mizzwanned · 12-09-2008, 05:54 AM

If you have a beauty product you love and find works well please share. Here are mine:
I love my Laura Mercier skin illuminating cream. When i dont want to wear foundation i just put this on and it gives me a glow.
Cocoa butter body lotion makes my skin soft and i heard it fades scars and stretch marks, idk if thats true but i use it anyway.
I also love my Ahava Dermud face cleanser and moisturizer, it has spf 15 and i have sensitive skin and it works so well!
Finally i love my Aussie Sydney Smooth heat protector and leave-in conditioner for when i use styling tools like my curling iron. It protects my hair from the heat and smells great!

Now please share your favs. Also i will post more later on as i remember them.

Liposuction!

mkawczak · 12-09-2008, 06:27 AM

I too am a cocoa butter lover. The only thing I have ever used on my face to clean it is Noxema. For my hair I love Redkin Anti snap leave in treatment. For a face moisturizer I use Walmart brand moisturizer. I have never had a acne problem in my entire life ,and I'll be 40 in a few weeks.

If I could only have one thing it would be my GHD flat iron. It is definitely my most valued beauty item. I used to use a Chi and my GHD has saved my hair and works so much better. My other hair favorites are Pureology Nanoworks shampoo/conditioner, Tigi S-Factor flat iron spray and Esuchen RD protein cream.

Makeup favorites: Cargo Blu-Ray powder and blush and DiorShow mascara. I'm also a huge fan of Smashbox O-Gloss.

Squalene oil comes from the liver of a shark. Humans produce squalene in their livers too, as do some plants, animals, etc. However, the squalene oil used in cosmetics is processed from the shark.

true....squalEne comes from sharks however squalAne comes from olive oil

... it is NOT an animal product

this comes from a great site: http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/f/What...d_Squalane.pdf

ETA: when i buy squalane i make sure the site EXPLICITLY says it comes from olives

That's so interesting!

What do you like most about squalane? I was kind of wondering if it could be squalene and I'm glad I was wrong. I was reading somewhere a few months ago that they might have given squalene to the vets during the Gulf War and it may have caused serious problems!

hviola · 12-09-2008, 05:35 PM

My number one product is the Bath and Body works aromatherapy body wash/bubble bath. It smells wonderful and the bubbles from it are like satin. Ahhhh..

Now I want a bubble bath.

Apricot scrub is a staple for me.

Yorkie Gems · 12-09-2008, 05:49 PM

Hmm let me see, I have very sensitive skin, but you're not going to believe this but my favourite facial cleanser is Proactive facial cleanser and repairing lotion never had acne, but I do have very fair skin and the really pink cheeks and this takes away the redness. Everything else that I have tried either dries out my skin or makes it really greasy. My all time favourite eye shadow is M.A.C, for face powder the Guerlain meteorites, lipstick would be clinique, body lotion, would be aveeno.

And since I have my own perfume business, my favourite scent is molinards Violette.

that is scary about the vets in the gulf war

... i had not heard that

when i first heard about squalene/squalane, i had the same reaction - NO THANKS

.. but then when i read squalane was the vegan form of squalene and the benefits, i was interested

i like squalane because it is a GREAT moisturizer...i have dry combo skin that turns to extremely dry in the winter...but i also have very sensitive skin and i have tried many products that make me break out in blemishes, rashes and even welts!

but with squalane i have never had anything bad happen...it mimics the natural sebum (oil) in our skin so it is nonirritating and will likely not cause breakouts, reactions or anything like that..for this reason it is great for oily skin that needs moisture ( squalane oil skin care )

squalane is also considered a carrier oil so when used in conjunction with skincare products with "actives" it helps the good ingredients penetrate deeper and gives you moisturization at the same time...for this reason, i mix squalane with my retin-a

i am a bit of a skincare junkie so if you have any more questions, please fire away!
