Exquisit,
Where can a sistah purchase Hidden Beauty? I have never heard of that before?
Here is my regime:
Since I WILL NOT step outside my door without make-up, I have tried a few different lines and here is what I like:
I currently use Lancome make-up, although I noticed on their website that they are discontinuing their darker shades (
BOOOO LOOOSEEEEEERRRR!!!), so I pray that they will introduce some new ones because so far this is my favorite.
Clinique has the best mascara, if you want fuller, thicker, longer lashes. Its called Dramatic.
MAC's lip gloss is the best one that I have found so far. I have tried Mary Kay's, Lancome, Estee Lauder, etc. and they just don't stay on. You have to reapply the color in 15 minutes. With Mac, once its on their, it doesn't fade away for a long time.
For me, my skincare routine is as follows. I too have combination skin with the occasional pimple.
A.M. - Wash my face with soap (Oil of Olay is my favorite soap for the body, face, etc.) then I use Neutrogena's Pore Refining Toner and Moisturizer.
P.M. - Wash face again with soap and the Oil of Olay daily facial cloths. use toner again and instead of moisturizer, I use Retin-A Micro (a perscription cream for acne and to even out my skin tone).
Since I have been using Retin-A micro, my skin looks 10 times brighter than before and more smooth.
