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 :)

To be fair, you've been doing lots of new stuff to your skin lately and not just this, right?

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.

When you go to your stylist, ask them to cut it in a way that will maximize the body of your hair and when they blow-dry it, pay attention to how they do it and what sort of product they use.
 
stuff~!

I love Olay Total Effects. I dont really use moisturizer because I have oily skin (and live in the tropics!) but this one is just so lightweight and creamy and just leaves my skin super soft and flawless I dont know how I did without it.

I use this for when I get stubborn zits: It stings so good! None of that wishy washy shit...I need the real deal.

I've been using Origins A Perfect World stuff (got it as a present) for the last several months sporadically but to be honest, it doesnt really do a thing for me (other than I love the smell.) Their white tea moisturizer dont make my skin feel and look any different the way Olay does. Bah.

What I do love is this: Ginger souffle Whipped Body Cream.So invigorating and smells so good on me. The Ginger line is divine.

The only thing different really is the microdermabrasion and all that does is smooth your skin etc the makeup/new facial washes are what is making my skin look so damn clear. Ive gotten facials for awhile so thats not any different and even then I dont get the crazy different kind of facials I just have extractions done.
 
who has curly hair and how do you manage it, especially in the dry winter months? my curls are amazing in the summer with all the humidity... but i'm worried about this winter.

any (inexpensive) products anyone recommends? i currently use a mixture of aussie and garnier crap... its really cheap and it worked well in the humid summer months. my problem is i like it realllyyyy curly and when its not very humid outside, the curls just arent as springy.

ideas/experiences?
 
don't use anything for microdermabrasions and get a sunburn.

i really fucked up my skin :(
 
^^^
damn, what happened?

i'm not a girl but i didn't think my question warranted its own thread so be gentle.

i'm growing my hair out and would like to go hatless (i wear a hat at work due to health codes) when i can, but my hair is naturally curly/ wavey (not small tight curls). i also have a cowlick in front that parts my hair naturally on one side.

my question is, have yall come across any product that can leave you with that just outta the shower slightly towel dried look without looking greasy or dirty?

i'm not well versed on the ins and outs of hair care so i appreciate any advice you ladies have.
 
I have been using Murad's Environmental Shield line for a couple of months. I don't see much difference in my skin. It is not worth the hundreds I spent on this line. I am going back to my drugstore products once this stuff runs out. Maybe buy new shoes with the money I save.
 
Bumping for newer BLers and newly discovered products. :)

I LOVE Burt's Bees Lemon Poppyseed Facial Cleanser. It makes my skin feel super smooth and is awesome for my complexion. Then again, I love almost everything Burt's Bees related. =D
 
HEMPZ herbal lotion - omg, hands down BEST moisturizer i've evr used.
i bought it in california in a salon where it cost 20 bucks, but you can get it anywhere onlinefor like half that.

it smells like bubblegum and you have to use half as much as normal lotion but get twice the results... this stuff lasts for ever and it makes your skin feel soooo good.

my boyfriend is even obsessed with it :)

i am going to try their facial moisturizer next, the kind i use now just doesn't cut it anymore, and i keep wanting to smear this stuff all over my face but it smells like bubblegum.
 
The body butter and hand moisturizer absorb better, IMO. It takes care of keeping my feet smooth...I still have to use a pumice weekely...but I don't always. The lip balm always keeps my lips pretty. They don't smell like bubblegum though. www.thebodyshop.com is an eco-conscious group. Check them out.
 
i looove hempz. i use it also!

i am in the market for a good facial line...cleanser, toner, the works. i don't mind spending a hundred or so bucks if a know it is worth it. i am getting a line on my forehead, between my eyes, and it grosses me out. and i am starting to think injecting botulism in your face doesn't sound like THAT bad of an idea. i am ready to start taking really good care of my face. had a facial yesterday. seems like a waste of money though i loved it anyway. nothing i can't do at home! so any ideas on a good line, let me know.

A facial line will never compare to the results of plastic surgery. I have spent money before for the "works" and learned that drugstore stuff rules. It is always a good idea to cleanse and moisturize. Period.

I am partial to St. Ives Apricot Scrub cleanser, Almay Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover, Oil of Olay Total Effects night cream, Loreal Revitalift eye cream, and Neutrogena 45 SPF Daily Moisturizer. I mix and match whatever is on sale when I need to refill. Using all of the same line does not produce better results, IME.

Stick with the less expensive stuff and use the money saved for those bi-monthly facials ;)
 
i just found out my favorite burt's bees lip gloss has carmine in it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine

:(

has anybody used the new 'lightener' products? i guess it's the new way to market the product to people in the US as opposed to calling it skin whitening.

so far i haven't found a successful facial wash. i have several and none seem to prevent breakouts lately..but i'm thinking it might be a hormonal issue since i recently went off the pill? i'm hoping my body regulates itself soon :(

as for cheap eyeliner, i got some loreal HIP in navy. the color is awesome, great pigment for a cheapie, and it washes off well. my urban decay eyeliners require a fuckton of eye makeup remover and elbow grease. i use sephora's brand for eye makeup remover. anybody know of any better ones? i haven't had much luck with the almay brand with urban decay. that stuff is ridiculous. i hate scrubbing my eyes :(
