it did! we’re having a dsscuision about organic, natural products and that’s my two cents. sadly enough, adult or not, most people are not even aware of the fact that organic and natural mean pretty much nothing when it comes to beauty products. and reading labels and actually researching the ingredients is something not many people bother doing (look how many posts on here have had glowing reviews about Rodin Olio Lusso being this amazing all natural oil product, and it contains benzyl benzoate and linalool).

I cannot go without wearing BB Cream everyday because my skin benefits from it in so many ways! It keeps my face hydrated and covers my blemishes and protects it from harmful sun rays! Its nice to only have to use one product that also provides many benefits since I am always in a rush for doing my Holiday errands!

I bought maasrca at Target the other day…don’t judge me…I don’t normally shop for maasrca there but I was desparate. I bought some Revlon…mostly because the brush was pretty cool and I was hoping for big things. Wrong-O! The maasrca was gross and clumpy and flaky. I sure wish I had a Sephora to check out some non-yuck maasrca.

Been using Maybelines Great Lash mascara since I started wearing make-up at 14. I’ve used other mascaras just to end up disappointed and wasting my money. Every time I’ve used another mascara I’ve regretted it Abd go right back to my great lash,People have always commented on how long my eye lashes are
Great Lash Rocks!!! I’m now 49. Used great lash for 35 years…..:)

My number one beauty product, that i’ve relied on for years, is Maybelline’s Dream Matte Powder. It combats any shine, perfectly sets my makeup, and still leaves my skin looking natural!

The number one product I rely on to stay beautiful throughout this freezing season is MY Number 1 Maybelline Define A Line Eye Liner! It’s the best eye liner I have ever had! Makes the perfect winged cat line and I use it on a extremely frequent basis (which makes me constantly buy a new one). I can’t leave my house without no matter what. Makes me appreciate that the price is as affordable as can be.

BB Cream! Keeps your skin looking radiant, even if you don’t have time to apply a full face of make up!

I would rely on the Skin renew cream most definitely. I need to keep my face as smooth and healthy as possible to make sure that I don’t forget what natural beauty looks like when I’m rushing in the morning. My 3 L’s are Lips,Liner,and Lashes. That’s all my makeup routine would consist of on busy days and with my skin renew I will make sure my skin looks as flawless as the foundation I use.

This is hard to choose… but I would have to choose Garnier’s BB Cream. Why? Because it moisturizes my dry skin and helps it look radiant.
The Maybelline mascara would be the runner up… who doesn’t love long bold lashes?!?
Konda

hmm, I need so much more extreme cisanelng because of the amount of makeup because of my less than perfect skin .. So I wonder if I wore less would my skin be better and require only a simple routine as this beautiful girl’s?Or is there an age past which your skin just doesn’t look so even and gorgeous anymore??
