Don't they use it at pageants?<br /><br /><b>Samantha Simple</b>: Glad you received the polishes! Have fun with them!<br /><br /><b>Maeko</b>: WOW! Thank you for such great tips! I will be trying out some of your suggestions. I'm very open to new products and hopeful that I can always find something better than what I'm currently using. Thanks for taking the time out to let me know what has worked for you!<br /><br /><b>Randi Troxell</b>: You should! I never leave home without it!<br /><br /><b>skeleta</b>: I have a large container of Cetaphil sitting in my shower. I love how gentle it is. Unfortunately, I can't use benzoyl peroxide. It gives me red itchy bumps. I usually stick to salicylic acid.<br /><br />I will check out Laura Mercier. Man, I need to start making a list of items I need to get!<br /><br /><b>grace</b>: I did take the pictures. Awesome! I love the 90s!

I am very acne prone since I hit my twenties. <br /><br />It sucks for sure, but yeah, I can't live without my cetaphil moisturizer/cleanser and my shea butter and benzoyl peroxide to get rid of my skin blemishes.<br /><br />Shea butter is recently new for me, only been using it for the past 3-4 months. It works so well! and it takes away inflammation so there's no red spots on the skin.<br />I can't live without this stuff now haha. <br /><br />I might just try that lip gloss. I woke up with cracked lips, it's so fustrating! and I even put vaseline on them before bed. zzz.<br /><br />The only brand name make up I'm committed to is laura mercier! I would check the line out, the mascara's are probably the best I've ever bought. And they're good for contact lense wearers (like me). :)<br /><br />I should do a beauty post soon. <br />I love your blog!Leah at Aesthetic Modehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601148014905122704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972425801429586743.post-57660048302765634352010-04-16T13:06:09.287-05:002010-04-16T13:06:09.287-05:00awesome post!awesome post!Is This Real Life?https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057862575316602089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972425801429586743.post-45581338218275067572010-04-16T10:36:57.145-05:002010-04-16T10:36:57.145-05:00i'll so be trying the dew kiss.. it sounds and...i'll so be trying the dew kiss.. it sounds and looks awesome!Randi Troxellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174812914334600987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972425801429586743.post-17865219721625108902010-04-16T09:00:28.114-05:002010-04-16T09:00:28.114-05:00(This is going to be long.)
Let me tell you a fe...(This is going to be long.) <br /><br />Let me tell you a few things that have done wonders for my own really oily combination skin!<br /><br />I have a terribly oily t-zone. Like you, my make up always migrated or became shiny to the point of slick and stuff after a couple of hours, but after I discovered these two product that I use together, my make up hasn't gotten super oily, my foundation and concealer stay in place, and I hardly ever have to blot as much. This makes me so chuffed, because as a green activist, it's hard for me to reconcile that trees are cut to make blotting papers, or that so much carbon is emitted and water wasted to make the plastic blotting sheets.<br /><br />I'm a freak.<br /><br />Anyway, I found that The Body Shop's Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion (link: http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/tea-tree/prod170266) works wonders for combatting blemishes while also miraculously completely taming shine and oil. I don't know how it works. I know it tingles a LOT when you first put it on. I think the tea tree oil gets into the pores which calms the skin, then it's got mattifying elements in the lotion that kick down shine. And I'll tell you, it works all day.<br /><br />I layer it under my normal Neutrogena SPF 70 Ultrasheer sunblock moisturizer (it's straight up sunblock, but it works as well as a normal facial moisturizer for the day). Then I layer a light eye moisturizer (L'Oreal Revitalift Eye)--I find it works as an eye primer.<br /><br />Once the spf moisturizer dries, I put on Smashbox Photo Finish primer in the green formula (dries clear), which is the one that calms redness. I'm assuming the apricot coloured one with SPF 15 works just as well... But I swear by the green one (link: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P9889). I've used tons of different primers including the clear Smashbox Photo Finish product, and none of them have ever lived up to the Green one! My eye make up hardly ever creases, my concealer stays put, my nose barely slicks up and my make up is still intact at the end of the day.<br /><br />I know it sounds like an ordeal, but honestly, once I open the tea tree tube, from start to finish, the application of all these products takes like 5 minutes. If I put the tea tree stuff and then the moisturizer on before I brush my teeth, it's like a breeze.<br /><br />Last breakthrough product: <br />Maybelline EyeStudeio Gel eyeliner. It's smudge, water, oil proof and lasts for more than 15 hours, I can tell you. It lasted through a 6 hour wedding and the 9 hours of Las Vegas debauchery that followed. When I got to the hotel that night, my make up looked as fresh as when I had walked out the door. LINK: (http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2213592&productId=xlsImpprod1790211&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80042) I bought mine at Target, though. I've only used it for the last 3 weeks, but it's above and beyond a better eyeliner than any other ones I've ever used, including that Almay one (it's easier to apply) and even Stila's "budge proof" smudge pot cream liner.<br /><br />Sorry to run on and on, but since I discovered these products over the last month, I swear, they're changing my life... okay, maybe not, but they make a huge difference on my face. And they help me save trees. Win win.<br /><br />XXs<br /><a href="http://www.maeko.org" rel="nofollow">Maeko. thereafterish.</a>Maeko @ thereafterish.http://www.maeko.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972425801429586743.post-30346792377943529582010-04-16T08:23:08.530-05:002010-04-16T08:23:08.530-05:00I LOVE the nail polish especially the blue.
