Baby Products

Because I, like most youth obsessed women, am a sucker for beauty products, years ago I bought Paula Begoun's "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." I talked about it first here. For years, I used this make-up Bible to clean out old products and purchase new non-irritating make-up. Well, Paula just came out with the 7th edition of the book and even though we do not have it yet, you can view some youtube clips of her book tour here. Knowledge is power.

We also use her face products because they are basic and inexpensive. We even just started using her shampoo, which is great, and in our last order DG got me some of her constant color lip paint which I love so much that I just bought a bunch more colors because it is on clearance for $5!

Now I am going through and looking at the baby products that she reviews. I am just so annoyed with stupid companies making crap products for us to put on a baby's skin. Why do they call it "sensitive skin formula" when they've put a bunch of ingredients in it that cause irritation? It's more annoying than poison oak on a hot summer day. You can read the baby product reviews here. The main one that I see we use is Butt Paste. We got it mostly for the great name, but have been using it occasionally if Hadley gets a little red. We've been lucky that she hasn't gotten full blown diaper rash. **knock on the diaper changer** But now we have to toss it.
