Cleansers -Unlisted Brand - Natural Born Cosmetics Ultra Gentle Cleansing Lotion
HES 11/10/2012 11:25:00 PM
This cleanser is an ultra mild gentle cleanser that claims to "dissolves through makeup, daily grime, and other impurities instantly on skin without disturbing its protective barrier. It rinses easily and completely with warm water." Well, it lived up to it's advertising!! It's gentle enough to use morning and evening. It left my skin feeling ultra soft, fresh, and comfortable after cleansing. Contains no sulfates, petroleum, or mineral oil derivatives, or ingredients that can cause skin irritation or that "tight" feeling after cleansing. The great thing about this formula is that hyper-sensitive, clinically dry, and mature skins can use this product without the drying or stripping effect often felt afterwards with other kinds of cleansers. It is the mildest and most gentle cleanser I've found.

HES 11/10/2012 11:18:00 PM
Love this brow powder! It comes in 12 shades and is all you need to contour, color, add volume, or fill in sparse spots for a natural looking brow line. It's easy to custom mix colors for the right match, and the matte textured powder gives a natural looking blend and finish to your application.

Loose Powders -Unlisted Brand - Natural Born Cosmetics Oil Control Loose Setting Powder
HES 11/10/2012 11:15:00 PM
This is a triple milled matte powder specially formulated to lift out and disperse oil, and "blot" the face without that heavy or cakey looking build-up. Oil control powder contains kaolin clay which is excellent for all skin tones, and it will not oxidize (change) the foundation color. It's great to use alone over any skin priming product for a fast matting down of skin texture without using a base product. Loaded on a professional size powder puff, it can be used as a blot powder to freshen any makeup application during a long day's wear. You can apply Oil Control Loose Setting Powder lightly with a powder brush for a light and airy finish on any foundation or concealing cream application.

Primer/ Corrector -Unlisted Brand - Natural Born Cosmetics Liquid Powder Shine Eliminator
HES 11/10/2012 11:11:00 PM
This has become one of my MUST-HAVE products!! It is a water-based formula that dries instantly and eliminates shine on contact. It doesn't disintegrate under makeup helps your makeup last longer. It also greatly reduces the need for powder maintenance, and can even be used as a spot "blotting" product on top of makeup. It is so versatile it can be used under makeup as a primer, or worn alone as a quick and fast drying skin mattifying agent, especially for oily skins.

Love the light vanilla scent of this brush cleaner. PLUS it doesn't contain alcohol!! Great for natural and bristle brushes, but not recommended for synthetic or nylon brushes. Non-sudsy.

Crème -Keromask - Camouflage cream foundation
HES 11/10/2012 10:58:00 PM
First off, I only say that I would NOT buy this product again because I don't feel that I really need it. This is a para-medical concealer product that is intended for people who have scars, rosacea, vitiligo and other conditions that cause noticeable to severe skin discoloration. It is VERY highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. For many people, one layer of Keromask followed by setting powder is sufficient, but if you still have discoloration showing through, you can apply another layer. (Keromask followed by light dusting of setting powder followed by Keromask followed by another light dusting of setting powder. You can usually do this up to three layers without it looking cakey AS LONG AS you brush the setting powder on lightly and not pat it on with a puff.) It is 100% WATERPROOF when set with setting powder! They have recently expanded their color chart so there's a color for just about everyone. If they don't have the perfect shade for you, you can purchase the shade that's closest and then purchase one of the adjuster shades - brown, yellow or white.

Eye Makeup Remover -Olay - Eye Make Up Remover Caring EveryDay Cleansing
HES 11/10/2012 10:37:00 PM
The only eye-makeup remover I'll use! It's a non-oily lotion that easily removes even waterproof mascara without losing lashes. It's rinses clean without leaving any greasy residue. It's non-irritating - even if you get it in your eyes, which I do frequently!

This has been my fall-back scent since high-school some 20+ years ago! I've always thought of it as a very "innocent" scent, but men seem to love it!! I previously worked in a mostly-male work environment and I can't count the number of male co-workers who tole me how much they liked it.

Fragrances -Givenchy - Very Irresistible
HES 11/10/2012 10:23:00 PM
I - and my husband - love this fragrance! I've been stopped so many times by complete strangers to ask what fragrance I'm wearing because they like it. It's a fairly light scent. I'm not very good at figuring out if a scent if "floral" or "musky" or "nutty" or anything like that, but it smells good! LOL. I'm a very casual, recently-turned-40, working mom who prefers a natural look. This scent fits in perfectly with my style.

Gels/Soaps -Bath and Body Works - Paris Amour Shower Gel
HES 11/10/2012 10:17:00 PM
I love the scent of this B&BW shower gel! It's sweet but not too sweet, a little bit floral-y and ends up fairly subtle so that it doesn't interfere with perfume.

I love most B&BW products, but these antibacterial hand soaps are extremely drying. They smell great and look pretty sitting on the sinks, but I just can't buy them anymore or recommend them unless you also want to purchase the hand lotions because the WILL dry out your skin.

Moisturizers -Cerave - Moisturizing Lotion
HES 11/10/2012 1:11:00 AM
OMG!!! I love this cleanser and moisturizer!!! I was having some dry, flaky skin issues on my face for quite some time. I went to the dermatologist expecting to be told that I would need some costly treatment or prescription. I was a little ambivalent when the dr. recommended Cerave Cleanser and Moisturizer. I thought there was no way that an OTC product was going to help since I had already tried so many. I used the samples that the dr had given me and I was more-than-pleasantly surprised. Within a week, my skin was completely transformed! I have since started using it on my entire body. My previously red, dry and flaky elbows are now smooth and my previously beyond-dry legs are silky smooth! I've also bought it for my teenage son who has had both eczema and sebhorreic dermititis. I won't go so far as to claim that it got rid of these conditions, but it definitely helped to moisturize his skin and made a very noticeable improvement.
