anyone have recommendations for a moisutirizng sunscreen that doesnt make you break out?
Click to expand...

ROC Age Diminishing Daily Moisturizer SPF 15.
I have sensitive skin. The entire ROC line works well for me. I tried Aveeno.
My skin care products took the age defying turn around 27.
 
poopie,

I have 3 full sized eyeshadows (and plan to get a few more) and a full sized powder (that is a perfect match for my very hard to match skin tone!) from aromaleigh. I love their stuff. I've never tried BE so I can't compare, but AL is awesome.
 
Clinique has one of the best skincare lines around.. go to a Clinique boutique and ask for a moisturizer with spf and she'll recommend a good one for you
 
I got the Aveeno one and like it a lot. They apparently have a whole line of different moisturizers for the face with spf 15, or 30. Age defying ones, glowing ones, etc etc. $14 is a lot for 2.5 oz but i tried it and like it :)

FYI for those who like Hemp lotion, at Walmart the other day i saw a brand that isnt the brand name hemp lotion but i tried some and it worked well. Suoer soft :)
 
Now that it's SUPER hot I swear by my baby powder:
Johnsons Baby Powder in Lavender & Chamomile

and Johnsons Baby Powder in Forever Fresh (Milk back here)

^Seriously - nothing is better in hot weather than baby powder. I can only use the Johnson's cornstarch kind as I'm sensitive to talc, but I love it.

Burt's Bees now makes SHAMPOO and conditioner. I bought the "Grapefruit and Sugar Beet" variety of shampoo. It is sulfate-free (vegetable based cleansers), cleans well without stripping my haircolor, leaves my hair super shiny, and smells like a citrus grove. I'm going blonder in about 2 weeks, we'll see how it performs then.

Clicky

I saw it at Walgreens (of all places lol).

I also bought 2 lip balms, one for the bf (he wanted something minty and not girly even though he's a bit of a metro ;)) so I got him Beeswax Peppermint Lip Balm and one for me: Honey Lip Balm.

The Beeswax Peppermint stuff is AMAZING. The Honey stuff sucks, it goes on very dry. :D I'm going back to exchange it for the stuff I got him tomorrow.
 
I am addicted to the mint one! But the honey one is horrible, which sucks cause I love honey and smell/taste is awesome, but the formulation is clearly different and terrible.

I want to try the shampoo really badly...they just came out with a body wash too that I bought, I'll try it as soon as my current one runs out.

Can you direct me to what I should purchase as a starter kind of thing from this site? I loathe traditional foundation, but I need to even out my skin tone (and conceal my lovely undereye bags) and I'd love to try some mineral makeup. The website is all greek to me :(
 
baby powder is fabbb esp now with the warm weather, I totally agree

and seriously who doesn't use Burts Bee's lip balms.. most of my friends and I have the same one! I'll definitely try the shampoos+conditioners!
 
I finally got to splurge a bit and bought myself some new Body Shop stuff.....the Papaya Body Butter is amazing!! Super yummy.

I know it's odd but I've been buying the oil meant for a ROOM and using it on myself 8( It just smells so good! (plus im not allergic in anyway :p) . L'Occitane Vanilla and Body Shop Calm Water is soooooo nice.
 
The smell of baby powder reminds me of the smell of babies' shit or old people covering up the smell of defecation. Not so nice in the summer heat, IMO.
 
Has anyone tried that Jergen's Natural Glow lotion? I want to take the edge off of my ghostly whiteness, but I don't really want to "tan" - just not blind people.
 
i found the jergens natural glow to have too strong of a perfumed scent. loreal sublime glow has a better, more muted scent. both work pretty well if you're just looking to take the pasty edge off. the sublime glow seems to be a little less strong but that's good if you want to prevent putting too much on at once.

IMO there's a huge difference between a nice fresh baby powder scent (it always smells good on me bleah :p) and an old , musty, dead flower old person scent that smells like AnaisAnais (in other words, disgusting.)
My baby powder always smells fresh and clean on me .
 
Also, i wanted to mention that i went to the body shop and got the seaweed line samples... it doesn't seem to be doing anything for the amount of oil on my face tho... ah well. It cleans pretty nice tho :)



Does anyone have suggestions on a blackhead/pore clearing scrub or something. I've been using all Biore stuff hoping consistancy on something that treats blackheads would work. but no change. It's not pimples or anything like that.. just clogged pores that look (to me anyway no one else notices so they say) so gross and black.. blech. I'm sure it's just the oily skin clogging my face. This is only on my nose and chin.

The original poster sucks my ass!!

haha i am the one who threw the fit that it was gone!! lol


anyway.. i wanted to mention

Jergens Natural Glow Lotion to you guys.
My mom is getting married at the end of the month, and my maid of honour dress is black, and i am very pale (cause it's winter) and i didn't want to look dead.. so i tired this lotion. It's a full body lotion that has a little bit of self tanner in it.. and it works awesome. I used it twice a day for 4 days and looked tan (other people noticed then) but not fake bottle or fake-n-bake tan.. just a healthy glow. It's also not so strong that you can see any streak lines or dark spots as you can if you fuck up with a self tanner.

it does have that raw potato smell of the self tanners, but it's not as strong. I will try to take pics when i get home so you can see the difference since i started using it.
(it's been over a week now.. and i haven't gotten darker)

I used the one for fair skin, and i have really sensitive skin but this didn't bother my face. Took about 8 application to kick in, is a good moisturizer as well. I would recommend it, if you want a healthy tan look (not a vacation tan i dont think it's formulated to get that dark), especially if you don't like to be in the sun or if you're in winter like i am.. lol :)

Thanks for the reviews! I am now a much more informed shopper!
 
I haven't tried the Jergens or any other brands so I can't compare it to anything, but I just got Dove Energy Glow and it has a nice light scent and works well.
 
.:Hair curlers?:.

Hey guys, I have a fancy dress party on next weekend and I'm wearing a beautiful flowing gold medi-evil dress [sleeping beauty].
I want to curl the ends of my long dark hair so I end up with soft full curls as opposed to my usual dead straight [with the help of a straightener] or slightly wavy [au naturale].

I'll only use them that one night and then maybe occasionally after that, so I don't want to spend a great deal.
I'm thinking some large plastic rollers might do the job?
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience as to what type of curlers to use?
 
I tried the Jergens stuff, but it ended up getting really streaky after a few weeks of using it. :(
