Yes I usually rinse with vinegar and wash with baking soda, but lately I've been doing an olive oil and vinegar pre soak and then washing it with the baking soda. I only use Braggs Apple cider vinegar w/ amino acids

Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Skin Care line. It's SO natural I can pronounce all the ingredients. LOL. I also like The Body Shop's Moringa Body Butter and Eco-Lips Sport lip balm.

I still revel in the rosy color and fizzy taste of Bonne Bell Lip Smacker lip gloss in Dr. Pepper.

Eyelash curler - dead serious, makes my eyes go POW & stand out.
Artisty mascara - the only think I can use on my sensitive eyes, and the brush for it is AWESOME.
Arbonne Awaken Sea Salt Scrub. YUM!!!
And I NEVER go to bed without putting chapstick on. It is a ritual (like brushing my teeth) and I hardy ever get chapped lips or coldsores! YEAH!

OK girls...here's the skinny....I work for a dermatologist, and you DON'T need to spend a lot of money on skin care products.....Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser from the drug store, and prescription Retin-A for the fine lines...it works like the most expensive masks and exfoliators!

Lip Fusion... makes skinny lips look good
Nars... powder blush: Orgasm (pale & natural pink)
Getting my pale but long eyelashes tinted so I don't have to bother with mascara
Eye lash curler... makes ALL the difference - the old fashioned metal kind with rubber refills
SmashBox gloss... Icon (ohhhh the compliments) it's as close as I can come to the discontinued Bobbi Brown gloss, 'Fudge.' If anyone knows where there is some, please write me!!
Skin Care: Don't use soap, drink water, and I use Neo Strata Wrinkle Repair... it's really awesome and has greatly reduced deep lines around my mouth

I have used the same products all my life.
Aloe Vera Gel: I use it on my face, my body, it works great on my skin.
Oil of Olay: The old fashioned bottle (yellow). It's the old fashioned stuff, but they added sunscreen to it.
Smoothwear Compact Foundation by Cover Girl: It is a one step liquid to powder formula that takes seconds to apply. I am lazy in the morning, so I have to keep things simple.
LipSmackers brand lipbalm/lipgloss: It looks and feels like chapstick, is ultra moisturizing, super shiny and smells delicious. Mmm.
Pure Olive oil for conditioning the hair or moisturizing the feet, elbows and knees and of course for eating as it promotes health and beauty from within since it is one of the "food fats" essential for a healthy body.
Oh, and don't laugh, I use Cashmere Bouquet beauty soap. I know it is ancient, but, it works.
Also, a smile makes me look better.
And a cup of Ovaltine reduces stress which also makes me look better.

Fashionable Fun

Me too! My grandmother used it and her (sensitive!) skin was so lovely and unlined, that I decided many years ago, that it would probably work for me also. It does, I love it!

My can't live without beauty products are:

Mascara - current fave DiorShow, also love Maybelline Full N Soft, Max Factor 2000 calorie
Brows - current fave Lorac Brow pencil in Auburn - it has a spoolie at the end - perfect color match - makes all the difference in my over all look
SPF - current fave SKinMedica SPF 30 - I'm super fair - gotta use a high spf year round
Lipgloss - current fave LipFusion gloss in bloom - I have thin lips - this stuff defines my upper lip and I love the slight numbing tingle - I hate glosses that burn and hurt my lips.
Foundation - current fave Bobbi Brow oil free liquid foundation - Porcelain 0 is the only foundation that looks like I'm not wearing foundation
Under Eye Brightener - Smashbox Photo Op Under eye brightener. - it softens lines, and brightens - it's not a concealer - but it makes a huge difference without looking like I'm wearing heavy makeup.
Blush -Nars Cream Blush in Penny Lane and Guele de Nuit - soft not sticky, blendable and stays put all day. Oh and my HG blush is Smashbox Blush Rush in Charm from the Wicked Lovely Collection - still available at smashbox.com - it's a soft warm pink - I love it.

and good skin care is the best makeup. of course....
Skin Medica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer is rockin' my world right now.

Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner. I have oily eye lids and live in a warm-humid climate. This is the only eyeliner that doesn't slide down my face by lunchtime. I'm also a Philosophy girl. Can't live without my Hope in a Bottle.

I've always wondered this - is it a good idea to use different face creams during the day vs. night? I always see advertisements for them but never know if it's just another marketing gimmick.

I'm addicted to my eyeliner and mascara from Bobby Brown.. and am currently using a great lavender body butter from L'occitane.

Everyday Minerals has a line of beautiful and affordable mineral make-up products that have seriously changed my life. My skin is so much happier with mineral makeup that I'm spending less on other skincare products, and Everyday Minerals provides great quality and service at amazingly reasonable prices. www.everydayminerals.com

My EO peppermint/grapefruit lotion. Yes, definitely Burt's Bees lip balm (original, not Honey-flavored). Grateful Body cleanser, moisturizer. Origins' Have a Nice Day face lotion SPF 15. My MAC brushes, eye shadows, blush. Origins press powder (Sheer) and fig lip gloss. Oooh, and my L'Oreal liquid liner. Yumminess! All of them! But I don't know if this is a product: my Sedu flat iron!!! Absolutely cannot live without her!

I am hooked on the Nutri Min C line from Arbonne. It's all plant based with vitamin C and lots of minerals and anti aging magic stuff! It actually gives you a glow and has been the only thing some of my friends with Rosecea (sp?) could use. I actually became a consultant a year ago because I was so impressed...and I hate selling stuff like that. I give all my commisisons to World Vision so it actually is fun when people love it, tell their friends and order. I also love their skin conditioning oil, it has a fresh Aveda-ish scent and soothes my skin when it's sufferring from the elements. Also love the fresh minty-ness of Burt's Bees tinted Lip Balms. Champagne is pretty and subtle.

A second vote for Rosebud Salve!! In addition to Emily-Sarah's uses I would add using it on my cuticles daily and soothing insect bites.

My favorite beauty product is not technically a beauty product - it's water. I can REALLY tell the difference in my skin when I am not drinking enough.
