~Girly thread~

Not open for further replies.
I feel kinda stupid posting cause I'm not really a girly-girl- but I think someone might know the answer to this one. I hope!

My hair is breaking on top of my head- you know, little, broken, small pieces sticking up.:( :(

WHY and how to stop or repair?????????

Hasn't ever happened until 2 months ago.

I stopped washing my hair everyday- that didnt fix it.:X
 
im going to buy the frizz ease shampoo tomorrow, if that dosent do it then i will order the jasmine oil. thanks for the help.

i have another one :) my face is all of the sudden breaking out(in the past 2 weeks) I have NEVER had this happen before (more than 1 or 2 at a time)
I haven't changed cleaners or made any changes...any suggestions???
 
no the shampoo leaves my hair super clean. i don't use the normal serum on my hair, because it looks a little gacky, i use the serum mist stuff by them....it's so good.=D
 
Time to bump the girly thread!

Before I spend $40 on this stuff, I want to know if it's a gimmick. I am DEATHLY afraid of looking older, and I have money left on a Macy's gift card I need to spend.

Should I spend it on Clarins Expertise 2P Mist? (that is - does electromagnetic radiation - cell phones, computers, etc, cause premature aging, and would this stuff help?)

It seems like a gimmick but if it's not, it's too awesome a possibility not to explore for those of us who have jobs that require a lot of computer use.
 
Do you use eye cream and a night cream? If not, invest in that first.
I wouldn't bother with the mist. Although, I have no experience with the product.
 
I do indeed use an eye product: The Body Shop's Elderflower Eye Gel

I have weird skin. It's oily but not really acne-prone, and it is prone to redness even beyond the fact that I have a ruddy complexion. I've tried creamier eye stuff and it bugs me... the gel works awesome.

I use an off brand 4% AHA solution to moisturize at present. I have another gift card from Nordstrom that I intend to use on a REALLY GOOD moisturizer. If I can get the time today, I plan to do a trial of various moisturizers over the course of the week - just basically go talk to the makeup ladies (which I hate doing for a combination of reasons) and get them to give me samples and let them paint me like a fucking clown if they want.

The moisturizer I use is adequate but is starting to make my skin more red and flaky. I went from a tropical climate to a cold-ish semi-arid climate and now I can't get glycolic peels anymore. :( So I'm updating most parts of my regimen.
 
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.

also, for those with curly hair: redken's spin control leave-in conditioner does wonders.
 
that foundation primer sounds awesome. i have never been really into makeup before, but this past year or so, it has been more important, and just today i was bitching about a few lines that look WORSE with makeup. that sounds like just what i need. (besides botox lol)

they have some neat stuff on that smashbox site....i like the natural blusher.

if you use straightners, thats probably the cause. try heat defence products etc and turn straightner temp down.

my sister FRIED her hair with her straightners and had to get loads cut off!
 
Any ideas on stuff to thicken your hair naturally? In the last few years my hair is thinner than it ever was and I hate the thickening products for some reason they make my hair feel weird. It isnt like I am going bald just want the same fullness I used to have.
 
Jasmine is my fav scent. Jillian~that stuff looks yummy.

I've recently purchased a nice red lipstick called Red Earth. It's just the right mix of blues and red/orangeys, but its a little too wet. Does anyone have a favorite red? I've heard the MAC's Ruby Woo is excellent and very matte.
 
I look horrible with red lipstick. I can only wear pinks. Very very light colors.

I am too much of a damn tomboy... it sucks. grrr.
 
^ Yup, and it's fairly painful if you're not used to it. Where are you going to get it done?

Has anyone had their brows threaded?

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

Yeah I used to have my brows threaded all the time. I love it. The girl usually puts a topical gel before threading to soothe.....you can also try having ice on hand and a mild painkiller may help :D

IMHO (and my experience) threading isnt much worse than waxing....(although I would never thread my upper lip again! ouch! just my eyebrows pls).
 
ok so i'm about to get lasik which means my eyes won't be hiding behind glasses anymore. my doctor told me that forcing your eyes to see through glasses can change the shape, cause the muscles around your eyes are straining with the way the light is refracted into them. i've noticed my eyes are MUCH smaller than they used to be. it looks like i have bags under them, even though i really don't.

while i'm waiting for my eyes to re-adjust to not wearing glasses, can anyone recommend a good anti-dark-circle-and-bag cream to reduce the size of my lower lids in the meantime (even though i can't use anything for a week or so after the surgery)? i dunno if it'll work, but i'm pretty self-conscious of it and since they won't have glasses to hide behind anymore, i wanna try and do something about it.....

p.s. i don't touch my eyebrows, so i have nothing to contribute to the above. ;)
 
Fruitfly - I'm going where you go! :) I went on their website, realized they did threading and they're a lot closer to home than where I used to go.

If the pain is comparable to waxing, I should be able to handle it.
 
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.
