Beauty Favs

Since it's winter (and apparently my skin thinks I'm 90 yrs old), I have had to adjust my makeup and skin care routine.  Since my last post about my favs....I think everything I use is different.

 

I have seriously sensitive skin.

No. Joke.

I have had eczema since I was born and it's way worse when it's cold.

Also, my sensitivity to things has gotten much worse the last couple years.

I had been having this problem have getting eczema under my eyes and on

my eye lids and I had been switching products trying to figure out what it was...

 

I didn't think it could be the stuff I so blindly used thinking it was

actually pure... "purity" by philosophy...

 

BUT IT WAS...

GASP

 

So note to all people with sensitive skin, this may not work for you. Also found out their body

wash has been causing the eczema on my legs.

Fantastic.

 

So, here's my current beauty favs!!

 

Find (some) of the original picture links here. Others, I couldn't find
so if you do let me know

1. Garnier sleek and shine strong hold (#4) hairspray.  Really, the hold is light.  So don't buy it like I did thinking it's gonna nicely hold it all day.  I love it because it smells good, gives a light hold, doesn't make your hair look like concrete, and makes my hair shiny unlike other hairsprays I've tried. 

2. Tresemme dry shampoo for oily/straight hair.  Again, I don't use this for what it says on the bottle.  I bought it for that purpose and didn't like it.  Now what I use it for is volume.  I replaced my old volumizer with this.  People complain that it changes your hair color, which is true until you rub it in (uhhh, read the directions?).  It holds a tease like nobodies business and that's why I love it.

3. Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude. BEST. LIPSTICK. EVER.  I put it with my 2 dollar pink Wet and Wild lipstick and any gloss I have and it's perfect.  Search no more for the most versatile nude...You found it right here!  I'm not a huge MAC user, but I know alot of people compare it to a very popular MAC color.

4. Aveeno Ultra-Calming cleanser.  Another one of those products that now that I've found it, I can't live without it.  It literally gets ALL of my makeup off.  Eye makeup, waterproof mascara, everything...my face has never been clearer and it's not dry or red. Anyone with sensitive skin or dry skin should try this.

5. A very light weight foundation that immediately makes your face look brighter.  What I love about it is that its buildable, covers my blemishes, and doesn't make you sparkle in the sun (hello edward cullen??).  I switched to this from revlon colorstay and it's no where near as thick and it doesn't last as long.  But it works for me and it doesn't make my face look like a vanilla cake. Thank god.

6. Lancome Juicy Tubes...All of them.  I'm not sure what colors I've been using. One very light pink and another that is more red.  Both are great. Aren't sticky. Last. Don't rub off. Don't gunk up. Great, classic product.
