BU: skin product rave

I'm so thrilled with this skincare line I need to spread the word.

Plus, I want to show off the new blog design.

I use Clinique make up, but have never got around to trying the skincare. It is good to hear from a real person how great it is. If you still like it in a few weeks, I might have to go out and get myself some!

This is my first time with any of their skincare lines. I've tried Mary Kay, Arbonne, drugstore stuff, so this was the next step. I purchased a good deal of their makeup for my wedding, and it's lasted for a decent amount of time already that I haven't had to buy any makeup for four months, which is impressive for me since I run through most makeup like crazy. I can't believe how excited I am by this.

I will keep you updated on it!

What did you use in the Mary Kay line? That is what I am using now and have been for a few months. I have the Time-Wise stuff, and I am just not sure how I feel about it.

super cute blog layout! who did it for you?

For moisturizer i recommend Lush's Celestial: not oily and for sensitive skin so you are less likely to break out.

I LOVED my MK stuff when I first got in 2006 - I noticed a huge difference. I think I started buying the wrong product for my skin though...  But I used the Timewise Cleanser, Moisturizer, and eye cream and tried out my friend's microderm set (I still might get that at some point.).

For makeup I still use the eye primer and ultimate mascara (though I've given that the shove for DiorShow). I used their eyeshadow, blush, eyeliner, and undereye concealer, though I never got into the foundation.

Thanks MsWildcat! I did my header but got the layout from one of those layout sites of which I can't remember the name (and removed their corner banner). 

Thanks for the moisturizer rec. I'll soon be in the market for another one when my Arbonne runs out.  I have three in my current rotation -- a generic Target one I purchased for DH, my MK, and Arbonne's fc5 night cream that I love because it smells amazing.

Glad you found something you love.  I used to use their make-up remover and eyeliner, but then I just got bored or something.  I use L'Occitane now for my skincare and love it. The moisturizer is to die for - my face feels so happy when I put it on.

 Where do you buy L'Occitane?

They have independent stores, but their line is also sold in Sephora.  Its back with the all-natural products.

I'm on Day 3 of my Clinique Acne Solutions trial. I've tried more intensive skincare routines in the past (including derm prescribed methods) and they've always dried me out, so I was certain that this would too. So far (though it's only been 5 cleanings), I'm not dry at all... my skin isn't even tight! I'm loving this stuff so far. We'll see how well my skin does in the weeks to come, but I have a feeling I'll be a new follower.
