New products

I tried two new things this week and really thought they were great. The first is Redken 02 Satinwear, a product you put on before blow drying. Made my hair shiny and very manageable. The second is Aveeno Simply Radiant face cream. I think it really helped with wrinkles and have only used it a week. Anyone tried new things lately?

My two new favorites are Clinique pore perfecting lotion and Skin Milk shower and bath gel.

This is a great idea for a thread - I love product reviews !

My permaculture group did a workshop on using Biochar, and what I remember was that yes, you can make your own, but you won’t get as much micro-friendly charcoal. The slow, low-oxygen burn is what creates the most beneficial charcoal, because it leaves open cells for bacteria and fungi to colonate in. That’s the gain in putting it in the soil, so you can concentrate these microbial benefits where you are growing. So I guess if you’re making your own, you just apply more to offset any over-cooked charcoal? It sounded like a lot of work to make my own, and without a microscope I wouldn’t know if I had made it correctly, so I just bought it. :-)

Grace, I looked it up and so far I've only read one article recommending Soft Scrub with bleach. Is your sink white? Before I started using the Kohler cleaner (I bet it may work on fire clay, something worth looking into), after I cleaned my sink I'd use Clorox Bleach Foamer, I think it was for bathrooms, but used it on my kitchen sink and it whitened the sink and left it shiny. But the fumes were awful so I'd open windows and leave the room for a few minutes. It worked pretty good.

Here's the first update on it. Most of the weeds have turned brown and wilted but some of them are partially affected. So I figured that they hadn't been sprayed completely enough so I went back and hit them again. It didn't faze the nutsedge. So we will see if this lasts long enough to warrant spending money on it. I did have to really spray them heavily and of course the crappy sprayer mechanism on the bottle is already trying to crap out and the bottle is half full. We can put man on the moon (it happened fifty years ago) but we can't design a spray bottle that works.

Is Skin Milk the lotion that is packaged in the blue and white bottle and smells like vanilla? If so,, I love it, but only have the facial moisturizer.
Another new product that's good is Garden Botanika's
lip plumping lipstick, and the new lash tint by Neutrogena
not clumpy or heavy, but darkens every eyelash.

Yes, Skin Milk comes in a blue and white bottle. I used to order it from Drugstore.com, but they don't have it any more (drats) so now I need a new source myself.

I will have to try that Neutrogena lash tint !

Wow, what a terrific thread! Dragonfly2 - thanks for the heads-up on the Neutrogena Lash Tint. (I've been looking for a product like this for 20 years.) It hasn't arrived in my area yet, but I'm checking daily. I've never found a mascara that creates real-looking eyelashes. (Hello Tammy-Faye!) They all "clump" no matter how many times they say "No Clumping" on the packaging.

I'm also going to track down the Redken product, as that, too, sounds like a keeper. Keep that information coming, girls.

The lip plumping lipsitck is a Garden Botanika product. I believe it was also endorsed on The View.

I was in nyc this weekend and bought an assortment of Skin Milk products; not one drugstore had them all, I ended up visiting all the pharmacies I was passing by, can't wait to try them...

I also bought crack creme.......

Strivectin D eyecreme and the Loreal dirmabrasion kit.I use them alternately and think they are helping with wrinkles.They are said to thin the skin,so it is important to use sunscreen with both.

Careful with that crack cream Mitch! You don't want to cover up all the cracks!

Bev, thanks for the warning, lol...

It smells of cloves, so I've been using it on my feet only, before I put on socks- I don't mind the smell but I would not want it on my upper body where the smell would hit me...

One of the jars of Skin Milk cream I brought back smelled rancid, that tell tale nutty smell, so that went in the trash; the other Skin Milk products I bought smell fresh...... a faint vanilla smell; I love the body scrub. For 5.99 each, they are a good product....

Pomona: for a true non clumping mascara try Paula Dorf cake mascara. It's amazing.
