Today’s Friend Friday from ModlyChic is all about the products that help us stay pretty once we wake up in the morning. I’m fairly simple when it comes to everyday make-up and beauty products: I cleanse, mosturize, add a bit of power, do up my brows, line my eyes and wear a light gloss or sheer lipstick. No matter how simple I keep things, I definitely have my favorites. What are yours?
What’s your favorite drug store makeup product and your favorite higher-end product?
I love the UK brand, Boots for skin care products. I tried the Boots brand in London and have been hooked ever since. One can imagine the elation I felt when the line came to Target. Now, it’s the only product I use. Being an Anglophile, I gravitated towards the Rimmel London line for make-up. As far as high-end products, I used to like Clinique and Estee Lauder, but now I really just stick to the Boots and Rimmel lines.
Is there one type of product that is your go-to, can’t live without?
I need some kind of everyday exfoliant or light facial scrub. I also love facial wipes when traveling. I consider the Boots Cleansing and Toning Wipes a girl’s best friend! I just like products that keep my face feeling refreshed, since it tends to get oily quickly. Oh, and my Brow Fix kit by Milani Cosmetics (seen here).
What’s the best hair product you’ve ever used?
Joico K-PAK conditioner and Joico Brilliantine pomade.
Fess up, what’s the worst beauty look you’ve tried to rock and look back at now with a little shame or apprehension that you actually did that?
I tried the tanning salon to even out a tan right before a wedding I was in. I will never go to a tanning salon ever again as long as I live.
When it comes to beauty products, we all use the same basic products. What do you use that helps show off your personal flare and personality?
I don’t usually use beauty products to show off my personal flare. I use my hairstyle and clothing to do that. I simply use beauty products to keep my skin healthy and to maintain a clean, fresh look. I’ll just brighten and accentuate my make up for evenings out or parties, but really, I’m quite simple when it comes to beauty.

I like the Rimmel mascara and bronzer
I have heard so much about the Boots line and am excited to try it
Glad to hear another good review.

Hi Brett! Thanks for stopping by. Yes, definitely try the Boots line at Target. I just use the Expert line, and it suits my needs very well. I’ve recommended it to my mother-in-law and she also loves it. And the good thing is the price point. I hope you love it just as much!

Heh…I’ve never tried the tanning thing and I don’t want to…I’ve just seen and heard so many bad things!
Cleansing wipes are amazing…I’m lazy so it really speeds up the process for me!
Good for you…if you’ve never tried it, I don’t really suggest it. For me, it gave me this aweful “baked” look, lol. Aren’t cleansing wipes fantastic? I’m lazy, too so anything that speeds up the process helps.
Thanks for stopping by Erica! I’m in the process of checking out all of the other FBFF posts myself 🙂
