The first month or so was miserable – my hair was a greasy mess all the time. I used to wash my hair daily, until injuries from a car accident forced me to change to a once-per-week routine (I needed help getting in/out of the shower, and it was quite an involved process, so I could only shower 1x/week while I was recovering). But it does change the demeanor and attractiveness in a way that feels like real beauty to me. That, and learning to love more, not react so much to faults of others, be more unselfish. ( if you live near Boston, her name is Nikki at the Parlor Salon!) (plus she is super down to earth and genuine!) I pay a lot every 4-6 months instead of a little every 2-3 months, and I’ve never been happier with my hair. Perfection! It’s not so much that she’s good at straight hair but that she has an overall creative vision and artistic sensibility, an artistic excellence. She knew a stylist in a city close to me. (People sniff if they find out and can’t believe it!)Īnd a good stylist! After the umpteenth bad cut in a decade, I googled “why can’t I get a good haircut” and found a great advice blog by a girl in France. I’ve gotten so many compliments and saved so much money! I use a pea-sized amount ever week or two especially at the nape of my neck, but never lather. Them I read an article in the nytimes where this girl’s 5th ave stylist told her to rinse her hair a few times a week under hot water, and scrub at the roots, but not to remove the natural oils with shampoo. For years I used volumizing products on my stick-straight hair. I wanted to ask, what do you use for the very baby fine upper lip fuzz? I think mine is giving me breakouts around the mouth, so it’s time to do something about it. I will also probably start using coconut oil as an eye makeup remover – I have heard it removes even waterproof makeup quite well and moisturizes the eye area very well.
BEST CONCEALER FOR DARK CIRCLES XOVAIN SKIN
I noticed that I broke out a lot more when I wore makeup and full foundation every day – my skin seems to appreciate a nice gel-cream moisturizer like Garnier’s, and a BB or CC cream. Not wearing makeup every day has also been a great decision, because it gives my skin a break. I actually have never plucked them, but instead use one of those eyebrow razors… that way, if I get a little “shape happy” I haven’t destroyed the follicles to the point where they won’t grow back. I learned that blending makes makeup look so much more natural, and I learned that it’s ok to experiment with fun colors past my college years and embrace my fun side.īeing Italian, my best beauty decision regarding my thick brows was giving them a little shape. I have learned things about skincare and makeup that I didn’t know before, from you and other readers. One of those decisions was reading your beauty blog, honestly. Plus, I hate getting shocked every time I walk across a carpet and touch something! I sleep with a humidifier, and I can say it made a difference in my skin and hair. 🙂Ĭheers to Tuesday! Hope the humidifier is the key to the wonderful sleep 😀
I’m still working on stepping up my game by practicing eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner, but you and youtube are helping me with that. I now have a decent collection of makeup and brushes/tools. Fast forward to a year after, and I found the wonderful Corrector by Bobbi Brown.Īnd then there’s the unknown year that I found your blog. I didn’t wear any make up until then, and the commute to school was more obvious under my eyes. Hmm, I’d have to say that my first visit into Sephora as a transfer student to Sacramento State (2005) was the turning point in my non-existent make up life.
I can’t sleep the first week of adjustment, so last night was a -fall asleep on the couch, to the TV- kind of night. The Man is working overnights for the next few weeks. later to confirm what it actually is), so I might look into a humidifier today. I think my eczema is getting a little weird (Dr. Interesting! It has been dry in the desert, as well.
