In reply to Janessa.

Janessa, thanks. The Sunumbra sunscreen is really good, I’m sure you’ll like it too.

I really love Chanel mascaras too. They are so volumizing. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg. But if you want thick, long lashes, they’re worth it. Neutrogena’s cream is pretty good too. Very moisturizing, and a steal at that price. 🙂

I’m going to get SunUmbra next and I’m going to click it through your link. 😀 I am running low on sunscreen.
I love the products you’ve picked. :]
I’ve been using a waterproof mascara that mostly lengthens (MAC Extended Play Gigablack Mascara) and gives me really long lashes and then I add volume, focusing on the outer corners, with Chanel Le Volume. I’ve used Chanel Inimitable waterproof in the cobalt, limited edition blue they had and I LOVED the formula. The next one I’m going to get is probably going to be Inimitable waterproof because it holds a curl so well and I don’t have to buy two mascaras… though I tend to buy more than one anyways hehe… or buy another before I use up my previous ones.

I have dry skin and my lips and hands get chapped so having hand cream with me is really important. I used to LOVE Caudalie’s hand cream which smelled like orange creamsicles but now smells more citrusy and stronger. L’Occitane is alright but I like Neutrogena’s Norweigan formula (inexpensive, too) the best. Kiehl’s is awesome but I wash my hands a lot and for the cost effectiveness, I highly recommend Neutrogena’s. It’s a semi-translucent cream that feels kind of like vaseline but blends and absorbs without being greasy.
As for lips, I like lip butters or just any lip balm.
Since it’s cold out, I really love minty lips as it makes my lips feel cool. (Buxom lip glosses helloo!)

And drier skin in general makes me reapply body butter more than once during the day when I can.

In reply to Ana. Ana, ohhh the joys of winter! It's so awful for skin, isn't it? Glad you found something that helped. A humidifier is a godsend at this time of year indeed.

Cracked skin on hand, itchy legs, dehydrated and flaky face, parched lips…
Petroleum jelly on hand and lips, AHAs on the face and body lotion on legs.

+ We got a humidifier for our home. I think it helps – we don’t wake up with stuffy noses anymore.
