Beauty products - 03-24-05

I NEED my Roc cleanser, toner and moisturiser.

I can live with any face scrub as long as it's not TOO abrasive, Oil of Ulay Daily Renewal is quite nice.

Anyone use those cloth face-masks? I forget who makes them now, I'll try find out later or get a link. They do one with dead-sea minerals which can be a tingly on your skin, but after you take it off, your skin feels amazingly clean and refreshed.

Please feel free to add any recommendations - links etc.

You spend money on that Roc stuff?! Man, it's so expensive!

I have St Ives Apricot Face Scrub for the morning, Biactol gel wash for the evening, Body Shop Eye make-up remover gel, Oil of Ulay and Simple moisturisers.
I'm lazy with my beauty stuff, I truly cannot be arsed to pay special attention to my skin/hair/insides.

I think if you eat right and drink enough water and take your make-up off then you don't need anything special.
I subsist on brown sauce sandwiches, skittles, Rice Crispies and Dr Pepper

LOL -yea, it is expensive, but I save up for it and it does actually seem to last longer than other brands I've used. I'm getting old you know!! desperate times call for desperate measures!

I love St Ives Apricot scrub too, it smells gorgeous and really does make your skin feel soft and smoothe.

You're right about diet of course, beauty does come foremost from the inside, however, as I eat a load of crap, I need all the help I can get!!

Do you manage to drink the recommended 2 litres (is it?) of water a day? if so, how? Cos I certainly don't.

I've used the cloth ones before, I didn't like them though. They didn't soap up too well, and the perfume they put on them was a bit stinky. :p

oo - I like the way they smell. The peppermint and tea-tree one is lovely. I wonder if you used a different make to the one's I use?

Must post what make they are when I get home.

I like those gel masks that dry on your face then you peel them off, they feel cool

I love those too, there's something deeply satisfying about the feeling of peeling of your skin...

Anyhoo - here's the a link to the company who's 'cloth' face packs I was on about. Turns out they are 'face tonics' rahter than packs.

Hehe, I only save up a little at a time so I can afford a bit of a luxury now and then! I'm not completely frivoulous!

Roc face products cost around £25 per product and they last at least 3 months so it doesn't work out too bad really.

It does! My stuff lasts that long at about, ooh say £4 a product. I'm a cheap skeez
All you need Mia is an SPF moisturiser, that'll ward off the wrinkles.
I drink water like a fish, 2 pints in the morning, a litre at college, and then maybe another pint in the evening, so I'm way up on my amounts. It's just a habit I've got into because I have endless thirst. Therefore I'm always dashing off to the toilet too, which is why I need to get some skirts because buttons and zip flys are too fiddly when you're desperate.
I'm so ladylike.

Haha! what can I say - I'm a sucker for advertising slogans, and at the minute Roc makes you look 10 years younger, guaranteed. Yea right... On the plus side it does have SPF in it too, as does my foundation (Clinique - yea yea, I know).

I just find water so.. boring, I really must drink more. Does adding juice to it make it any less beneficial do you know? I could drink Robinsons Cherry all day.

As long as the squash is low-sugar or sugar-free then it's no harm, because you only use a bit.

My powder foundation cost £2 (boots advantage card, god bless).
I did buy nail vanish for a fiver the other day, but it was the only brand that did the right shade.

Yea - Robinsons Special R is sugar free - wee, solution!

I used to swear by Constance Carrol face powder... I can't believe I just admitted to that. It was the only one white enough for the look I was going for at the time, hehe.

Now nail varnish is not something I spend a lot of money on, it seems no matter what brand I buy it's chipped within a day. As long as it's the right colour, that's what's important.

I paint my toenails in the summer, when my feet spend 90% of the time bare or in flipflops, they have to be presentable. The colour is a candy pink, it's really sexy, I have a lipgloss in the same shade.

I like to paint my toes the same colour as my nails too. In my opnion it's a crime to mix and match your fingers and toes - I mean... what if you got run over?? and even worse than that would be if I was wearing different coloured knickers and bra.

We're such girls aren't we? haha!

Haha!! I'll forgive you but only if you don't match cos you're wearing different coloured tops to bottoms. i.e. black bottoms, white top. A black bra under a white top is soooo wrong.
