i've become a mac worshiper. i love their stuff.
as for skin care, a while back i was having massive issues with my skin (break outs, oily, dry -- good fun) it was like I was going through puberty at 25. I found a really good site,
www.acne.org. They have a great program for your skin.
I also like Aveda's products too.
KDDani- I am ITA with you on your Chanel products. They're awesome.
