Hello ladies and gents (yes, boys can use products too!),

So as promised, here are some of my product staples!:wub: They are fabulous with a capital F! So the idea is to use this thread to share great product ideas and give product advice! So please, share, share, share! :clap:

For the face:

Product Line: philosophy

1) "purity made simple" - one step facial cleanser that is all natural and great for all skin types. Literally leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean without drying it out.

2) "hope in a tube" - high density eye and lip firming cream. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Your eye and lip creams should be of a different density then your face cream b/c those areas are more sensitive.

3) "when hope is not enough" - facial firming serum with peptides, vitamin c and e, and soy. This is so refreshing and smells really good and, bonus!, it firms the skin! :D

4) "hope in a jar" - face moisturizer for all skin types. This is a high performance moisturizer with antioxidants to help reduce environmental damage WHILE helping with fine lines and wrinkles!

5) "the present" gives you an airbrushed skin look while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and pores. This is a great product if you don't want to wear make-up b/c it gives you an finished, airbrushed look without the need for foundation, etc.....

This is my regimine every morning...i know it sounds like a lot but it literally takes me 5 minutes to do the entire "product process" :D
The first 4 steps can be puchased as a box set for $75 from....wait for it....are you ready?....QVC baby! :blush: This set lasts me 4 months and i have it coming on auto delivery where they send it to you automatically. Step 5 would need to be ordered seperately and is about $25 and 1 tube has lasted me over a year.

One other philosopy step i do once weekly is "the microdelivery peel". there are 2 steps to this process and it only takes minutes but leaves your face (I also do the tops of my hands) feeling as soft as a baby's bum! This peel replenshishes the skin and leaves you with a glow and refreshed appeareance. If you order the above box set, you will get sample packets of these peels that will last you awhile. You can also purchase it seperately. If purchased seperately it runs about $65 and again, will last you months and months.

I also order my foundation from QVC and I swear by it as well......

Product: Bare Escentuals - bare minerals foundation with sunscreen with corresponding brush.

Now you could go crazy with Bare Escentuals, thier whole line is outstanding. The line is all natural and all mineral based, you can even sleep in it and wake up with no dramas! The foundation is my main thing though and one jar of it lasts for at least 3-4 mos. You can get it off QVC for $35 with the brush and then $25 for the refill ongoing.

Whew, and finally my last fave: for the nails!

1) Product Line: Pro Strong Pro-Accelerator Fluoride Nail Strengthener.

use twice daily. I used to have brittle, piddly little pathetic nails. Now if i let them go crazy i could have talons if i wanted them! $18 from, where else,...QVC!

2) Product Line: Sally Hanson 2- in- 1 Nail White Pencil

Activated by water and allows you to whiten your tips for the appearance of a natural "american manicure" naturally. I haven't worn nail polish for years! this can be purchased at any CVS drugstore for $2. Lasts forever......

3) Product: L'Occitane en provence nail and cuticle cream.

Used once daily. moisurizes your nails and cuticles. No more hangnails or yucky cuticles......$18 from QVC!!!!!

Whew, I need a nap now.....

I am still waiting for the product brand, "Expensive," to be released.

"Expensive, you deserve the best."
"Expensive, because you are worth it."
"Expensive, don't let him tell you no."
"Expensive, only the best for you."

Patchouli's carries an even better line of mineral make up by Alison Raffial (Bobbi Brown's former assistant). The minerals go thru extra refinement steps making them even gentler on the skin. Pretty amazing stuff.

Yes, that would be the only down side of BE.. you make a little bit of a mess at first....I have become more skilled with pro-longed use but i still have to wear a napkin bib :funn: It is worth it though....I usually order all my stuff online from QVC. Just go to QVC.com and look under Beauty and then philosophy. It is very secure and I have yet to come across better customer service anywhere. FYI, if you do purchase "the present", a little bit goes a long way. A pea size amt. works wonders and i only recommend it for uneven areas of color, problem areas, etc.. probably don't want to use it over the entire face, but play with it and see what works best for you...:wave:

I used to use BE until I discovered an "off brand" that is half the price of BE. I is the same mineral makeup in my opinion. It is great. Here is the website. Mineral Basics. Avon's Dramatic Firming Cream is my "little secret" that I love!!!!
