Sephora waterproof mascara is wonderful!
Anyone else use Bare Minerals makeup or Philosophy skincare? I just got the monster 32 oz. Purity through QVC for for around $36! I've just started to use Hope in a Jar and Eye Believe and really like both.

I too have been looking for a new mascara. My old favorite was discontinued and I really don't like what was brought in to replace it! WHY do companies go and do that - they have a great thing (and there are LOTS of people out there that think so) and then go and change it.
I'm also looking for a good foundation. I have tried MANY and most don't seem to stay - even those that are supposed to (i.e., Mary Kay's Medium Coverage). They either disappear or rub off. ARGH!!! I was told yesterday by the Clinique person that was doing the return (after she looked down her nose at me asking why I didn't not take it back to the counter in the town it was purchased) that it didn't stay because I wasn't using their skincare, that you should be using the foundation from the line of skincare you are using. I definitely did not go into the 'I've done that and it still doesn't make a foundation stay' discussion (or that I DO use a moisturizer and plenty of it, etc). Anywho!
Some of my must-haves:
Mary Kay lip gloss in Beach Bronze and Cocoa Creme
Lancome Resolution eye (definitely takes care of the circles, puffies, and lines!)
Lancome and Mary Kay brushes
Lancome Vinefit lip (though discontinued)
Aveda Phlomolient (sp?) - a wonderful light-weight styling foam
Mary Kay Microdermabrasion
American Beauty lipstick in Napa Berry
That's about it for my must-haves! I have been both a Lancome Counter Manager and a Mary Kay Consultant which will explain the trend - oh, and I live in a small town so I am basically limited to Lancome, Estee Lauder (iritates my skin), clinique (causes me to break-out), Elizabeth Arden, Kohl's lines, and various home party companies (Mary Kay, Avon, BeautiControl, etc)

Ok...So I just HAD to bump this thread! I have pretty oily skin that breaks out, plus I have red cheeks, so finding makeup that doesnt A) make my face look like someone struck oil, and B) actually covers up my skin without it looking dry and flakey is pretty hard to find! I've been using Neutrogena Healthy Skin powder for about a month now, and I must say, I absolutely LOVE this powder! It was like 10$, but honestly, I'd still buy it if it were 20 or 30 just because it really covers! Normally when I put my makeup on within a few hours it's already looking oily and yucky-but tonight, I put my makeup on around 4, and 7 hours later my skin is STILL looking pretty great! Not really oily, the red is showing through a little bit, but it's sooooo much better than how it was!
So a few questions for yall Any recs. for a good foundation that will cover my redness but won't make me look like an oil slick?:P Also, has anyone tried the new Almay Skincare line? I really wanna try it, but it's a little expensive for a d/s brand, so I wanna know that it actually COULD work for me before I shell out the $$$$ for it, lol.

I have just discovered Arbonne skin care products. The woman I bought them from said I should sell for them because I've been pushing the product on all of my friends. LOL. No thanks, I'll keep my day job-- but the stuff is great!!!

Rimmel's new Recovery foundation is really nice. I bought it because it was supposed to take the look of fatigue out of your skin, and by george, it does. Rimmel's Stay Matte power is also really nice, and give it gives great coverage. Rimmel is kinda weird though, because your shade you buy looks wrong until you put it on.

A few months into my Bare Minerals experiment and I'm hooked. It doesn't feel like foundation and it covers my redness pretty darned well. I think I'm a convert.

Oh my gosh I LOVE Bare Minerals! On my way back from Spring Break vacation, I went to the Bare Escentuals store in the airport in Atlanta. I'd never tried Bare Minerals before, but I got the starter kit (only $75 for a ton of stuff!) and some other stuff. I'm seriously addicted to the stuff.

So fun!! I love:
St. Ives Apricot scrub, and also their new Apricot Cream Cleanser
Smashbox Foundation Primer in Clear and Bronze
anything by Benefit
Nars Orgasm Blush
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara
Palmers Cocoa Butter chapstick ( so cheap, yummy, and it works!)
Olay Quench Body Lotion
Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Lotion in Vanilla/Jasmine
Stila Convertible Eye Liner/Shadow
Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride
Tarte lip glosses and eye shadows are great too!!
Face Spa Pore Shrinking Mask with Astringent-this really works!! It does everything it says it will, and after I used it the first time, I ran right back to Eckerd's and bought everyone they had left. I LOVE it!!
So, I do need a new foundation though-I have not been loving the last 2 ones I tried-I need oil control in a big, bad way! Any suggestions?

I love Philosophy stuff - i buy so much of it through sephora.com! The Purity face wash is so gentle, yet it really does clean your face really well. Since using the Hope in a Jar moisturizer, my face glows. I just got the Microdelivery Peel from them too, and it is awesome. It just wipes all of the dead skin cells and build up right off your face. Color me impressed with the Philosophy line!
