I use the Clarisonic Mia on my face and it is wonderful. They have the cleanser for sensitive skin as well which I use and have yet to have a problem. Exfoliation is something our skin needs http://www.sephora.com/mia-skin-clea...system-P285163

Your skin looks seriously gorgeous so fast. I can't love it enough.

Oh and I've become such a fan of Philosophy's Miracle Worker skin care products. It's sad to learn late in life that you really do get what you pay for with skin care and if I could tell my younger self anything of any value, it would be to use better quality products at a younger age. It's absolutely worth a few extra dollars in the long run.
Thank you for the advice on skin care ....*taking notes

I'm going to make a run to Macy's and give it a shot. I have the UD oil control product and it's fab. I hadn't thought to use it under the MAC BB. At this point I'm doing more, not less......so.......I'm not terribly perturbed since this is the only product I've not liked and consequently I didn't like the UD tinted moisturizer that came out 2 summers ago. Even switch!! Thanks for the tips darling!

I am almost positive this is due to the pigments they chose to use so they could get decent coverage within the BB cream. The only solution I have found for the MAC BB Cream is to use the Benefit Porefessional under as your moisturizer then apply and set if needed then for your oil issue use http://www.urbandecay.com/De-Slick-O...efault,pd.html which is absolutely fabulous for oil control...that has been my only workaround for the MAC BB issue but it is of course a crap ton of steps.

Another great BB Cream is Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream it has a primer moisturizer and oil control built in. It is a great one step fix

Good? Bad? So-so?

I got

for Pete and I got

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_urC7sjnhfP...onditioner.jpg

for myself.

I have very fine curly hair hair so lately I've been combing my hair in the shower with a wide tooth comb before I rinse out the conditioner.

I also use

as a leave in conditioner.

Chancie 03-03-2013 06:15 AM
I use

http://d277vln4jzkhhg.cloudfront.net...r-Cleanser.jpg

when I remember.

It isn't a very spendy purchase, but my skin feels smoother after I use it.

I don't know how it compares to other similar products but it's awesome that I can use it in the shower. I expected to have to change the battery by now, but it's possible Pete snuck in and changed it.

Does this exfoliate? Or massage? Or both?

I think the Neutrogena Wave is a gentle exfoliant.

I use the sensitive pads, and

I always use something on my face afterwards.

Facial Machines
 
There are 3 different kinds of facial treatment items I use...


Youthful Essence: Love, love, love this kit; it comes with so many attachments and the scrub to use. It is an awesome kit and I highly recommend it. You can get on auto ship for the new attachments and the scrub Get it!
DermaWand: also excellent item; really smooths out lines and lifts area above brow up. Highly recommend this too.
NuBriilance: very pricey but works good; much prefer the above 2

Hey Unc,

Did you get these items on HSN? Or where?

BareMinerals
 
Someone asked where you can get BareMineral products. I found the best prices on theri web sit. They have great starter kits to try and not that expensive for a wonderful product.

Facials products
 
Meri,
I did get the facial products on HSN, yes. As I mentioned, my favorite is the Youthful Essence! It has a nice unit that can be used in the shower and comes with numerous pads to use on it for exfoliating and cleaning.

uncommondialogue 03-03-2013 03:23 PM
P.S.
 
Also, that DermaWand is great for toning up the skin!

BB Creams have revolutionized my life! And, caused quite the rift between me and foundation. A favourite at the moment is Smashbox -Camera Ready. Truly delightful!

I've been using this eye cream (Stila - Petal Infusions) for about a week now and wanted to give anyone interested a sort of review:

http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...pseb91acf4.jpg

If you have sensitive eyes/skin, this stuff is great. My first litmus test is always 1) do my eyes water 2) does it seem to calm my skin. It has done both of these consistently. I can't vouch for long-term use and its effects on wrinkles or dark circles or puffiness. I will report back after a month or so for those properties.


Happy shopping!~ :blueheels:

Another product review: Peter Coppola's DNA (Hydrating Hair Serum - soy-based):

http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...psca3b7e96.jpg

I bought this stuff randomly and LOVE it! It's very hydrating without making hair oily. The directions say to add a few drops to your normal leave-in hair product or you can apply it directly to hair. I just add it to my night-time hair repair stuff and it seems to really help. It doesn't smooth your hair cuticle, but it does hydrate.

:tea:

I have tried this cream rinse for about a week and it is so-so. It smells really nice (like ginger) and detangles long hair, but that's about all it seems to do. I think the intensive conditioner may work better.

Hope this helps someone!

When I look at the color/shade selection for this product, it appears the only undertone available is pink/blue. Do you have cool/pink or blue undertoned skin?

Ok another shameless plug for a new product I picked up The Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/smashbox...9-001b2166c62d

It has great staying power and a nice brightener in it without it giving you that odd glowing look that I am sure nobody wants underneath their eyes.
