But not as gross as meeeeee!!
I win the prize!!
In the past I wasn’t able to shop with cruelty free in mind, and I got full sizes even though I never used them all up before they got dry or super old. I think I’m gonna try this out next. Minis and cruelty free!
I started looking for it yesterday and got distracted! Here it is: https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/instant-eyeshadow-palette-starry-eyes-hypnotise
I like it a lot: creamy, colors blend well, glitter doesn’t get everywhere. This palette has the colors I use all of the time, so if I were getting another one, I’d get this one: https://www.sephora.com/product/charlotte-tilbury-darling-eyeshadow-palette-P454046?skuId=2307825&icid2=skugrid:p454046:product
I was browsing and found that Darling one yesterday…should be good for neutral looks which is about all I am capable of!
More lotion questions.
I’ve been using Jergens as a body lotion, which generally has been fine. I like the weight, it sinks in pretty well, it generally seems to work to give my skin that extra little bit of moisture and suppleness. It has a scent but it’s one I don’t mind.
However, it doesn’t work well on my back, where it causes acne. I don’t want to use my facial lotion on my back because, well, that’s a big area to put expensive lotion on. However, my back clearly needs a sensitive skin lotion as much as my face does.
Recs for non-comedogenic body lotions that don’t break the bank?
We should move to the skincare thread!
I’ve used Eucerin on the recommendation of a doctor when I had an issue with folliculitus. It was pretty good, from what I recall. Maybe kind of greasy, though?
Oh, shoot, there’s a skincare thread?
It’s in the Big Money Playpen area same as this
Ahhh I thought I was on that thread! Whoops!!!
@anomalily could you move my question mini-thread by any chance?
Cetaphil cream (regularly on sale at Costco).
I find the (maybe regular version?) Cetaphil face wash to be strongly perfumed (ymmv, and I don’t know if the lotion is the same), but CeraVe seems to be comparable and I find it to be less/unscented. I’m not sure how it compares on cost!
The other place I look for generally-well-tollerated products is r/skincareaddiction but I haven’t read their guides recently!
I have a jar of thick cream, no real smell I detect), slightly greasy but it soaks in fast. I do like CeraVe also, but haven’t tried any moisturizers.
I also like Aveeno products, but haven’t tried a moisturizer.
Wizard has Eucerin and I’ve used it on my feet - I think it might be too hardcore for my back.
I might give Cetaphil or CeraVe a whirl, especially since I can get those at the store on my block. Worst comes to worst I come skulking back to this thread in a month looking for really fancy body lotion…
Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion, Unscented Original, 32 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001441QCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GF06PNJ5Z08HKW2N1M7Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I’ve loved this stuff. Used it all through pregnancy and beyond. My stretch marks were super itchy sometimes and this helped a ton.
Ooo. What is the texture like?
Definitely lighter than eucerin, I would say comparable to jergens. Not watery per se, but not like a super thick cream. Very much a typical body lotion texture, on the ever so slightly thick end of that spectrum- it would be thin for a face cream.
It’s ever so slightly greasy right after like most of the natural lotions are, but I have zero sensory issues putting clothes on right after it- no weird clingy sticky weirdness. And I haven’t noticed any residue or anything.
Hmm. My situation complicates.
What is your facial lotion? We can compare ingredient!! I like the unscented Cetaphil and CeraVe type solutions - I think at least one of those has carcinogens though, so not that one.
Does your back feel oily or dry? Do you condition your hair? Do you have other acne? Blackheads or big cysts?
