What are your favorite "products".

I know that probably seems like a silly question. I was cleaning out my travel bags (the ones that stay permanently packed) and I just starting thinking about how many products I have. I was thinking about leaving some of them at home, but I don't think I want to live without them. :grouphug:

*chuckles* I usually have 6-8 gallon size ziplock baggies full of products when I travel. You are talking about personal care products, right? Like Shampoo, toothpaste, make up, etc?

Febreeze (Because I smoke)

Downy Wrinkle Releaser (Because I hate to Iron and even clothes just form the cleaners get wrinkled when packed like sardines).

Palmer's Cocoa Butter

Bonne Bell Lip Smackers (Yes, I am 30 something and I still use the stuff)

Bath & Body Works vanilla Bean Noel Lotion (It is a Christmas Scent but I use it all year, I will cry when they discontinue it....and they will.)

Yep..........(the dots because it said my post had to be 10 characters, that is even sillier than my product question).

Of course they will! It's a conspiracy I tell ya. Every time I find a product that I dearly love, they stop making it. I swear I should wise up and buy enough to stock up for years.

I basically pack my bathroom. From the toothbrush to the hair dryer. I always take a small baggie filled with q-tips, fingernail clippers, and bandaids. Oh and usually a couple of garbage bags... for the dirty clothes.

I have an addiction to beauty stuff so here is what comes with me if I'm ever leaving the house overnight, even if it's just to spend the night at a boy's house.

1. Sephora chocolate Raspberry shower gel

2. Nivea firming body lotion

3. Clinique face soap

4. Chanel Age Delay spf 15 moisturizer

5. Too Faced - Rip Off eye makeup remover

6. Dove deodorant

7. Bare Escentuals face foundation and brush

8. Other colorful makeup like Clinique lipstick, Chanel eye shadow, Bobbi Brown blush and shimmer, Cargo lip gloss, Laura Mercier Mascara and Chanel eye liner

9. Intuition Shaver

10. Armani Sensi perfume

BTW I too LOVE LOVE LOVE Allure, or any Chanel perfume. I especially love Chance. I'm a cosmetics addict. I love Dior Addict too! lol

The most favorite products ever though are probably mineral makeup, a good mascara, and perfume. I can get by with just those three.

Hmmm.....I don't use a huge variety.....love my St. Ives blue ocean shower gel, Nina Ricci L'air du Temps cologne, and Oil of Olay Plentitude face cream. I don't wear a lot of make up.

However, I am an abosulte Louis Vuitton freak, so its more what I put it in, not what its in it. I own a fine dining restaurant in cottage country...we are extremely busy during July and August and my tips are great. We run a 7 day schedule from May to Sept and 5 the balance of the year. As a treat at the end of the summer I spend some of my tips on a new piece of LV....usually on ebay, still hugely extravagant on my part but I don't really spend money elsewhere.

I have spent more money on my oversized wardrobe which is hideous....so I feel justified in spending it on the LV.

I too pack a bit of everything from Q-tips to my hairdryer( eventhough I know most hotels have a hairdryer) Shampoo, soap, razors,suave Vit E lotion,Secret deodorant, a new toothbrush and toothpaste. I think half of my bag is devoted to toiletries.and of course the tall kitchen bags for the dirty laundry. This may be the reason why I don't travel that much .

I am right there with you'll on being a product junkie.

Since the airlines (some of them anyway) have reduced the kuggage weight from 60lbs. to 50 lbs. I really need to take some stuff out but so far I am not having any luck........I WANT IT ALL!!

HunnyBun - the chocolate Raspberry Shower Gel sounds wonderful. I have been using the BBW Holidya Sweets Gingerbread....love it.

I have been thinking about trying some of the Bare Essential Mineral Cosmetics but haven't done it yet.

PhotoNut - I too am a big fan of the Clorox Wipes, I have the Orange ones I my kitchen and the Fresh Scent in each bathroom.

lianna - I am there with you on the Biosilk Silk Therapy. The stuff is priced like gold but so worth it.

MaryB - Got the Sonicare. Where did you find travel jewelry cleaner, I need some of that.

My other cool products:

Crest vanilla Mink Toothpaste with Listerine Vanilla Mint Mouthwash

Clinique Take the Day Off Ceanising Towlettes; then I still use my ProActiv for my oily skin.

And my company just got me this new Pocket PC Cellphone - It is kinda like a Blackberry but only Microsoft Windows based. So now I don't have to carry a cell phone and PDA it is all in one. The only thing is it gets my e-mail (from work) through the cell phone connection so there is no peace....ever!

I am still in search of my favorite mascara.

DITTO! I see women with these long thick lashes that aren't all clumpy and I can't figure out what they're using. I think my lashes are just weird. There are a certain few that instantly glom together no matter what mascara I put on them. How do you train eyelashes?? :D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
