Beauty Tag

I saw this tag being passed around and thought it would be fun to share it.  You can join it too by answering in the comment box below or share some of your favorite products.  I listed a few of the products I am currently using because if I tried to list all of the products I use it would be a book--a very thick one :()  I often rotate products especially my shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to avoid product buildup.  Below I have listed what's in rotation right now.  If you have any questions, suggestions or faves, please share.....

Shampoo: Aveda Shampure, Aveda Rosemary Mint--I love the way it makes my scalp tingle! Nexxus Therappe

Conditioner: Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner, Nexxus Humectress, Elasta QP DPR-11, Nexxus Keraphix

Styling products: Aveda's Brilliant Humectant Pomade (WhenWorn Curly), Aveda's Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade
(When Worn Straight)

Shower Gel: I am currently loving Lush's Honey I Washed the Kids and their Rock Star Soaps

Body moisturizer: Pure Olive Oil ( It really soothes my dry skin!)

Deodorant: Pure & Natural  Crystal Deodorant Stone (It doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, oils, perfumes, or emulsifiers and it really works for me.)

Fake Tan: I am blessed with a natural tan.

Cleanser: Acne Clearing Facial Wash by Belli (Yes, it retails at $22.00 but a little goes a long way!), Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser by Estee Lauder

Exfoliator: Estee Lauder's Idealist Dual Action Refinishing Treatment or So Polished by Estee Lauder

Bronzer: Studio Fix in NW 50 by M.A.C

Highlighter: Mineralize Skinfinish (a.k.a. MSF) by M.A.C in So Ceylon--it's discontinued :(  I alternate with another MSF by M.A.C in Warm Blend--this one is just as pretty, if not prettier.  Because I love the way peach and corals complement brown skin, I use The Balm's all-in-one shadow and blush in Hot Mama--it's so pretty with just the right amount of shimmer! 

Eye Shadow Base: Paint pots by M.A.C, Shadesticks by M.A.C, Paints by M.A.C, Jumbo Eye Pencils by Nyx in Milk

Eye Shadows: All That Glitters by M.A.C., Deep Damson by M.A.C Pro, Swiss Chocolate by M.A.C, and etc.  This list could go on and on, but the aforementioned are staples.  My favorite shadow right now is Vibrant Grape by M.A.C

Eye Liner: Blacktrack Fluidline by M.A.C and PowerPoint Eye Pencil in Engraved by M.A.C--it's waterproof and smudge proof!

Curler: N/A--I have naturally curled lashes. Sometimes I've wished for a  gadget to uncurl my lashes and my brows!

Mascara: Lash Blast by Covergirl in Very Black

Lipstick: TruShine Lip Colour in Cinnamon Shine by Covergirl, Cherish Lipstick by M.A.C, and for fall I will be rocking Full Body Lipstick by M.A.C 

Lipgloss: Clear Lipglass by M.A.C, and all Dazzleglasses by M.A.C of course
