Beauty And Skin Care Tips From Our Beautiful Ladies

[Roger]

I had the same experience with bare minerals as girlgirms... it just didn't look good on me and seemed to age me, I look better when you can see my skin, lol... BUT, when I saw the commercial for their new foundation I had an AHA moment and I dug out the mineral powder that I had from a few years ago and I figured I'd make my own. So I took an empty cream container and squeezed in some light moisturizer I've been using (Meaningful Beauty) and added bare minerals powder a little at a time until I had the color I wanted and stirred with a baby spoon and was very pleased at how it turned out... perfect tinted moisturizer and it looks good on me.

Welcome back Roger... I missed you!!!! Oh yeah, about the sunless tanning creme... I had a $50.00 gift certificate for Nordstroms so I decided to use it for that... went to one of the counters and the girl helped me find one that was under 50.00. It is called Dr. Dennis Gross (Glow) 40.00... I remember telling the girl if my last name was Gross I would never put my name on a product, lol... but I do love this stuff and a little goes a super long way.. just a dot here and there, I've had it for a year now and still have some left.

Missed you too Girl! This is the best tread! 😉 I've got some Roden &Field self tanner that I bought last year and never used. Going to dab a little on tomorrow and see how it does.

Does anyone else get sheet streaks if they self tan before bed? Ha!

@2Earls, is the liquid eyeliner in a pen like thing? I've started using this kind of eyeliner with this brush.  I don't know how to use the liquid kind in a pen, I make a mess.





and i'm trying to get this look! This is what I went to the clinique counter and got "training" for lol



I'll have to do a little demo when I get good at it.

Also I'm obsessed with this perfume. It just came out I guess. I use the "toilette" version because the "parfum" kind is just a bit overwhelming to me. But I spray this on and mmmmmmm......Hours and hours later it's like it has gone through several different "shades" of the fragrance and the nice notes stick to my skin and clothes.



More about that micowave wax. I got sidetracked today !

Love the suggestions - Dr. Gross, Fake Bake & Jergens (which I have used for a couple of years and love. the smell isn't too bad either) for the tanning and LOVE suzie's home-made foundation. How clever!!

Also someone mentioned the chemical peel?? Once when I was 20 (and in NO  WAY needed a damn chemical peel) I was working in a doctor's office and this nurse practitioner got me to "demonstrate" a chemical peel for these women (I had break outs and whatnot at the time) and WOW!!!!!!!

Even on young and healthy skin, that chemical peel was AMAZING. I could not get OVER IT !

I am dying to try the Obagi stuff.

AJ, the MAC eyeliner will give you that exact look. It's a small brush in a tube (like mascara). I'm pretty experienced with applying eyeliner, but like Cat, I hate spending a long time getting ready.

Always looking for something that works well and is fast and easy. I've used the type in your pic and find them more time consuming, but still can be good.

I probably have 30 different eyeliners (make-up junkie) and I don't like the pens either.

I'm going to have to amaze and revolt you ladies with a picture of my collection. Just another addiction

Now how about some make-up tios?

Hi buddy. Time to go remove my make-up.

 

[Yukon4E2]

I like to see your collection and drool over it 2Earls

 

[yellowbelly]

/default_ph34r.png Here's mine... What do you think..? ( I guess I got a little too carried away with the eyeshadow)..I need to talk to HB, and figure out how he puts his makeup on... /default_cool.png

Have a good night 2E... /default_smile.png

 

[Yukon4E2]

[Guest]

Have you NO shame YB? Lol!

Right, how about a tip on moisturising for Mr PTFC? An ex girlfriend used to make me or actually moisturise my face herself. An under eye cream and some face moisturiser from Boots the chemist. Nowadays I just slabber on an aloe vera based body cream on to my face. Just enough for my face not to go shiny though. Is that cool? Or am I being a twat?

 

[Guest]

Men SHOULD moisturize! It is just going to keep your skin looking great. I force the Otter to do glycolic peels too. He pretends to grumble but i KNOW that his gorgeous skin looks even better than it did! Boots is good stuff. When I do a glycolic peel on him, i make sure that it is at LEAST six or seven hours after shaving....it would sting really bad otherwise.

If I was a man, I would use a serum woth hyaluronic acid (it wont born after shaving like vitamin c or glycolic acid serum) and a good eye cream and face moisturizer.

Look at his beautiful skin!

Cat, Otter is such a handsome man... I'm good at reading faces and some people (not many) have such soulful eyes like otter... it means their heart is open as opposed to walled up for protection.

Yep, he's a hottie! Just like mine :wub:

 

[Roger]

I want an Otter. And an eye lift! 😀

 

[PTFC]

Yeah, his skin does look great! I am quite baby-faced, but I will have a look for something with hyaluronic? acid then?

I am very excited about this topic. Early in the thread there was talk of acne and problem skin. Unfortunately that is something I know a lot about. Adult acne has been the worst thing for my confidence and I have had it now for 11 years. I just found an amazing product for moderate to seviere acne. Its from Gunilla of Sweeden and its their Lerosett clay face mask. It pulls out every nasty toxin living and breeding in your pores. It has been the best thing I have ever used. Once a week I use a repair peeling gel from Obey Your Body. My skin has never been so healthy.

Those eyes go right through me. They have since the first time I laid eyes on the man! His heart IS open...he is such a loving person it is crazy. Thanks babe!
