I just bought the Neutrogena microdermabrasion thing that Bleu was talking about.
They were out of the refill heads, which are 24 for $11.99 (you use it 2-3 times a week). I'm trying to wean myself off the expensive Clinique exfoliating scrub I've been using since forever. Or maybe I can alternate them. Also, I looked for the Neutrogena scrub that people add sugar or salt to as an exfoliant but they didn't have it. I can't wait to use the microdermabrasion thing! |

Good idea, Talon! |
Two things I do: I keep a little plastic bottle with a flip top full of baking soda in the shower and add a couple of shakes of that to pretty much any facial wash I use. I think I usually grab something from Neutrogena. It's a super inexpensive way to exfoliate.
I also use hydrogen peroxide as a toner. I learned that trick from a friend who's been in the facial business for years. After I wash my face, I just use a cotton round and go for it. The combined cost of a box of baking soda and a bottle of peroxide is maybe $3. |

One of my favorite makeup lines I found when trying to break a very long MAC addiction is NYX. My drag queen girlfriends swear by it and I have had great results so far!
this is one of my favorite palettes - The Smoky Eye! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fcy5k6uBUe...0/PA140031.JPG |
This is the purple one and it is amazing-
Oh, and did I mention these are only $9-$10?! http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/w...otos-small.jpg |
Well, I can honestly say don't use the Hardcandy Lash Primer. It flakes and irritated my eyes. I felt like stuff was in them all day, e the fibers just got into my eyes. I finally removed all my eye makeup and reapplied without it. I bought a pricier primer at Sephora, it was expensive, 22 dollars for it, but I loved it. (can't remember the name)No irritation. I think when it comes to something like that, it's probably better to go with the pricier ones.
I recently read a book called "looking younger'' . It went into great detail on how makeup artists get their models lashes so thick, without the primer. She said that you pull out the wand, wipe off excess on the rim and then dab on a soft cloth, not to worry there is plenty left on the wand. Place it at the roots of your eyelashes and wiggle it back and forth as you stroke out. Let that thin coat dry for two to three mins. It is imperative for it to dry completely and that you dab off the wand to get a thin coat, or the next layer will clump terribly. Then repeat for a total of three coats. I have not tried this yet either, but I am going to and see if it works like she says...... |

I forgot something I was in the habit of doing previously, and should do again...
When you get build up on your hair from products and shampoo, you can wash your hair with lye soap and it strips it of all the crap and leaves your hair SUPER soft and silky....I was doing it once a month or so.. I discovered it because my ex had very bad psoriasis and lye soap was the only thing that helped it. She would use it on her scalp too and I noticed that her hair looked SO nice and shiny! It's not especially cheap...or even easy to find. (we got it at Cracker Barrel, 5 or 6 dollars a bar) but if you get a soap bar keeper, it will last for however often you use it.... |
What about BB creams? Is it better than tinted moisturizer? What ones have people tried? I have a hard time knowing which color to get in the drugstore. I usually go to the department store.

>>I really like this idea...Do you find that the powdered milk works better than using regular whole milk added to your bath? *Forgive me if you've already answered this, it may have gotten erased in the recent outage* |
Quote:
Oh man, NYX *is* the shit. I have both of those palettes..and I use them both, all the time. They're eyeshadows are really awesome...*especially* if you're a MAC addict. Because the quality and intensity of the pigments, are very similar(to MAC), at a much better price. |

And you know, they've actually done studies, that show consumers do not get the same fufillment when they buy online, as they do when they physically are shopping in a store....So, I totally get that. |
Quote:
>>Now I have a question about this...is the lye soap damaging at all to the hair? And, do you know if the lye soap is similar to LAVA bar soap? |
Quote:
>>>Nice colors, Angeltoes...I'm such a sucker for anything with shimmer and depth. |
Quote:
>>>Yikes!...Definitely *NOT* the look I'm after. :blink: |
Okay, it's not especially cheap, but
I just ordered this polish and I can bring it with me when I have my nails done. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...jL._SY300_.jpg |

>>>Yes, it is better. With BB creams, (depending on the brand, and what each brand offers, so you gotta read labels) You get more than just a moisturizer with a very sheer tint. For example, I use the "Maybelline Dream Fresh" BB, because it seems to have the most benefits (8-in-1), at a reasonable price: >>>1. Blurs any imperfections. 2. Enhances your complexion. 3. Brightens your complexion. 4. Adjusts to your individual skin-tone (although, you still have to choose your skin-tone range..light..medium..dark, ect.) 5. Smoothes the skin. 6. Hydrates the skin. 7. Protects with spf 30. 8. 0% oils and other heavy ingrediants. (so, no "masky" feeling on your face). >>>Hope this helps. |

Ohhhhhh....pretttttty....God, I love that name..."Gelish"...It reminds me of that old "Gene Loves Jezebel" song..."JEAL-OUS...JEAL-OUS..." *chuckle* |

Tonight I am trying a face mask I read about. Avocado and olive oil. I have an avocado that is a LITTLE more ripe than I like to eat, so I figure rather than trash it, make a nice mask.It's supposed to be excellent for dry skin... :) |
Quote:
>>Darn it..and I just threw out 2 over-ripe avocados yesterday! |
I know it's a super old school thing to do, but I still love giving my hair a henna treatement ever couple of months. My hair is dark auburn, so sometimes I will use one with a bit of a tint in it, but usually I just use a neutral. My hair, which it about 3 inches longer than shoulder length feels fantastic, root to tip.

>>>> *chuckle* Nice hair length, Fatale...the henna must make it feel...very soft, smooth, and shiny...so, does it...feel that way? |

Nyxx liquid eyeliner. Best eyeliner ever!! (And less than $5.00)

The darkest depths of the sea...bathing gracefully in the pale moonlight....? ...Yeah, ya gotta love those..I hear that they can be quite "fun". :moonstars: |
Quote:
Hi starry...I have yet to try their liquid liner..$5? Nice price. Thanks for the heads-up. |
I like the Sinful Professional Nail Color and really did not like the Essie nail polish I got to spoil myself...
Which is silly since Sinful averages around $2 and Essie nail color cost my $9 with a coupon... Can anyone tell what the big deal over Essie nail color is? |
Quote:
Yeah...I know exactly what you mean. Essie has always chipped on me, the same day. The same with the "Nicole" nail laquer. I do not know why. For the price of each of those in a drugstore, I can get O.P.I or Orly in a beauty supply store, (which is of much higher quality, w/ the latest season's shades) for the same price, if not less. |
I grew up using Noxzema face products for my face. I realized early that I have sensitive skin and did not like washing my face. I now use products from L'Occitane en Provence. Their products are organic and don't make my skin break out. I love their Shea 8% face soap and Precious serum and cream. The creams are $58 a bottle but last me almost six to seven months. For my makeup I like Mac's studio fix powder, again it will last me almost eight months. I love Avon's smooth minerals mascara and their creamy oatmeal wash.
