Let's Talk About Beauty Secrets!!!

Original post by cocoa

I loooooooooove makeup and the whole shebang, so i figured that it would be good to talk about this at a time in our lives where we really want to look our best! So, I'll start us off...
I use almond oil on my body after my shower to keep my skin from drying out during the winter months and to have a silky look during the summer.
Apply foundation with a concealer brush-i covers better.
Smile when applying blush-you'll hit the apples of your cheaks and it looks fresher.
Brush your lips every couple of days and your lipstick will adhere nicer. Also, apply sparingly some lipbalm before lipstick. none at all and your lips will dry out, too much and your lipstick will slide off.
okay, i can't remember any more but i am anxious to learn from all you ladies!!!

Slather yourself in vaseline and lay in a warm bath for about half an hour. Just towel dry when you get out and shower the next morning. It's like you have new skin !!!!

I want to try this!

I was thinking about it...

BUT...the NEW CREST WHITESTRIPS PREMIUM are fantastic!!!

I used the 30 day ones, and they were great, but these now work in 7 days.

They ABSOLUTELY WORK!!! the best $30 bucks you will EVER spend!

A friend of mine got married recently, and her pics showed teeth that were LESS than white. SOOOO worth it!

Wow. Glad you said that. I just bought these yesterday. Started with them today. We'll see in a few weeks if they work on me.
Has anyone had the brightsmile done thru your dentist?

I'm very lax in this department. I wear makeup very infrequently and I don't have anything special I do with my face, I just wash it in the shower with whatever soap is in there. I actually think there's something to be said for not messing with your face much, I've always had very clear skin, a litte dry at times, but still clear. I do, however, feel that I'm starting to get some wrinkles on my forehead, does anyone have any anti-wrinkle creams they can suggest?

For dry scalp try Aveda Scalp Remedy. I used it few times and didnt have to use it again.

Nailtiques makes my nails really strong and grow fast- I bring it to all my manicures.


Help-I get cold sores - any suggestions on how to prevent them or get rid of them quickly-my fear is having one anywhere close to my wedding.

Use Abreva as soon as you start to see one come on. It's like $17 for an itty-bitty tube but it's well worth it. I get fever blisters a couple of times a year, so for a week or so before the wedding I'm going to use Abreva. It helps them go away WAY faster than just waiting it out.

I just started using cold cream again at night (when I remember) and then I slather on some stuff- I think its Mary Kay- it looks and feels like pink vasoline. Its a night ellolient - I have no idea if I spelled that right.

In the AM I wash with those Olay cloths. I use a moisturizer every morning.

Oh, I also put that night ellolient stuff on my hands at night. It feels pretty gross but it makes your skin feel wonderful!

Um- I thats all I can think of right now.


Yes! That Mary Kay pink stuff (I think it's their night cream/emollient (sp?) is incredible, and you know what else it's great for? SUNBURN! If I get all red from being in the sun and put this stuff on it, I SWEAR I wake up the next day and the redness is gone!! It's really thick, but great!! Good on the heels of your feet too.

This might sound funny but it really works.. after getting waxed.. put desitin on the area and you will not even get red or there will never be 'red dots'.. my skin is so sensitive but this works wonders. They put it on after I get waxed where I go.. its great..
Also for chapped lips or to just moisturize them use Sally Hansen's Vit Stick for lips.. so great!
