So the past couple years I have posted my favorite products using a preset list. I decided not to complete the whole list this year and instead name the products that I cannot replace!
Avalon Organics Vitamin C Refreshing Cleansing Gel. I have posted about this facewash over and over. I have been using it for over two years and usually I purchase it from Target. I this it is the best facewash I've ever used - it smells like orange juice and doesn't leave my skin tight or dry. It gently removes my makeup and doesn't burn my eyes.
Smashbox Concealer. I'm really surprised by how much I like this. It was an impulse buy at Sephora and I've already had to repurchase this product twice. I love the brightening effect when I use it under the eyes. I have used it on blemishes and it works well to counteract redness too.
CoverGirl Lash Blast Fushion in Black. This is great mascara - I think I just bought my 6th tube. I cheated on this mascara once in the past year and I promptly went back to it. It thickens my lashes and holds curl well. The brush perfectly seperates lashes - no clumping, and no weird spidery lashes.
Makeup For Ever Mat Velvet. I just purchased my second bottle in Ivory. This oil free formula doesn't clog my pores and it covers all my redness and imperfections. When I use this I feel like my skin is as perfect as it can get. Also I can dial up the coverage by using a brush or get a more natural finish with a sponge or my fingers.
Kenra Platinum Silkening Drops. This is a great product for shine and frizz control. I use 3-4 pumps after I blow dry and before I use a curling iron or flat iron to help smooth out my hair. I am on my third bottle and I usually buy it from Ulta. Over the past 2-3 years I've noticed a lot of my hair stylists using this product and I understand why it is a favorite of the professionals.
Ole Henrickson Truth Serum Collagen Booster. I'm not quite into anti-aging skin care yet but I use the 3 little miracles set from Ole Henrickson. I'm on my third bottle of this product which I only use in the mornings after I wash my skin before I moisturize it. This is a "try it" product. I can't even explain how much better my skin looks when I use it, more even, moisturized, and bright. I haven't had a single dry skin day this winter because of this product. I've been using this product consistently for a year but I have used it before after getting a sample at Sephora. It is my best "little miracle".
My typical attire consists of some type of blouse, Express Editor slacks and my Landau lab coat - chic. Actually I'd like to draw some attention to my new highlights and bangs (which I haven't had in many years). My hair before was down to the bra strap so this was a huge change for me. And it was well received!!!! I was given compliments from friends, co workers, family, whistling construct
ion workers - all the usual reliable sources. Maybe I'll hang out at this length for a while.
ct Flat Iron Spray, this product is great to use on each individual piece before it's straightened, it's so light it doesn't weigh down the volume and the smell is fantastic. So far I like all my new hair goodies!
