Me too. I love that tingly feeling too, when I put it on. Then I know it's going in my pores like it should and cleaning them out. I love that tingly sensation.

I love Wet n' Wild nail polishes too.
Another cheap makeup brand ($1, can't beat that) is E.L.F. Their stuff is surprisingly not bad for only being a $1. They have different lines that cost a little more but still super cheap.

My new obsession is Hard Candy makeup. If you're a fan of Urban Decay, this is very similar but much more affordable. I believe they're sister companies.

It's getting harder to find good, cheap products since I've decided to only use cruelty-free beauty products.

also on mineral oil:

I've been using baby oil as my eye make-up forever, but I LOVE the olive oil idea. I'm going to try this tonight when I get home from work.

I've also heard olive oil makes a wonderful treatment for the hair, but I've never tried that either.

Mix sugar with some lemon juice and scrub your hands with it; you won't believe how smooth they feel! Heard that on Dr. Oz.

a little bit of vaseline, and sugar mixed together as a lip scrub/exfoliant.

aspirin as an exfoliant (if I'm out of my usual scrub), or a spot treatment for acne.

tooth paste as a spot treatment for acne.

olive oil for lash conditioning (carefully!)

conditioner for shaving (actually works better than shaving cream, for me/imo)

oatmeal for a body/facial scrub (I have occasional psoriasis on my legs, so it helps with that, too!)

I really like Aveeno moisturizing lotion, a little goes a long way moisturizes well, not sticky.

I've been buying unscented wipes for sensitive skin, they're really great to quickly fresh up.

OP, I really like this thread! Good topic.

I'm a big fan of baby oil, use right after shower having water beads on your body helps spread the oil all over your body especially on your back, and of course, legs (after shaving/winter problems)

Almond oil - smells nicer than baby oil and wonderfully.

Last, but not least, my Dermontologist recommends using vaseline instead of baby or almond oils.

Mango (scrape the fiber hairy texture + pulp from seed) and coconut oil mix together to the perfect consistency to
make a paste-like texture for the face. Leave on for an hour or however long you can. Refrigerate (ziplock bag)
any unused formula. This makes face feel super good afterward. Mango fruit is an excellent vitamin source.

Brush baking soda once/twice a week to prevent off-colored pearly shades.

Someone gave me a HUGE bottle of Almond Oil. Not only is it healthy to consume, it's great for use on the face. I use it to take off mascara & other makeup. It's a lightweight, not sticky, oil.

I make my own face mask using Indian clay, mixed with a pinch of Vitamin C powder, and a bit of face lotion or oil.

If you don't mind my asking, do you buy this product online?

Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but the lactic acid in plain yogurt makes it a great facial exfoliant. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse with tepid water. It definitely helps.

And, like 2goldens, I also use a mixture of toothpaste, baking soda, and a few drops of mild hydrogen peroxide as a teeth whitener.
