HotandFlashy posted her Best Drugstore Makeup 2016.. She also has a high end makeup video.
If you are unfamiliar with her, she's a fifty something home exerciser (started with The Firm decades ago) and tries out hair stuff, face stuff, nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, fashion videos, food stuff. Lots of info. I've subscribed for years. Highly recommend. If you live in the Boston area, she sometimes has get togethers and also meets in NYC.

New products I tried in 2016 that I really like:
Trader Joes Nourish All in One Facial Cleanser, really glad I tried this on a whim. It has quickly become my favorite cleanser, I like it better than the more expensive cleansers including Paula’s Choice. Andalou Naturals DIY Booster SPF 30 Facial Serum Unscented, best SPF I’ve ever used under makeup – light, absorbs quickly and doesn’t break me out. Andalou Naturals Age Defying Revitalize Serum, also very light and absorbent and gets a high rating from Beautypedia. CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing lotion SPF 30, this is too thick to use on my face, the Andalou Naturals is much better for that but I use this on my neck and chest every day (I live in a sunny climate). Yes to Coconut Ulta Moisture Shampoo, just tried this recently, love the smell and it makes my hair feel sleek and shiny. Giovanni Smooth as Silk Protein Hair Infusion, this is an intense conditioner I use right after coloring my hair and whenever my hair feels dry. |

I was doing a closet clean out, and weirdly enough, found some packets of cassia obovata tucked in a box. Used to use it for hair treatments that don't change my hair color. I wonder if it's still good? Might have to give it a try, but honestly, I'm not wild about the mess.

This is my communication from Paula's Choice sent on Nov. 19:
"Thank you for contacting us, we are happy to assist. We have a line of brand new foundations launching in Spring 2017. This is an estimated date, and it is subject to change. We are very excited about these, and we hope that you’ll love them!" Ever since they discontinued their wonderful makeup line, they have been releasing limited edition makeup pallets and collections, none of which I have purchased. They seem to be releasing makeup just for fun instead of as a basic necessity. Quote:

beyond.omega - thank you so much for your post. I'm going to hold off on henna as my goal is to encourage my curls as much as possible and to steer clear of redness. I'm a dark brunette that is prone to brassiness.
killoffsonny and rheash92 - I use Mad Hippie face cream daily and I love it. I mix it with either the antioxidant oil or the vitamin C drops. I have been using those three products and the face wash for awhile and I think they have made a positive change in my skin. Prior to switching to Mad Hippie I was a loyal Paula's Choice user for many years. I am 49 and had frequent breakouts and enlarged pores while using PC products.I think the PC stuff was overstimulating my skin. After several months with Mad Hippie and Everyday Minerals foundation my skin looks much better and I have way less breakouts. The next thing on my list to try is their SPF cream. None of my local health food stores carry it so I think I'll just get it from Amazon.

I started using Retin-a in 2016 again, after using it for acne when I was in my late teens/early twenties. It's been about 6 months so no huge results yet...Also started using essential oils on my face, for anti-aging. Just started that about a week ago so no great results there yet either.
