My facial moisturizer is Neutrogena's oil-free moisturizer. It won't clog pores, is hypoallergenic, alcohol and fragrance free, contains SPF 15 and is non-greasy.

The Vitamin E Skin Care Cream is "Fruit of the Earth" brand and can be found at Walmart at the back of the store.  Because it is so cheap and never advertised, it's not out front. It contains aloe vera, sunflower seed oil, collagen, elastin, gylcerin, and vitamin E among other things.  It is best on dry legs, feet and hands, bit  It is also good on your face in the really dry areas.

I had used Windex and also copycat store brands with the color and smell of Windex for years. I have tried making my own window cleaner, used newspapers etc. and they are work pretty well, but about 13 years ago I found Sprayway Window cleaner at Costco and that is my go to cleaner now.  When it first came out I was intrigued by it's 50's style label. (A graphic of a lady wearing a dress and apron.)  Some of the cans still have that label,  but at Costco now, they changed it to this version. The product is the same and has been for 60 years. It has a clean, good smell, it comes out like a frothy, thinned down version of shaving cream so doesn't drip and cleans very well with few if any streaks. It does not contain ammonia so you can use it on porcelain, chrome and mirrors.   A can goes a long way and you can get a 3 pack at Costo but Target and other stores carry it too. It varies so much in price from place to place.  Target's is about $2.40 a can.  Some places charge almost $5.  Go figure.  It makes washing windows a little less painful.

I love make-up.  I feel like an artist when I apply even if it's only a little, but I have to have just the right product especially Where mascara is concerned. I have tried sooooooooo many.
I need waterproof for church ( Did I mention I have a tendency to cry at tender things?) and regular for most other days.  I bought Avon's wash off waterproof.  It does a good job.  I bought a Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof and just don't like it's wimpy little brush or the way it coats the lash. Colett turned me onto Colossal Volume Express by Maybelline and I like it the best.  The sculpted brush gets all the lashes, even in the corner and it won't come off unless I use eye make-up remover.  My favorite regular mascara is also Colossal volume Express.  It has the same brush and doesn't dry out as quickly as some.  I have fairly long lashes but they are not really thick so it works to plump up the lashes a bit. I have tried Prescriptives, Avon, Revlon, Estee Lauder and others that haven't worked as well for me. I like the one called Falsies (also by Maybelline) and it works well but has the little wimpy brush that almost feels like it will break if you use it too often.  If I use the Colossal brush in the Falsies tube, then it works pretty well.  For me, I don't want the "almost can't tell it's there" mascara, or the mascara that thickens so much it looks like spider legs hanging from your eyes..ewww... but I like something that extends, thickens a  little and stays put until I take it off.  That's what Colossal does for me.  I just might mention that no matter what mascara I have, I take the brush and bend it into a arch before I use it.  It makes applying easier.

I don't have kinky, frizzy hair, but it does get really dry and fly-away at times.  I found myself constantly spraying my hair brush with Static Guard which didn't always work.  I found this product at Wal-Mart and thought I'd give it a try.  It is John Freida Frizz-Ease. The label says it is the "SECRET WEAPON", a  flawless finishing cream which instantly camouflages imperfections, leaves dull, dry hair shiny, soft and supple.  Use anywhere, anytime.  Quite a label huh?  It sucked me in.  You apply it to dry hair by putting a small amount in your palm and then rubbing it in your hairs, especially at the dry ends.  Guess what?  It works.

Aleen's Tacky Glue.

I have used and liked all of her glues but this is may favorite.  It works on just about everything. If you leave it out for a while, some of the moisture evaporates and it becomes super tacky glue (which she also sells).  We have used it on frames, wood trim, toys, fabric, scrapbooks and cards, etc.  I had one bottle of her super tacky glue that came in a jar instead of a bottle and when that was gone, I poured the regular tacky glue into it so I that can use it with a craft stick if I need to.  It's much easier than trying to pour it out through the little pointed tip when more is needed.
