Exfoliate - it really makes a difference. I use:
Cetaphil for face and body cleansing. Those pouf things are great for applying the Cetaphil.
CeraVe lotion - the SA (salicytic acid) or the other one, depending on my skin and the time of year.
And I swear by 100% african shea butter (either the West African or the East African. The latter is way more expensive but I love it). I layer on lotion and cream to keep skin hydrated.
Sunblock everywhere, especially on the backs of my hands.
For cosmetics I like the Bobbie Brown line, great colors and quality. And eos lip balm - lasts forever.

Has anyone else tried Younique's 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara? I don't know why I can't get it to look right on me, but I keep seeing other women use it with great results! Is it just me?

Bump!
Has anyone used the CeraVe AM facial moisturizer? I need something to replace Clinique DDML since it has taken the express to Suck Town.

I've used the evening one but not the daytime. Would be interested on your thoughts if you try it out.
Been using a First Aid Beauty night cream the past few weeks and really like it. May be too heavy as the weather changes but considering trying out one of their daytime creams next.

I have the Younique mascara. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I feel like I have tarantulas on my eyes. lol
Some of my favs:
NAILS
For nail polish if I don't have an acrylic top coat over my natural nails, I like Red Carpet Manicure gel polish.
Regular polish: OPI's I Theodora You, Out The Door fast dry top coat
FACE
Bare Minerals foundation or Revlon PhotoReady
Revlon's Wine With Everything lipstick (I have a zillion lipsticks from all different brands)
Revlon pressed powder
L'Oreal concealer crayon
Younique 3D mascara or Maybelline Great Lash
SKINCARE
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash (I don't have acne, but I like that it has salicylic acid).
Skin Obsession Glycolic Peel 40%
Alpha Hydrox lotion
PERFUME
Estee Lauder Pleasures
Clinique Happy Heart
Lancome Tresor

Ladies, I need your help. I'm looking for product recommendations for color correction. I have dark under eye circles/bags and concealer alone doesn't work. What are your favorite products to tackle this problem?

You need a peach toned corrector. There's one called Eve Pearl that is supposed to be good. I like the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer with the little sponge.

I agree with 33girl on the color correction. I have the same problem with dark circles. The best product I've found is Conceal from Mirabella. I think it comes in different tones...mine says "diminish 1" on the label. I bought it at the salon I go to on recommendation of one of the stylists who specializes in wedding party make-up.

Target is now carrying a brand called Boots. It is a pharmacy brand from the UK. Friends of mine who live there speak highly of it. I never tried any of it when I was there- just too busy to shop for skin care!! I haven't found any in the Targets near me, so it obviously isn't in all of them yet.

They've had Boots in Target for like a decade now. I think they might be phasing it out rather than getting more of it.

Huh, that's interesting, cause last month I read an article about it now being brought into Target. That was why I have been looking for it. I wonder what's up?

Some of the Target stores in SoCal have a Boots representative in the cosmetic department to promote the brand, test colors, answer questions, etc.
She helped me finally find a blush color that goes with my skin tone. After years of spending lots of money experimenting with store brands.
