ok, so everyone's peeing themselves over that mascara. post some other recommendations here!
i'm all about skin care, and i've had several people ask me what products i like the best. here are a few of my faves:

Derma-E's Scar Gel
"This unique blend of botanical extracts will help soften, smooth, and diminish the appearance of scars, especially those that are lumpy, bumpy or discolored. The herbal ingredients help breakdown scar tissue and encourage healthy natural-looking tissue growth. It is equally effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks, burns, calluses and other skin hardenings, and will help heal minor burns or skin overexposed to the sun. This non-oily formula will not stain clothes."
(works great on stretch marks. you wouldn't believe it. i used it religiously all summer and whatever marks i had have faded so much...they used to be awful, and now i'm not self-concious about them at all. works wonderfully on acne scars too.)

Derma-E's Clear Skin treatments
(there's a 1, 2, and 3 - cleanser, blemish treatment, and moisturizer. they don't overdry your skin, and they're good for both oily and dry complexions. i've got wicked oily skin and most moisturizers make it worse. this one feels like nothing else i've used. it goes on really cool and calming, and thick yet not oily. i used to have to switch products every few months when my skin got used to it - i've been using this stuff for 3 years now and i swear by it. the cleanser doesn't foam up but it totally removes dirt and oil, and the blemish treatmen rocks. it totally kills zits without overdrying at all, and takes out redness. good shit.)
all of these are less than 20 bucks each, and will probably last you a good 2 months or so each.
if you have extra dough to spend, i really, really highly recommend Alkaitis.

(they're a small company and their site is shitty.)
but their products are incredible. hands down, the purest shit i've seen. all organic, all plant extracts, no fillers or preservatives. and amazingly, it works. i was given a sample kit like the one above, and i thought my blemish-y skin wouldn't take to it. within about 3 days, my skin was fuckin' glowing. the cleanser, the toner, the day and night creams, the eye gel...they were all heavenly. and the body oil smelled fantastic. i was able to stretch out that one little kit to last almost a month (that's how little you need), but god damn i can't afford $55 a bottle for each product. but if i could...oh lordy. someday.
