~Girly thread~

hey, i like cigars, porn and scratching myself too.


ok to the girlies, what products are you using for basic skincare? i am starting to notice the fine lines and the just plain icky skin...it isn't as fresh and young looking as i like. i have a microdermabrasion planned, seems harmless enough. any other ideas?
 
^ I want some microdermabrasion action! Lemme know how that turns out. :)

Um ... are you using a good exfoliant and moisturizing afterward? I'm surprised at how many girls I know moan about dull skin. Many of them exfoliate, but I find that moisturizing right after makes my skin nice and soft and keeps it like that for a while. Same thing with masks; I use a clay mask that is quite drying (I have fairly oily skin, less so as I get older) and I find that moisturizing immediately afterward keeps it soft and makes it look "fresher."
 
I use Oil of Olay moisturizers for both morning and night (the AM one has SPF in it, the PM one is specifically a night cream). I use them because I saw a TV segment that conducted an informal study on which product lines actually did what they promised. Out of all the major brand names the ones that came up the most as actually working were Lancome and Oil of Olay. I have no complaints so far. I don't really have any fine lines so I can't tell you whether or not the moisturizers help with those (I'm hoping to preempt those, lol).

i use cheap exfolliants, and a basic moisturizer....i have oily skin too and this is the first time i have begun to use a moisturizer religiously...and i am using keri, it seems light, unlike anything else i have ever used that i spent a lot of money on....i used it on accident after using my aging grandmas stuff that she got from the doc for her sensitive skin.

i'll check out the products you mentioned dreamgirlie. and take into consideration yours too fruity and let you know :D
 
I know this is the girly thread but I have a problem with oily skin too and virtually the only thing that has helped is every morning I shave then wash very thoroughly with bar soap using one of those scrunchy thingies then immediately after put on a really thin layer of neosporin which I wipe off an hour or so later with a damp paper towel. the neosporin has made all the difference in the world and my skin has been 100x better lately.
 
^^^

Neosporin is an Antibiotic Ointment, used to help prevent infection in open wounds. Why would you be using this for your oily skin???

I'm confused...
 
Hmmm ok

Neosporin is an Antibiotic cream, used to either help fight infection or to prevent infection for forming in open wounds ect. Not only can you build up a resistants to the cream, it is a medication and should only be used as directed by a Physician. Side effects can included

* Sensitisation or allergic reactions

*Applying this medicine to large areas of skin will increase the risk of side effects such as hearing damage.
 
anyone else becoming a big fan of sunsilk? i've gotten a couple of samples and i'm thinking i might have to retire my redken.

also, john frieda's frizz-ease corrective styling mouse is one of the best products...ever.

m.a.c.'s eyeshadow "romp" is my most favorite color. it brings out all the other colors in my seemingly plain brown eyes.

and...i'm done.

Yeah I know about those but thankfully they are relatively rare side effects and I don't seem to have them. =)
 
Anyone out there super pale? What foundation do you use? I can't find a foundation and powder that doesn't turn my face a little orange- I have heard MAC has some good pale girl makeup but wanted some other opinions.... anybody?

that's like my urban decay chopper. BEST. EYESHADOW. EVER. to this day, i get compliments. it's insane!

i also much recommend my favorite line in general: bourjois. i stick with their mascaras usually- the volume glamour and the pump up the volume waterproof. great mascaras, great lipgloss (not sticky, really shiny), great line!
 
I have a bit of a shoe obsession... I just bought my 7th pair in about a month... that really doesnt have anything to do with anything here but I enjoy talking about it and this seems like a good place for it where other people might understand :) If anyone has some good places to buy shoes that arent horribly expensive, it would be highly appriciated.

Also, you know the conditioner you get in boxes of hair dye? the really deep conditioners? Does anyone know of a way of getting those in bigger bottles and without the hairdye? My friend used to dye her hair all the time but would never use those so she'd give them to me, I used them once or twice a week for like 2 months and my hair has never felt better. She doesnt dye her hair as much anymore and I dont want to waste the money on the whole box to just get the conditioner. I also really like the smell of them. I've tried other deep conditioners and they leave my hair feeling gross, almost like it isnt rinsed all the way, no matter how long I rinse it for. So anyway, anyone know of any good deep conditioners?
 
Oh, some things I forgot to mention for those of you with skin problems, particularly oily skin. The Body Shop has a line of tea tree oil products that are absolutly amazing and feel really nice on the skin. There is a spot treatment that, I swear, the little brush at the end is like a magic wand. It makes zits disappear almost overnight, sometimes 2 if its a particularly stubborn one.

Also, a little home remedy, if you have oily skin, dont use silk or satin or any material like that for your pillowcases, and if you change your pillowcase every night (or you can flip it over and change it every other night) your skin will clear up and stay clear easier. Simple, easy, and free!

I love that color too!
 
i've seen ads for garnier's new skincare line and decided to try it out. i bought this:

the nutri-pure cream cleanser from the garnier nutritioniste line. i LOVE it :) i've only used it a couple of times so i can't really say how good the effects are, but, it feels nice going on and makes my face feel really clean and not over-dried. so i like it :)

lately i've been using biore warming black-head cleanser and while the self-heated cleanser seemed cool at first, it wasn't really all that great in the end. plus my skin was really dry after using it, when generally if anything, its more on the oily side.

i LOVE those conditioner things. Whenever one of my housemates or someone in my family dyes their hair i snatch them away. I wish i could get some bottles of the stuff, it makes my hair *mmmmm* like no other! At the moment im using ones from packets of hair dye, a bit at a time, about once a week, but i dont think anyones planning on dying their hair anytime soon so im running low again...
 
i may try some of those eyeshadows you guys are raving about. i can NOT for the life of me put the shit on though. i always wear liner, and maybe a creamy shadow, but i can't apply it well enough to use dark colors :( my eyelids just don't work with it very well.
