Okay, since everyone else is listing more than one thing, I will too.

You know what I like even more than benetint? Benefit also has this cream blush called "cheekies" -- it comes in a little tube and is awesome. It is so easy to apply and also looks very natural.

I also love this new powder I got -- it's called Magic by Prescriptives. It has a very, very subtle sparkle to it, and when you put it on, it feels wet and is very cooling. It's the neatest thing, and it looks fresh and not too powdery.

I also love Clinique eyeshadows, and their lipstick in Bamboo Pink is an awesome color.

Yes, I love makeup!

Okay...I can't live without Mascara, Blush, and Powder.

As far as makeup goes I have to use either Avon, or Max Factor. I really can't leave the house without a Covergirl Compact though. I think everyone has one of those- I love Avon though, because they have a million different kinds of lipstick- from gloss to irridescent to matte, to barely-there...in a million different colors. Nail Polish too...

As far as skincare goes- I use the old standards of Noxema (but I use the cleansing cloths)..then a light Clinique moisturizer..

Haircare- well I really like John Frieda's sheer blonde or Biologe...a bit expensive, but hell, it's worth it, right?
lol

Always,
Jess

Hehehe, no way can I narrow it down.

Clinique Happy, I wear every day...lovelovelove that smell.
BeneFit BeneTint lip balm
Christian Dior Mascara Parfait
and Urban Decay lip gunk...I have sooo many colors. :-P

I'm an addict, I admit it!

Yeah, I got the benetint blush that xoxo mentioned and i couldnt resist the lip balm!! I cant wait to get them both!! By the way, how did you all find out about BeneFit cosmetics? I had never heard of it until you guys started talking about it.

Although the products might be good, i thought they were a little expensive. The blush was 26dollars and the lip balm was 18. I always buy from Clinique, and I guess their products cost about the same too, but when i go to the mall to buy from Clinique i never look at the price and just get what I want!

No wonder I always think I buy too much when they give me my total!

Do you prefer Urban Decay Lip Gunk or MAC LipGlass?

It really depends on if you prefer your lips to be glossy or GLOSSY if you know what I mean. Lip Gunk gives you a nice shine but LipGlass gives you the megawatt shine. Also, I have found that LipGlass lasts longer, but it feels heavier on the lips.

Personally, I think you should buy both!

Well I got the benetint and benetint lip gloss on Monday. I do like the benetint because it makes my cheeks look like im flushing, and its a natural look. When I first put it on nothing showed up soi kept putting more and more on. I didnt know you have to wait a few seconds- minutes later my cheeks were really really pink! Anyway, i do recommend it if you want the natural pink-look on your cheeks.

As for the lipbalm, well i thought that too adds a natural looking rose color to your lips, but its just like other lipglosses I have used. It smells like roses, which im not too found of. I like the smell of flowers, but not on my lips. Plus, i paid 18 dollars for it which it ridiculous. Its not something amazing- so i wouldnt recommend that. I put it on after my lipstick for the "shiny" affect because since it was so darn expensive, i want to get my money's worth!

I just bought Christian Dior- Diorific Plastic Shine in Charming Brown...it's awesome!! Best lipgloss out there!

I wear Elizabeth Arden flawless finish foundation.
I wear Clinique lipstick...I think cherry cola.
When not wearing lipstick I wear Carmex or Softlips.
I get cheap eyeshadow from the grocery store or I use the free gift ones. I just use whatever neutral shade.
When I wear mascara it is Lancome Magnificils in Brown.

I do not chemically treat my hair. I use Aveda Rosemary Mint and Shampure. I rotate them. It works well that way. Sometimes I use the Curessence or Sap Moss...My mom is an Aveda junkie, so this is always available.
I always use Farouk silk protien on my hair after I wash it. I swear it can make anyone's hair look like a you just had it blown straight at the salon. I love it.

Also, I really like the Origins Salt Scrub. It is so awesome. We sell something like that at BBW but don't buy it...get the real thing!

I am pretty hardcore about my Chanel Glossimer lipgloss. I own five different colors, but my absolute favorite is Unity. It's the perfect glossy neutral brown color. It works on everyone. I love it, because it shines, doesn't smell and isn't "tacky" like MAC's lipglass (which I hate).

lyrelyre · #42 12-18-2001, 01:41 AM

I wear Merle Norman everything and I use their skin care. It is awesome! All of my friend tease me though, they're like "How old are you-my grandma wears Merle Norman." It really is good stuff.

I like Aveda and KMS for my hair.

My favorite perfumes are Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan and Jean Paul by Jean Paul Gaultier. It depends what time of year I like something lighter in the spring and summer-something sweeter in the winter and autumn.

What about clothing stores? I could not live without Harold's.

Speaking of makeup and such...did you know that when you return something to bath and body works, we throw it directly into the trash? Even if we know you couldn't have used it. It goes completely to waste. I told our manager that we should at least take it to the homeless shelter or something and she said she had already lobbied for that and the company insists that you toss it!

I suppose it's a good cautionary measure-- you don't know what people have done with it!

I can't live without Clinique's Glosswear line (Tenderheart is my favorite but I wear most of them) and my all-time favorite lipstick, Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. It suits everyone, I swear!!

My fragrances of the moment are Ralph Lauren's Glamorous and Ralph as well as Lancome's Miracle. Mmmm.

Has anyone tried Clinique's new "Happier"? My senior year in h.s., I wore Happy like it was going out of style! It still reminds me of that time in my life, so I hardly ever wear it (unless I want to feel 17 again!) but I'd love to try this new one. What do y'all think of it?
