I'll have to invest! The biggest pimple is almost all the way down my neck, where I know didn't wax. So painful. I did have a small breakout in that area before I waxed, so thats why I thought it might be that.

Its so tough trying to be decent looking these days. Waxing, exfoliating, washing, moisturize, primer, makeup, etc etc.

I hear you. I had my eyebrows threaded yesterday and, per usual, I am broken out like crazy. Nothing helps. I have done everything and every time I thread I am stuck hiding away for a couple of days. It's *that* bad. My threader says she's never heard of it.

Anyone else have this issue? And yes, I exfoliate that area. It's not ingrowns. It's inflammation of the follicle. I'm at my wits end.

Which Tarte mascara do you use? I need something new

The one in the purple snake skin case Lights Cameras Lashes but I use the primer that they make in the white tube first. It is great, does not smudge and comes off fairly easily. I was using "Yes theyre real" Benifit but I pretty much need to use a chisel to take it off.

I am a make up fiend so you can imagine when my face broke out as a middle aged person who had beautiful skin it was horrible. If you have trouble go to a dermatologist. I resisited but it did help. I am on two prescriptions which work okay but stress and hormones are the key. Let me say I spent a fortune on tons of proactive type over the counter stuff and nothing worked.

I think its time for new undereye concealor! For the past month my husband keeps telling me how tired I look! LOL I am using the Garnier roller ball and also a Neutrogena one. I guess I need a better one! I have a sample of Erase Paste from Sephora and that seems to be better than what I am using but I was wondering has anyone tried that new Clinque one? I usually don't like Clinque but I heard good things about it. Any others that work well?

I haven't tried it yet... but Wayne (gossmakeupartist) was just raving about a new Nars one. Below is a link to his YT video about it.....

To those who tried the Garnier BB cream and thought it made your face shiny...they now make an oil free formula so I bought it. UGH!!!!!! I hated it so much I returned it. It comes in a tube like the other but it is so thin and liquidy--it is like a liquid foundation but in a TUBE. Terrible packaging and I tried it several times (applying with fingers, sponge and foundation brush) all with terrible results.

I have MUCH better luck with the L'Oreal BB cream. it really goes on nice and smooth and I do not get as oily--sometimes not oily at all.

I use these because I break out when I use anything with dimethicone (or any type of "cone")--tiny, pin sized whiteheads--they'll be on my skin within hours of using it and always by the end of the day. They do not last--they'll be gone by the next day (thankfully). This is found in most primers, moisturizers, lotions and lots of foundations and powders. I think it is some kind of bonding agent. It makes the skin velvety which is what is so nice about a primer but my skin can't take it.

Just thought I'd report back on the new OIL FREE BB cream by Garnier.

Looking for reviews from those of you who have used setting sprays. I don't wear a lot of makeup - but I hate how it all melts off in the summer heat/humidity!

Would this be the right thread for reviews on styling products that you use to blow out your hair and not have it frizz out?

I have used Urban Decay, but right now I am using Skindinavia - and I really like it. (Skindinavaia manufacturers the UD ones).

I have used Make Up Forever and is is okay but really when it is hot and humid there is not a lot that will hold the make up on and if it does I am guessing it might not be all that great for your pores.

Have you tried Morrocan Oil....I love it. check it out on their site and then get it on cosmeticmagic.com they have the best prices around and be sure to go to retailmenot to find out if there are any coupon codes. I have used htis site and they ship quickly with free shipping over 40.00

Hi! I like Ag Hair Cosmetics Re:Coil Curl Activator. It works best for me when I don't towel dry my hair, but squeeze the water out of my hair, apply the creme throughout my hair, then scrunch out the excess water with my towel.
