Shampoo: My favorite is TIGI stuff but it’s kind of expensive so I’ll also use Herbal Essence Break’s Over and Dove products
Conditioner: Same as shampoo and I also like the Pantene Therapy deep conditioning stuff.
Hair Products: I get Japanese hair straightening so I don’t need any hair products generally. I do like Back to Basics setting spray for when I use rollers though.
Moisturizer: So I don’t look too pale I use Jergens Natural Glow once a day. For going out I use Jergens shimmer. For just regular moisturizer I use Playtex baby stuff b/c it smells good and is mild.
Facial Care: I am lucky to have good skin and not need much of anything. I use Aveeno facial soap every night and that’s it. It’s great soap, not drying or greasy.
Eye Makeup: For mascara I use anything randomly that’s black and looks cool. Eyeliner I use Rimmel sharpening crayon but I would love to switch if anyone knows a brand that is less smudgy. Eyeshadow I have like a million of, no real favorites.
Face Makeup: I don’t use foundation and just use Cover Girl AquaSmooth as coverup if necessary. For blush I love Lancome and for bronzer Prescriptives new one.
Lips: Prescriptives lip glosses and Aveda lip tints
Razor: I love Schick Intution, wont use anything else.
Toothpaste: Whatever is cheap
Deodorant: Degree or Dove ultra clear
Bodywash: Adidas for women is my favorite cheapy and Vitabath my favorite expensive one. I also like Jessica Simpson’s Dessert and Philosophy and I also buy Old Spice and Dial
Other: Chi hair straightener for touch ups!

I am not brand loyal on any of these other than using Ponds on my face. There are certain products that I will avoid but I love trying out new ones.

As the other poster said, to me I feel that it is perhaps more important to take care of what we put into our bodies and how we take care of ourselves and be consistent about that.

I am going to try out some of the things that have been mentioned in this thread. It is fun to try out new things!

Shampoo: I try different stuff all the time - I see Target is now carrying some of the Philosophy products and I would like to try them, but they are a bit expensive.
Conditioner: I try different stuff all the time
Hair Products: I try different stuff all the time
Moisturizer: Olay Complete All Day Moisture Cream for Sensitive Skin in the cooler, drier months and Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin in the warmer, humid months
Facial Care: Olay Daily Facials Lathering Cleansing Cloths
Eye Makeup: don't use too often - don't even know what brands I have - as far as mascarra goes, when I wear it, it has to be Brown/Black and Waterproof
Face Makeup: Cover Girl Fresh Complexion Pocket Powder (it doubles as a foundation and powder)
Lips: Badger Lavender & Orange Lip Balm and, for color, Max Factor LipFinity
Razor: Schick Intuition - I got this as a freebie last year and I'm hooked. This razor has been such a time saver since I had my DD last year! Love it! I even e-mailed Schick to tell them how much I love this razor and they sent me a bunch of coupons.

Deodorant: Lady Speedstick
Bodywash: I'm using Bath & Body Works Creamy Body Wash right now. Basically, I'll use anything, as long as it's not fruit scented.

I'm always getting body wash and shower gel as gifts though, so I never have to buy my own.
Other: Curel Lotion

I love this and could never go back to mascara. I swim a lot and mascara was a constant hassle but without it my blonde lashes are invisible. Now it takes 15 minutes every 4-6 weeks and looks so natural.

This explains the dye and is the best place to get it. Very good company about $18.50 no shipping. The blue-black gives a really pretty color – just glossier than black and everyone’s favorite. The kit lasts several months to a year so actually is a good buy.

1000 HOUR Lash Colour - Blue-Black - Strand Arcade Pharmacy Online | 5-HTP | Nurofen Plus | D-Mannose

SWISS O PAR is also very good but be sure to get black for lashes as the brown is very very light. Just run a search on Swiss O Par on Ebay. Right now there is one for $10.50 + shipping and the seller is very good.

These are the only two that I know work and are absolutely safe. If you get these in your eyes it will sting like crazy but will not damage your eyes. Stay away from American brands – waste of money and never ever use regular hair dye. The first time you do it you will feel like a complete klutz, but it gets easy. Be sure to protect your nails either with gloves or polish. I got it on a nail and it was black forever - nothing took it off.

It works best to do top lashes first, finish and then do the bottoms and keep Vaseline on the skin around your eyes to make clean up easier. Sounds like a hassle but it really isn’t.
