lmdonnel · April 2014

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser?

Clean & Clear Blackhead Eraser.. LOVE the way my face feels after a good scrub in the shower!
2. What's your current perfume?

Elizabeth Arden Pretty Hot
3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner?

I just use the Suave Professionals Volume Enhancer, nothing special (or expensive).
4. #1 beauty product you can't live without.
Lotion, I HAVE to put it on every morning and every night.
5. Do you use self tan/bronzer?

Bronzer for the face (I don't use liquid foundation or anything) and Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer during the fall and winter. Once it warms up and I can get some rays outside, I just use Suave extra moisturizing lotion.
6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding of itchiness/stretch marks?

Since I already lather day and night, nothing new, but will definitely be looking into the Palmer's lotion.
7. Favorite mascara?

I use Mary Kay make-up, so the black lengthening.
8. Are you addicted to tweezing?

I tweeze my eyebrows every other day.
9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save?

LOVE me some mani/pedis, but I'm not a big "beauty product" spender. I use very little make-up compared to some of my girlfriends and I use one or two squirts of hair spray in the mornings and that's about it.
10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose?

Probably a hot pink

Milo5181 · April 2014

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser? Ren Evercalm Cleansing Milk

2. Current perfume? None, I have stopped wearing perfume because I share my office with someone allergic, and so I just got out of the habit of putting it on.

3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner? Devacurl

4. #1 beauty product you can't live without. Dark taupe eyeshadow. Can define the eyes, shadow the lids or even help the eyebrows in a pinch.

5. Self tan/bronzer? I use one by Tarte for my body and bobbi brown bronzer for my face.

6. Slathering your bump? Just coconut oil when I get out of the shower.

7. Favorite mascara? Benefit They're Real!

8. Addicted to tweezing? Nope and I am so glad!

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save? I splurge on everything except Nivea Creme and Trader Joe's Nourish shampoo.

10. Mani/pedi colors? Probably some sort of pale pink for both. I don't do bright colors until it's really summertime.

kayemgi · April 2014

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser? I have to use a cleanser prescribed by my dermatologist, so no favorite for me. It works great though!
2. What's your current perfume? Viva la Juicy is my guilty pleasure. But I wore Vera Wang's Lovestruck at my wedding and during our honeymoon in Sept. 2012 and waited a year before wearing it again...I've been wearing it all the time lately and it brings back memories of that week and it's so awesome! I love it.
3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner? Tresemme Anti-Breakage
4. #1 beauty product you can't live without. I want to say mascara but for realsies it's probably my facial cleanser or else I'd have pizza-face 24/7.
5. Do you use self tan/bronzer? I used to self tan but I don't anymore. I don't like the idea of all those chemical soaking into my skin. I use bronzer sometimes in the spring (been using it lately) as a blush just to give my face some life.
6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding of itchiness/stretch marks? Oh my god the itchiness. I've been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion on my entire midsection, front and back, including my chest. It does help a bit with the itchiness. I have no misconceptions that it will help with stretch marks. I got them in high school when I started swim team and later with laziness weight gains, and I'm sure I'll get them from pregnancy eventually!
7. Favorite mascara? Smashbox Full Exposure and Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes
8. Are you addicted to tweezing? No, I wax my brows myself every three weeks or so. Hardly ever have to tweeze anymore!
9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save? I started splurging on makeup in the year leading up to my wedding and there's certain things where I'll never go back. Good primer, concealer and mascara are all worth the extra cost to me. I save on eyeshadow, blush, eyeliner, foundation and nail polish.
10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose? I have so many colors! I love nail polish. If I were having one today I would choose this great deep peacock teal I got recently for fingers and a fun neon yellow for toes.

biokitty42 · April 2014

I probably shouldn't even participate because I am very low-maintenance (i.e. mostly clean most of the time and that's about it).

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser?

Dove soap. See?

2. What's your current perfume?

Something my sister got me from France about 6 years ago. I almost never wear it, but I like it.

3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner?

Pantene Pro-V Volume.

4. #1 beauty product you can't live without.

Uhhhh? Soft Lips.

5. Do you use self tan/bronzer?

Nope. Not opposed to the idea, just lazy. I am pasty white and resigned to it.

6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding of itchiness/stretch marks?

Nope. My weight has been up and down my whole life, so I've had stretch marks forever.

7. Favorite mascara?

Regular Maybelline dark brown.

8. Are you addicted to tweezing?

No, but I do tweeze! That is one thing I keep up with.

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save?

I can't even think of a splurge except for the very occasional pedicure. I always use the coupons Bath and Body Works sends for a free travel size item. They send one every month or two, so I rarely have to pay for body wash.

10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose?

I kind of like the sound of a bright pink for spring. Not neon, but not pale.

6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding off itchiness/stretch marks? Not yet, but I am starting to get itchy so I am planning on using a homemade blend of coconut oil and shea butter

7. Favorite mascara? Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express (waterproof for weddings...it will give anybody va-va-voom lashes and actually stays on!)

8. Are you addicted to tweezing? Addicted? Nope, but I am too cheap to pay for waxing and I was blessed with naturally "fluffy" eyebrows, so it doesn't leave much of a choice. Tweezing happens most days.

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save? Splurge: Too Faced: 3*Way Lash Lining Tool ($22 for liquid eyeliner but it is amazing, easy to use, and lasts forever);

Save: Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus ($7 for the only lip color that looks good on me...I count it as a "save" because compared to most lip colors, this is on the inexpensive side and actually looks good so I am not throwing away money trying different products)

10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose? Gel French mani/pedi because it would make me feel pretty. Otherwise, mint green & gold because it is different and a pretty combo

Djcieply · April 2014

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser? Im currently using Mary Kay Velocity

2. What's your current perfume? Victoria's Secret Very Sexy. Im not a huge fan of it but DH likes it. I was using it when we started dating because I had it just lying around and I had asked him for new perfume (as in something different because he had no idea what I was wearing) for my birthday and he got me the same stuff, I was kinda bummed.

3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner? Im using Tresemme right now I usually buy something different everytime I run out.

4. #1 beauty product you can't live without. Hair ties and bobby pins, I can only stand my hair being down for short periods of time.

5. Do you use self tan/bronzer? No

6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding off itchiness/stretch marks? Not this time. I did it religiously last pregnancy and it didnt help at all.

7. Favorite mascara? Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara

8. Are you addicted to tweezing? No, I can count on one hand how many times I have done that or gotten my eye brows waxed. The times Ive been waxed they always tell me I dont even need it.

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save? I guess my save is that I use hair conditioner for shaving my legs instead of shaving cream. It works the same and is a lot cheaper. My splurge would be whenever I buy any Bobbi Brown products.

10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose? I would only get a pedi, I cant grow finger nails to save my life they always break. Color would probably be a deep red.

I'm in need of a lunch break diversion! Thanks for posting this

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser? I loved the Neutrogena hydrating cleanser and makeup remover but it's been discontinued and replaced with this "Extra Gentle" formula-- which is ok but not as hydrating as the old one. I'm seriously considering switching to oil but I just haven't made the jump yet.

2. What's your current perfume? I wish I were into perfume but I'm just not.

3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner? The B&B with sunflower extract

4. #1 beauty product you can't live without. Lash Blast Mascara.

5. Do you use self tan/bronzer? I like the Jergens daily tanner/lotion stuff because I can't eff it up and make my knees and ankles orange.

6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding off itchiness/stretch marks? I use coca butter lotion after every shower but I've been using that for years. I don't think it's going to do anything magical for the stretch marks but it sure does feel nice and smell good.

7. Favorite mascara? Lash Blast. (see above)

8. Are you addicted to tweezing? No, I'm actually THE WORST at keeping my eyebrows in check (hence the bangs). I do like to go to the Benefit Beauty Bar to have my brows done when they get out of control. I don't ever do the wax though, it makes me break out.

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save? I don't have a routine splurge but it's usually hair related (something like Living Proof Straight Making Serum or my CHI flat iron). I'm pretty much a tight-ass when it comes to makeup. My recent beauty save is Pond's cream for night. My grandmother used it and it just smells so good to me- plus it was like $4.

10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose? In a fantasy world I'd pick OPI's Vodka and Caviar but that was tragically discontinued. Last time I went with OPI's Thrill of Brazil which is going to have to be my substitute go-to red.... why does everything I love get discontinued????

Love this thread ... I'm a sucker for products.

1. Favorite Facial Cleanser?
Right now, I'm using Oil of Olay Fresh Effects shine-minimizing cleanser, but mostly because it smells nice.

2. What's your current perfume?
Philosophy's Live in Grace roller-ball perfume -- it smells ever so slightly like sunscreen, which got me through a brutally cold winter.

3. Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner?
I use John Freida stuff because it tames my hair, but I occasionally use the original Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner in the pink bottles for the awesome smell. Viva la '90s!

4. #1 beauty product you can't live without.
Moisturizer with sunscreen: Oil of Olay for most of the year and Coppertone Faces in the summer. I burn easily.

5. Do you use self tan/bronzer?
I've accepted my ghost-y pale skin. Bronzer just looks weird on me.

6. Have you been slathering your bump with anything in hopes of warding off itchiness/stretch marks?
Uh, no. After reading through this thread, maybe I should?

7. Favorite mascara?
Maybelline's Great Lash (the pink and green bottle another poster mentioned)

8. Are you addicted to tweezing?
Only for occasional maintenance. I travel nearly an hour to the middle of Queens to get my brows threaded every couple of months.

9. What's your beauty splurge or beauty save?
I love Benefit's Dandelion powder -- $28 is a lot to spend on blush, but everything else looks unnatural on me. My beauty save is Cover Girl Lipslicks, just the right amount of subtle color and gloss.

10. Today you're having a mani/pedi. What colors will you choose?
I don't bother with manicures because mine always chip right away. LOVE pedicures, though, especially after a long stretch of 12-hour shifts. I'm all about hot pinks and corals for the summer.
