NOVEMBER 98: MAKEUP DIVA'S FAVORITE PRODUCTS
Even though Cosmetic Connection has hundreds of reviews and an extensive archive of past Cosmetic Report newsletters full of reviews, the most common question I get in email is always

"What is your favorite (insert product type here)?"

Consider this my follow-up, completely updated (from the original September 1997 feature) listing of my all-time favorites in skin care, makeup, and tools. This is a must-print for your next trip to the counters or drugstore!
