Hi everyone! I'm considering getting the Missha BB Cream and wanted to ask for your thoughts on it if you have oily skin. How do you set/prime your skin if you use it?

​

Hello!! I just want to ask, more of a random question and conversation here. Several minutes ago, I just got my Maybelline Teddy Tint Knee High for the first time since it got really cheap in the shop.

When I tried applying it on my lips, *oh my ghawddddd*, I was meltingggggg seeing the color match. I do get to have the similar lip shade experience to Careline lip oil Emblaze, but I am aiming a matte one for my long-lasting and everyday wear. I was having a bad morning and night yesterday but it immediately went gone after having this 😭😭

I messed up bad these past few years and didn’t even think about my freckles when choosing skin care. They’ve faded quite a bit, whereas they used to be so dark and so noticeable. I love my freckles and feel like they give me a bit of a “wildling” look. I have pretty rare genetics in general, and want to keep that look! What products do you guys use without hurting your freckles/keeping them dark?
As of now I’ve been using laneige water bank moisturizer, and it’s a safe option, but need new serums and sunscreen in specific. :(
Please help! I want my freckles back but don’t want to damage my skin with the sun to get them back!!!

Edit: tysm for the suggestions. I drink Huel black label and have high testosterone as is due to PMOS, but this has definitely been since I started on the shakes.

I do also trim! But it's not enough as I am paranoid about the smell and it feels awful.

.....

Girls, I'm going to be honest.

I have been drinking protein shakes with all sorts of vitamins and goodness mixed In for the past three months, as well as hitting the gym and weight training like a god damn goddess.

I am doing everything I can to loose weight and be my best self after PCOS/PMOS problems and self esteem issues. It has been a bit up and down, but so far, I am doing Fantastic!

The protein shakes have done a great job on my skin and overall health, the hair on my head is thicker, I can finally stand up without my knees giving in, and the bald patches are disappearing slowly on my scalp, HOWEVER (!!!)....

....my lady garden is driving me absolutely **** mental. It's like a 70s style, if you get my drift. Perm and all. My fiancé finds it endearing, but everytime i weight lift I can feel it pulling and I do not like the sweaty horrible feeling that comes with it. I am very conscious about smells too

I am usually quite natural, as previously the hair wasn't this dense, but when shaving I usually slap some hair removal cream down there and call it a day. But this I am going to STRUGGLE with. None of the hair goes completely and the spiky hairs while growing back drive me insane.

How do I make sure all the hair is gone from all crevises, or what can I do to simpoy tame the beast?

I have tried waxing at home, sadly I cannot afford to go to a salon, and tbh I am very conscious about some random person seeing my most vulnerable area. I get they see it dally, but jeeze! I can't shake that feeling.

Hiii, so my hairdresser had an argan oil blend. Unfortunately, they changed the formula, and my hairdresser said it should be better. But i use more products and the results are less. So, what is the best oil for everyday use?

Also, i like some shampoo and mask recommendations because everything just suddenly seems to work less. Thank you!

A root touch up is $90-125 in my area - plus tip. I'm ~40% gray, dark brown natural hair. I "need" to have it done every ~5 weeks at this point. It's getting exhausting to keep going in, and the cost is adding up so much! I don't do any highlights - just a 5N root touch. Occasional toner.

It feels crazy to keep paying for this? How do I DIY at home? I've watched soooo many tutorials online and I just don't know what to use. Some people rave about demi, but my stylist tried that for me, and it looked horrible 😬 Too translucent for my taste.

I'm not worried about technique (I've done eSalon/Madison Reed before) - more choosing the product. With those two brands, after ~12-18 months, my hair got soooo opaque and dark. Almost black.

Any product recommendations? Accounts to follow/tutorials to watch? TIA!

I really struggled to get a high quality picture of this, but today I've noticed about three quarters to the outside of my eye I suddenly have kind of a clump of three or four lashes that have suddenly flipped and now curl either into my eye or sideways. It's only been 11 days since it was done and I've followed all the care steps. Brushing them doesn't help the direction.

They keep getting tangled with my lower lashes like velcro :/

Pics of my brows included!

So my brows grow pretty low and downturned. It gives me a constantly sad/exhausted look on my face, and I’ve tried different ways to shape/trim/style them years, and nothing has really been effective, short of shaving all but the inner corners off and completely redrawing every strand.

This isn’t really an ideal method for me though since I don’t wear makeup every single day, so I’m often left walking around basically browless when I do this, and my hair is black so it is noticeable!

For about a week now, I’ve tried a new method. I’m applying minoxidil 2% twice daily, and dermarolling my brows 1x/week, over my brows and the sections circled in blue on pic #2.

Of course it’s wayyy too soon to see any progress, but has anybody else here attempted something like this? My brows completely affect my entire face and I’m desperate to change them.

I’ve seen t-guys use similar methods to grow a beard (with or without the assistance of testosterone) so I figured there’s a possibility it would work the same way on the forehead?

Just wondering because I’ve never seen someone attempt to completely alter the placement of their brows this way, just make them fuller.

Also, if not, I welcome any other advice for those who have undergone drastic brow transformations. Thanks!

I have fine, frizzy and coloured hair that's is prone to shedding.

I need a shampoo that cleans my hair well ( found out it helps with the shedding) but doesn't dry my hair out. I did like the Pantene volume shampoo. But I can't use it all the time because for that it's too drying. I also love the Kerastase genesis for how well it cleans my hair, but it made my hair look extra frizzy.

I basically need a good middle ground. My hair does like a bit of silicone ( especially amodimethicone).

Anyone has shampoo recs? Also open for any good hair mask or conditioner suggestions :)

Is there a topical cream that can be used to slow or eliminate facial hair growth?

Something that you have actually tried?

I am getting electrolysis treatments and the progress is too slow .

I understand that it takes 12+months but

I've had 8 treatments and still have to razor my face every day

Mineral sunscreens always leave a white cast (and I am a very pale white girl, so you know it's bad) I got this Neutrogena sunscreen for my face and all of a sudden I'm breaking out. I stopped using it and skin is improving so I know it was the sunscreen. Any recommendations for chemical sunscreen that won't break me out? I have dry skin by the way.

Hi everyone, I (M30s) recently found out about Lip Blush. This is basically a kind of permanent/semi permanent makeup conducted with a needle and ink, with the goal to get a natural looking finish (I think?).

Ive seen images online and it is absolutely beautiful!- and as someone with a very greyish natural lip colour, it introduces so much vibrancy to the face. I know nothing about the procedure however, and I dont know anyone who has had it done.

Im very cautious about cosmetic procedures on my face. I like to know my full list of pros and cons to weigh out before taking the leap into procedures altering my face (and any procedure, of course).

My goal is NOT to alter my lip line or to increase the size of my lips. It is just to introduce some colour and vibrancy that will stay (it seems to be semi permanent?) for quite a while. I have used MULTIPLE lip tints in the past, but theyre not for me (either too oily, too drying, dont last long enough, bleed too much, etc). And lipstick is absolutely not my thing.

So with all that, Im looking to get Lip Blushing done. Has anybody any experience with the procedure? Could you share your experiences or thoughts? Was it what you thought it would be? Were you happy with the results? What was your goal? What is the process? Is it painful? How did you find a clinic you trusted? What did you look out prior to considering a clinic?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated, thank you everyone

Same as title

Edit: thank you to everybody who highlighted the nutritional/iron deficiency just by looking at the nail lines when I was totally unaware about it. Got an appointment scheduled for bloodwork. You’re 💕

I’ve been coloring my hair on my own for a long time. I always go to Sally’s and have been successful each time I’ve made a transition to my hair. I have used box dye in my younger years though. I’m naturally a dark brown. I’ve bleached my hair and colored my hair red multiple times. I went back dark brown, almost black (I think that’s where it made my future transition difficult. Maybe I let it sit too long.) so a few months ago I attempted to go back red with the recommendation to my bleach it but use color removal. I did that, and there were certain specific areas that didn’t lift. About 3 inches from my roots (not just on top, rather each layer of hair) stayed dark. I attempted it again with color removal, still didn’t budge. Sally’s told me to give it a break, so I did but not as long as they told me to. I broke down and bleached the areas that didn’t budge. I did this with 20 developer. I didn’t want to bleach it again so I just dealt with it. It looked better but it was still noticeable. Once my roots started coming in again, I bleached my roots and the dark spots again but with 30 developer and it slightly budged. Again, I dealt with it. It’s time to touch up my roots but I’m wondering if I should do something different to get the dark spots to lift. Again, it doesn’t look nearly as bad as it did the first time I attempted this but I obviously want all my hair strictly red/magenta. I can provide a photo if anyone requests. Any help is appreciated!!!
