Hair
Shampoo: Kirkland Signature Moisture Shampoo about $7
Conditioner: None
Hair Treatment: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Recovery Hair Mask $6
Styling Products: Giovanni Frizz Be Gone $5 and CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray $14
I'm iffy about the shampoo; it smells really really nice (according to MakeupAlley.com, it's comparable to Pureology) and fairly cheap. But, as it is a moisturizing shampoo, I feel that after a day it sometimes makes my hair look greasy when it's not. I don't use conditioner, so no comment about that :P I really like the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair Mask! It was reccomended to me by my mom's friend, and it's seriously amazing. I use it once a week, and it leaves my hair absolutely silky. It's also really cheap :) The Giovanni Frizz Be Gone is ehhh. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't. By that I mean, sometimes it visibly reduces frizz and makes my hair look shiny, other times it just makes my hair look greasy. I love the CHI Iron Guard. I use it whenever I use my straightener.

Eyes
Eye Treatment: RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream $10 and Studio Gear Affirmation Multi-Effect Eye Gel $38
Eyeliner: Ulta Automatic Eyeliner $7
Mascara: Clinique High Lengths Mascara $15 and Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara $14
The retinol eye cream is to reduce wrinkles around the eye. I have a few, hopefully unnoticeable wrinkles around my eye; the eye cream mainly serves to prevent future wrinkles. The eye gel reduces puffiness and dark circles. The automatic eyeliner is also waterproof and is amazing :D It stays on for a very long time and hardly (if ever) smudges. Ulta sometimes has these eyeliners on sale for only $1 each, and that's when I stock up. I use two mascaras; one for volume and one for length. I guess I can't say these are my HG mascaras because they're not that amazing. Yes, they do lengthen/provides volume. However, they sometimes clump, so I'm still searching for the perfect mascara...I want to try Maybelline's Full 'N Soft mascara!
Face
Lotion: Amway Essentials Balancing Lotion $20
Liquid Foundation: None
Powder Foundation: Bare Minerals SPF Foundation $17
Concealer: Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer $42
Blush: Estee Lauder Tender Blush in Fresh Plum $28
Highlighter: e.l.f. Studio Shimmer Palette
The Amazy Balancing Lotion is a must for me; my skin can be very dry during the winter. I also use this in the summer, as it contains SPF! I don't use liquid foundation. I feel that caking makeup on skin can be very harmful. I do use a little powder foundation-I must emphasize the word little. I use literally a pinch of powder only because my face can be a bit oily sometimes. Don't ask me why I spent $42 on the Amazing Concealer...it's highly pigmented and I've been using it everyday for the past year and a half. I must admit, I can see myself purchasing it again. But I don't like the $42 price tag ><"

I LOVE the mango butter lip balm. I usually don't like Burt's Bees lip balms because they tend to dry my lips out. This lip balm was the one exception! It moisturizes and smells really good. And of course, My Beauty Diary masks will always be HG. I haven't tried every single kind yet, but I've tried at least 5 different kinds, and love them all. I have been using the Ponds makeup remover/cleanser for a while now, and it works well. I have to rinse my face afterward though, because it's really really greasy...but it works! I think I have a really old version of the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume. The bottle that I have looks a little different from the ones that turn up on Google Images. I can't say I'm surprised; this was originally my mom's but she doesn't like to wear perfume so I took it :P It's light and wonderful.
And there you go! My list of HG products :) What are your HG beauty products?
