    Mary Kay Moisturizer
    Make-up (mostly clinique)

    Wash fash with Clinique cleanser

      I change the products that I use pretty often but here's what I use right now.
      I'm a sucker for new stuff and LOVE shopping for makeup and skincare.

      This is my typical everyday morning routine:
      Clean & Clear Oxygenating Face Wash
      Clean & Clear Sensitive Skin Astringent
      Neutrogena Healthy Face Skin Lotion mixed with some foundation (I have a few that I alternate with)
      Concealer under eyes- either MAC or Physician's Formula
      Physician's Formula Mineral Face Powder
      Blush [either MAC Decoy or Milani Luminous]
      Lipstick [currently either MAC Satiate (I think that's the name) or Maybelline Extreme Moisture in Nude Blush]
      Mascara [currently by Neutrogena]

      Night:
      Clean & Clear Oxygenating Face Wash
      Clean & Clear Sensitive Skin Astringent
      Almay Eye Makeup remover pads

      My skin does better when I don't use a lot of things on it so I try to keep that to a minimum. I use Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask maybe once a month and L'Oreal Microdermabrasion every now and then.

      I want to get something to prevent wrinkles but am scared it will break me out.

        The Aveeno exfoliator is ok. I like the Clinique version much better; I have really oily skin, so I liked how the Clinique version really felt like a good scrubbing on my face but it's way too expensive! Anyway, the Aveeno exfoliator is more liquidy, not as particle-y as the Clinique. I got it for about $5 at Target, so it's not too expensive if you want to just give a try.

        Good to know about the Step 2 coming in a pump. The thing I like about the bars is that they last FOREVER! I'll check out the pump when I run out...
        Yeah, the Clinique exfoliator feels good. I have combination skin. Some spots are oily, other spots, dry.

        The pump for Step 2 is SO nice. You only need a tiny bit, and I'm almost inclined to say that it actually lasts longer than the bar.

          Morning:

          Wash face with Olay smooth skin exfoliating scrub, and follow with Neutrogena alcohol-free toner. If I have any zits, I put some Mary Kay acne treatment gel on them. I put Mary Kay triple action eye enhancer on my eyelids so my eyeshadow doesn't cake. I use Olay eye cream under my eyes, some Olay "targeted tone enhancer" on areas where my skin is a little discolored, and then I put Olay complete moisturizer w/SPF 15 all over my face and neck. For makeup, I use the bare escentuals stuff that I have raved about elsewhere. Their foundation has SPF 15. I wear concealer, foundation, finishing powder, blush, at least two colors of eye shadow, liner, and mascara pretty much every day unless I am sick or at the beach. More and more of my makeup is bare escentuals, but I still have 3 revlon quad eyeshadows that I use a lot, and my liner pencils are all Mary Kay. My mascara is Maybelline lash stylist in soft black, and I love it.

          Night: Nothing I used to feel guilty about that, but since I started using bare escentuals, I don't as much because my face never feels oily or dirty, and I hardly ever get zits now. I use petroleum jelly to get my mascara off in the mornings.....I forgot to put that in my morning routine.
