~Girly thread~

i read some interesting critiques of this watchdog groups site.

it might be okay as a baseline, but i personally don't consider lecithin a threat.

*shrug*
 
^^ yeah i agree.. i take it with a grain of salt. i mean, i'd have to throw out all of my makeup and hair stuff if i abided by that site.
 
Almost every perfume I've ever tried has given me a headache. I generally don't like them anyway, so no big loss. I tend to stick to light, fruity/sweet body sprays. They don't give me headaches, they're not overpowering, and they can be applied throughout the day (like after I smoke:|) without 'building' up and becoming too strong.

Also - am I the only person that finds bare escentuals (and other mineral makeup) to *not* be the amazing product everyone says it is??
 
I have Urban Decay's mineral makeup and when I had it professionally applied I loved it, but I can't figure out how to make it look the same way myself. :(
 
My two scents which I *love*

calvin-klein-in2u.jpg


Calvin Klein - CKin2u

and

light-blue-w.jpg


Dolce & Gabbana - Light Blue

I enjoy lighter scents. :)
 
^ I used up a couple of Light Blue bottles myself in the last several years.
My dad gave me this cologne a couple of days ago (its not something I'd buy for myself)
and I am actually liking it very much, although it doesnt last very long!

DID NOT LIKE
P193225_hero.jpg

The instructions are clear however I did not like the result. Perhaps it is because I am not used to such a heavy eye.
 
ok - i'm boring :)
all i use these days is Chandrika soap for hairwashing and Nutiva Virgin Coconut Oil for skin moisturizing. i do love to soak in epsom salts with lavender oil in it - and then moisturize with the coconut oil. sometimes i put coconut oil on my hair and leave it in overnight and then wash it out the next day.
before this i was a Burt's Bees product junkie. at one time i had practically everything they made. THEN they got bought out by clorox and i couldn't bring myself to use their products any more. right now i am in love with the tropical sparkly lip balm by Chap Stick however... mmmm coconut and pineapple..... and probably animal testing :(

my bf really wishes i would go back to my Burt's Bees Products because he loved the way they smelled.... go figure.... he bought me hundreds of dollars of them because he thought it was so cool that they smelled so good and he loved me 'primping' in front of the mirror even though he always teased me about it...
he was an enabler - always do you want to order some more Burt's Bees Products sweetie!!!
funny, huh?
oh - i forgot - i LOVE to use Miracle Whip as an exfoliating mask! just spread some on and wait 10 minutes and then start rubbing your skin in little circles and balls of dead skin come off! it actually works better than anything else i have yet to try!
try it! it is almost free - and it really works! if i use it several days in a row my skin starts looking like my skin did when i was in my 20's which is saying a lot because now i am 49....

i really don't enjoy perfume. the only kind i really like is cool water (men's) and i buy this for my bf - but i only like it if he uses it sparingly - which he doesn't know how to do - LOL

for me i prefer sandalwood oil or patchouli - usually a mix. or just plain lavender oil.
the older i get the less i can even tolerate perfumes and my body chemistry is such that even if a perfume smells good in the bottle or on cotton - once i put it on - it stinks!!!

Cool Water reminds me of my old room mates farts. That is the cologne he wore at the time. I swear he rimmed his ass with it.
 
funny about the farts thing. i actually know what you mean!!! my bf will put on AXE deodorant to cover up his smell of KB and i swear that his farts smell like it!!! i guess he sprays the axe (which i hate btw) on his ass!!!

oh - i just tried the new chapStick true shimmer lip balm in Tropical and i really like it.
and i still use some of Burt's Bees lip shimmers and their regular lip balm and also the rescue balm. i just hate that they were bought out by Clorox. BUT - i have also noticed that clorox is getting a little 'greener' lately - so maybe BB is having a good effect on clorox.... now if they can get them to quit animal testing i would be happy!!!

has anyone else noticed much more plastic usage by BB these days? i mean i used to use their baby bee (smells heavenly) apricot baby oil and it used to be in glass bottles and now is in plastic....

oh and i have to say that at least BB is pretty non-poisonous and is available everywhere - which is good because now the masses can get products without parabens and chemicals and no animal testing. so that is good. i am just picky about who i give my money to and feel bad when i give money to a 'parent' company like clorox..... i used to buy BB because it was made by a small company that did god things with their money.

anybody know a good place to get shoes that are like the ones in this picture?

they don't have to be exactly those.. but i can't find who made those.. anything similar would be awesome!
 
I'm not sure which part of those shoes you like best or are looking for specifically, but there are some that are *kind of* similar here:

http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=37075&pid=660880&scid=660880002
http://www.piperlime.com/browse/product.do?cid=26651&pid=638800&scid=638800012

and if you scroll down near the bottom of this page, thats where most of those were:

i've been using mineral makeup for a couple of years now. i use stuff from aromaleigh. they have a great site. actually took the recommendation from miss fairnymph herself.

their stuff works for me, but i had to buy a $20 kabuki brush to help me out. it desn't have that "glowy" "shimmery" look either- i dig!
