Digging up an old thread....

Cheri, back to your original question about the t-zone shine...I just started using Arbonne's pressed powder and love it. I used to get a shiny forehead as well, but with the Arbonne powder I just have to apply it once and I'm set for the rest of the day. The pressed powder has good coverage, so I don't wear foundation underneath it. It wasn't too expensive, either...around $16 or so. The only problem is that now I am on "the list"...I get invited to a darn Arbonne event at least every other weekend.

By the way, today I ran in to my neighbor who sells Arbonne and she mentioned that they just came out with a mineral powder foundation. Might be worth a try as well!

Oooh, another thread I can add to! I have a routine ... and it works for me.

In the mornings I wash with Cetaphil and my hands ... if my skin is feeling a little rougher I'll use a washcloth, but otherwise, my fingers are nice.

I put on TONS of Neutrogena dry-touch SPF 45 sunblock as my moisturizer because it does double-duty and doesn't make me oily even by the end of the day. I love this stuff even though it's on the more expensive side. (But when you figure in the moisturizer AND sunscreen costs you can save by using one product, it works out.)

I use Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan Blush & Bronzer Duo powder, then a bit of MAC eyeshadow or pigment (it's expensive but so nice to my face) and CoverGirl's Lash Exact mascara. It's cheap, works well on my sensitive eyes, and all that good stuff. If I'm feeling feisty I'll use some lipstick from Bobby Brown that I got as a sample case. I mix & match from the palette I have depending on how I'm feeling.

At night I use some Neutrogena makeup removing wipes and wash my face that way. I am still young (24 in 8 days) and so I am still not in a routine of night-time mosturizing (but I know I should start now to PREVENT).

Fun times ...

Speaking of beauty products...does anybody have any suggestions for those sunless tanning lotions? I'm tempted to try it but I'd kind of like an actual testimonial first.
