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.

Wow that is an old post LOL. I use Ag products now.

ME! ME! AND I also got my birthday gift card too....they are giving "They're Real" Mascara and something else. I saved my GC's from Christmas....I am going to have FUN!

UN FORTUNATELY it is only 15% so the only things I will buy are things that my son's gf cannot get at ULTA b/c she gets 25% off since she works there.

im excited about the Sephora gift this year! I bought the mini theyre real and like it as a base coat, I still need my mac opulash for a little added volume. I have been buying nail polish like crazy this week! love the new sping shades mint, purple, peachy orange. I also got some Essie fiji (light pink) and Essie turquoise and caicos.

I have a wrinkle by my mouth .....it like sprang up over night even though I use a Tanda AND micro current zapper. Anyway does anyone know of any fillers that I can use under my make up? I know I had something before in a tube but do not remember what it was or who made 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.

Garnier oil free is the only BB cream I ever purchased. What are the other ones like? Do they go on more like a moisturizer?

It Cosmetics has a new CC cream out but it's a QVC exclusive, so I can't use my pro discount on it. I really want to try it though.

I bought the L'Oreal BB Cream. I totally misunderstood. I thought it had foundation in it too. I was shocked when I saw that it was white!

The Garnier and L'Oreal ones are very similar in consistancy. More creamy than liquid (like the Garnier Oil free). They were both moisturizing enough that I could get away w/o a moisturizer under them when I was hunting a moisturizer w/o dimethicone (or any "cone") in them. The L'Oreal Youth Code BB is much less oily than the Garnier. I was very surprised at the difference!

Did it match your skin tone after applying? Almay makes a tinted moisturizer like that. It always matched me pretty good--and then it broke me out.

L'Oreal's Youth Code BB is not white.

 

[jessrose18]

loreal youth code is the first bb I have ever bought. I really like it, I think it can be a summer foundation or a run to the store foundation, but not everyday. I like the formula and the color did match great (medium)

Peter Thomas Roth FX has been featured on QVC this week....anyone use it. I bought it a few years ago and hated but now it is supposed to be a new formulation. Supposedly Dr. Oz uses it before he goes on stage. If you use it, let me know how you like it. I am such a push over for this stuff.

 

[jessrose18]

just signed up for ipsy and julep maven box programs this week, will report back!

My rule of thumb is to avoid things Dr. Oz endorses. He's like a snake oil salesman.

Hi all! Another makeup junkie here! I'm a fan of pretty much anything made by UD or Too Faced. To the PP asking about BB cream, I love Naked BB cream by UD. Its perfect for when I don't want a heavy foundation, and the tint is just right. I absolutely can't stand the one made by Garnier- my face would've been less greasy if I'd stuck it in a deep fryer.

For a setting spray, I use UD DeSlick or All Nighter. Love them both!!

Ipsy is wonderful. I used to do it & Birchbox, but had too many disappointing boxes with Birchbox. I'm not a big polish girl, so I never got into Julep. I prefer to be acryliced & shellaced, LOL.

 

[okeydokey]

I was looking at the Clinique CC cream. Any reviews?

bummer!

bummer!

But that doesn't mean you won't love it! I don't think I will ever find my perfect skincare routine. There's just so many products out there to try.


I am super bummed. I ordered a Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua compact last week. It was due to be delivered today. I got an email notification while I was at work that it was delivered so I was super excited to come home and see it. No package to be found! I contacted Neiman's and they are going to replace it but it takes up to two weeks to receive the replacement. I hate being inconvenienced because others are dishonest.

I love my Clinique BB cream! It's creamy (sits in a pile on your finger instead of running off like a liquid would) and has more coverage than I thought it would. The only other BB cream I've tried is by a Korean company called Etude House and that one was chalky.

The only downside to the Clinque BB cream is that it's heavy for a BB cream. It feels more like a foundation than a moisturizer. If I accidentally fall asleep without washing my face I will break out a bit. I was hoping that all those magical antioxidants would improve my skin overnight

This happened to me so many times a year and a half ago. I ended up having to go for a hearing because we knew who took the packages but he never showed. I dropped the charges because he was wanted in another city and I did not wnat to have to go to court and face him b/c he was a psycho!

Anyway, what my FedEx guy did one day (all the package guys know me lol) was go on my back porch and take a rug, hang it over the railing on my porch so it looked like it was just airing out and hid the package under it. That is what I do now and all the guys know it. The thing is you are lucky because some places gave me a hassle when my packages were missing.
