their skin in great shape

HSN - also carries Sephora - I'd compare prices or when they will be on special there again. They do have a mascara I want to try and would love to hear comments on - Dior DiorShow Black Mascara at HSN.com

I wish I could afford to shop at Sephora :(

i use Neostrata, Rodan and Fields, & Jan Marini! ;) my mom is an esthetician.. so she gets me on the good stuff! ;) i dont do much.. but my skin is pretty 'normal'.. not too oily/not too dry. i wash my face every night though! ;) and i moisturize every morning & most nights! ;) every person is different & it really depends on your skin and what you need.. creams/moisturizers are always good! ;) & a good facial cleanser! i also can't live without this stuff that i use to 'spot treat'. i only get a zit here and there(sometimes if im stressed or pms or somethin like that:rolleyes:).. so when i do i use this stuff and it dries it right out(and goes away!!) MY FAVE! :thumbup: i also have a zeno.. thats pretty cool too-works well for 'spot treating' ;)!

Sephora is like a toy store for grown up girls. I don't even wear very much makeup and I'm still in heaven in Sephora. I don't get my skincare there but if I had to list my number one can't live without product I get at Sephora it would be DiorShow mascara. Second would be my Nars blush followed closely by Nars eyeshadow. Of course you don't HAVE to buy these things at Sephora but it is too fun to pass up a chance to play.:D

The DiorShow mascara is what I wondered about - so it's really worth $24?? Can you tell that much difference between it and other mascaras?

Don't get me start it on Sephora:eek::p:thumbup::thumbup:

[QUOTE=MissPinkBarbie;2184052][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Magenta"] Sephora rocks! I spend so much each time I go there, hubby despises that place now! :rolleyes::D

The skin care products I only use are from Caudalie (French company) and Juice Beauty. Both companies make only 100% natural beauty products (ingredients derived from nature)

I swear by them!:thumbup::thumbup:

Ohhh, I have been meaning to try the Caudalie. The last time I was there I almost picked up the cleansing oil.

My hubby just rolls his eyes when I say I "need" something from there!! :p

How much fun would that be?????? I would love it if my mom was an esthetician!

Total toy store!! I always get that "feeling" when I go in there- the "I don't know what to look at first" feeling!!! Love it!!!!!!!

I LOVE the DiorShow mascara, in fact, I could probably use some more... :p
