Oh and be sure to store your make-up stock in a cool dry place…so don’t keep your extra in the bathroom.

@Summer
The make-up is good for 3 years. the Px website has information about their custom blend make-ups. The dept store counters close on 1/31 so you can still get your custom blend “recipe” to order online. Good luck.

Pevonia does a good drying lotion too. The trick in all these good drying lotions? Sulfur! No joke… it’s not benzoyl peroxide or salycylic acid. It’s sulfur that makes a quick job of zapping zits.

Love body scrubs. Will have to try me!. Going to beautyfix now… have held off on joining but maybe will give it a go… xx

wait. WHAT?! Prescriptives is no more. I think I just stopped breathing. I LIVE by their custom blend liquid foundation. It’s like my second skin. Soooo many compliments. NOOOOOOO!

How long is make-up good for if I stock up???

juice beauty’s green apple peel is a wonderful once-a-week treat. i use it on my sunday night beauty binge, when i pluck, tweeze, exfoliate, scrub, polish and buff my way to beautiful. i slather it on and leave it while i do my toes…

clinique’s turnaround concentrate is an absolute skin miracle. after 3 days even the most stubborn dark spots start to fade, and it evens the complexion amazingly.

fresh Soy Face Cleanser is another treat. it’s expensive but the tube is giant so the stuff lasts forever. a great non soap cleanser that gets even the toughest makeups without stripping.

shiseido cotton pads. they’re eight bucks a package (when regulare ol’ cotton rounds are 1/5 the price) but these are sooo soft and don’t have the occasional sharp edges that i find the rounds do. and i find that, the way they’re made leaves less fluffy residue on the face, and cleans away more dirt.

(funny, i just noticed that all of the products i recommended are pricey… but my resolution to myself this year was to be good to my skin and not skimp when i know that certain certain, albeit more expensive products work for me.)

FYI, Prescriptives is on sale at most department stores. Macy’s has Px for 30%. Last I checked, Nordstrom was full price but the stores will match prices with a competitor at the same mall and online will match prices of an online retailer. Last week dillards.com and belk.com had Px on sale.

I still need to get my oil-control moisturizer but I bought 3 mineral powders and 3 liquid mineral foundations. I don’t think I’ll ever be “whole” cosmetically until I find a suitable replacement

Honestly, my favorite products right now are:
Camellia Rose – Calming Cleanser (which is like Lush’s Angels on Bare Skin, only it doesn’t reek of lavender, this and the Lush version calms my sensitive skn).
The Body Shop – Vitamin C Skin Boost (this makes my skin look so healthy and smooth)
The Body Shop – Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment (this is a nice treatment at night that seems to balance my skin).

I love love Mario Badescu’s line as a whole I have been using it off and on for over 2 1/2 years- the drying lotion is the truth in a bottle- works everytime. They also have rose water and aloe facial spray that i use right before i put on my bronzer it freshens up my skin. I think i want to try that volcanic ash exfoliator it seems to be good stuff i’ve read reviews-thanks for the tip!
