Not something you can purchase, but...

A hint of geekiness.

Mention a lesser-known element or toss in a quote from Star Wars, and you'll be considered 10x more attractive.

Normally I would swear by Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in blackest black but a few days ago while makeup shopping with my BFF I took her advice and picked up Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume in Brown/Black and decided I have officially switched brands. The brush is unusual. I was a little skeptical because it's a giant brush and I have very tiny, very straight lashes so I figured they would clump with a brush like that but I was completely wrong. This mascara curls and fluffs (does that fit? lol) my lashes perfectly. Also, I can add second and third coats and there is absolutely no clumping... Check it out, especially if you have short lashes. The difference is like night and day

I keep coming back to this a couple times a year. They have a few types but I've only bothered with the Lemongrass version, for fine hair. Smells really nice and clean. And makes my hair really fluffy. So if you need volume and / or your hair gets weighed down easily, try this.

It's a bit spendy, but it is a wonderful product. It makes your skin glow. I use it with Estee Lauder Foaming Cleanser. You can see a difference in your skin after a week.

My first one died after two years, but I found it was a warranty issue and received a new unit, so it's a good company to deal with as well.

Darn, I can't post the image or the link but it's a Clairsonic skin care brush.

You can't (there's a minimum post count before you can), but I can for you. Welcome to the Ladies Lounge!

One of their brushes:

When I have some more scratch to throw around, I'd totally get one of these. I'd probably end up saving money on the scrubs, washcloths, and other exfoliating treatments I spend money on over time.

Thank you! I appreciate the picture and the welcome!

It's a wonderful product. I think you would save money since I only need a dime sized dollop of cleanser and it foams up like crazy. I think I go through a 10 oz. tube of cleanser in about a year, maybe a bit longer? So the $18 for the Estee Lauder is not so bad.

Thanks again!

Sally's has it. I've also seen it in CVS and Publix. It used to be sold only in salons but I think the word is spreading. Regarding cost, anywhere from $8 - $13. Depends on where you go. But it's deffo worth it.

Awesome! I just ran out of my clear coat and it didn't work well so I will have to give this a try

Palmer's Cocoa Butter is AMAZING to say the least! I use the oil version when I'm on the go because it drys quick.

Picked up this stuff L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base to go under my wedding makeup, and since then I've been using it by itself. Keeps me from getting greasy, makes my skin look great, and since it doesn't really have any color to it, it doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup.

If this will keep me from getting greasy, I'm on it. I never had oily skin but in the last year or so, my skin seems to have changed and I get oily a lot faster. I don't like it

I used to have one that was both a hairdryer and a roundbrush, with interchangeable heads for different brush types. Best hair investment I ever made. It's unfortunate I had to abandon it in the move.

Wonder what it was I tried that was blue and scrubby and menthol. Swore it was Clinique. This was like, 10 or more years ago though.

I had a blue sandy scrubby thing that felt mentholated. I just Googled it and found it was "Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub." Which, granted, isn't anything like Clinique, but it meets your description. I'd link to it, but I can't post those yet. GETTING 15 POSTS IS HARD FOR ME NOW, APPARENTLY.

Anyway, I freakin' hated that stuff. It didn't lather at all and it felt like it left a nasty residue behind. I had to combine it with functionally foamy facial cleanser to get it to rinse off.

Starkizzer · 11-11-2010, 07:21 PM

Snowy, I picked up some of the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base today. Tried a bit on my cheek to see how it felt and my skin feels so soft. I am excited to see how it does under my makeup.

snowy · 11-12-2010, 10:26 AM

Awesome, Star! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Hey chicas, I haven't read through this in a while so sorry if my request is redundant but I need some help. I know it's not a request thread so sue me

Can anyone recommend a good body wash for dry skin? Preferably, something that's fairly easy to find.

jewels · 12-01-2010, 06:33 AM

I like this:

Amazon.com: Canus Goat's Milk Moisturizing Body Wash, 33.6-Ounce Pump (Pack of 2): Beauty

But I find the body moisturizer used immediately after the shower (leaving some water on the body, gently blot-dry before applying) is what makes the difference. For me, this is the most healing, moisturizing stuff:

Amazon.com: Dream Cream Body Cream by LUSH: Beauty

Available online and in Lush stores.

snowy · 12-01-2010, 07:41 AM

I actually really like the Kroger generic body wash--it looks like Dove but it's the store brand. We discovered it because Dove's unscented body wash might possibly have tallow in it, and hubby doesn't use products with animal products. The upshot is that it's cheap. I soap up with it and then leave it on for 30 seconds or so. I was reading in Good Housekeeping a couple months ago that most people rinse off their moisturizing body washes too soon, so I started leaving it on for a bit and that seemed to help. After I get out of the shower, I rub down with this Home Health lotion while still wet. It makes me smell like a baked good.

Aveeno is especially great if you get the winter dry skin itchies.

I'm actually currently using Aveeno body wash and I'm still having dry skin. I love Aveeno lotion and have had good results from it but the body wash just doesn't seem to help. Perhaps I'll look into the Lush products.

Thanks ladies!
