Fashion Friday: Beauty Products

My beautiful, smart friend Clare emailed me her go-to beauty and skin care products. I thought I’d share. Not only is this girl obsessed with researching the best that money can buy, she has a biochemistry background. So she clearly knows her stuff. I’m also a big fan of CeraVe which is the best moisturizing lotion in the market. And it’s super cheap.

Hi Catherine,

So wonderful seeing you last night!

So here are my beauty picks

1) Eye lashes: Grand LashMD (do not get their other brands as this is the best)

http://www.amazon.com/GrandeLASH-MD-Enhancer-Fullness-Darkness/dp/B00325D0WK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335284738&sr=8-1

2) CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: (absolutely amazing moisturizer! Seems extra creamy and I was worried about breaking out, but so far not one pimple)

http://www.amazon.com/HEALTHPOINT-MEDICAL-CERAVE-MOISTURIZING/dp/B0012E1KOI/ref=sr_1_8?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1335284812&sr=1-8

3) Obaji Elastiderm eye treatment cream: (Used for about 10 days and I enjoy so far.  I think it takes abot 2 months to really tell thought. Good reviews)

http://www.amazon.com/Obagi-ELASTIderm-Eye-Treatment-Cream/dp/B000OZGHCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1335284935&sr=1-1

4) Vitamin A: RetinA Brand Micro Cream 0.025% (I ordered the -.05%, but given how sensitive your skin is I think this might be better for you. Wait 30 minutes after washing face before applying. Start with every 4 days, then every 3, then every other day, and by week 5-6 every day.

http://www.amazon.com/Retinol-Vitamin–Retin-A-Brand-Cream/dp/B006UOW3QY/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1335285023&sr=1-1

I have not found the perfect Vitamin E cream (C and E are more effective together). Once I do I will forward you this info…

Cheers
