Let's Play Tag! (Courtesy of The Daily Cookie!)

While perusing the lovely Lilan's blog (The Daily Cookie) today, I noticed that she tagged me in her Let's Play Tag post! There are two top five posts that I now must respond to. So, here they are!

My Five Must-NOT Have Items
1) Lancome Nutrix Soothing Treatment Cream -- I am a fan of pretty much everything Lancome, but unfortunately this moisturizer made me break out almost the second I put it on my skin! Scary!
2) Benefit Galactic Shield! Concealer -- I was really excited about this product, but let me tell you -- IT DOES NOTHING. And I really, really, really wanted it to! I tried it over and over and just never saw any results.
3) Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Shampoo and Conditioner -- Wow, was my hair greasy for days after using these. It took about a week to get all the grease out! Ick.
4) Concealer or foundation of any type -- I steer clear of these because they make me break out! Without any foundation or concealer on, I may have a couple blemishes from time to time but at least for the most part my skin stays young and fresh-looking.
5) Beauty Rehab Rose Salve -- Again, I was quite excited to try this after learning about it at the Henri Bendel Beauty Breakfast. But one swipe on my lips and I was totally turned off ... it didn't moisturize or smooth them at all and it tasted like cold cream! Umm ... gross.

My Five Biggest Makeup Crimes
1) I definitely don't floss as much as I should. I'm probably at about 4 days a week -- I don't know what happens the other 3, I guess I'm just lazy!
2) I don't always wash my makeup off before bed! Call it tiredness, call it plain laziness, sometimes my eyeliner and mascara get all over my pillowcase during the night because I just didn't feel like taking it off!
3) Lack of loyalty to massage therapists and facialists -- It's not that I don't love the people I've gone to, but I just always want to try new spas, treatments and aestheticians.
4) Sometimes I forget to put on moisturizer before bed!
5) I don't wear sunscreen often enough. And yes, I know this is terrible, especially because I walk to work and definitely have the sun beating on me every day. I know I should protect my face and hands ... again, chalk it up to pure laziness.

These were fun -- thanks to Lilan! I'm going to tag Michelle of All Lacquered Up, Delphine of Steeping Beauty, Kitiya of Mischo Beauty and Joy of Makeup Junkie. Have fun, ladies!

I'm with you on the flossing! As for SPF, it's a must!!! I'm really good about using it on my face, not so good at the décolletage area. I can see a difference already (I'm 30).
