What is your favourite product?

I love products, creams, lotions, hair product....

So what is your favourite item? How much does it cost? Do you use it sparingly or do you dive in & use it like it grows on trees?



My FAVOURITE product in the world is "Be Curly" from Aveda. I can't afford it, in Australia its like $45 a tube... my mum buys it for me for Christmas & birthdays and buys like 3 at a time (they are $15 in the US) then posts them to me. I use the first two like it grows on trees & the the last one I use like its liquid gold. I love the stuff & have bought heaps of different curly hair products & haven't found any that match it.

I love Jurlique Day Cream. It's soooo nice and I have used it for years. It lasts forever and smells divine as a bonus!

Australis bronzing powder!! about $12 and worth its weight in gold.. the ultimate pick me up!!!

i love my hair shiner. just few pumps and my hair is all shiny and glistening!!!!

body shop hemp face & hand protectors ...

they are soooo good but the packing isnt so pretty :(

I cannot live without:

JURLIQUE CALENDULA CREAM

This stuff is amazing, i use it for a face moisturiser, for healing burns/wounds/bites, on my nails, on DS butt for nappy rash.... its literally a miracle product! It costs $60 for a 125 ml tube which lasts me at least 6 months.

ooh I love the Jurlique calendula cream too... and also their Viola cream. Both are as miraculous as each other!!

I also really love the Vitamin hair masque from Alchemy or Akin... can bever remember which one it is.

Oh yes the calendula cream is divine too. I am a bit of a jUrlique lover. I try something else now and then but always return... They say Nicole Kidman uses it - can you tell me why then I don't look like HER???

I love my vanilla perfumed oil from The Body Shop, I have been wearing it for nearly 12 years now, I think I'll nearly die if they ever stop making it. I don't use a lot of other products, but one I got for my skin for this pg is Vitamin E night cream from The Body Shop - Had really dry skin at the start and this has worked wonders on it.

For me anything from the body shop! Love their cocoa body butter and peppermint foot scrub and peppermint foot cream, it makes me feel like a million bucks lol My only problem is it all cost so much but definately worth it once every 5 years ;)

Niass i try to pick up the calendula cream on ebay cheaper if i can. I recently got a 40 ml tube for $20 odd dollars and that works out a cheap way to try it if you dont want to invest in a large size. You will be pleased though!

ohhhh calendula cream eh? (puts on list to get ;))

Sherie I used the body shop vitamen E cream too and love it. I also have a scent from there which I can't remember the name of...

i love clinique take the day off- it's the best make up remover ever and i've been using it non stop for years

St Tropez Mousse self tanner. You can look like death warmed up some days, but add a bit of colour to your face, chest and arms and seriously you have a glow. Use it Summer, autumn, winter and spring....my lifesaver.

76stars, i have been looking for a good bronzer powder, so you recommend Australis brand? where do you get them from? Target or Kmart?? :) I'm going to get one!

my favourite product would be my lipgloss!! cant remember the brand i think its maybelline

Any L'Occitane product. My all time favourite is L'Occitane's Delicous Paste (Almond scrub)... it makes me feel human every night after a days worth of filthy nappy changing etc. It costs about $55 for a large jar.... will probably last me about 4/5 months. I also love their Vervaine range... they are also a very ethical company which is important to me.

Yeah, thanks 76stars for the Australis bronzer hot tip!

Renstar, I think Kmart, Target and Priceline all have Australis and their lip gloss is good too!

I love using Ella Bache products. (When I can afford it!)

L'Oreal Glamshine Lipgloss in Goddess!!! I loooooove it!!!
It make my lips look awesome, and even makes my teeth look whiter... Can't get better than that if you ask me ;)

My MAC and napolean eyeshadows, the brighter and tackier the better.
Olay total effects moisterisour..Makes me skin feel lushious and soft
Rimmel Liquid eyeliner, I swear this is my most favourite thing in my bathroom. (apart from my Hello Kitty shower radio of course :lol:)
Passionfruit shower gel from The Body Shop is also a fave, I often get strawberry one aswell... YUM.

Olay total effects moisturiser, The Body Shop coconut body butter and Dove soap. And mascara, that is my one must have beauty item.

i love my eyelash curler as well, it's the best tool ever

I have feral acne prone skins so love my medical grade cosmedix range of cosmetics.....alll natural chirally corrected and no SLS or stuff......It is the only stuff that has ever worked on my skin including jurlique and all that stuff. Tis a bit pricey though but have just found a ebay lady who does them..YAY for me!!

I'm a big fan of Benefit and my fav is Honey...snap out of it! scrub.
I have combination skin and have a shocking t zone but this stuff is great because it scrubs the blocked pores without over doing it and making it worse if that makes any sense.

My next fav product is the Brow-zings kit. I like my brows to be neat rofl!

OMG Christy - I am an AVEDA addict too. I can't get enough of the stuff. It's so expensive but can't help myself. A handful of indulgent times before I moved from Sydney, I have gone into the Syd Darlinghurst AVEDA day spa and just gone to heaven.

I also like L'Occitane

Perennial favourite is the Lancome Juicy Tube, in whatever trio is going at Duty Free!
Other than that, I still have some of my Never a Dull Moment from Origins that I bought when I used to work there (in 2000! I'm sure it's officially out of date, but it still works and smells the same). An absolute MUST HAVE for those whose skins aren't sensitive to it. Divine. Yummy. And you don't need much of it at a time, and I would only recommend using it about 2 or three times a week to avoid over-exfoliation. (still have mine cos I forget to use it these days...you know, teeth and skin taking a back seat since DS was born!)
Also, Origins Salt Rub in Ginger. Nothing is more delicious to rub over your body for a good exfoliation and moisturise (with the macadamia nut oil in it).
ATM I'm into creating my own aromatherapy blends, though, using vegetable, unscented base products, with a view to making my own bases one day.

I would have to say Dove Summer Glow - 400ml bottle is about $10.99.
Since working at Pricline I have heaps of fav's but I would save the Summer glow is the best.
I save time now on foundation as I put this on my face too and have no need to use foundation any more.

Not really a product, but my favourite thing that I put on my skin is Anais Anais perfume by Cacharel. I love it. I've been wearing it since I was about 15 years old.

Aside from that, I'd have to say my Perfect Potion double cream vanilla moisturiser - yummmm - I have to stop myself eating it, it smells so good.

Oooh, Perfect Potion! I love their stuff!
My favourite eye gel is from a Taswegian company called Essentially Me. Great to apply if you've spent an evening crying (a must if you are grieving)...takes the puff and sting out of the next morning. And it's nice and natural.

LOL my first boyfriend gave me a bottle of Anais Anais.... back in the late 80s. I can't remember the fragrance now. I couldn't afford another bottle so discovered The BodyShop's DewBerry and vanilla fragrances, a bargain at $10 a bottle. These days I wear Shalimar by Guerlain or just an essential oil.... oh and Clinique's "Happy".... oh and Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent when I can get duty free.

ETA: I think this is worthy of it's own thread!
