These are some products that I absolutely love - after searching high and low, these are my 2002 picks.

- MAC eyeshadow and eyeshadow creme base
- Max Factor Lipfinity (lipstick that stays on!!!)
- Bumble and Bumble hair products
- Burts Bees Acne spot treatment and tomato soap bar
- Avon's ANew face cream (Awesome stuff)
- Queen Helene Mint Julip Masque
- Derma Sponge (home microdermabrasion kit)

Please share some products you found this year that you CAN'T live without ;-)

I am still searching for the perfect products, but here are the few that I've found so far:

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation
Loreal Lash Out Mascara
Avon Lip Plumping Lipstick

I just started using Avon Anew a few weeks ago...which products are you using? I'm using the RetroActive creme, the RectroActive Eye Serum, and The RetroActive Body Lotion (I love the body lotion! No more scaly arms!). I have acne prone skin so I'm still undecided about the Anew face products as I've had some pretty bad breakouts since I started using them.

If you are acne prone - you have to try the Burts Bees products. They absolutely rule.

I'm using the Avon Anew face cream that comes in a jar that costs about $30. I haven't experienced any breakouts because of it (thank goodness)! My skin even breaks out if you look at it wrong ;-) hehehe

thanks for sharing.

Is it the Anew Ultimate?

Where do we find the derma sponge? About how much does it cost?....Thanks!

Sorry - I found the name ;-) It's Avon, Anew Ultimate skin transferring cream. The price is $30.00 The cream is thick, and not alot is needed, so I anticipate my jar going a long way. If you go to the avon website, and look under their anti-aging products, it will have some info for you ;-)

If you do a search for dermasponge (type all together) it will come up. I think I paid around $70. It has 6 sponges and you do a sponge once every 2 weeks. You can read the post on the Acne board for some more specifics (home microdermabrasion topic)

I'll be glad to help or answer any questions...

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time, money or energy to waste on styling my hair. But, of course I care about how it looks. Luckily, I’ve recently found a gel that does the job of about 3 different products. It’s called Dep Texturizing Gel. With this one product, I can achieve a piecy look one day, bed-head the next, and slicked back on days when I want a sexy yet sophisticated look or if I’m just being lazy! =) What’s also great about it is that it washes out easily and clean, so my hair doesn’t get that dried-out, gunky look caused by build up from the pomade, silicone and hair spray that I would normally use. Because it’s both a texturizer and a gel, it gives me texture, definition and hold all in one so I don’t need those other products. I’ve had so many compliments on my hair since I found Dep, I love it! Best of all, I bought a 12 oz. bottle for only $2.99 at Ralph’s! I think the hair gods are finally looking down on me!

i love STILA eye shadows
