    My Raw Sugar Watermelon and fresh mint body wash I bought at Target smells so freaking good! I got a big thing of it for 10 bucks and I love it.

    Boxycharm is having their pop up shop sale right now! Snagged my favorite serum for like $10 instead of $100+

    I don't understand why Skinceuticals has the reputation and price tag that they do in the world of skincare. They add fragrance and essential oils to many of their products. Sure, some essential oils aren't irritating to some skin types... but fragrance? Are you serious? And then they're charging hundreds of dollars for serums that have like three, basic ingredients.

    Here's an example of a product they offer that's specifically designed to calm irritated skin. Yet what do we see near the top of the ingredient list? Ah, yes, our favorite friend, fragrance.

    Okay, I'm done ranting now.

    ^ I was looking into getting their AOX eye serum, but it contains alcohol denat. Caroline Hirons reviewed it and loves it, despite being sceptical about the alcohol - but she asked Skinceuticals about it and their reasoning doesn't convince me.

    https://www.carolinehirons.com/2015/...x-eye-gel.html

    I am definitely not putting such a harsh ingredient around my eyes.

    Funny enough though, I do use and love a couple of Dermalogica products with essential oils that in theory my sensitive skin shouldn't like.
    I just hope there isn't some invisible low-level inflammation or something happening - I honestly haven't found other products my skin likes as much and always go back to them.


    Anyway another weird thing is that after years of using a good eye cream, for the past 6 months or so I've just been using a cheap 'Boots' (UK drugstore) own brand one and I can't see much, if any difference.

    I was initially trying to save money and intended to alternate between a cheaper and higher end cream every month or so, but realised the crepiness and loose skin around my eyes has been increasing over the past 18 months whether I used the expensive cream or not.
    For now I'm accepting that I'm just getting a bit old, LOL.

    Yes, exactly, so many products with denatured alcohol, too! Now, i do understand that alcohol denat. can be used to improve product texture and absorption. So i think it's fine if it's lower on the list... and I've heard it can be especially helpful for thick hair masks, for example.

    But yeah, I've seen Skinceuticals and iS Clinical put that like third on the ingredient list, so you're paying hundreds of dollars for a serum that's 99% water, glycerin, and denatured alcohol, with a few other ingredients appearing after that. I'd just rather buy something else. I don't mind paying a lot of money for great skincare... I'm no stranger to Neocutis, PCA Skin, Revision, and others. But I'm taking a really close look at the ingredients to see what I'm paying for in that case.

    Like, i don't need a face cream that has eucalyptus extract in it. Instead, give me an active that's proven to work. Ascorbic acid, alpha arbutin, lactic acid, AHAs/BHAs, niacinamide, peptides, ceramides... something!

    If you've noticed a change in the last 18 months, i might look at lifestyle - stress, diet, hydration, sleep - as possible culprits. Skincare can only take us so far, of course, and it doesn't seem like natural aging that's noticeable would happen so quickly unless there's something else at play there. My experience is also that i can start to hyperfocus on my skin, causing me to notice stuff that was probably there before.

    And also start gently patting tretinoin or similar around the eyes at bedtime! It's a myth that you can't use it around the eyes. Just start slowly and go from there. I usually just apply tretinoin to the rest of my face and then lightly tap the extra product around my eyes, finishing with an eye cream. Eye creams aren't necessary, technically, but i like using them.

    Skinceuticals and iS Clinical have cult followings that perplex me. This is one of their much-loved products:

    https://www.lovelyskin.com/o/is-clin...-serum-1-fl-oz

    The first few ingredients are just for the formulation of the product and include alcohol. Then we have a few extracts that might have some very modest anti-inflammatory benefits. Arbutin is a legitimate skin lightener. And then we end with MENTHOL. I don't want menthol on my skin just for the cooling sensation and fragrance. Menthol can cause irritation, especially when combined with denatured alcohol. It's so gimmicky.

    You'd get a much better formulation from a budget option like Paula's Choice, or if you want to spend money, look at medspa brands like Revision, Skinmedica, etc.

    I need to stop ranting, lol. No one is gonna read this jibber jabber haha.

    No, Im interested, Charlie..I feel we should do product research.

    As you know, Ive been looking at skin care..
    I kinda decided on Tula brand, meanwhile I got The Ordinary cause it's affordable.

    Also, I went on eBay & purchased 2 samples of Supergoop brand eye cream w/spf, to try for day use.
    I like to buy samples on there to try, before springing on a big purchase.

    Also, I want to mention, I previously ordered a face roller from MDNA, (Madonna) I never used it, but they were so nice about me returning it.

    Id never opened or used it, they gave me samples which I didn't use, it was a while I had it.

    Glad you enjoy the discussion, thank you! I don't tire of conversations around beauty and health... there's so much to learn!

    And yeah, I've had some major skincare flops, too- you mentioned you returned the face roller. I bought that $400 Shani Darden wand, and it's basically just a vibrator for your face... it feels like I'm using my Hitachi Magic Wand on my face, haha. I almost wish I'd returned it, but i do like using it around my brows / temples when I'm holding stress there. That's a lot of damn money for something that's turned into a glorified temple massager, lol!

    This gal's video on low-pH haircare was so useful to me. I have fine, virgin hair that was feeling so coarse, dry, and sad, and after just a couple of weeks of applying this information and info from her other videos, I've already noticed a significant difference:

    I bleached my hair a few weeks ago and its dry as fuck. I want to do a hair mask at home but I get all these crazy recipes. Coconut oil and an egg? Really? Did somebody try this? Does it work?

    Didn't do the Olaplex this time. I find it very expensive (I have veryyyy thick hair and bottom of bra strap length) so they charge double. And if it would work miracles like everyone says I would think its worth it but I dont think its really worth it. Am I the only one who is not really a big fan of Olaplex?

    I have permanent whiplash too. Gets very bad when I am stressed. I knowwwww how much it sucks. Magnesium oil works wonders for me. It helps relax the muscles. You can also use Epsom salts if you have a bathtub.

    I didn't have any results with olaplex #3, but i know people with damaged hair from bleaching tend to have noticeable results. I think lots of people use #3 incorrectly... could that be the reason you didn't like it? Shrugs.

    Fellow oily skin makeup wearers: Which full coverage matte foundation do you use for long wear (10+ hr) situations? Added points if it can hold up in very humid/hot climates!

    I've been using Double Wear, but go through it way too fast to justify spending $43 plus tax per bottle. So far I've tried KVD lock it (love the coverage, hate how flat the finish is & oily it gets after 4-6hrs), Fenty soft matte long wear (coverage is ok, but not the best undertone match for me), Tom Ford Traceless (love how skin like the finish is but it doesn't last more than 6hrs on me before melting plus it's like $80), Huda fauxfilter luminous matte (love the coverage/shade match/that a little goes a long way, but it gets super shiny at the 8hr mark no matter how I set it), Milani conceal +perfect (kind of cakey and melted like the KVD), Lancome's 24hr matte foundation (didn't like the coverage and gave me the worst acne), & the previous Tarte amazonian clay formula (perfect shade match, acceptable coverage, but melted after 4-5hrs). I try to steer clear of things with chemical spf because it usually gives me acne. :/

    Oily AF here, the only thing I can make last 8+ hours is the dior forever matte. Horrible for touch ups and I think it makes me look like crap in person but lasts and looks great on cam. Nars soft matte is good for a combo of skinlike/mattte but does fall apart in my oiliest places after half a day.

    Armani Luminous silk is my go to atm, actually lasts and looks fresh for about 7, but probably not the finish you are looking for. One that last even longer on my oily skin is the Shiseido
    Synchro Skin I can get 10 hours in real life out of it but somehow only half that on cam.
    If you never knew me, that'd probably be cheaper

    If you really knew me, you would know I don't need ya- Saweetie

    Thank you!! Never tried the Dior, so I’ll grab some. Why is it bad for touch up?
    Also, what setting powder do you use? I’m also oily af so I understand your struggle. *sigh*

    It looks really patchy if you try to touch up once it’s set. It does oxidize. I actually mostly stopped setting because of my time trying to make it work. I buff with it instead, right now I am using the Laura Mercier candlelight glow but I really like the by terry ones. They have a pink toned one that makes even the worst formulas look great. I tried it on a gf of mine that has a darker skin tone then me and it had the same effect.

    once summer is over and makeup stays on my face, I will probably pick up some of the hourglass powder as I always go back to it.
    If you never knew me, that'd probably be cheaper

    Ok.
    Try this:IMG_20210826_194641.jpg

    It is GOLD!
    A bit pricey, ($34.00) 6 oz can, Ulta, or sometimes eBay.
    I absolutely love it, its a bonding spray sounds weird, but it works!

    So easy to use, Olaplex a major PIA to use .
    All the IGK products are 4.5 - 5 stars, that's the only one Ive used, it's awesome!

    Also try Chloresteral, from Sally's, it's cheap but good .
    The one salonI go to buys it in huge drums.
    It's probably like $3.99 for a large jar

    This's said to be good as well, never tried it tho, from Sally's

I tried it on a gf of mine that has a darker skin tone then me and it had the same effect.

    once summer is over and makeup stays on my face, I will probably pick up some of the hourglass powder as I always go back to it.
    I'm a big fan of bare minerals mineral veil powder. That sh*t makes your foundation stay matte like nothing else I've tried! Laura Mercier makes me oily after 4hrs with basically every foundation I've tried. looks amazing irl though for shorter use.

    I used to do the egg (yolk only) and olive oil 'hair mayonnaise' at home when I was in my teens. It works well for dry hair but as my hair is also quite fine I found it too rich. If you do try it, only rinse with lukewarm water, or you will have a head full of scrambled eggs!

    I've been using Double Wear, but go through it way too fast to justify spending $43 plus tax per bottle. So far I've tried KVD lock it (love the coverage, hate how flat the finish is & oily it gets after 4-6hrs), Fenty soft matte long wear (coverage is ok, but not the best undertone match for me), Tom Ford Traceless (love how skin like the finish is but it doesn't last more than 6hrs on me before melting plus it's like $80), Huda fauxfilter luminous matte (love the coverage/shade match/that a little goes a long way, but it gets super shiny at the 8hr mark no matter how I set it), Milani conceal +perfect (kind of cakey and melted like the KVD), Lancome's 24hr matte foundation (didn't like the coverage and gave me the worst acne), & the previous Tarte amazonian clay formula (perfect shade match, acceptable coverage, but melted after 4-5hrs). I try to steer clear of things with chemical spf because it usually gives me acne. :/
    I have an oily T-zone that gets shiny about an hour after applying powder...I usually only wear tinted moisturiser but I do find when I remember to put primer underneath it really helps - I use either Benefit or Dermalogica.
