    You like?! I'm so glad! I really like it too. I've finally learned the right pressure to use when applying it (pressure's not the right word but you know what I mean).

    Yeah, it took me a little while too.  At first I just found that I had too much mascara on, if that makes sense.  I've found that if I use less "pressure" and move the brush back and forth horizontally, I get less clumping and more separation.   And I think you're right that it's the most like the DiorShow that I've tried so far.

  • 1.  Shampoo/Conditioner:  LOVE the Eufora line!  Worth every penny!

    2.  Face moisturizer:  Haven't really found THE one yet, but like MK's Timewise line.

    3.  Makeup:  Right now, I'm liking Mary Kay, but love MAC.

    4.  Love Burt's Bees lip balm...especially during this cold, dry season!

  • I can't either, lol.
  • Shampoo/Conditioner: I buy the big bottles of Matrix.  A coworker of mine used to be a beautician and she is still able to go to the beauty supply store.  She gets them about half off I think but it still costs about $40 for both the shampoo and conditioner.  It lasts longer than the little bottles though, probably 3 months or so?

    I use proactiv so that's a splurge I think.  That stuff is pricey, to me anyways.  I use mostly Mary Kay makeup but I'm usually able to order it half off so it's not too bad.  I don't think there's much else I splurge on.  I kind of bought a bottle of this mint bath stuff and it was about $30.  I thought that was super expensive!

    I guess everything that I use is a steal! 

  • Shampoo/conditioner
    Splurge:  n/a
    Steal:  Suave (the white kind)  I tried it recently and I'm completely hooked.

    Face moisturizer/cream
    Splurge
    :  HIAJ
    Steal:  Cetaphil

  • I don't have any splurges either.  But that's okay.  I love my steals! 

     Shampoo: Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship

    Face Moisturizer: off brand of the Oil of Olay stuff

    Makeup: Cover Girl.  I've always used it and I like it better than anything else.

    I guess a splurge would be Victoria's Secret lotion, shower gel and body spray, but I haven't bought any in a long time because I stock up when they do the semi annual sales.  So now I'm just trying to get rid of it all!

  • Shampoo/Conditioner:

    SPLURGE - Kerastase

    STEAL - I actually haven't used any drugstore or cheap brand in several years.

    Face Moisturizer/cream

    SPLURGE - Kinerase

    STEAL - Purpose moisturizer from Target; it's actually my all time fave and I've been using it for awhile now

    Makeup

    SPLURGE - MAC, MUFE, Nars

    STEAL - Covergirl mascara - I like LashBlast

    My big steal is that purpose moisturizer.  I seriously love it.

    Same here!!!  

    Never have been a huge make up fan.....too many eye issues.  Last time I wore makeup was my wedding day and I paid 80 bucks to have it done!!

    I do love the neutrogena face moisturizer for sensitive skin!!  Herbal Esscenses volume shampoo - love it!! 

  • Shampoo/conditioner

    "Splurge" is Loreal EverPure, but I usually get it for next to nothing at CVS.

    Steal the white salon Suave BUT since I've been using EverPure my hair doesn't like it as well

    Moisturizer

    Splurge: HIAJ

    Steal: I used to use Aveeno

    Makeup

    Splurge: MAC, hopefully I will be doing just this VERY soon!

    Steal:  I got some Wet N Wild base eyeshadow, because I ran out of mine not near my Mary Kay lady in a town that doesn't have more than a Clinque counter, $1.99 works fine.
