I'm seconding or thirding or however-many-it-ising the coconut oil suggestion. I get the big jar at Target in the baking aisle. It doesn't give me breakouts or anything and it's wonderfully soothing. I just moved to colder climate where we actually have to heat our house in the winter and my skin and hair have been all "oh no you didn't!" and gotten all stupid itchy and dry. The really awesome thing about coconut oil is that it's solid at room temperature (at least it is here!) and I'm a massive klutz so it doesn't spill when I knock it over. I rub it into my body and hair after a shower.

I also like Simple Sensitive skin facewash. They just started carrying it at Target, and it's about the same as Neutrogena products price/size wise. I have excema so its very hard to find products I can use.

Her back tattoo mermaid, which is beautiful but was certainly not cheap, is fantastic.

So I've been looking for a lightweight foundation sort of beauty product lately. I have really sensitive skin with allergies to quite a few skin care products. Most foundation type products make my skin break out and my rosacea bloom. I considered making my own all natural foundation but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Today I bought a product that didn't irritate my skin at all. It is Pacifica's Alight Bare skin tint (a BB cream). The product claims to be "shade matching" and while it looked darker than my skin tone it blended perfectly (I am fare and rosy complected). It was a light finish and easy to apply.

I found it at Target. I love Pacifica's perfumes. And there lip tints. So I am partial to the brand.

I wanted to drop a hint on a cheap product I found that works amazingly!

I'm a huge fan of keeping some type of facial scrub in the shower and have always used St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I recently discovered that Wal-Mart carries a "house" brand of it that is about half the price. (and don't get me wrong, they are both incredibly cheap...One is $4, one is $2).

Anyway, I tried the house brand and found it to be just as good as the more expensive one!
