Is it bad that I never ever remember to use body lotion? I will occasionally on my legs and arms. I will probably look like a leathery old bat when I am old.

 

[DancingSweetie]

I don't use lotion either, I guess I should start.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

I quit washing my face with anything other than plain water because of the Lounge, and now at age 45 I finally almost stopped having pimples!
Sunblock SPF 60 even when it rains
Pit juice
Body wash
Leave-in conditioner
Vitamin E oil on the wrinkles
Eye-area-skin cream
Other stuff including bod lotion is hit or miss
From biker days, I have been in the habit of carrying a toothbrush with me so that's a given.
Same with lip balm.
My hair takes hours to dry so wash and deep conditioner every other day or 3.

Yes, I realize that I have a problem (besides being late to work).

I have been working on cutting back my routine. I actually used to wear a lot more makeup and hair products. I recently gave a supermarket sized bag of stuff to my friend's girlfriend without making a dent in my stash. Using cheaper stuff is a problem though.

Now that I have used the "Neiman Marcus" stuff, it is really hard to use the dimestore stuff. It really does have a better texture and scent, even if it isn't that much more effective. However, I am concerned that I am using too much and that the chemicals aren't good for me. I am trying to become an "unwashed hippy" so to speak and use more natural products.

Well I am trying, not necessarily succeeding. lol lol

May I offer two suggestions:

Carmex lip balm. This is the best stuff I've ever tried, and it's only about $1.29 per tube. But they don't sell it everywhere in the tube; you might have to get it in a little pocket-size jar.

Ulta: it's like a cosmetics supermarket. They send coupons regularly and give you points when you use your card, and the prices are much lower than Walgreens. (They also have some higher end stuff.) I don't know if there is an Ulta store in your area, though.

Me and you both! I only remember about twice a week and then only on my lower legs because they get so dry. And I know all that decollete stuff, but I never manage to get the moisturiser past the collar bone! So no more off the shoulder evening gowns for me. lol. And I just realised I never listed deodorant. I could pretend I do, but I don't, except if I'm going to a really heavy meeting - then I get through a bottle per arm! No wonder I only relate to people online.

As far as make up goes--on a daily basis I keep it pretty mellow:

I'm a product junkie as well. I had gone to only using cold cream and witch hazel, and Nivea cream on my face, but after a visit to my esthetician for a facial and a not-so-glowing report, I'm back to using other products. I still use cold cream for makeup removal, but as an all-encompassing product, it wasn't cutting it for me - and the Nivea doesn't penetrate the skin to really benefit it. My skin was craving moisture and more exfoliation, and I really needed to start thinking about some anti-aging. So, I'm back to Olay Regenerist.

Most of what you all have written, I use. I really do think I go through way too much products. CVS pharamcy loves my wallet! I can't imagine what the total would look like if I added up the cost of all these products purchased in one year. For some reason I'm never satisfied with just one of a certain product. I need at least two from different brands. Their is no method to which one of these products I'll use on any given day. I just have to make sure that I'm fully stocked up, just in case I just might need something!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Oh I hate to run out of anything, too. I own a lot of junk, just don't use it everyday. Shelves full of stuff. Makes me feel so rich and powerful.

 

[Polka Dot]

On a daily basis I'm relatively low maintenance; if I'm going out this list can lengthen considerably.

Morning:
Shampoo
Conditioner (every few days)
Body wash (preferably fragrance- and dye-free)
Toothpaste
Body lotion
Deodorant
Face moisturizer/sunscreen
Volumizing spray

If using make-up, then:
Under-eye concealer
Pressed powder
Mascara
Lip balm
Perfume (sometimes)

Night:
Sulfur face wash
Face moisturizer (no SPF)
Toothpaste
Floss

Scary. I never really thought of how much I use per day until counting it all up in my head! It's amazing to me the difference it takes between us ladies getting all ready and the men. My husband just needs to rub in some gel into his hair and he's good to go...with me, well, it takes a bit more than that!

 

[jitterbugdoll]

I'm going to add my makeup list

Foundation primer (sometimes)
Foundation (I have tried probably 30 brands and types in the quest for the perfect one)
Powder
Blush
Eye shadow (I have about 20 shades ranging from neutral to more dramatic)
Eye liner (I have pencils, gels, and liquid versions to choose from)
Lash primer
Mascara
Brow pencil
Lip liner
Lipstick (I have about 20 shades of red)
