Does anyone know of a way of getting those in bigger bottles and without the hairdye?

The deep conditioners from bottled dye are so awesome! I don't know what they put in it, but the results are amazing. They make great travel samples.

I have some recommendations (from the Mario Badescu skincare line, a recent find) that I'll post soon. I get paranoid about aging around the time of my birthday so I amped up the alpha hydroxy acid regimen... and it was harsh before :)

so, 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 use satin pillowcases because they're kinder to my hair. I change all the bedding frequently and I don't think my skin has broken out any more than usual since I started using them.

Oh well, thats why home remedys are free... you get what you pay for, right? :)
 
Some new makeup Im really loving right now:

Bare Essentials- Warmth

It provides exactly what it says...warmth. Goes on nice and light plus it is mineral based!

Bare Essentials- Light

I never really wore foundation only powder and this is a powder foundation that is mineral based, has spf 15 and other stuff to help brighten and improve your skins texture. I swear by it now.

Some skincare stuff:

Dermalogica- special cleansing gel

This is the description:

A soap-free, foaming gel designed to thoroughly remove impurities without disturbing the skin's natural moisture balance. Calming Balm Mint and Lavender extracts soothe the skin, while natural Quillaja Saponaria gently foams away toxins and deep-cleanses debris. Contains no artificial fragrance or color. Professional recommendation advised.


It works REALLY REALLY well. I have tried tons of skincare lines...Murad, ProActive, Garniers new skin stuff, Clinique and nothing really worked well for me. I dont get a lot of pimples but the few I do get last weeks due to my skins hyperpigmentations issues. I have been using this facewash for approx. 2 weeks now and its amazing. I seriously recommend it. My skin looks amazing.

I also am using

Dermalogica- daily microfoliant

The description:

This unique, Rice-based enzyme powder activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes to smooth the skin and accelerate cell renewal. Our unique Skin Brightening Complex of Bearberry, Aspergillus, Grapefruit and Licorice helps to balance uneven skin pigmentation. Active agents derived from Rice Bran and Rice Extract help to regulate melanin production while micro-exfoliating dead cells. A super-soothing blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal calms inflammation, leaving the skin extraordinarily clear and refreshed. Gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Fragrance free. Professional recommendation advised.


This I have only been using for approx. 1 week and so far so good. I really like how it makes my skin so soft and I look all around more bright.

:)
 
This thread is so awesome. I'm going to have to write a bunch of these down and go shopping!

I still want to know where to get that conditioner you get in hair dye things. I found something thats supposed to be even better (amazing right?) but its insanely expensive, like $80 for an oz or something ridiculous like that.
 
i like philosophy's hope in a jar moisturizer..


i'm going to try their microdelivery peel this weekend. hope that turns out well!

Anyone else using mineral powder makeup?

I like the idea of not having to use a liquid foundation but I tend to have oily skin and wonder if this stuff is just going to wipe away.

Any brands better than another? That stuff on television (i'm thinking that's the bare essentials isn't it?) is expensive! I am pretty sure loreal just put out a line of mineral makeup.
 
I have very oily skin on my t-zone and I use the powder foundation all over then use the mieral veil over it which is supposed to help soak oil and shine while minimizing pore size too.

I went to Sephora and I bought this : http://www.sephora.com/browse/produ...d=P116619&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5737

It is $60 with a $181 value. It came with the powder foundation (2 of the regular sized bottles inside), 1 mineral veil, 1 warmth, and all the brushes for each one. Plus some video I never watched lol.

I REALLY love the stuff...been using it every day and my family even asked me at different times in the last week what am I doing differently because my face looks awesome :)
 
Ok, so I'm TERRIBLE at doing my hair. The only thing I know how to do is blow dry it upside down, and then straightening it to get rid of all the fly aways! My hair is really fine, so I don't really know what to do with it. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Or know of a way of making fine hair look more full? Or even any special ways of styling hair? Anything will help...I'm so sick of the same ol flat hair do every single day.

I use bare minerals. I honestly would not use anything else ever again! It's so amazing and it looks so natural. Not to mention it's realllllly good for your skin. Even without my make-up my skin glows just from using it. I highly recommend it. You'll never go back to liquid I swear! ;)
 
i really want to try that bare minimals. i watch the commercials and drool, but didn't want to buy it in case it was bullshit. now that i know one person likes it, i am totally getting it now. i hate makeup, but i have thin skin, so need it if i don't tan. or else you can see the veins and bags under my eye, blech.

edit, is the product in the infomercials the same you can purchase at sephora? i want to make sure i order what others have actually used and love.

i just hate ordering makeup online, i don't know if i need light or medium.

my hair is incredibly thick, so i don't know from experience, but i do know that each time i color it, it becomes much thicker. also, have you tried the large curlers? or using a round brush when you dry it, it gives it a nice wave. i only use my paul mitchell straightener (which i adore, it is totally worth the 150) when i want stick straight, if i want body, i don't dare touch that, but use the round brush only
