    i don't wear a lot of makeup. just powder, generally.

    skin...i have to have lip balm of some type (i prefer burt's bees) and i have a cupboard full of victoria's secret amber romance everything. body butter, lotion, mist, body wash, perfume. when i was younger i always wore natural ambergris oil but when i stopped being able to find it, i didn't have a signature scent for years until i found the amber romance at vicky's.

    also can't live without a natural sea sponge for the shower.

    I have a question, at the moment I wear maybelline bb cream because I can't wear most foundations as they tend to dry out my skin, but I don't like the shiny effect it seems to have on my face. My face is naturally lighter than my neck and arms, so finding a foundation in my colour has always be difficult, but how would you rate powder foundations and does anyone have a particular brand they recommend and why? I would like good coverage and one that could last a good few hours.

    loreal mineral foundation works great for me :) i use it when it's hot

    it looks natural and doesn't cover my freckles even though i wish it would haha
    it's about £12-£15 and lasts about a couple of months

    For anyone that has ever had problems with their skin this is a LIFESAVER!!! My friend gave me a bottle a few months ago and it saved my skin:

    1) Carley's Clear and Smooth facewash, makeup, daytime lotion, nighttime lotion...etc etc etc
    I think I'll try it out. I've tried about everything and nothing ever works so I'll see how this turns out. Thanks a lot.

    try bare essentials, i can't wear most foundations because they cover my freckles and make my skin shiny - but this stuff doesn't do any of that AND has improved the health of my skin! :)

    Is this it? http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123443225499_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Beauty

    1. Urban Decay Naked Palette (Still trying to convince myself that I do NOT need the Naked 2!)
    2. Benefit YouRebel Light
    3. MAC Plush Lash Mascara*
    4. Essie Top Coat Good to Go
    5. The Body Shop Body Butter (Currently, I'm in love with blueberry)
    6. Lush Sugar Lip Scrub

    *I love this mascara and MAC in general but now that MAC's started to test on animals again I'm in desperate need of an alternative. I tried a couple others but am not really happy with them, yet. Suggestions are welcome!

    Um, yeah. That's because ambergris comes from the digestive tract of whales. And in most countries, it's illegal to kill whales.

    FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

    That's the main reason I loved MAC. I am seriously broken hearted now. Their lip condition is the best lip balm I have ever found. Welp. I guess the search begins anew.

    I know! Apparently, all brands of the Estee Lauder group went back to testing on animals. Rumor has it it's because the Chinese market requires it. :( I used to be such a sucker for anything MAC and the worst thing is I heard about it a day before I wanted to go and finally get the Russian Red lipstick.

    I make sure none of my products on tested on animals - that's very important for me. My favorites are:

    1. YES to Cucumber face towelettes
    2. Burt's Beeswax mango lip balm
    3. MAC mascara
    4. Giovanni organic Smooth as Silk shampoo and conditioner
    5. Bare Minerals fairly light powder with spf 15
    6. Burt's Beeswax lip shine

    WOW, I didn't know MAC started testing on animals. So sad. This will be my last MAC product until they stop. SMH

    1) Aveeno Positively Radiant daily Moisturizer (with spf) >>>> BEST PRODUCT EVER. Most days I never wear make up and only this

    2) Bert's Bees Natural Acne Spot Treatment- Knocks every break out on its *kitten* without over drying

    3) Basics Cleaner Clean Face Wash

    4)Yes To Blueberries Brightening Face Towelettes- Great for removing makeup!

    5)Nertrogena- Oil Free, Acne Stress Control Facial cleanser/scrub.

    6) I barely use make up, with the help of all the above products, but when i do its... Bare Essentials Mineral Make up. A little goes a long way.

    it makes me so sad when products are tested on animals. thing is, it doesn't always say on packaging.
    it should be the law
