amber? I know exactly what the ingredients are. I am fully aware of the 'dangers' of SLS. I have made an informed choice about the product, and I'm not recommending it to people blindly. You certainly were NOT trying to help, as evidenced by the debbie downer comment. Don't give me that bull****.

I hope you enjoy my next lip balm opus as much as I enjoy your next opus about the lesbians hating you and your bun, or perhaps, if we're lucky, Conshocken. Can't wait.

Trackie & Deanna- I'm so glad you both tried the mint julep!! I love that stuff. If you use facial scrubs, I'd recommend the scrub version. It's great, as is their honey/oatmeal, which is a lot more gentle.

Hayley, I've got that too! I'm a proper convert to Queen Helene now!
I'm going to try the Lush shampoo you said too. I love their stuff but the overwhelming smell in their shops just knocks me out, so I don't go in too often.

How am I supposed to know what you know? I put "Debbie Downer" because though I was trying to be helpful, it was still a Debbie Downer thing, just by the nature of the information. I thought I'd insert a light moment.
I wouldn't have bothered to put anything, or respond to you at all, if I didn't think it would be helpful. As you might recall, I rarely, if ever, talk to you. This is why, because you think I have motivations I don't have, and are always a raging bitch to me. Which is fine, I was still trying to be helpful, as you said your hair is so important and beautiful, and SLS is stripping.
And maybe, though you didn't care, and already knew, someone else might have cared and not already known.
The reason I checked your product in the first place is because it sounded good, but I wanted to see the ingredients before I thought about buying it. And lo, it had one I didn't want on my hair, and I thought maybe others would feel the same, so I posted an alert.

So, haley? Basically you are totally wrong about my motivation. I understand you like to take those opportunities to slam me for no reason, though, and I can take it, who am I to ruin your fun, even if you totally make up the reason for doing it? No big. And don't give me any bull**** that you don't do exactly that.
Oh, and I think what you write about is boring, too, so we're all evened up on that.

Who didn't get a job until they were 30? I've had one since I was 16. And before that, I did massive family chores since I was 7.

Look! I can use middle finger pics, too!

Thanks for the tip Deanna

Just to warn - the first couple of times I used it it DID keep my skin way dry - I thought it was crap - but I kept at it -and within a few days it was fabulous

And I'm going to check out the the other Queen Helene stuff too...I've been thrilled with the masque, so I'm totally willing to try other stuff (and I love that it's affordable)

Livia · #**125** 12-07-2006, 05:33 PM

I've been using the new Queen Helene moisturizing mask, with shea butter and vitamins. I really like it! I'll have to try that mint one y'all are raving about.

I can't say enough good things about Kiehl's products! Especially their eye creams.

The lady I get facials from told me the only type of scrub someone past their 20's should use is the gentle, microbead kind. The heavier scrubs literally make little cuts into your skin and make it saggy! I know sometimes I like the feel of the rougher scrubs, cuz I feel like I'm really getting in there. I used to alternate between regular and gentle, but alas, I gave up the hard stuff!

I recently picked up the L'Oreal version of the bare minerals foundation powder. I really like it! I don't have to use both a liquid foundation and loose powder, it's like both combined. It goes on light, really stays on and I don't have any shiny spots at lunchtime that need powder.

we just got a Kiehl's here. I've been wanting to try some stuff.

I love the Queen Helene's mask too. I can't use it more than once a month tho.

I have a question: does anyone use MAC or BOBBI BROWN products?
I think Bobbi Brown is an american brand, but I don't know about MAC (I believe that they are both some sort of Estee Lauder's affiliates though)
I have a couple of friends who are professional make up artists and they are all crazy about MAC. I, on the other hand, not so much.

MAC is about all I'll use. love it.

Bobbi Brown is nice for fish (that's queer talk for real girls) because it's really natural and soft.

elie · #**129** 12-08-2006, 10:00 AM

Oh all right (didn't know about "fish")

I think both brands have a great selection of eye-shadows. I am a sucker for natural/beige/light-brown eyeshadows and MAC and Bobbi Brown have lots of them.

yeah, I love those colors too.

you may want to look at Mally Cosmetics. she specializes in bronzers, browns and lots of neutral beiges.

elie · #**131** 12-08-2006, 10:10 AM

^ thank you !
However I don't think I can find them in Greece. To tell you the truth, we only got Bobbi Brown last year or so

Of course we all have different skin types - but the Revlon one I've been using has been a God-send, blends well with my skin and I don't get oily...but I also don't stay all nasty dry...it's perfect (well for me anyway).

The only thing that I don't like is the fact that it is a liquid and I am kind of messy and not to mention very lazy. I think that I am going to try the MAC studio fix once again just for the fact that it is easier to use.

They just opened up a Sephora in Providence Place Mall the other day. I was going to try that 'Kiss Me" mascara that a few people were raving about on another board but it was $24.00. It also did not curl the lashes. I saw that the Dior Show curled the lashes and was $23.00. It was also highly recommended by the staff. I got that instead along with some Sephora brand lip plumpers.

On a related note does anyone have any favorite fragrances either new or old?

Hmm..I guess if one isn't used to liquid it can get messy - I started on liquid - and while I would love the convenience of a foundation/powder in one but every one I've tried just makes me skin out of control oily..I mean I look just gross within an hour or two

Even Clinique...

Anyway - fragrances...a very sore spot with me right now. I LOVE Sueded Musk, a Gap Scent...well they've discontinued it

So I'm now going to have to hunt for another scent...

I do love Calvin Klein's Obsession..it just doesn't smell great on me,but when I smell it on others or in the store...*swoon* I adore it.

Livia · #**135** 12-08-2006, 08:38 PM

I tried a magazine page of Juicy Couture recently - rubbed it on my wrists - it's lovely.

I love just about anything by Christian Dior - Dolce Vita is probably my favorite. Don't waste your money on large bottles of perfume - they usually go bad before you get 1/2 way through a bottle. I like to get those sampler sets w/ the tiny bottles. Calvin Klein has some great fragrances too. And some of the knock-offs of the expensive stuff aren't too bad!
