^Check the site daily for deals - it may end up being $33 US with tax as I paid once they drop the price again. It is very high quality and super comfy, while having a stylish shape and pretty colors. I don't know what postage is like to Aus but it weighs two pounds and ships directly from the factory, in addition to being available in several colors.

Has two awesome inside pockets too!
 
I buy almost all my clothes 2nd hand... but I always end up with stuff like Old Navy and American Eagle. I guess I have good taste but I NEVER shop by brands.

I also buy almost everything 2nd hand, but I pretty much shop for brands. I'll just keep going to thrift stores and scanning the tags for brands that would cost a lot new. It took me over a year to find a replacement for a pair of American Eagle jeans I ruined once; to find the right size, and one that didn't have pre-torn holes in it.

The caffeine is supposed to reduce puffiness not dark circles AND it doesn't work.
Ice pack to the eyes work better.

Is it a particular product you found didn't work?

I don't know about under eye puffiness but I do know that caffeine has been studied for use in body products for other things and proved beneficial-
I make a body scrub with coffee grinds and I love it-
Here are a couple articles on coffee body products
One source

Another article


THIS ARTICLE says that (from New Scientist magazine) it has been studied and shown to be an anti-inflammatory thing which is why it works well for cellulite too- this suggests to me it may be good for puffy under eyes!?!?!

The scrubs I make have alot of other things in them (essential oils and such) so it is hard to say which product does what- but my skin always feels tighter, msoother, and looks better when I use the scrub.
My mother swears by it and says people commented on her face saying it looked like she had work done- Her face looked healthier, more firm and brighter......
 
So it looks like the new OPI Hong Kong selection has been released! I'm eager to get quite a few bottles from this range.

I LOVE the look of this green, Jade is the New Black.

I have Greenwich Village but it's not the best consistency and tends to take 2 heavy coats before its opaque. Also, I've been looking for a lovely blue-based green for a while.

Also, this blue looks gorgeous! It's called Suzie Says Feng Shui.

I don't have such a rich darker blue in my collection and I need it, damnit!

The other three colours are quite sheer and are all glitzy metallic shades which I'm not really into. My bank balance will be happy about that, at least. ;)
 
Oh lordy lou!! I absolutely LOVE that jade colour! Must have. Now.

I already have about 4 different shades of blue so my boyfriend would think I was nuts if I got yet another blue haha.

That collection of colours looks so awesome C0TB! Thanks for the heads-up!
 
Im a dude but like to take apperance in myself. If i don't wash my face etc i'll get a bad complexion and like to stay fresh.

I think too many chemicals are out there, so many detremental too your skin. I pretty much Shower in just water and wash my hair with natural aloe vera shampoo that has no pararbens,sls,lanolin etc,

My face gets abit dry and i get abit OCD...again i try just to use tepid water with a soft wash cloth to get dead skin cells of and shit, then follow up with a natural moisteriser. I was using elave face wash but it left white crap on my face so stopped that. But um yeah I'm pretty envious of people with perfect skin, mines not bad but requites maintaining specially after shaves etc.
 
Hey lazygit, welcome to the girly thread! It's great you've found a natural method that keeps your skin relatively clear.
There's also the guy thread, which may have more info specific to guy's skin care and stuff.
Not saying you can't post in here though! You're more than welcome to :)
 
ha ive made apperances in others ;)

Having sensitive facial skin I use girly products ;) looking for a face cleansers is a nightmare. Its winter and my skins flaking despite moisterising.

I don't like using the chemicals in most stuff so opt for elave products, any of you guys tried this?
Its an emolliant though and seems to never come off or I over wash it.

Another thing that bothers me... Spider veins, only small ones that comes and go some permanent around the eye, very tiny but visable to me....seeems everything under the sun (including the sun worsens them) stuff like lanolin, alcohol etc. I'd like to just wash my face with a cotten pad but its got freekin lanolin in! The micro wash cloths are a tad too harsh for cleaning the crap under my eyes and I feel like im walking around with a dandruff face!!

I dont get spotty, but have to wash before going out, guess its an obsession from my teenage years when i was plagued with acne.

Ironically not washing for a few days my skin feels good, but gets greasy after awhile.

I should see a derm but doc says im fine. Spider veins have lessened greatly due to less stress but they can come back in a vengance, would like that sorted really..not to be vein (mind the pun) :D

I feel like a ponse with all this washing business, i know its 2010 and metrosexual is in but i;d love to not bover with it!
 
I don't know...for some reason I don't get the OPI thing. Perhaps I just don't have the money to spend on the stuff so I go with Wal-Mart....

Suck:(
 
It's what they use at my day spa. I would like to have the job to name the colours.
I don't paint my own nails unless it is with clear polish. They end up looking like a 6 year old did them.
 
C0TB, LOL at the Shrek collection!! Way too cute :D

What's not to "get" about it?? Have you ever tried OPI? If not, try some and you'll love it.
It's one of the best quality nail polish brands in the world and they have pretty much every single colour known to man, and the polish itself lasts for days and days and days without chipping. It's worth trying :)

Haha fair enough hun! :D
For me, polishing my nails is like meditation =D
Seriously though! I find it really relaxing.
