~Girly thread~

Not open for further replies.
I broke down and ordered Murad Essential-C Eye Cream SPF 15 ($65/.5 oz). I hope it works. I read that creams with caffiene do a better job with puffiness.

My eyes look worse (edema/darkness) after taking Trazodone to sleep compared to when I wasn't sleeping well. WTF? My glasses hide most of this...I hope.

Squirt, you might want to try their Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment ($75/.5oz). They have a 60 day money back guarantee. Empty bottle. No questions asked. www.murad.com

I will be back in 30 days with a product review.

Has anyone had their brows threaded?

I'm getting this done tomorrow, and I'm wondering what the pain aspect will be.

OUCH! I thought the pain was worse than waxing because it was continous-like 7 min of straight pain. OW But my friends have all told me that I'm a pussy and it doesn't hurt that much WHATEVER
 
I just want to say that the level of knowledge some of the lady (and I assume transexual) bluelighters posess that is shown on this thread leads me to conclude that if MDMA was made from hair/body/skin proucts then the market would be awash with stuff like 'Getreal (sponsered by L'Oreal) brand heat-defence DMT', 'Dtergent X (now with X) brought to you by The Body Shop or 'The Fairynymph happy-clappy substituted phentermine slimming hour brought to you in conjunction with Diet Coke & The Merck Index'.

Right here we could have a thread shot through with pugetive 'meth baron(ess)es, it's an overlooked resource, a criminal shame! The DEA would stick out like a sore thumb at a Body Shop trying to see if some perople are smurfing all the 'Seaweed Skin Wash' in conjunction with the 'Happy Feet' mint foot balm that allows 'CLEAN bath-tub' crank to be made in large quantities...

If you can understand what the HELL is in all those beauty products then knocking up some LSD could not possibly cause you to break into a sweat (I mean healthy glow) whereus the straight guys here might be able to plot a dopamine binding survey with Ramen Spectography but I bet they just use the soap nearest them while they are in the bath, ay?! It's an odd disparity, don't you all think? We are all chemical nerds, just different chemicals. There is many a man with limp hair & chipped fingernails who can make Kg batches of 2CB and a fun-loving party chick who looks a million dollers and pays about that for a line of cocaine to avoid having to buy from 'the dealer whose pants and belt don't match' (because it's so LAST YEAR, he can't be doing well so I couldn't trust HIS stuff...)

I've thrown myself to the wolves, now please, a clean bite to the neck to end it quickly.

Sean ;-)

PS If you havn't checked it yet, don't be surprised that the 'advanced chemistry' forum is like a tree-house for spotty adolecent boys (mostly). We all draw the super planes,cars & molecules we want to drive 'when/if we grow up'.

Threading the brows isn't that big a deal but, like CC, I found the upper lip threading too painful to ever do again! I get the same results with waxing, anyway.

Squirt: My mom just ordered some new Avon dark circle treatment for me. I'll let ya know if I see any results. :\
 
I didn't end up getting threaded yet - have to be thriftier until the next paycheck so I postponed the appointment until next weekend. But by that time my period will have come and gone, so I can get a bikini wax at the same time. :) What's the pain like compared to a Brazilian? That kind of pain is tolerable to me.

I found a new product over the weekend, though. It's a sulfate free body wash (gave up all sulfate products but one which cannot be replaced). It's made by "Collective Wellbeing" and contains (of all things) Active Charcoal and Zinc. Living in the city gets my skin full of environmental pollutants, so I can use all the purification I can get. You can find it here if you want to give it a try, or if you have a Bristol Farms, they carry it. It's dark gray in the bottle, but does not stain the shower or a body puff.

My skin does feel a little more pure and soft, and it's also certified organic. Pricey for sure at $12, but worth it.
 
Oooooh off topic buttttttt....
I just got my hair highlighted for the first time in years, and, needless to say, its pretty fried. I got foils throughout my hair (which stylists usually stay away from because its so damaging) and i was worried that i wanst going to be able to find a conditioner that would let me put a comb through it.
Wellll I bought some of that Sheer Blonde stuff from John Frieda and it is FANTASTIC. My hair looks and feels better now that its bleached then it did natural and it was an absolute breeze to comb through. I STRONGLY reccommend biting the bullet and spending the 4.50 on it if your a bottle blonde...this stuff is great!

You know, you're wrong. I'm a hairstylist and we never try to stay away from foils because it's damaging. For one, it isn't the foil that's damaging to the hair..it's the chemicals in your actual hair color and in your case, bleach.


I would strongly recomend NOT bleaching all of your hair if you're already worried about how damaged it is. The reason your hair could feel soft is because the cuticle was blown out and makes it feel, almost fluffy? Yeah, fluffy is a good word. Something you can check the next time you take a shower, if your hair stretches a lot when it's wet...stop bleaching it. It means you're fucking up your elasticity in your hair and begging for breakage.



Just trying to help :\
 
p.s. The reason we use foils is because it better uses the natural heat from your head to process the color/bleach. Which is <i> less</i> damaging than putting you under a dryer.

just picked up some smashbox photofinish foundation primer.
super pricey, but i really think it's worth it. ooh la la! so effing soft and smooth.

I just started using this. Worth the $36 US price tag. It goes on silky. My powder foundation looks better. At least I think it does and that's all that matters!

but yeah - your stylist stays away from foils because he/she is... frugal. for lack of better words.

yara how's it workin' out for you?
 
^ The bitch Avon lady just returned with our order yesterday so I will be trying it tonight! God, I hope to find something that works ... my mom uses Hylexin, and it has made just a little bit of a difference but it's also somewhat pricey. If this Avon stuff doesn't work I think I'm gonna try the Hylexin.
 
I've been using the Avon stuff morning and night for about a week now and I don't see any difference (it promises results in 7 days, lol). I should've taken some before and after pics to compare, but I really don't think it matters. I'll probably continue using this for a while since I already have it but I think I'll give Hylexin a try next. Not that it's going to work wonders or anything; if your dark circles are genetic, as mine are, your best bet is to invest in a good concealer. Maybe we should be talking about concealer instead. =D

squirt- i've never had any luck with dark-circle reduction and mine are super bad.

i've just resorted to concealer. i use clinique's camoflage concealer. it's super thick, but it works the best.

here's my recommendation, fruitfly. ;)
 
^ Cheers. :)

One that I've used before and will get again this weekend is a concealer by Yves Saint Laurent that comes with a little applicator brush already in the tube so it's easy to apply on the go. I've been using a much cheaper one from the Body Shop and haven't been satisfied with the result. The YSL concealer is a bit pricey (around $40) but it's worth it.
 
I dont know if I mentioned this before but I love Tarte- the eraser. It works really well for circles and pimples too.
