Today is day one of using a waist trainer. Immediately I've noticed that it really does offer excellent back support and it corrects your posture. Some people notice results in only a few weeks so I'll have to report back with my findings! At first it was somewhat uncomfortable (but totally tolerable) but now I hardly notice it. I've been wearing it for 4hrs which is longer than recommended for your first day - it's hard not to get overzealous with a garment that's suppose to whittle your waist lol
I got mine, it's kinda hard to work w/, I'm used to my cheapie ones..
This is made from thick cotton, laces in the back, has metal boning, & had regular, strong hooks in front, not the little bra hooks

I just discovered how cool is Aliexpress and actually how cheap and good quality are the UV/ LED nail polishes and lamps!!! Wtf man!!!
I am gona order soon, something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Modelones-Nail-Gel-Soak-off-Gel-polish-Top-Base-Coat-gel-nails-polish-kit-24w-9C/1846220_32801753423.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.213 12860mq0E1o . It has TONS of reviews with pics from customers so, I am amazed :)) And I want it! In my country, this is the price for a semi- permanent manicure at a salon. With this kit, I have enough polish for 3 years I think :))).
Initially I wanted to order this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SUNUV-SUN9c-plus-36W-UV-lamp-nail-gel-machine-curing-harden-gel-polish-nail-dryer-for/32753589534.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.JBdp4r&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10152_10 065_10151_10068_10344_10345_10342_10343_10340_1034 1_5900020_10541_10587_10304_10585_10307_5670020_10 301_10060_10155_10154_10056_5880020_10055_10539_10 537_10536_10059_10534_10533_5890020_100031_5740020 _10577_10103_10102_10142_10107_5860020_10171_10562 _10084_10083_5650020_10312_10313_10314_5660020_105 50_10073_10551_10552_10553_10557-10577_10344_10102_5890020,searchweb201603_4,ppcSwi tch_5&btsid=a3832edc-928a-4f20-acdb-1df2204308ff&algo_expid=c41edc2f-3c2a-40be-b5d5-fbd365132497-0&algo_pvid=c41edc2f-3c2a-40be-b5d5-fbd365132497 because it had many great reviews.
But then I discovered the store and the set above and I decided on that.
I never been crazy with the nails, I always ran away of the acrylic nails because my nails are looking great, they are strong and healthy, sometimes I manage to keep them really long, before one breaks and I have to cut them all :)) and I didn't want to destroy them. I love how polish looks on nails, my Pinterest is full of manicure inspiration, but the idea of re-doing it every 5 days it's killing.
Idk in what bubble I lived. Literally a month ago i've heard for the first time ever about semi- permanent nail polish. I am fucking SAVED!!! Now I will be able to do my nails and have a beautiful manicure for 3 weeks!!! No acrylic nails!! This is holy grail and life changer :))).
I must sound retard, but I needed to express my excitement :))).

Oh, you reminded me I should order a new waist trainer. I ordered last year one, but I couldn't wear it because I am only 5ft1 and my waist is short. So, the trainer was actually "wrapping" my boobs. But now I see they have in stock waist trainers for short women, with short waist. It's so amazing!! Can't wait to wear again. I started having good results with that one but it was really uncomfy for my boobs .

If you have hyperpigmentation and cystic acne from hell, I HIGHLY recommend Kojic Acid Soap! This stuff is a god-send as it lightens up the dark spots and dries out the acne. My beau complimented me that my face looks a whole lot better! (My face sans makeup looks like a speckled brown egg :( ).

SkinMedica has awesome retinol cream, most over the counter retinol suck and have inert ingredients but my skin is actually peeling!! I’m excited lol.
I’m thinking of getting dermaroller , I know it’s not deep enough to properly stimulate collagen (according to the plastic surgeons) but it DOES increase product absorption so I’m thinking of getting it.
I’ve also found lipgloss (esp ones who extra shimmer or sparkle) to increase my sales big time. Secret weapon

Omg I just got a nice stample of a korean cream, called "Belif".
I am stunned, by it! I have mixed- oily skin and sometimes I feel my skin dehydrated, even if is oily. Actually, when it produces more sebum than usual, that's a sign that my skin is dehydrated.
I am usually using Paula's Choice producs and I am pleased with them, but probably, my skin started to get used to them so... I tried that sample from Belif.
OMG! I loved it!!!! It's like a gel and it gets a watery texture when it touches the skin and then it leaves the skin super soft and super... firm, but elastic. And I was feeling how moisturised it was, without being oily. I loved it, soon I am going to buy the full size one.
That's the product girls, go at Sephora and get yourself a sample and try it. They also have the version for dry skin, as well...

I also laid my eyes on this serum, but again, I am gonna get a sample first and see if I like it: https://www.sephora.com/product/hungarian-water-essence-P394633?skuId=1686351&icid2=belif_lp_serum_storm_carousel:p394633

I realised that I should probably buy 2 different serums and 2 different moisturizers and use them in rotation, at every 2 weeks. Apparently, those WOW effects are just fading away if I keep using same cream day after day.
It took me a few years to realise that. I remember how stunned I was about the Lancome Genifique serum, or the Clarins facial oil, in the first 2 weeks of using them. My skin was looking glowy and fresh and the effects were amazing. And then, I started to not being impressed anymore and I was like " what a bullshit"...
But now I realise what was going on, the skin got used to it so, obivously, it wasn't looking wow anymore...
Lesson learned!

I'm thinking about getting Invisalign for my top row of teeth. I have a bit more space than i need up there, and i feel like even some small changes would give quite a bit of polish to my overall look. I have great dental insurance, but I'm sure it'd still be pricey. I can afford it, but... should I or shouldn't i? Hmm...

Do it. Perfect teeth are always a big plus in any area you need to excel. Please don't overdo it on laser whitening though.

I use a number of the ordinary products in my regime. I prefer their marula oil to drunk elephant's. I also use their retinoids, they have a couple but they are comparable to Sundry Riley's Luna oil. I am about to step it up with some actual retin-a samples though to see if I need that.
word of advice on the ordinary...If you like something stockpile it, they tend to be back ordered at the very moment you run out.

I'm kind of surprised makeup companies don't do more sample give aways. When I was a small kid (1980s) it was common to get free samples from drugstores. Now that makeup on average is as or much more expensive, free samples would make sense.

Chanzep, the Deciem/Ordinary products I've used don't have fragrance. I've tried a few products from Deciem (the parent brand of The Ordinary) and really like them overall.
Products I've tried:
- NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex - it's good but not sure I could see a difference between this and the much cheaper The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid serum.
- Chemistry Hyaluronic Concentrate - I use this on my body...it comes in a big bottle and I love it for moisturising in hot weather, instead of lotion.
- Chemistry Glow Oil - a DHA-free alternative to self tan in a dry oil form...I love this as it gives just a subtle golden tone to my skin.
- One of the Hand Chemistry hand creams - I forget which one - it was OK but nothing special compared to other cheaper creams, and the tube didn't last very long.

So I have been using Olay total effects fragrance free and l' oreal eyecream, my skin seems to be doing better and not breaking out. Would love a better eyecream though. I hate Maybelline foundations ugh, I tried the superstay one people on youtube have been raving about, its horrible I only wore it to target and it looks a mess, I had the same issue with the fit me, the only drugstore foundations I like are covergirl outlast and L'Oreal infallible pro matte , I normally wear my estee lauder double wear but wanted something a bit lighter for quiet days at work. Going to try some retin A products soon.

yes!~ I never buy anything from SEphora usually lol. I go in & know which products i want & ask for as many samples as I can get. I've walked with over 6 before, all huge full samples of good shit that lasts. The Dr.Brant microdermabrasion stuff is Amazing! I had ppl tell me how much better my complexion looked after a few uses of that stuff.
Didn't care much for the drunk elephant line, moisturizer was waaaay to greasy for me.

I'm so happy with The Ordinary! My skincare routine and diet were already on point, and i just started using TO's products, so it's too early to report results. But i have 100% trust in the brand and quality. And you cannot beat the prices! Only time will tell. I have an order from their parent company, DECEIM (?) on the way with some fun stuff... I'll report back on everything! IME, skincare really does take time... you sort of refine things as you go along, but unless your skincare routine and diet are crap, you aren't going to notice overnight results.
My order from TO:
Marine hyaluronics
100% marula oil
The buffet + copper peptides
Vitamin C suspension (23%?) + HA

True, or you can simply ask the girls in there, for a sample. For example, I wanted to try the Belif Aqua Bomb cream and I got a tester, but it wasn't enough for me (I managed to use it only 3 days) so I simply went back to Sephora and asked for a sample. They didn't have samples anymore, but the girl was nice and just filled me a small jar, that was enough for a 1 week use!
PS: I strongly believe that every damn company should have sample size or travel size products, for each category, especially the expensive stuff. That way we avoid spending a small fortune on products that may not be good for us... ugh!

I might try The Ordinary produtcs too... dunno what to say, I heard mixed oppinions about it (some say that the mix of ingredients aren't "strong" enough to be effective as other brands, such as Paula's Choice and also their packaging is not the most wise). I am usually a Paula's Choice fan and I really want to try something cheaper, but.. I guess I'll take it easy and try a few products first...

Some might be sickened by my method but I dgaf really lol. I am all about saving my $$$. I will soemtimes go to several different Sephoras in my area and grab the same sample from each place so I;m stocked for like a couple months tops. That way the product has enough time to work the way it should & i'll decide if i'm gonna purchase it or not.
