Shiseido Anessa SPF46 PA+++ face suncream.
http://www.shiseido.co.jp/anessa/ (http://www.shiseido.co.jp/anessa/)

It is rather expensive (ca. $50 per bottle), but I do not need to wear foundation. In the morning, I just wear skin lotion and the Shisedo suncream. Strangely, the suncream fits to my face and functions for me as sun protector, balm cream and essence. It's more than I expected. I now wear it because the sun is too strong in fall here.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer.  It has 30 spf and really does a great job on your skin.  You can get it at Target or Walmart, too.

The one product I love is my perfume; I have my favourite which regularly gets positive comments on and people striking up conversations with me is Addict by Dior.

Most everything that is from Avon I like, easy to use and available.

I use the Aveeno Positively Radiant cleanser.  I do use the moisturizer too, but mostly use the Neova  products like the Hydromoist Creme and the Toner Cream.  I use Neutrogena One Step Gentle Cleanser to remove makeup with baby wipes, its a snap.  Ill also use Cetaphil  Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion.  I have found that a product called Phsician's Formula "Skin Lightening Cream" to be the only product to help get rid of dark pigment under the eyes, but it is only available through a plastic surgeon or derma clinic that sells it.  I have not been able to find it online.  Its in a 1oz pump bottle.  I work for myself with a healthfood and supplement distributor and i will say..work on the body from the inside out...Eat right, plenty of dark green veggies, no bad fats, no refined sugars, fried foods..eat clean, and exercise, especially getting cardio in at least 5 days a wk.  I do alot of supplementation combined with exercise.

My number one most valualble beauty find are MAC Pigments in place of any eyeshadow palates, cremes, or otherwise. I use MAC Creme color base in luna as a holding/binding agent to apply the pigmnts on top of. You get sticker shock at a MAC counter/pro shop, but the thing is their  dry products like pigments won't go bad & come in strenths/quantities that last for yrs. You find one pigment you like & it will last for yrs & are spectacular in color & texture compared to ordinary eyeshadow palates.
