For my face, I use Green Beaver green tea and aloe moisturizer. Organic and no chemicals. My skin doesn't burn like everything else does.
I also use Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer, and got the Book of Shadows eye shadow kit. Absolutely love their colors and they actually stay put and look vibrant.
Shampoo and Conditioner I use the Jason line. Works wonderfully on my thin coloured hair.
As for skin lotion I sometimes use coconut oil or steal my son's moisturizer, Cj's, which is from a WAHM. Lovely scents like Warm Vanilla Cake and Blueberry Crumble. Mind you, I haven't used those lotions on days that I pole.

After reading this thread I purchased some Buxom Mascara and it is AWESOME !!!! Doesn't flake either which is important to me since I wear contacts. Love how it makes my lashes look.
I am pretty much a MAC and Aveda girl but this is my new Fav !!!! Thanks !!!!

Mabelline stiletto mascara…I even got my mother in law & sister in law hooked on it. It makes your natural eyelashes look amazing & gives great length to your lashes.
Bare minerals foundations are GREAT makes your skin look flawless but doesnt “look” like youre wearing make up, it looks natural.

NARS Orgasm blush, the best blush in the whole wide world. I also cannot live without Missha BB cream. It has the perfect amount of coverage, has SPF 50, anti-aging properties, and feels weightless unlike other foundations I've tried. I pretty much love anything MAC, I have tons of eyeshadows, lipsticks and lipglosses. And Laneige's water sleeping pack. It's a gel you put on at night, it smells so good and it's supposed to help aid in falling asleep. It provides a ton of moisture without any stickness or breakouts because it's oil free.

I love E.L.F Essential Eyelid Primer. I cannot wear any eye makeup without using it first because I have very oily eyelids. It's only $1 and I find that it works better on me than Urban Decay's Primer Potion. For $1, you guys MUST try it!! You can find it at Target.
I also love Urban Decay's Naked Palette. I could probably go through life without buying any other eyeshadows.
For lips, I use Carmex before I sleep every night & when I get ready in the morning. Then good ol' Chapstic throughout the day.
For skin, I wash every day with St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control. My skin isn't sensitive, so it doesn't get irritated from using this everyday. I spot treat zits with the Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil, and I moisturize with CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream.

I love St Ives Apricot scrub. I use it every day to exfoliate. Being older and growing up on the beach I have to stay on top of my skin care. There are 2, one is for blemishes and one is for exfoliation.
I will have to try the ELF Eyelid Primer. I usually use MAC's primers. But will give it a try.
Will try the Stiletto Mascara. Love talking beauty products !!!! Thanks !!!

Rosehip oil!! Suprised no one has mentioned it so far, it is THE BEST. I have really dry skin (although every skin type benefits from it!) and I massage 2 drops into my face right before I go to bed, and it keeps my skin really supple and nice. It is completely natural as well – so no nastty sulphates or chemicals.
If anyone's interested in more info just hit me up!
Also – love the clarisonic. The regular sized one can most definitely be used in the shower. Mine is the 'classic' – so not the 'pro' (which can be used with the body head too) and I chose that one over the Mia because I liked the cradle it sits in, and it has the timed feature. Slight self-plug here, but I did a review of it on my blog here: (http://www.where-is-my-mind.com/2012/03/clarisonic.html) when I first bought it. As it's been almost 6 months I'm doing an update post beginning of next month – so keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

Just a side-note for all the ladies with a Clarisonic; I've had the full size one for going on four years now and it's still working great, and my skin has improved a ton. I also have used the Clarisonic (sonicare) toothbrushes for the last fifteen years and they seem to last about seven to eight years before they konk out. So hopefully the Clarisonic has a similar lifespan, because even though they're a little pricey they're well worth it given the effectiveness and how long they last 🙂 Oh, and I use generic pHisoderm cleanser with mine, it's the same consistency as the expensive brands Sephora recommends and I think it works just as well.

I love my clairsonic Mia..I have a body brush attachment that I use with it as well..I love it for my arms and legs especially. So just FYI if you didn't know that the body brush will fit the Mia, it dies..I also use Either Mario Badescu face cleaner, or Derma E cleaner, so you don't have o use special soap, but nothing with anything abrasive. My other beauty product is coconut oil..I use it head to toe..I love it as a deep coditioner or just a small amount instead of silicone stuff left in after I wash my hair. I use it with a little essential oil or plain as a body lotion/oil..I also like to add it to bath water.
