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 !

Thanks! Oakley -yay for Aquage! That brush looks amazing. Funkyart which style do you think runs wider? My feet feel much better. My left foot doesn’t hurt at all anymore when I have them on. The right foot still does but I suspect it will take awhile for that foot to settle down. I really need a pair of comfortable (standard work with almost anything black) boots/booties but don’t really like their styles. Theres one that’s ok but I wish the toebox was shaped a little different. Going to order more sandals. Im going to look into some of the other sandals mentioned here too. Thanks Eld. Yeon -The small bottle (they have a large size too) has a dropper and I just put a drop on the applicator and run it along the top. Another drop for the bottom and drop right at the beginning of the spooly brush to use on my brows. It sounds like a lot but I have over half a bottle still. I don’t recommend brushing the oil on the lashes with the spooly brush (mascara wand) because the oil is so thick it just beads up. It’s kind of gunky feeling but doesn’t irritate the eyes at all. I do it right before bed and sleep with it on. In the morning I just rub my eyes. It seems some of its absorbed in because there’s less. ETA - Thanks for suggestions about exercises. I was thinking there was probably stretches or something I could do to help. I'll check it out. Justerrilynn -They look great! And nice ZZ plant too.

Jinx, I stopped using dishrags about 15 years ago because they don't rinse well, so I switched to Handi Wipes. When I'm cleaning I don't have the patience to stand over the sink rinsing out a dishrag. I buy several packages at a time and they last forever, and rinse clean in seconds, unlike dish rags. Have you tried them? I'm not a germaphobe but dishrags give me the creeps after they've been used. lol Maire, I think that's the hose DH bought for the greenhouse and it's nice. This is the one I use for my flowerbeds This is the third year I've had it and not one kink and when I turn around the hose does the same without me having to adjust it. With this heat and no kinks, it's amazing.

kathsgrdn, I can look up my purchase history because I buy the powders on Amazon. Two kinds - the color variety (no oxy bleach), a 3.2kg box now on hand was purchased in Oct, 2020. The white variety, with O2 bleach, 6.5kg in Oct 2017. Both boxes are getting low but not yet needing replacement. I'll stick to what I said, I find it hard to be concerned with the packaging. I guessed it was one box per year and this info shows it's less than that. Detergent packaging is recyclable, so if properly disposed of, nothing "adds up". Use what you like, we can all make different choices. Most people use too much detergent in their washers, cutting back on dosage is an even better way to be environmentally conscious, save money, and have clothes that are cleaner (without detergent residue).

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.
