PSP's Favorite Beauty Products

First of all, for an update on PSP's life please see my previous post (comments are ALWAYS welcome). But I thought I would try something I have never done before and I thought it might be a good idea to post about some of my favorite beauty products.

1)OPI nail polish in Russian Navy. I love how chic this color looks on it is super dark without being black and is sparkly as well
2) I am obsessed with TIGI hard head hairspray. My hair stayed curly through an entire football game and is BABY FINE and typically cannot hold curl so this stuff really works. Also it does not have a superstrong odor.
3) I love face primers because they help to make sure that my makeup goes on smooth and they also help to make sure that my makeup stayes out of my pores. I was using smashbox but it turns out that I like the Studio Gear face primer better because it seems less greasy on my skin I also think it really helps me keep my makeup on.
4) I am in love with the John Freida Weather Works line as I mentioned my hair is superfine so I have to be so careful that the products that I use to not weight it down and that they are not greasy either because I have oily sensitive hair. I love the weather proofing style sealing cream as well as the weather proofing daily conditioner. This stuff really helps with frizz and flyways.

5) This is my FAVORITE product on this list and is also the cheapest. On a whim I decided to buy Maybelline the Colossal mascara because I did not like the covergirl mascara my mom bought (the orange one) and I have NEVER regretted it. People ask me all the time if I use latisse. I included a picture where I am wearing NOTHING but this mascara. You can click to enlarge to see my lashes in more detail. I highly recommend this product and might even give some away soon, I cannot say enough how wonderful it is it is so much better than some of the department store brands I have used in the past.
6) Olay Daily Thermal Mini Peel I bought this product on a whim because I am 20 but due to stress and sun damage I am concerned about wrinkles and I still have acne but am super allergic to salylic acid so I though I would try this product and I love it I don't use it everyday but I love that it contains glycolic acid. It leaves my face SO smooth and helps clear up my acne. It is a little pricy at around $20 but it last forever and really works. I use a face lotion with SPF and glycolic acid as well.
What are some of y'alls favorite products/ do you have any recommendations for me?

Blackeyed_Susan said...

What a great list! Thank you for sharing! I tried a navy polish in a different brand and wasn't too thrilled with the look. It was more black and you couldn't even see the navy. I want to try OPI's now!

MWK said...

Love,the polish and I'm so going to have to buy the mascara. I'm really obsessed with my philosophy lip gloss- who would think philosophy did lip gloss? But it's perfect!

Allyson and Dave said...

I love the weather works hair products too!! I just tried it for the first time a few weeks ago.

CarolinaPrep said...

I have thick hair but it can't hold curl to save my life so I'm gonna have to try that hair spray! My fave product right now has to be my Clinique concealer. It hides all my stress-induced breakouts!

Southern Living: Preppy Style said...

fantastic post. I'm going to have to try the face primer stuff.

Brown Eyed Belle said...

Shut up! I am obsessed with Colossal Mascara. Like, seriously, over-the-top about it!

Rachel said...

Grace said...

I'm so going to try that mascara-I agree that covergirl is just overrated.

Love the nail polish, and will have to try it! Do you use the Oil of Olay at night? My face gets so dry as we get colder weather! Great list!

mWm said...

I am gonna look for this polish at my mani/pedi today!! Been looking for something a lil different from Vamp and Lincoln Park After Dark!

Sarah Wyland said...

I still say John Frieda lies!

Polka Dots & Protein Bars said...

Love the OPI and that mascara is a new favorite of mine too!

Amanda Auchter said...

Origins Matte Scientist is amazing, especially for someone living in the south where the humidity is a killer! I also LOVE MAC lip glosses, MAC blot powder, and Clinique turnaround instand facial mask. The OPI nail polish is fantastic!

Ann said...

Holy MOTHERLOAD of mascaras!!! Okay, I've been switching for years btwn an Almay and L'oreal mascara and was really liking them...saw your post and was all, hmm, she's rockin' some nice lashes there, so why not?

Bought the Colossal yesterday - just tried it - LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Thank you, girl!

And, btw, I have been using Latisse for 2 mths and it freakin also ROCKS. Both me (nurse) and my sister (a physician) get it from overseas - it's the generic Bimatoprost (this is what Latisse *is*) - and it's $10 a bottle. You can read more about that whole thing at realself.com - there are threads over there about the generic, I can't seem to paste them in, but you can search over there, or email me. :)

Great list! Bed Head is the best and I love John Frieda because it helps with frizzy hair! Haven't tried the Colossal mascara yet but I want to try it now that I've seen how great it looks on your lashes! I am really loving the Stiletto mascara right now. As for the other skincare stuff, I can't comment on those because I don't use skincare bought in the store. I use Aloette and it's AMAZING!

Oh yeah, I gave you an award over at my blog!

The Colossal Lash mascara is seriously my favorite ever - it's 50x better than any expensive product I've ever used. For face products I love Bliss' Youth as We Know It line, but lately I've been on more of a budget and fallen in love with Pond's Face Cream - yes, old lady status. For hair I love Silking Serum and Pumpkin Shampoo, and for all over anything that smells like vanilla or pumpkins from Bath and Body Works.
