Product rave?

Didn't we used to do these?

Does anyone have a product they want to rave about?  Something you've tried recently that you're really happy with and want to recommend to other people?

Re: Product rave?

  • I've got one.  I've been searching for a face wash to use with my Mia for a while now.  I finally found one that lathers well and feels clean, but doesn't make my skin dry/itchy/tight.

    Decadent stuff, Seahorsey! 
    I agonized over that nail polish because it was stupid expensive.  But it is really great.  I will try to use it tonight to post a picture.

    I've been wearing the YSL eyeliner for a while now, it's about the same price at Tarte and Nars and I think it lasts longer.

    But yes, I have a shopping problem.  I got a large Sephora GC at Christmas.

    This makes me realize how cheap I am. lol The only thing I really splurge on are products from Ponmega5, I love the face mist.

    I prefer "thrifty" but... Yeah! If I were rich... I would still probably have a hard time spending this much on myself.

    I feel you.  I've never heard about most of these.  :)  Probably because I stick to what I know...I've been using Artistry products for my face and most of my skin issues have gone away (it's really the only thing I splurge on consistently).

    It's not a product, but it gave me a product.  DH & I recently used Blurb to make our wedding books for close family.  Making the books was so easy and the books are fabulous!

  • I thought of another one. I bought this hair mask and actually ended up HATING it. I paid $9.99 for it though.

    Recently I started using it instead of shaving cream and love it for that purpose. Maybe I'll buy more to use this way. It lasts WAY longer than the cans of shaving cream.

    I also love love love this product. I am so happy I found it. It smells great and makes my face feel amazing. I normally have that dry itchy tight feeling anytime I wash my face, but this product doesnt send me running for moisturizer as soon as I am done washing. I also use the tinted moisturizer with 15 spf in the mornings. It covers light enough to not need a foundation which I love!
