What beauty products do you use?
General | December 15, 2009
Inspired by Amanda, I also decided to make a post about hygiene and beauty products, but what I want to know is not how you use them or how many you use, but which products.
Me, currently:
- Shower stuff – Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner, Caress soap, Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Shower Gel, Clinique liquid facial soap, Skintimate Raspberry Rain Moisturizing Shave Gel, Venus razors
- Face moisturizers – Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, Clinique Moisture Surge, Philosophy Hope in a Jar
- Hand/body lotion – Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Moisturizing Creme, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Creme, Bath & Body Works P.S. I Love You Body Lotion, Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Lotion, Brown Sugar & Fig Body Lotion
- Perfumes/body sprays – Japanese Cherry Blossom body spray, Kenzo Amour, Chanel Chance
(When people give me body sprays with scents I don’t particularly like on me, I use them to spray my room.) - Makeup – some nondescript eyeliner / eyebrow pencil in a metal tube, Burt’s Bees lip balm (I have honey and pomegranate; the original beeswax one is gross), Clinique High Impact mascara, Dior mascara
(I don’t use mascara often at all; usually I just curl my lashes and leave it at that.)
I like switching products and scents sometimes, so don’t think I use everything I listed all at once, but I think that about covers everything I’m in the process of using.
Your turn: What products do you use? (Feel free to answer even if you’re a guy.)
OOoh okay.
SHOWER STUFF
Normally just whatever’s on sale.
Shampoo & Conditioner: Tresemme
Body Wash: Whatever. I’m using up about ten bottles worth of half-empty body washes my housemates ex-girlfriend left behind (various brands), so I’ve got about a year’s worth of body wash to go through.
Face Scrub: St Ives Apricot Scrub
FACE/BODY STUFF
Clay Masks: Whatever’s on sale. I’m using something from China atm (brand is Lantern?), and I’ve got a bottle of Clean & Clear mask in stock for when that runs out.
Toner: Nivea Visage.
Face Moisturiser: Olay (sensitive skin version).
Body Moisturiser: Redwin Sorbolene Lotion
Sunscreen: Le Tan scentless sunscreen
MAKEUP
Foundation: Covergirl Clean Makeup. Switching to Australis scentfree foundation when I finish it.
Powder: Covergirl clean powder – switching to Australis scentfree.
Bronzer: A Rimmel bronzer that came in a gift pack I got for my 21st birthday (two years ago – that’s how often I use it!)
Mascara: Ditto, Rimmel mascara in gift pack
Lip Balm: Lucas’s Paw Paw Ointment
OTHER
Hair Styling Stuff: Again, using up about ten bottles of left-over stuff from housemate’s ex . After I use it all up though, I’m just going to use the tiniest dab of olive oil each day to smooth out stray hairs.
Deodorant: Mitchun unscented roll-on deodorant
…I think that’s mainly it.
Shower Stuff: Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner, St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter body wash, Lancome Pomegranate face wash
Face stuff: Shiseido face cream and Dove day cream
Body stuff: St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter body lotion
Makeup: Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Lancome, and DuWop eyeshadows, Revlon blush, L’Oreal foundation, Lancome mascara & primer, random eyeliner from China
Perfume: Elizabeth Arden Red Door and Green Tea (my mom’s leftovers), Ralph Lauren. I think I got these 2 years ago… I don’t usually wear perfume.
I think that’s all of it, I’ve had most of the makeup and the perfume for a while.
Shower stuff –
John Freida Brilliant Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner
Dermeze Soap Free Body Wash
Origins Checks & Balances Face Wash
For shaving cream I just use whatever the boy has…
Face moisturizers –
Origins – A Perfect World face moisturizer
Perfumes/body sprays –
I rotate through about three different ones depending on my mood.
Gucci’s Envy Me
Ed Hardy – Woman
Ralph Hot by Ralph Lauren
Makeup – I’m not really a makeup person, so much so I can’t even tell you what I’m using, it’s usually just cheap stuff I’ve picked up at Priceline or the supermarket. For lip balm I use Lucas’s Paw Paw Ointment.
Other Stuff –
Hair finishing creme – Vlot By Schwarzkopf
That’s about it.
