Essence has good lipsticks and liners a few Mac dupes!. I want to try their gel polish too.

The last two times I've dyed my hair, I've used 10 developer, because i thought 20 developer lightened hair. I couldn't figure out why my hair didn't look much different afterwards. Turns out you need to use 20 developer to lift the hair cuticles up enough to deposit pigment. :facepalm: Live and learn...
Used dark ash brown by Wella with the ion 20 developer. Looks good so far, but i won't be able to see the final result until i wash it after a few days.
You know the formula is 2:1 for Wella right Char?^
Yea. I used to use Wella, I used Ion color but now I like Age Beautiful color.
No, w/Wella, you're supposed to use more developer, that's just how it is. The color might not take enough but it sounds like maybe it's ok? Idk, one of the reasons I stopped using Wella, plus I just liked the other brand better.
I really want that 90s hairstyle involving lots of chunky layering around the face from the jaw all the way down, kind of like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...907e8851bb.jpg or this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GVR2zaG5JXU/maxresdefault.jpg
^nice.
Celeb beauty random rant: I am a huge Beyonce but she is ALWAYS wearing those damn Amish hats and I hate them, I so don't think they look good on her:

And speaking of Beyonce, her hair color has always been a pet-peeve for me too. She usually has it in a color that looks very much like her skin color and so it really washes her out IMO:

In a similar vein, I really want full fringey bangs this season..I think it's very flattering and youthful and makes the eyes twinkle but my forehead is always either covered in sunscreen during the day or moisturizer at night so won't they get super greasy and gross ?? Sigh
I'm pretty broken out right now, I haven't been eating good but I usually don't. I have been eating more dairy than usual though.....lately for dessert I'll have strawberries with homemade whipped cream so that way I'm getting some fiber, fat and protein with my dessert instead of just empty calories but I suspect that having heavy whipping cream every day might be what's doing me in. I also just started making frozen hot chocolates which I add more of my whipped cream to.......
Also, I have one tooth that is yellow when all of my other teeth are pretty uniformly white, I called my dentist and asked if it was possible to have that tooth bleached during my next scheduled cleaning(so it will match the others) and found out that apparently I'm the only person ever who has just wanted one tooth bleached. Is that really that weird?? I would have thought that it was damn-near common.
Have you tried using a mud mask? I used to like the Queen Helene mud mask..
I bought this today, from Rms beauty: https://www.rmsbeauty.com/products/un-cover-up
Kind of expensive, (I got 15% off for 1st time order) but I've been looking @ foundations, I have L'oreal & Bb cream, but I need something good. Hopefully this will be it, they're supposed to be all natural & moisturizing.
This is my favorite: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKXGXW
It mixes easily with water, which makes it 100x more usable than the Aztec clay brand. It lasts foreeeveeer. I mix it with ACV and smear it all over my face, do other stuff while it dries. For a gentler treatment, use a warm washcloth and warm water to wipe it off (or just jump in the shower and rinse it off to make less of a mess). For blackhead removal, pull individual pieces of clay off of your face in chunks. For a more exfoliating treatment, lightly rub the clay in circles while you rinse it off in the shower (use it as a physical exfoliant) and follow it up with a gentle salicylic acid wash (like by Biore or Neutrogena) - put that on, do your other shower stuff, then gently rub face in circular motions to encourage sloughing before rinsing off.
Turbie Twists (super absorbant, lighweight microfiber) for drying hair instead of full-sized, heavy towels: https://www.amazon.com/Turbie-Twist-...482219159&th=1
I just bought this foundation/concealer, by RMS beauty & I love it
I just ordered the balm, you can use it on your face, eyes, lips & cuticles
Everything's organic, the co's run by a makeup artist
O. M. G. So I had my areola pigmentation/tattoos done today and I did not expect to love it so much, tbh I figured the odds were that I wouldn't or that it would take me a looong time for me to. I was also not looking forward to the first week because that's when they look super fake and dark but I actually love how they look fresh and am a little bummed that they're going to lighten up. Also she initially asked me if I wanted them done in a very natural color or if I wanted her to make them more Barbie pink, I went with natural but now I'm thinking that the pink would have looked neat. I have to go back for a second touch-up session, I'm gonna ask her if she can touch up with just the pink when I do.
Got 2 pairs of Daisy Fuentes Secret extensions from my aunt for Christmas, one was my mother's but she gave it to me, wow looks amazing. It's the same length as my hair but gives me so much volume on my super thin hair. Have not worn them out yet, hope they stay on correctly. It would be so great if it works
I got to go to Las Vegas for New Year's unexpectedly & went to the L'Occitaine shop in Summerlin (at Red Rock.)
Gahhh those gift packs are so expensive. Note to the ladies, if you want a gift from Sugar Daddy ask him to buy you L'Occitaine products. LOL
^^Is that Natalie Wood? That's my mom's favorite actress.
Heel tip ... bicarb of soda and vinegar as a foot soak then buff your heels with a pumice.
I'm way too happy about cutting my hair now that I'll be taking a break from dancing. The ends are fried anyways. I have a round angular face so I always have to keep at least shoulder length hair lest I look like a chipmunk.
Trying a new deep conditioner: http://www,STTROPICA.com
It's coconut oil, cocoa butter, green tea, biotin & herbs, all organic.
You heat it in micro, put on dry hair, then shampoo & condition afterwards
I found it in an individual pac @ Ulta, like $3.99 or you can order/look up locations on their site.
They give you 1.50ounce, it's a lot, I barely used 1/3 of on my long hair. Hope it helps:-\

At first i was disappointed when i got it, because it's much smaller than i expected. I wanted a sturdy, wooden, anti-static comb, both for combing (obvs) and for scalp stimulation. I actually love how it feels in my hand (makes me feel like a geisha combing my hair), and the teeth kind of grip onto the strands (not in a rip-out-your-hair way), which is nice. It's great on my scalp - simulates without feeling like it's damaging the skin. I love it. I've been using it with argan oil before bed on the weekends, to give my hair and scalp a luxurious but lightweight treatment when i don't need to go in to work the next day.
