Does anyone have a recommendation for mascara?

I have non existant eyelashes.... and my favorite mascara is Falsies Volume Express (in a purple tube) by Maybelline. Yeah, it's only about $6 at Walmart

I have totally abandoned wearing mascara because I have yet to find one that doesn't smudge. I have oily skin, tear up frequently and rub my eyes a lot....so, yea, my fault!

Anybody know of a totally absolutely "I don't care what you do" smudge-proof mascara?

And, on the moisturizer question....I've always found that the Olay products work really well and are not badly priced.

Cover Girl makes an awesome mascara...it's their new 24 Hour waterproof in the black tube...i have smudging problems too and so far so good with this one. Also L'Oreal in the red & white tube stays put...you put on the white base and follow with the color...comes off with warm water but otherwise stays on...

Next time I make it to the MAC store, I will pick you up some of their mascara. I have found their waterproof eyeliner and Studio Fix powder foundation, don't come off unless you wash it off with soap...Love it..

Yeah, I don't have eyelashes either! Thanks for the recommendation!

i've never found an over the counter moisturizer i like, so i stick to frag-free curel lotion for my body and coconut oil for my face as a makeup remover/moisturizer. the frag-free curel still has some neurotoxic chemicals in it so i'm hoping to switch to shea butter soon and see if that works better.

i also do face/body scrubs with ground rice and oil, and masks with avocado, honey, and whatever other ingredients i happen to have on hand. putting coconut oil on hands and feet and covering with gloves or socks can help with deep moisturizing.

thanks aishah....in most Walmarts here and most drug stores, there are both socklets and gloves to use for overnight moisturizing. I can't remember if the gloves are, but I do know the socklets are impregnated with a product to help moisturize the feet over night...as an aside, I have even seen them in the BiLo grocery stores locally!
A pair of plain white, thin cotton gloves can be used after applying Vaseline liberally to one's hands to help soften them overnight, too....had a friend who did that for years...she would buy a box of disposable, thin white cotton gloves...her hands were like velvet!

I remember my mom recommending vaseline with white cotton socks overnight. I guess she did (does?) it periodically.

Rockinonahigh · 07-31-2012, 06:55 PM

I found something called utter butter..yeah I know...but my hands get really dryed out with all the hand washing I do..works great.

This maybe a good place to remind everyone, including myself, that what we put on our skin is absorbed, at least in part, into our tissues, deep tissues and then blood stream.

Remember that our skin is the largest organ and is permeable to all chemicals. Reading the contents of lotions, oils, soaps is confusing but the milder and the more organic the better. There are tons of carcinogens out there to watch for.

Putting anything on our skin, including sun tan oils, is the same as sticking some of it in our veins.

Something i tend to let slide, and really we shouldn't.

I have used every moisturizer in the book (or at least feel like I have) and I can say that I skim a coat of Cetaphil on my face every morning. It works as well as way more expensive brands. I do, however, love me some Origins products if I wanna splurge!

I LOVE shea butter for body lotion. It is a super heavy moisturizer but you can use it in your hair and basically everywhere.
