I know we're all soon to be engaged, married, or are newlyweds...so we've all got special events to get dolled up for.

I HAD to put a product shout out thread on here because I have had the best luck with a few products that I keep buying.

Boscia face wash - My gay boyfriend at my local Sephora store suggested this to me to help get my skin in better shape. I had tried EVERYTHING.

Maybelline's 'The Falsies' Mascara - AMAZING. I will never use another kind for how little it costs!

What products do you guys love? Which are good for the rest of us to avoid? :)

    I too have a few products that I keep getting to...  I started looking into organics and vegetarian/vegan products, because I am vegetarian, and don't want even harsh chemicals on me... so here goes:

    Urban Decay - Link - Roach Lipliner (I know the names are weird, but the company's products are 100% vegan) and stays in place all day long!

    Bare Escentuals - Waterproof Mascara which lives up to it's promise, it won't run!

    Alba - Passion Fruit Lip Balm - 100% vegetarian, I use this every day, even as a filler after the lip liner, gives me a nice glossy natural look.. can be found at Sprouts

    Sephora Mineral Loose Powder Foundation - doesn't have parabens, all natural and a bit cheaper than the Bare Escentuals brand... I find myself not using very much at all of this, if not none, just to hide some scars which are fading...

    Face wash in the shower - I make my own with a combination of Neem Powder and Tulsi Powder which is green in color.    I used to use Vedica Face wash, and mix in both neem and tulsi powder when the Chinese store didn't carry the product anymore.  (I've tried everything, and this is the only combination  that worked for my semi-oily skin.)   Everytime I workout, just scrubbing this, makes my skin smoother, smell earthy, and the blemishes are fading :)

    Lotion - Alba     - Original is my favorite smell

    Toothpaste - I have a few favorite brands that I mix with - mostly from Sprouts- organic, all natural, without any chemicals
    - Jason's Power Smile (Whitening) - the best all over whitening toothpaste
    - Kiss My Face - Whitening Toothpaste (after brushing, it makes your teeth feel like you just came out of the dentist - super smooth)

    Deodarant - Tom's of Maine - All Natural, Long Lasting - Lavendar scent - You can find these at Target, Grocery Stores, Sprouts etc

    Shampoo / Conditioner     - Avalon Organics - Lavendar Scent - can be found at Sprouts / Whole Foods...

    Leave in Conditioners -
    - Tigi Catwalk Curls Rocks Conditioner - Can be found at any grocery store, drug store
    - Fructis Leave in Conditioner - Curl Shine - $3.00 @ Target

    I think that's all I have for now :)  Welcome to the world of Mrs K :)

    I've been wanting to use the "falsies" mascara...thanks Sonali!

    KP - Reading your list I noticed that you get things at good prices at Target... We don't have a Target in canada :( ... I've heard some many good things about that store...

    My product shout out: Sephora make up wipes ($10)...it's what i use on those super lazy nights when I don't want to remove my make up ....but I know I should !!
    It's quick and doesn't require much work lol...
    On the regular days...I use Avon's cream eyemake up remover....it's also a good way of adding more moistorizer to your eyes at night

    Bhanu, next time I'm headed to TO, send me a list of what you might like, I am sure it'll find its way across the border with me :)

    Mrs BM - if you need something, I can ship it :):) Also Amazon is pretty comparable as well for price of beauty products!
