What are YOUR best beauty finds for 2014??

I bought the Lacura Q10 and retinol night cream many months ago, because of a suggestion on this forum! SO glad I did, its around $5 for 1.7 oz. Its available at Aldi's and is always sold out. Its made in Germany~ Anyway, I can say my wrinkles around my eyes, between my nose and mouth have greatly diminished! It feels light on the skin, not at all oily. I'm in my 60's, have normal and sensitive skin. No issues. I also like Andalou 1000 roses foaming skin cleanser and 1000 roses skin gel for sensitive skin. The rose scent is divine! None of these products are pricey. I've worked in the skin care industry for some high end cosmetic companies (Lancome, Lauder, Dior, Clinique, Givenchy, etc) What I've learned is paying MORE doesn't mean its a better product! I used to be a cosmetic junkie, I had drawers of samples which I got at work..most of them got trashed..you can only use so many products. At least it helped me curb my addiction..lol! I've moved onto clothes now..looking to spend at high end resale shops, estate sales, ebay etc. I LOVE saving money and this is the year I want to stop with all the spending..my cc's are screaming! I won't be watching the shopping channels as much either, I get caught up in all the hype! Hope this helps others that have overspent this Christmas! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My absolute favorite is my EmJoi ! My feet now always feel like I have just had a spa pedicure! Another favorite is Clarins Extra-Comfort foundation which leaves my skin incredibly soft and smooth and looks completely natural. It's definitely helping my skin through these cold dry winter days. Finally, seeing a plastic surgeon and taking his advice to use a combination of Retin A and Obagi Blender with hydroquinone at night to brighten and even out my skin tone and to boost collagen to firm my skin. Happy New Year to all my fellow skincare junkies

Peels-Ole Henriksen's and Dr. Dennis Gross'-no rosacea flares either, but leaves my skin so clean.
