Hey everyone!!

After Natasha's and my in depth conversation about mascara last night, I thought I'd start a thread where we can all recommend products & service (or warn others off) - whichever the case may be!!

NOW THIS IS FOR GUYS JUST AS MUCH AS GIRLS!!!!

it can be anything from skin care to haircare, massage to haircutting/colours, nails, body care, parfum, cologne etc etc....

I'll start with.... my new moisturiser. Its called timewise and its from Mary Kay. It is really light and silky, goes on beautifully! AND!!! It fights aging!! Wahoo!

Prevention is better than a cure I say!!

eskimopie30 Jul 2005, 12:42am

gotta love anything that fights aging. I wanna look as young as I act haha. Drinking heaps of water is my beauty secret, it definately keeps my skin looking good.

~Em~30 Jul 2005, 12:59am

Yeah I'd have to agree with you there eskimopie!!

You know, before I started raving I barely drank water, now i drink at leat 1.5 - 2 litres a day. I don't know if the two are related, but before I started raving I'd be lucky if I drank water once a week. Now, I always have a bottle of water with me.

Um... here's a question for the ladies... I'm thinking of having my nails done... I have had both acrylics and gels, but am unsure which to get now? which are stronger and whih are better for your nails??

missvixen7 Aug 2005, 9:02pm

heard acrylics are stronger but gels are better

Oldskoolie7 Aug 2005, 10:20pm

I use Dermalogica facial products. Thats why im so beautiful!
Best facial treatments and general beauty, and hair....
They also sell clothing and accerories for girls, as well as Napoleon Perdis brand make up which from what i have seen is amazing stuff.

missvixen7 Aug 2005, 10:34pm

i love my johnsons hair minimising cream, i use it every day (well i try - i suck at routines)
it works pretty well and it moisturises good too.
and i also love my peaches bodybutter, i got it for $3 from insane (it think). it smells good and its also a great moisturiser

*smp*8 Aug 2005, 3:27pm

all I can suggest is stay away from any products with Sodium Laureth Sulphate or Propylene Glycol in it (and unfortunately that just about everything - especially Johnsons products I'm afraid Vixen). My eyes have recently been opened to these sort of chemicals, and since eradicating them from my bathroom my skin and hair is a lot better...if you are unsure do a google search on these chemicals and you'll see why I'm concerned!

Still cannot believe so many companies put these harmful chemicals into their products..then we put them on our skin!!!!

mel8 Aug 2005, 4:23pm

its true smp971, there are loads of bad things in beauty prods. after working in pharmacy and seeing it all....its bad! if you wand inexpensive chemical free products, Natural Instinct are the way to go... they have everything including laundry and other cleaning products.

and kandii, no fake nails are good for your natural nail but if you are as rough with your hands as i am, acrylic all the way!

missvixen8 Aug 2005, 5:09pm

aww but i love my johnsons stuff

...stupid chemicals

*smp*8 Aug 2005, 5:55pm

evil cancer causing chemicals

just something to make yourself aware of I think...and its scary how many products have this crap in them....go natural I say...its been working for thousands of years and has to be bettter than man made crapola

miney8 Aug 2005, 5:58pm

i use soap and shampoo. that give ya a good enough description?? and wen i do my hair i use gel!!

missvixen8 Aug 2005, 6:07pm

i wear abit of make up, like foundation, mascara, a little bit of eyeshadow and eyeliner, and lipgloss (i love my lipgloss, but i ran out recently)....i dont like lots of make up ithink it looks crap....the less the better

i hate blush, i think it looks unnatural, and most ppl cant put it on properly and look stupid

ooo what is a good, safe brand of lip gloss???.....i dont like sticky ones or ones that stay on for 10 secs....i dont want a tinted one etha
a good quality, long lasting, glossy one
can any one help???

*smp*8 Aug 2005, 6:08pm

Well the super best lipgloss you can ever get is BLISTEX! There are like 15 different types for all different purposes but i think the best one is blistex in a tub, its called 'Blistex lip conditioner', its not sticky at all, its not tinted and it keeps your lips mositurised for ages, its glossy lookin too, and its easy to pick out form all the other blistex's because its the only one in a tub, the others are in tubes. Bilstex also comes in many different falvours for your enjoyment! haha, can you tell i love it?? lol
Enjoy the Blistex experience vixen

missvixen8 Aug 2005, 10:09pm

cheers babe

will have to get some

um where do i get it from???

~Em~8 Aug 2005, 10:18pm

Blistex: any chemist and most super markets.

If your after a nice gloss lip glossy, a relly shiny one, you can't go past the body shop IMO

missvixen8 Aug 2005, 10:22pm

ooo friends have that, it is good, will prob get some

cheers hun

sally10 Aug 2005, 11:26pm

I reckon that for your skin and general well being fresh juice is the way to go! We just got this wicked juicer that you can pretty much put anything in and not get any pulp. I have a juice everyday and it makes things so much easier to do, like getting up early-you dont feel like your the walking dead and you can just get up and do stuff, it also gives you heaps of energy for the day. highly recommended !

missvixen10 Aug 2005, 11:36pm

mmm i want a juicer, yum

...i got some lip gloss 2 day boys and girls. ChapStick overnight treatment.........is this ok smp?
its say that it will moisturise and make my lips look younger woohoo
i only brought it cos it said 'treatment' on it
it doesnt taste real good, but it feels good on my lips. its not glossy but it is clear........next time i think i will just use vasoline....(why didnt i think of that before hmmm)

a good face mask is egg btw ppl.
use the egg yolk for dry skin and the white for oily skin (i think thats the right way round).....a friend recomends it and she swares by it

sally10 Aug 2005, 11:45pm

well done on the lip gloss!

I dunno how much i wanna smear egg all over my face but gotta try everything once i guess! The Body Shop has a really good masks too, i use one called Basil purifying mask. Its really good, makes your skin sliky

missvixen10 Aug 2005, 11:47pm

ooo i will try it sometime, cheers for the tip

yea i have been a bit reluctant to use egg to but she says it works.....maybe i would do it drunk

....destroy my skin while i improve it lol

sally10 Aug 2005, 11:53pm

hey why not its a win win situation, just remember to wash it off again, you dont wanna be waking up with that on your face, could lead to all sorts of scary thoughts........ :S

hahaha

missvixen10 Aug 2005, 11:55pm

LMFAO!!! thanks for the tip, that is so something i would do lol

*imagines self stumbelin round looking like an omlet*

mel11 Aug 2005, 12:18pm

blistex and chapstick contain petrolium base which actually dry your lips out, thats why you get addicted to them! if you want a lipgloss, use QV lipgloss which is clear or try a Jurlique or any other natural beeswax one.

sally11 Aug 2005, 1:47pm

oh my god im so devistated to here that Blistex is bad! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! thanks for the warning though

mel11 Aug 2005, 2:33pm

well miss vixen better not use vasoline on her lips either... that IS petrolium jelly.
another product you may have heard of an can use for anythig, including on the lips is paw paw ointment... in a red tub or tube, from pharmacies and found either in the baby or first aid section

im full of useless info!

considering i was a clinique counter manager at a pharmacy until a month ago, i dont push clinique too much!

eskimopie11 Aug 2005, 4:19pm

Thanks for the tip mel, Im addicted to chapstick, thought it was better than vasoline. I'll try jurlique next time.

Can anyone recomend some good hair products to protect from heat and good for styling? Ive been growing my hair and have just bought a straightener. I used to use gel/wax but looking to try something new.

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 5:05pm

im never gonna be able to get a good lip gloss

why do they have to tease me with bad ones, no fair

so basically wat u r saying mel is dont buy any popular lipglosses or anyones that look pretty?

i have reasonably straight hair eskimopie, but when i do straighten it i just spray a bit of hair spray on it......... i rekon this would be bad too huh....... i hate bad chemicals

sally11 Aug 2005, 5:13pm

A good hair straightening blam that i use is Redken 05 Straight, its pretty good, theres also this other stuff by Redken that is great if you are using a hot hair straightner, i cant remember what its called but its a spray and is in a brown spray bottle, its really really good, gives you that hair dresser hair look and feel

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 5:18pm

im looking to get a hair straightna. i dont know much about them (neva ownd 1 just use friends), what would be a cheep 1 that is good quality?

spiltek11 Aug 2005, 6:01pm

I used moisturiser once!!

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 6:13pm

um ok, were u talking about using moisturiser as a hair straightner or im general...cos if u used it as a hair straightner well ummmm

i love moisturinser, but im a little scared to tell u all wot i use incase u tell me its bad for me

ps is sorbolene ok, fragrance free..?
if not i dont own it! hehe

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 6:42pm

thats real nice of u lol.... well at least they wont have dry feet lol

*smp*11 Aug 2005, 7:07pm

I have just discovered the BEST mascara for you gals out there who have had a gutful of mascaras that end up halfway down your face after a few hours....

Revlon Colourstay Overtime Lash Tint....probably full of crap chemicals that go against my nature loving instincts, but it works...I put some on on Tuesday evening...I shower morning and night and I have not had to re-apply since then...serious.....bloody brilliant!!! I'll NEVER change back!!!

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 7:12pm

lol sounds good....hmmm a tint, what a good idea

i have never had a problem with mascara, even if i cry....i have never had those stupid black lines down my face, and i dont buy water proof
it sticks really good to my lashes and lasts a long time, but it never makes them look much longer or runs...hmmm any one know why this is? mel?

spiltek11 Aug 2005, 7:57pm

QUOTE(missvixen @ Aug 11 2005, 07:12 PM)

The binding agents used in all mascara are exactly the same its just the longer lasting has more binder in it. The environment (climate, humidty) also plays a large part in how the binding agents set. Hope this helps..

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 8:00pm

spiltek u moisturise, exfoliate, and know about mascara....something u not telling us?

jj

cheers babe

spiltek11 Aug 2005, 8:03pm

hahah tell ya the truth missvixen i have no idea wat i was talkin bout with the last post.... honest

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 8:04pm

lol sure u didnt

*smp*11 Aug 2005, 8:14pm

spiltek is a woman....she lied when she joined up!!!

This tint don't help to make my eyelashes look any longer (I don't think any mascaras do really)...just darker...and me being a blondey (don't judge by my contact card photo) I need darker lashes ha ha ha...this stuff rocks!!!!

spiltek11 Aug 2005, 8:16pm

lol smp971 far from it believe me

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 8:24pm

the tips of ur eyelashes r lighter than the rest, so using mascara will darken the tips and give the illusion that ur eyelashes are longer

*smp*11 Aug 2005, 8:26pm

that pic in ya contact card is ya boyfriend...we're onto you bucko

missvixen11 Aug 2005, 8:35pm

eskimopie13 Aug 2005, 9:20am

Thanks for the redkin tip Sally. Probably more than I wanted to spend, but if it's a really good product I wont mind. Might go to price attack and check them out.

As for the straightener missvixen, I was told to make sure it is ceramic plates and teflon coated. I got the Remington slimline for $80 at target. They also have a wet to dry for a little more. The good thing about this one is it heats up in 30 seconds and it is brilliant.

~Em~13 Aug 2005, 12:09pm

When it comes to hair straighteners, its worth spending that little bit extra to ensure you are getting a good quality straightener that isn't going to damage your hair (well, no more than necessary!)

Definately get one with ceramic plates, thats for sure!

IMO, the best on the market at the moment are GHD, and silver bullet.

The silver bullet is slightly chepaer than the GHD, and they are both generally around the $250 mark, unless you find them on special...

If you go to Hairhouse warehouse at TTP.... they have some great specials here and there. And i"m pretty sure they are the cheapest around too.

Last time I was there, you could get a silver bullet with a bonus hairdryer for a smidge under $200.

I highly recommend Claudia at Hairhouse warehouse for getting cuts/colours etc... she is absolutely brilliant!

nickdub13 Aug 2005, 1:38pm

my wife uses and recommends mukti products on her clients, all natural. if anyone wants any information on them, pm me, and i shall get carlie to call you about them.

Kandii is right above....in my opinion GHD are the VERY BEST straighteners money can buy (and I have very curly hair naturally so I know my straighteners believe me), and like anything you have to pay big dollar$ for the best, but on my old mate ebay they sell for about $180. Better than $280+ retail and they are the genuine article....love my GHD!!!! Love Ebay!!!

OMG I never thought to look for straightners on Ebay! and I'm an ebay junkie!!! Thanks hun!!!

And Sally, I too use pink flamingo on my hair, but am yet to find anything that gives the same bright colour but is more lasting

If I come accross anything, I'll let u know for sure!!

~Em~6 Sep 2005, 12:07am

One question I do have.... I need a balancing moisturiser for my face. I have an oily tzone, but dry everywhere else, and I can't seem to find a suitable moisturiser. For about the last 6 months, I have constantly had blemishes/pimples on me chin and forehead... and no matter what I do, I just can't get rid of them!!!

Can anyone help????

sally6 Sep 2005, 12:35am

thanks Kandii, if i find colour that last longer ill let you know too.

I use this moisturiser form tha body shop called Jojoba daily hydrating moisture cream, its really really good for oily skin and generally good from dry skin. but if you have really dry skin they have heaps of other hydrating creams in there too so have a look around

Oh yeah and Cetephil is also really good for unbalanced skin and really good and keeping the blemishes away

*smp*6 Sep 2005, 8:14am

Hey babe...me too with the T-zone and blemishes...I have this book that tells me that washing your face with a benzol peroxide wash and using a moisturiser that has Glycolic acid in it helps...I've found one called Neo Strata that is working really well...my skin is looking better lately than ever before...glycolic acid also helps with skin discolouration too which is an added bonus (damn you Aussie sun

)

Oldskoolie6 Sep 2005, 9:49am

Hair - GHD are by far the best hair straightners around these days. And available in PINK!!!! What makes them so good is that they create negetively charged ions where most other brands (ceramic or not) produce positively charged ions which in the long term damage the hair.

An alternative is chemical straighting. Goldwell have a product called 'Straight and shine' which does exactly that. Straight and Shine actually breaks the bond within the hair and resets it creating straight hair. The process costs on average anywhere between $500 and $1000 and the results are worth every cent, provided you care for it as recommended. This process is not available on all types of hair, ie afro american, wirey woggy hair etc. I have seen the results and highly recommend, but it does grow out.

Facial products - Dermalogica all the way!!!! There is no point in me spouting off actual Dermalogica product names as everyone's skin is different, and will require different products. The best thing if you are iterested is to go in and ask for a Dermalogica Face Mapping. Its free, and you recieve small samples of the products required for your daily regime.

Make up - Napoleon is the way to go.

Sydney based make-up manufacturer Napoleon Perdis has created a brand like no other. For example, you can use eye shadow colour as a lip colour just by mixing the colours differently. And mixing the colours with the bases yourself minimizes wastage. The range of colours is huge. I cant explain this product well enough myself, but from what i have seen of it so far... It is truley amazing. Napoleon apears to be an expensive product, but when you look at how long it lasts it really isnt expensive at all. Check out www.napoleoncosmetics.com for more info.

Trust me, all this info comes form a good source.

a fudge hair colour that is cheaper and available in pharmicies and some pricelines is calles WAKK STAIN, it is cheaper and does the same thing, it is made by fudge but because "fudge" is salon only, they have re-packaged it for pharmacy.

and no colour that intense will ever last long- ask any hairdresser!

good skincare: thalgo MD Formulations! their glycolic cream is awsome!!

HI!
Its Marcia here... You have combination skin, quite normal. There are definetely products especially made for you. I have the same condition and have been using a really good moisturising system on daily basis. Once a fortnight you may also want to indulge in a scrub and a mask. What I do is use a mineral masque on the t-Zone to draw out inpurities and then a hydrating mask on my cheek area.
Come and see me and I'll give you a facial and then you can feel your skin afterwards.
I sent you my private e-mail address and mobile to your e-mail account.

OK KIRSTY'S NEW FAV PRODUCT: Johnsons 'Holiday Skin' Moisturiser
body lotion with a tiny amount of tan in it

...looks a little yellow on day 2, but by 4 or 5 it looks wonderful

even with shaving/exfoliating it doesnt wear away too much...now i use it every 2 or 3 days, but may change to 4 or 5 cause it keeps getting darker everytime u use it.

as with all tan products, exfoliate b4 hand and make sure you dont get it over the really dry patches of skin (or you end up with strange looking brown patches)

might have to get a before and after pic.....just dont think i took any pics while i was stark white tho LOL

You know guys, I use a $2 shampoo and conditioner, an dit is the best stuff I have ever used!

For the last 4 years I have been a salon product only girl. I stumbled accross these products when having a shower at my mums. I used it once, and I've never gone back! My hair has never looked so good!

Its called Organic Care, and u can get it in any good supermarket

Agreed... Blistex is THE BEST!! I take my tub everywhere with me! It is the NUMBER 1 item in my rave bag before anything else!

As for hair products, i have to say i cant go past PPS!. I use their shampoos, conditioners and especially their mosituriser everytime i wash my hair.

The moisturiser is so good, by itself or with anti-frizz, i let my horridly wavey hair dry naturally and with this stuff it turns out gorgeous, no blow-drying requried for sexy Kylie Minogue waves!

Blistex contains phenol as most of the lip balms do, which actually dries out your lips, requiring you to reapply most often.

Try and look for one without lanolin and phenol, such as lipsed (in the tube only, the stick contains lanolin). And steer away from Vaseline, as someone else mentioned, as not only is it a petroleum by-product, but it is occlusive (so is Sorbolene cream) which whilst it traps moisture in, will also remain on the skin long after you think it has gone, and not let further moisture in. Just try having a spray tan done after having applied baby oil or sorbelene!

As for the Jurlique lip balm, love Jurlique but not loving the lip balm - horrible!

The Lucas pawpaw that some one mentioned ages ago is fantastic, cheap and the pawpaw actually contains enzymes that exfoliate your lips so you don't have to scruff them yourself. I use it on every makeup I do and convert most clients to it.

Been using it for about 3 weeks now & it seems to be making a difference - got complimented on the colour of my legs when I wore a skirt to work the other day, so it's having an effect! And it looks totally natural too - not like the fake tans I saw at the 36'ers game last night

Have you tried Target?? When it first came out, I tried Big W, Priceline, K-Mart & a million supermarkets but they were all sold out. Finally found it at Target

Will definitely grab a couple extra & bring them on Sunday for you Miss K if I find some this weekend!

The David Jones brand fake tan (in a bright orange & yellow pump container) is also very good - no yucky orange bits!

a good mascara, and my fave at the moment is Revlon Colourstay lash tint....it doesn't make your lashes look any longer or fatter than any other mascara will, but I only apply it every couple of days (and I have two showers per day), so l guarantee it will not run....great stuff...like having your lashes tinted wthout the hassle!!!

Here's one for the guys out there, 'DEODARANT' ...............Shit, the amount of times I am talking/dancing near someone and almost upchuck at the smell.

Alright, you may be hot/sweaty/on gear or whatever which makes the problem worse. but if you can spend the money on party enhancments! you can spend the money on a descent deodarant

Lab series for men from aramis, $50 odd bucks, No scent, lasts for ages and is outstanding. (have been totally off tap dancing my arse off for hours, and could wear the same shirt the next day ,"if I wanted"......because it doesn't SMELL of B.O.).

Ok that's a fucken lot to pay for a deodarant stick, but look at it as an investment in social standings

Posted by: KandiRaver Nov 21 2005, 09:17 AM

Totally agreed. I hate it when guys come over and dance next to you and reak of BO. The worst thing is you then have to leave the fantastic spot you found and find another one on the dance floor... then hope the guy doesnt take it as an invitation to follow you!! This may not be a problem for you guys, but i know it has happened to me many-a-time and i'm sure to many other chickies out there too.

Posted by: Ravvy Nov 21 2005, 10:14 AM

yeah like... i use roll on deodorant AND spray on stuff... cos i think that spray on stuff when i mixes with BO turns into some funky concoction that i'd rather leave for the middle of nowhere...

So i 'rollon' and then get dressed and then i 'sprayon' and then im a happy chooken all night!!!

BOdorant is SOOOO not the in stench at the moment, AND its not just blokes either, ive stood next to many a stenchy gal when im out, or even not out just around...

but for guys here's also a good tip, dont spray under your arms so much, use soap more because the chemicals in sprays react with your skin AND your sweat and thats when you STINK if you dont deodorise, trust me we did this as an experiment, the first week we couldnt stand to go near him, the second week we couldnt smell a thing...

but when your out, go the LYNX: Africa boys... omgosh that gets me going!!!!!!
I mean... yeah it smells kinda nice...

happy to oblige... tourette's attacks are a special talent I've picked up and it doesn't take me too much to launch into one.. smelly people need to be told and there is no better way to get thru to a sweaty, smelly raver that they stink than to let loose with the profanity!

michr21 Nov 2005, 10:18am

Posted by: HEFTY Nov 21 2005, 10:22 AM

Thats why I use a good quality deodarant, no aluminium, no scent, hardly sweat under the arms, even in the most extreme conditions. All of my friends have tried it (even chicks) and where all totally amazed at the difference between a cheap supermarket brand, and a quality one. It also lasts up to 3 times longer, I have had my deo stick for at least 4 months now and still have 1/3 left.
OH, and here's another tip.......... get a deodarant with no scent so it won't compete your cologne

We shudnt just be blaming the blokes for the BO problem.. I've bumped into some nasty smelling chix at raves.. my nose is ultra sensitive to that sorta crap n i throw up almost everytime i smell it.. admittedly guys are the worst offenders thou.. there is no excuse for offending people like that.. if your that bloody broke then buy the el-cheapo stuff from the supermarket.. take it with u.. n apply every couple of hours.. dont ruin everyone who dances next to you's nite.. we wanna party too.. not spend half the nite in the bathroom gaging from your smell

then week 2 keep exfoliating everyday but apply the moisturiser everyday too

....the other day I bought a GHD hair straightener and, coming from someone who has hair that is naturally like a spiral perm, I must say that this thing is 'the shit'......admittedly GHD's are very expensive but now that I have used it a few times I can say the price tag is so worth it.

for blonde hair i'd recommend john frieda sheer blonde shampoo and conditioner. ive tried so many different ones and its works great to stop the brassiness and keeps hair shiny and silky. not too badly priced about $15 a bottle. they also have a brunette and redhead range too which are probably just as good.

for a good body moisturiser i like the St Ives range, i get real dry skin especially in winter and the extra dry 24hr moisturiser works great. about $6 a bottle and has lasted me a year.

KittiChikr31 Jul 2006, 2:34pm

is St Ives fragrenced?

i have really dry legs at the moment and they are now massivley burised up coz of my constant scratching, but i'm allergic to fragrences.. so i'm trying to find something that will moisturise without irritating...

for foundations i always have trouble (going orange etc) but since ive found loreal trumatch, i havent had any problems.

i don't have any symptoms just irritated legs!

i use PPS Classic FX on my hair.. and love it my hair is so soft and smells great!
plus i also use an anti-dandruff shampoo... i spend forever in the shower just washing my hair! i probably go a bit overboard, but when you put as much peroxide in your hair as i do then i can't be making it any worse!

also on my hair after i wash it i use a little bit of this stuff on the ends. i got it from just cuts, its by Edgy and its in a pink bottle im pretty sure its called smooth and grume. only need a tiny bit and stops fuzziness and split ends

oh and Celeste, i get irritated skin easily too. the one i have im pretty sure isnt fragranced as i have problems too. they have a huge range just check it out at priceline

CELESTE: Cetaphil... available from the chemist. Its not expensive at all... and can be used on the face or body.

Its a fragrance free moisturiser for dry/sensitive/problem skin. I've been using it as my face moisturiser for about 6 months, and I'm still on the same bottle, which cost me $10.

They have a massive range of products, including face & body washes etc...

Well worth trying for only $10

snap on all of these recommendations babe....

MAC make the best lip glosses, they are generally $30 but worth it as they actually stay on longer than five minutes!!! All of their products are good actually.

Redken C.A.T. is like a first aid kit for my totally abused hair....highly recommend this product for anyone that colours their hair

Loreal Pure Zone....good stuff!!!

....not so sure about that holiday skin though....good moisturiser, but I haven't seen a difference in my skin tone at all, but then I'm naturally more tanned than most people so maybe it won't work for me anyways....

What you need is still a bronzer but the lighter shades that gets used as highlighters. For lack of another specific example, have a look at the nutrimetics one at my house, it has two colours in the compact, the lighter shade is perfect for fair skin. Then you know what shades to look for in the shops...

~Em~10 Aug 2006, 10:02am

My fave product at the moment is Clearisil Ultra Deep Pore Scrub. (the one that says "clearer skin in just 3 days)

As I have problem skin which is dry and sensitive, I've never been able to use clearisil, as it was too harsh on my skin. But now this new 'ultra' range they have is not harsh, not drying... and I've noticed the difference alright!!

Even tho it is a scrub, its gentle enough to use all day. Its awesome, I'd definitely recommend this for anyone who has a problem with breakouts

KandiRaver10 Aug 2006, 10:26am

Not worth the money!

Not only does it make your lashs thicker and longer but the little plastic comb thingy keeps each lash seperated.

My all time favourite foundation is Revlon Colourstay.

It took me a while to find the best foundation for me but when i found this it was like a miracle!

It stays on all day and has great coverage for all your spots and marks you dont want anyone to see.

Face of australia used to make my favourite concealer in liquid form then they discontinued it to a stick form which is nowhere near as good.

Now i need to search for a new one

Sever acne scaring will definatly have to be lasered...but if you only have minor scaring, i think Retin A cream is what the dermatologists prescribe.

don't quote me on that, i'm not 100% sure, but it sounds right.

i suggest you see APSA (Adelaide Plastic Surgery Associates)

if you want contact details, PM me, but the doctor i see will try and stear you away from laser as it's really expensive... she is fantastic! Highly Recommended.

Can this lasering thing get rid of chicken pox scars too ?

I say embrace your chicken pox scars! i have them all over my body... and i actually love them! plus it makes it easier if you want to pierce yourself coz then those scars kinda blend in.

of course it depends how sever the scaring is. mine are only little white spots.. kinda look like water droplets.

Dragoon14 Aug 2006, 4:24pm

coco butter by palmers is great for getting rid off scars stretch marks
i used it on smilies that were all up my arm from my young dumb stage

but i am using this dove moisteriser at the moment that tints your skin and turns it brown so much better for your skin than solarium or lying out in the sun

i was affraid that it would turn me orange but it hasn't

omg i use mac foundation. best stuff ever. i've got really sesitive skin and its very uneven tone as well. mac select foundation is wicked. you get awesome coverage and it doesnt block up your pores like most coverage foundations. i also dont need to use a concealer with it which makes me twice as stoked

awesome stuff.. and the rest of their makeup and skin care is awesome! highly recommended

and if you wanna try a natural alternative for scarring rosehip oil is really good. i use it on my scars from my piercings and surgery and its really good.. you can use it for dermatitis and other dry skin problems too. zhakar make one.. its about $50 a bottle. but its really good stuff. theres a shop on unley rd somewhere.

I'm buying a pressie for a friend and he currenly doesn't wear anything special. I was after expensive brand name (it is a pressie after all) i've had these suggestions so far, any comment on the list below or additions to it (with an outline of the sent would be so appreciated):

Marc Jacobs for Men

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male

Bvlgari

I dont think any guys like Jean Paul Gaultier (well I dont anyway) except for the bottle design. I reckon you should get Armani Acqua Di Gio, Givenchy Homme Blue label, Hugo Boss (its got a sweet smell but I dont know the name), Armani Black, and any by Davidoff. Go to all the fragrance places and have a sniff. I'll buy a girl a perfume depending on her character/personality.

vasaline is a really good lip gloss... it moisturises your lips, and if you do kiss someone easly wiped off!

Went to get a haircut today and going for a slightly different style

Bought some gel from there made in Germany by Goldwell called Wild (top of the line hairdressers gel) for $19.50. You need shit all in your hair and it does a perfect job. It definately beats all the brands you buy in a Supermarket.

The brand is advertised in FHM etc. The logo has a little red square next to the wording of the logo. Most guys would have seen the logo around.

Recommended if you're willing to spend close to $20 on hair gel though.

Elektro Kitten7 Sep 2006, 9:36am

yeah goldwell is pretty common, used a few of their products, can get it a priceline usually too

tip: never buy supermarket brands of styling products - unless thats all you can afford.....they are crap in comparison to the products hairdressers use and recommend, and you generally have to use twice as much so in the end you won't save money anyway....same goes for shampoo

on that note - Price Attack in the mall have litres of Joico K-Pak shampoo and conditioner for $20 (usually around $40 - $50 for a litre). This is seriously one of the best quality shampoos in my opinion, and I will buy it purely for the smell of the product

mmmm, fruit salad and bananas

I've just become a major fan of Napoletan make up!! the stuff rocks.. and it didn't irritate my sensitive face.. i don't acutally know if it's hypo-allergenic or not, but i'm happy with it.

So many eyeshadow colours to chose from.. and i found the staff at TTP and Marion to be so friendly and willing to give you a full expliantion and demonstration of the products...

{Bunny}15 Mar 2007, 5:15pm

OK, I have an absolutely awesome product!! Some of you may know if it, and some may not...

But it's called "Bio-Oil"

You can buy it from any good chemist...It's about $20 for 60 ml...But it's oil, so you get very good value for your money as you only need a tiny bit of it as it spreads so far!

It comes in an orange little cylinder type bottle with a white lid and it's awesome!!

It helps for scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and dehydrated skin...

As alot of you know, I'm always in the wars

And I have been using this for over a year now...Especially on graises and cuts, anything that would normally scar and the results are awesome!

I've just started using it on my latest injury and am seeing results already...

And I have been using it on stretch marks and broken veins of mine for a year as well, and it does help! It makes them ALOT less noticeable!

Give it a try

skitzkitty19 Mar 2007, 1:22pm

David Jones own label fake tan is awesome! The Holiday skin type products don't really get my skin dark enough, but DJs stuff is great - no streaks, patches or orange bits!

Shower gel - go to a place like Auroma at Glenelg & get yourself some unscented shower gel. Last time I bought it, it was $34 for 5 litres - which has lasted us for nearly a year! It's great for sensitive skin & you can add your own oils etc if you want. Lime & lemongrass is my favourite combo & great for my oily skin

Body scrub - you can't go past brown sugar crystals & coffee grounds mixed together with a little oil (macadamia is good, or you can use liquid glycerin) Smells yummy, the caffeine stimulates blood flow & it's dirt cheap!

MOR body butter in Pomegranate rocks - only problem is it smells so delicious I wanna eat it

The make up is good, its the make up artist that you need to check out...find out how long she's been doing make up and ask her if she has done this "type" of make up before...whatever style you're going for... And get her to agree that she'll remove it and start again if you dont like it... this last bit always works for me...they pay more attention.

Yeah it may look horrible, but you shouldn't be so mean! alot of girls pile on the foundation maybe because they have scars or acne, which they believe looks alot worse then an overdone face!

Most girls know how to apply make up to look natural, so you have to think that those who use a bit to much are probably trying to cover something!

I would like a shampoo and condtioner or serum that makes my hair nice and shiny

I have a serum, but it's pretty heavy and doubles as a styler too. While this could be good and cost saving it doesn't appeal to me.

I want something light but that does the trick.

Most days these days, and even most times when I go out i don't STYLE my hair, it's all pretty natural which is why i want a serum that will just give the shine to my hair. If I want my hair styled, I can do that my own.

Or a shampoo and conditioner that does the same thing would be worth me trying I reckon.

My hair's pretty trained these days and will do whatever I want it to.

their wax is all natural, and when i use to get waxed at other places i would turn red raw n be itchy because of my eczema but when i go to them i dont.

So i've decided to go to The Body Shop! It's only $25 and even tho you can't actually redeem that for make up i figured i'd give 'em a chance!

There's alot more to looking good than glowing.

Along with pregnancy comes the breakouts, not being able to dye your hair, do your nails. Basically anything that has a chemical gas/fume/smell to it, I can't participate in.

Just little things that I used to do to perk myself up when I was feeling a bit bored or down about my appearance.

Elektro Kitten18 Jul 2007, 5:57pm

hair colour shouldn't be an issue. I'd suggest maybe dying your hair back to its natural colour so you don't have mega mega regrowth lol regrowth sucks... There are natural types of colourings out there too, and chemical free ones. Check out organic places online or maybe at the markets. Should be able to find something

Sang18 Jul 2007, 6:02pm

Is it better to go with the grey or just dye it black?? I'm kinda deciding what route I should take in regards to my hair finally showing its age. I found my first semi-grey hair today and plucked it from my head **ouchies**

{Bunny}18 Jul 2007, 6:31pm

QUOTE(Elektro Kitten @ Jul 18 2007, 06:57 PM)

Hair colour IS an issue for me. I've been reading and reading about it. While there is mixed opinions out there, and people saying that they dyed their hair while pregnant and came out fine, there's also people out there that have dyed their hair and mis-carried. While there is no PROOF that this is all linked it's still something to be cautious about IMO

I have considered getting a natural hair dye, but my mum uses them and they don't seem to look very good in my opinion.

Ace suggested that I dye my hair darker, because I have been dying it blonde for a while. He thought that a darker dye would have less harmful chemicals in it. While he is right, because darker dyes wouldn't have as much if any peroxide in them, they can still be harmful.

And I think the chemical free ones wouldn't do what I wanted. I need the freaking chemicals to be blonder

I'm still unsure of what I wnt to do. But since finding out that I was pregnant I have done everything else right, I don't want to stuff that up now and risk mis-carrying. That would break my heart.

At the end of the day it's all personal choice, some pregnant chose to be IMO selfish and do whatever they like without thinking about the out come, some don't.

I think what I WILL definitely do is wait another few months until I'm out of my first 20 weeks, and then MAYBE dye my hair.

I'm still only 8 weeks, almost 9, so I don't want to put my little fetus at risk.

I'm trying to find out if Toning my hair would be anywhere near the same as dying, but can't seem to find any information on it.

KandiRaver19 Jul 2007, 1:18pm

Might be a good idea to actually see a hairdresser and talk to them about it! it was my understanding that there was a certain time during the pregnancy when you were actually able to die your hair!?!

{Bunny}19 Jul 2007, 2:42pm

Not all that keen on going to see a hairdresser about it really, I would rather see a doctor. But again, both opinions are one or the other, fine or cautious. So again I don't think it would help me much.

The time frame to wait is from 12 - 20 weeks. Some say after the first trimester (12 weeks) others say to wait until you're after 20 weeks. Which is what I'll be doing.

Just have to put up with sh*t hair until then. Good thing I don't go anywhere

Just brought a new hairstraightner (my other one died). It's a Remington Nano Gold. It cost $100 and came with a carry bag, hot mat, comb and hair clips.. i'm quite impressed.. i used it the other night and was very very impressed.

It has a digital temp setting and my old straightner wouldn't do anything uless it was set on 200 degrees but this new one was set at 170 and i might even drop it down to 150!

The reason i brought it was because i was given an old straightner from a friend, also a Remingnton) and it lasted ages, so i'm assuming (hoping) that this one also has a long life.

Elektro Kitten7 Aug 2007, 7:53pm

Watch out for artificial sugar like zylotol etc... - they may be lighter in kj's but they also make you
1) dehydrate
2) make you hungrier

So if you have a diet drink you'll want to follow it with a bowl of chips after

same goes for diet softdrinks.

froggy8 Aug 2007, 12:56pm

ok i have a question. I have been wondering about moisturisers (sp) for my face. I want to prevent wrinklers but am only 26 and don't know what i should be using. Every time i look its either to repair wrinkled skin or for young faces. Is there anything i should use, or just normal moisturisers will do

KandiRaver8 Aug 2007, 1:27pm

I was under the impression that in your early 20's you use a moistursier with SPF/sunscreen.. late 20's to 30's you use an anti-wrinckle cream then in your 40's onwards use a mosturise designed for mature skin..

is that right!?!

To help prevent wrinkles don't Olay have a mosturiser designed to "fight the 7 signes of ageing"? is that what you would be after?

This post has been edited by KandiRaver: Aug 8 2007, 01:28 PM

froggy8 Aug 2007, 3:22pm

yeah i thought so but not sure if i should use that yet

{Bunny}9 Aug 2007, 12:27am

It doesn't matter what age you start using moisturisers/age fighting creams really.

It just makes more sense to use certain ones at certain ages.

I have been using an AVON one that moisturisers and repairs certain signs of aging since I was 18 and I reckon my skin looks pretty swell

Don't forget that sun and laughter and other things cause wrinkles and drying out of skin etc not just aging

You might find that you have to try a few brands until you find the one that works best for you. I did.

If you aren't sure what to use, perhaps go and speak to some different counter ladies? I'd recommend dermatoliga, jurlique, clinique and aveda.

this doesn't mean you need to buy THEIR products, but see what advice they can offer

Elektro Kitten9 Aug 2007, 9:35am

Use something with SPF is all i can say. That is the most important thing. Sun is a killer, especially in Australia. And like Em said, go see someone; don't necessarily buy their product, but get them to tell you about your skin type, so you know what type of range to go for

The ladies behind the counters are there to sell THEIR products, so all advice will be 100% biased towards their sales target. If you went to different counters they'll give you the same advice in general terms (oily, dry etc) and then proceed to give you the mumbo jumbo about their products will help best...

QUOTE(froggy @ Aug 8 2007, 12:56 PM)

Women in Europe, france in particular, start using anti-wrinkle creams at 20. Considering the sun is much harsher and we spend a lot of time out on the sun, it makes sense for women to start using anti wrinkle stuff in their early twenties. If you have dry skin then you should start very early.

If you dont have damage, then repair creams are not necessary, anti wrinkle is a better option. Moisturisers with spf are generally too oily, good if you have dry skin, not so good for everyone else. I would prefer a foundation with spf, then you can remove it as soon as you get home!!

two questions:

1. Where is the best place (and I dont mean on your body) to get waxed? For a guy that is - other than Essential Beauty?

2. What should I put on my skin? Last time I got waxed I broke out in a rash which didnt look that good with a tank top!

groover7 Sep 2007, 6:04pm

1. why dont you try a place that is specific for guys grooming- like 'destination for men', not sure if they do waxing but its worth a ring. thet're on unley road.

2. mate you got a rash coz the person doing the waxing had poor hygine. either the wax had bits from other people, through the double dipping of the spatula into the wax. or she didnt clean your skin properly when she started.

if your skin gets bumpy, but its not a rash, get some aloe vera gel that has been put in the fridge overnight and you'll get the swelling down.

Best moisturiser ever (particularly if you spend a bit of time outdoors, like I do) is Ego Sun Sense Daily Face matt formula. It's SPF 30+ & is excellent for oily skin (other sunscreen tends to leave my skin a bit greasy) Even better, it's only about $9.00 a tube from Priceline - it doesn't attract GST as it's classed as sunscreen, not make-up!

thats fair enough, however if u decide to go with the smokey look i can help you out with the eye shadow.

{Bunny}24 Jan 2008, 11:16pm

Celeste if you don't want anything too harsh maybe opt for light grey/silver smokey look?

If the dress is really metallic I wouldn't opt for a metallicy looking eyeshadow.

alli50024 Jan 2008, 11:58pm

or you could maybe try natural eyeshadow with deep eyeliner and heaps of mascara.. and then maybe a touch of colour in lipgloss??

{Bunny}25 Jan 2008, 12:12am

Both ideas are good. Experiment with them, put the dress on, see which looks best?

Personally I would go a natural eye look and the colour in the lips.

KandiRaver25 Jan 2008, 7:16pm

thanks for the suggestions girls! i managed to talk to my friend who know's make up and she also suggested the nude eyes and lip colour! so i think i'll look at giving that a try.

What about that men-only salon I've heard advertised on the radio - is it down Brighton sort of way? They apparently give you a beer & screen sports on some big-ass TV

i go to an old employee from Janesce she does her waxing at her place and i only pay half price and she donates 20% to charity. she uses this wax that she applys and rips off there is no stripas such (cotton) that goes on top its just natural wax. and cuz of my allergies i dont even get red after waxing. i highly reccomend her or go to Janesce in Hyde park or norwood

Well I gave it a go.

For me, it washes great! De-tangles so I can continue not to brush my hair...But it leaves my hair feeling like it hasn't rinsed out properly and it feels like sh*t and gross, and knots easily.

I've tried stuffing around with different amount of amounts, lathering time etc But to no success.

Soooo I'm back to using my expensive Blonde shampoo on my Brunette hair

Not bothered, I'm bored of Brunette already anyway, so hopefully it'll fade quicker and I can re-dye it blonde.

Kez27 Mar 2008, 8:50am

don't they have one of those blondes ones for brunette and red heads??? if its the andrew collinge one i'm thinking of then i'm pretty sure that they do.

KandiRaver27 Mar 2008, 10:49am

John Frida has shampoos and conditioners designed for blonde / brunette and red heads...

I've gone back to PPS can't remember what one it is, but it's Classic FX in the bottles with the purple lid.. they are great, love them!! Not to expensive either. I've also invested in PPS Hair Moisturiser Classic FX and i put that on my wet hair and then blowdry it and it's so soft and silky, and doesn't feel weighted down with product.

I've got the L'Oreal one at home, but I don't really like it. It tends to "cake" quite a bit & just doesn't feel very nice. I'm used to liquid foundation - I've tried loads of others, but I keep coming back to Revlon Colourstay!!

Dermalogica have a liquid mineral foundation that I tried at one of their seminars which seems quite nice, but I haven't gotten around to actually buying it yet! Laura Mercier makeup is really nice - I don't actually own any, but went to a make-up class for her stuff ages ago. I'm pretty sure there's a mineral foundation in her range - maybe pop in to DJs for a consultation??

Also, I tried mineral make up, so not for me.

At the moment I'm using nutrimetics for all my skin & body care, and inglot for my make up.

If anyone is interested in nutrimetics, I am now a consultant and can order anything you need

KandiRaver2 Jul 2008, 6:29pm

I'm not sure in regards to actual skincare, but make up wise a doctor told me clinique was good.. it's to expensive for me tho so i usually opted for Almay at that stage. My skin is back to normal now, i use Inglot make up.

Skincare wise i use either QV or specially selected neutrogena products as per my dermatologists recommendation.

alli5002 Jul 2008, 6:31pm

what is inglot like for make up? I have see it around but am yet to try it..

KandiRaver2 Jul 2008, 6:38pm

~Em~2 Jul 2008, 7:04pm

inglot is brilliant... they have the best range of colours in everything, and their eye colours are also very high in pigment so the colour you see is the colour you'll get on your face.

Its pretty reasonably priced too I thought

I bought:

under foundation base (primer)
liquid foundation
5 eyeshadows & case
foundation brush
eyeshadow brush

all for $162!!

{Bunny}2 Jul 2008, 8:48pm
