You've asked for an updated rundown of all my favorite products, and let me tell you, this was no small task. After combing through pages of reviews, rummaging through piles of products, and reacquainting myself with some old stand-bys, I am pleased to now bring you my New and Improved List of Favorites! It covers just about every category you can think of, but admittedly, not all of them; there are simply certain kinds of products that I do not use, so I don't have a favorite. In the next month or so I will be featuring similar lists from our hard-working Panelists, who have their own unique perspectives on makeup, skin care, hair care, and bath & body. Add up all the lists at the end and you'll have a regular encyclopedia of beauty recommendations! I hope you find this helpful as well as time and money saving. Enjoy!

(FYI: Almost all of the products listed below have already been reviewed on Cosmetic Connection, so if you'd like to learn more about any of them, just look up the review on our site. For those that do not have a review yet, it is coming soon, and I have tried to provide a URL to the site where I found it.)
