A great body scrub...
Neutrogena sesame seed oil mixed with regular table salt. I use equal amounts of oil vs salt in the cup of my hand. Love it before I shave my legs. Use it on my feet as well. Leaves skin silky smooth

I've been trying to find some decent and affordable cruelty-free cosmetics. Any suggestions?

And in the winter when we get extra dry, try sugar instead of salt.

Or spending too much time on Pinterest...they do the thinking for me.

Hands down.... my favorite face wash! And you can't beat it for around $6 a bottle.
I have nonexistant eyelashes, and my favorite mascara find is about $5 a tube, too. |

I worked for a wonderful Italian lady while I was in SC...she had lovely skin and was in her 70s. She swore by Nivea in the blue jar. I have been using it ever since and I love it. I think I paid 4 something for the large jar at Walmart and its lasted me a long time. And I use it most every night.
I also use a daytime moisturizer (when I remember) with an SPF 15 at least. I get the store brand that is similar to Oil of Olay..same ingredients...much better price... |

I don't buy much in the way of cosmetics or hair products in the drug stores because I find their mark up ridiculous, as ridiculous as the mark up in department stores.
I do most of my shopping for high quality beauty and hair products on ebay and usually save 50-70% buying them there... my Pureology shampoo and conditioner will cost me $90 for two 33oz bottles which will last for at least 10months (that amounts to less than $10/mo on shampoo and conditioner). Buying on ebay isn't convenient for a quick, easy fix - it requires patience and searching out the best deals but I've found it saves me a ton of money while still allowing me the indulgence of high-end products. Similarly the Redken volumizing hair products I would pay $15-20 for in the salon or the drugstore, I can get for $10 or less on ebay... YSL Touche Eclat, the best highlighter pen on the market costs over $40 in the department store, but I can find for $12-16 on ebay... Urban Decay palettes that run $50+ I can find for $25, on average.... Benefit lipsticks cost $22 per tube, I can find them on ebay for $10 or less... And if I do enough deal searching, I can buy most of these products with no shipping charges. One drugstore item I LOVE is: Witch hazel, an all-natural astringent/toner. A bottle of Clinique's toner/clarifying lotion costs $35 or more, and contains mostly witch hazel. Thayers all natural remedies witch hazel costs $8 and IMO works better, and it can be found in most drug stores, grocery stores or places like walmart/target. Oooh and Loreal does a wonderful line of eyeshadows called "HIP" High Intensity Pigments. I prefer the loose eyeshadow called "HIP Shocking Shadow Pigments" that comes in a small pot. This is "going out/dressing up" eyeshadow it has an intense bold concentration of colour. I love the two shades I have. I've found it on ebay and amazon for about $5, I think that is about half of what I've paid in a drug store. *great product and lasts forever!!!

I totally forgot I use Oil of Olay Regenerist as well. I dont use one kind all the time. I am a firm believer that my skin, hair and teeth all get use to one brand and then it needs a change.
I have a local lady who makes and sells natural soaps and lotions and scrubs and bath balls. Her sugar scrubs are to die for! Now, they are seriously natural so there is nothing added that keeps it from clumping so you have to work some in the palm of your hand to make the magic, but the result is incredible on my face! I get dried out so easily so I never ever ever use soap on my face. NEVER. I use plain water. I cant even use make up remover! But her sugar scrub does it for me! It leaves me feeling clean and does not dry me out at all. She has me sold. I also use her soaps. I have tried other natural soaps and they either dont lather well, or they dissolve too quickly or they dry out my skin or they lose their smell. Her one bar of nag champa lasted me 4 months! And it never lost its smell nor did it dry me out. And I loved the low lather...just enough to make it fun in the shower! LOL. Imma lucky gal....

>>That's interesting...I've tried the Loreal lash serum..and although it conditioned my lashes, I didn't really notice any increased fullness or length. I do like the idea of the serum being in the mascara...2for1. The same with Visible Lift...I love products that multi-task, don't you? |

>>I like your choices of perfume, Sachita. Noxema is a staple for me. Great for removing make-up...and nothing works better for soothing a sunburn. It just leaves your skin feeling soft, clean, cool, and refreshed. |

>>I'm a sucker for Lush products. They used to make a perfume oil that I wore religously for several years called "Karma". Sadly, they discontinued it and I wasn't aware that they had, so I used it all up and couldn't take it in to have it recreated. So, hopefully they'll bring it back at some point.
