a good non-oily moisturizer for winter

I picked this stuff up last winter to help with dry skin related acne, and it helped a lot. I like that it has no artificial stuff so I feel like I can put it on my skin and not worry (since I don't wear foundation/skin makeup most days) about everything getting red. It helps after I do exfoliations and astringents during my mild breakouts.

However in 80 degree humid weather I find this can do more harm than good, so keep oil blotting towlettes handy, or skip it.

The only lipstick I'll wear

While my initial interest in this brand was majorly due to their beautiful packaging, I have to say I made the right choice in judging this book by it's cover. I also own this shade in Juicy Melons which turned out to be a little too pink for every day looks, but I love the way it feels so I just had to try another shade. When I got the discount on Beautylish I knew exactly what to get: another La Creme. I was hoping to snag Spice Spice Baby, but they were out of stock and so I looked at the others and decided to give Honey Bear a try since it was close but a little more neutral. Oh. My. God. Honey Bear looks so good with my skin, it glides on smoothly, and as long as I apply a translucent powder, it doesn't smudge or go away when I eat food. By far the best part of this lip color is that it doesn't feel like I smeared on a bunch of cakey goo, it just feels the same as my sugar lip balm but a little less slippery. This is probably the only lipstick I'll ever shell out $20 for, since I'm poor as dirt. And it's completely 100% worth it. Also Beautylish shipped fast, through reliable fedex, and handwrote a nice note for me. Excellent service :)
