Shampoo/Conditioner
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner
I have used this stuff for so many years... I'm really picky about my shampoo and this is the only store brand that I've found to leave my hair silky smooth, lathers up really well, and smells yummy!
mark. Lemon Sugar 3-in-1 Cleanser
I decided to try this product out about a year ago when I began selling mark and fell in LOVE with it! It smells heavenly and the best part - it can be used as a body wash, shampoo, or bubble bath! You can purchase it (along with body butter and body mist) at my eBoutique.
Hair Spray
Aussie Aussome Volume
I never, ever used hair spray from an aerosol can until I discovered this spray. My hair doesn't easily stay put, but this one does a fabulous job of keeping it in place. I never use anything else!
Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
I promise this is the absolute best eye makeup remover you can buy. I wear a lot of eye makeup and lashes, so I've tested out A LOT of different removers and I haven't found anything that compares to this. And you don't need a lot - just a little bit on a cotton ball goes a long way. Target also sells a generic version of this remover, and it works just as well. I usually opt for that one since it's a little cheaper.
mark Help Wanted Cleanser
There are two face wash products that I regularly use. The first is mark's Help Wanted anti-acne exfoliating cleanser. I use this one daily and keep it in my shower. It has the little scrubbing beads and leaves my skin super soft. I've been using it for a few months now and have noticed that it really helps with breakouts.
St. Ive's Apricot Scrub
I use this scrub when I feel like I need a real deep-down cleanse. This is the ultimate exfoliator!
Mario Badescu Protein Night Cream
I will admit, I commit a horrible beauty sin every day... I never wear moisturizer. I don't like the way it feels under my makeup. BUT, I do use this night cream from Mario Badescu, which I first heard about on Kandee Johnson's blog. You can buy it at Ulta for around $15. I'll warn you, this stuff is heavy, so if you don't like that feeling, you may want to skip this one. It contains antioxidant vitamin A and a high concentration of emollients and collagen.
Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Cream
The only other cream I've used is from Sephora and I really, really LOVE it, but it's just too expensive for my budget (around $80 a pop!).
Monistat Chafing Powder-Gel
Unless you've heard of this trick before, you probably think I'm crazy. Last summer I was on the hunt for a good makeup primer. I wanted Urban Decay's Primer Potion, but I just didn't want to pay the price for it. So I started Googling for something cheaper and came across several posts about this Monistat gel. It's less than 4 bucks at Walmart or Target, so I gave it a shot. And I've been using it ever since! It's a really soft gel consistency that makes my face feel super soft without feeling oily like a lot of primers or moisturizers do. It just makes my foundation set a little better.
mark Min-A-Real Cream-to-Powder
For years I used only Mary Kay foundation and loose powder. It was the only thing that gave me the coverage I needed without also giving me breakouts or smelling funny. I don't like any of my makeup products to have any kind of scent. I've found that when they do, they also break me out 99.9% of the time. I went out on a limb and tried this foundation last year and I couldn't be happier with it! The coverage is GREAT, I love that it's not in a liquid form, and it goes on so smooth. It's $18 at my eBoutique, but it's worth every penny. My favorite thing about it is that I don't need powder with it!
Mascara
Cover Girl Super Thick Lash
My pick for mascara is a tie. For years I've used Cover Girl Super Thick Lash. I usually wear fake lashes, but on the seldom occasions that I don't, this mascara gives me the volume I want in my lashes.
Elf Volume Plumping Mascara
Then a few weeks ago I decided to try this Elf mascara, and I think it gives the Cover Girl brand a run for its' money. I've used a lot of the elf products and really haven't been disappointed yet. They can be found at Target and are super cheap!
mark No Place to Run in Jet Set
I love the formula of this eyeliner... To me, the consistency is kind of like a cross between a pencil and liquid. It's not super dry like a lot of liners, and glides on much like a marker. It stays on all day and always looks fresh! You can get it for just $9 at my mark eBoutique.
Lip Gloss
Mac Florabundance
I'm a sucker for a good lip gloss and a nude lip. I always keep this lip glass in my purse. It's really pretty alone or on top of just about any other lipstick.
Revlon
I'm not a huge lipstick fan, but I do really like any of Revlon's matte shades. Like I mentioned earlier, I hate scented lipsticks and I've discovered that Revlon's are completely fragrance free!
Eye Shadow
For the most part, I wear 3-4 shades of shadow at one time.
First, an all-over lid color from mark called Whisper (matte ivory)...
Another shade from mark called Tabac (matte dark brown) for the crease...
A third mark shade called Sugar Sugar as a highlighter under my brows...
And Shimmering Onyx (black) from Covergirl for shading over my eyeliner. I rarely stray from these unless I'm wanting more color.
Lashes
Ardell #117
I love really big, bold Kim Kardashian-like lashes! I usually get the thickest, longest ones Sally has. Ardell #117 are perfect!
