Trader Joe’s also has this awesome moisturizer called Utterly Smooth—it’s made to be used on cow udders when they’re chapped from milking. It’s very smooth to put on and dries fast and not greasy. Very hydrating and super cheap. I think it’s $2.99 for a tub. But I go through a tub in less than a month!. From Colleen

My absolute “can’t do without” product is Neutrogena’s Advanced Solutions Facial Peel.  For only $25, I can buy a product that gives me the same gorgeous skin that I would pay hundreds for in getting spa facials and glycolic peels! From Julie

Since getting pregnant and having children I’ve become a bit of a naturalist about what I put in and on my body and my family’s. I discovered Arbonne Pure Swiss Skin Care about a year ago and will never go back! Go to www.Arbonne.com to locate a representative. Prices seem pricey, but you can get significant discounts. Enjoy! from Irene

The current perfect formula: Paul Mitchell has a new line out, Modern Elixirs.  The leave in conditioner and the texturizing balm make my hair nice and piecy *without* the hard/oily/wet look.  And they smell good too.

www.eyeslipsface.com cosmetics for only *A BUCK* just got my first order and was not disappointed from Nilda

Eucerin facial lotion, SPF 30. A MUST!!! Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-comodogenic. I’ve used it for years on my mega pale, ultrasensitive skin - EVERY DAY. Result: consistently blocking UV rays since I was 20 has kept my 38-year-old skin looking 25. Seriously! From Damienne

There are 2 products that I seriously cannot do without: Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Masque and Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner. The first one has been my nightly staple since junior high and pretty much the only mask I’ve tried that actually works. It smells nice, is easy to use and since my skin is moody, I just leave it on my trouble spots overnight to wake up to soft clear skin the next morning. I even got some of the guys in my dorm in college to use it! As an arden eyeliner fan (I feel naked without it), Revlon’s Colorstay is the only one that actually stays put. I used to live in dry, sunny Southern California where the heat used to sweat my eyeliner right off. Now I live in humid New England where the moisture in the air is also not compatible with eyeliner. So far, Colorstay has lasted through both climates. Just one clean line across both eyes in the morning and I’m good to go for the rest of the day. The best part is even if I wear eyeshadow or cream, it doesn’t make the eyeliner smudge (unlike other eyeliners that claim to be waterproof). It comes off easily with baby oil too (my personal makeup remover of choice). From Suma

My favorite beauty products are:
Foundation: Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
Concealer: since Almay discontinued their Amazing Lasting Concealer, I now use Revlon Colorstay concealer as eye shadow base.  Makes ANY shadow crease free all day, even in Philadelphia’s summer heat and humidity!
Blush/bronzer:  Physician’s Formula and Jane.
Eye shadow:  Jane has a lot of shades the same as MAC!  I also love Vincent Longo’s trios, The Body Shop, Bourjois, and Too Faced’s compacts of shadow, blush & lip color.
Eyebrow gel:  Revlon has a neat little pencil with matching gel on the other end.  The pencil remains intact but the gel is perfect!
Lipstick:  Too numerous to list!  Mine run from Wet & Wild to Chanel.
Powder, loose:  Clinique.  Pressed:  Avon mark Matte-nificent.
Blotting papers:  The generic blue ones from CVS work just as well as, if not better than, the expensive ones.
Mascara, waterproof:  L’Oreal Splash Out.  Non-waterproof:  BeneFit Bad Gal Lash or Avon’s Daring Curves.
Hair products:  In summertime, I use a mixture of Rusk Wired, Citre Shine antifrizz (just a couple of drops) and Rusk Curl Silk.  My curls do not frizz. From Anne
