What is the one product...

bex · Chanel

one that immediately comes to my mind is my Kenra Intensive Emoillient Treatment. It is a deep conditioner for your hair and it has helped me grow my hair out! i used to never get my hair this long (it is about an inch past my shoulders currently) before it would split and break and look so bad... but i use Kenra IET once a week and now i don't have those issues anymore. i it.

Burt's Bees lip balm in the stick version. I will never go back to chapstick again!

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Satin Lip set from MK...totally changed the texture of my lips...I am an official addict

Origins face products....the ONLY ones ever that reduce the appearance of whiteheads on my upper cheeks

flknight24 · Dooney & Bourke

I'm a little surprised that this is what first came to mind for me but I think the one product that has helped me the most is this Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash. I used to use different body washes like Dial, Oil of Olay, etc. and I always had pimples on my chest but ever since I switched to this I haven't had any problem. I also love the subtle smell.

Collette · Chanel

Osmotics Blue Copper

ever since I started using it my skin looks so much better, pores tighter, I can't live without it.

jen · Kate Spade

Precriptives concelar for bags. Aveda hair poducts literally change the texture of my hair for the better.

bumblebee · Coach

Nuxe Creme Fraiche moisturizer. The best not-oily but not too-thin texture for a cream, smells like plants.

Tara · Dooney & Bourke

Resolution eye by Lancome: I get the WORST dark circles under my eyes from allergies - this stuff rules. Even my normally oblivious b/f noticed the difference. I cannot live without this stuff.

gruiz · Kenneth Cole

Olay Daily Facials (sensitive skin formula). They completely erased any acne problems I had...and if you cut them in half, they last twice as long!

Becca · Kate Spade

You so explained my hair! It's sooooo damaged from straightening it. I'm really interested in trying this product. I found it online, but do you know if I can buy it at any store other than like a salon? Thanks!

try ulta or trade secret!

I think just using conditioner as a styling product. I have out of control curly hair and have tried everything. I tried conditioner a few years ago, but it didn't work at all. I tried it a few weeks ago again at the suggestion of my hair cutter, and it's amazing. My hair looks consistently good, but not too frizzy.

Also, I recently got microabrasion to my front teeth. They had spots on them from getting too much flouride when I was young or something and in a few minutes at the dentist's office they were gone.

Escrime · Kate Spade

Shiseido The Makeup Smoothing Veil

It is a perfect "starter" for my make-up. I put it on after my sunscreen (also Shiseido), and before I put on my make-up (Bare Minerals). It helps the make-up stay in place, and it really does help "brighten" my skin.

kahluamilk · Dooney & Bourke

Rosebud salve!! My lips r pretty dry and this is my life savior!!!

blubirde · Chanel

This stuff. It honestly makes my eyes feel like satin the next day and keeps me from having dark circles. Now if only I'd use it every night... (I tend to only use it when I know I have a big day coming up.)

Shiseido's Gentle Cleansing Lotion http://www.shiseido.co.jp/e/e0001sts/html/product.htm (can't find a pic) This stuff makes my skin so soft and keeps my skin very clear. I just wish I could afford to buy it because it goes pretty fast. But damn it'd be the first thing I'd buy if I got a raise!

Lilykind · Hermes

My skin loves nothing more than to slathered with Shiseido Pureness Moisturizing Gel-Creme. It gives the most perfect amount of moisture, feels super light on and has never given me so much as a blemish. I started using this moisturizer (to relieve dryness from disgusting amounts of benzoyl peroxide usage) in December '04 and by April '05 my skin was nearly perfect. Plus it smells like I'm giving my skin something so goooood.

I hate having to scrimp on so many other things in order to buy a two month supply of this for $30.

lynnie · Chanel

i love reading these- keep them coming!

Collette- can you tell me more about the Blue Copper cream? What kind of skin type do you have and what changes has it made in your skin?

Hmm, for me, using Kiehl's baby lip balm or ganache for lips has kept my lips moisturized- my lips are always cracking otherwise. I also really like phytojojoba shampoo, but i don't use it everyday because of the $22 price tag plus i don't want my hair to stop responding to it. I guess i haven't really found any must-haves =(

stylethread · Kenneth Cole

I love polls like this! I am definitely going to have to go with this-

Dior Refreshing Cleansing Water

This stuff is the best. I use it to remove all my makeup, especially on my eyes and it makes my skin glow. It's not a wash, you use it like a toner. This is something I bring with me on vacation because I use it every night before I go to sleep. This is my favorite skincare product.

I usually buy it from Sephora, but, tragically, they don't carry it anymore as of this month. Normally I would just let it go, but now I am going to go search for it online, as my bottle is running low. Aahhhh...

I really swear by Matrix's Sleek.Look shampoo and conditioner. I used to hate my hair until I found this stuff. It makes my hair so soft and helps prevent it from getting frizzy if it's humid outside.

I didn't realize how much I loved it until I ran out of both and didn't have a chance to run to the salon and buy more right away.....I noticed that my hair instantly became unmanageable again!

I almost forgot to add: I LOVE Origins' Modern Friction microdermabrasion scrub. I have been using it every 3 days for 2 months, and my face is softer, smoother, and the color is more even. It makes my face glow!
