    Thanks love. :) Is it expensive?


    Well they aren't giving it away but it is more long term than say waxing. Just make sure you go to a good, reputable clinic. I am sure you would but you know...

    i shop sephora quite a bit. some things i can;t live without: paula dorf's "transformer"- turns my favorite bronze eye shadow into a waterproof, move-proof eyeliner (tip: bronze shadow/liner makes blue eyes POP); nars blush in "deep throat" :) ; bare minerals foundation; clinique pore minimizer. i never change these items, but i play around with everything else. i'm a total makeup whore. :p

    Benefit has one that does that too and it comes with a pallet of 12 colors. It's pretty cool 'cause i used it with all my eye shadows.

    Sephora is dangerous, but I've recently discovered Ulta. I love that place.

    Well so far so good. Seems to be making the little capillaries less and so the redness is going away jb. Not completely but I can see a difference, which is great! And I can vouch for Vitamin E too. I used that on a really bad burn years ago, it was full thickness and went right down to the flesh and Mum mixed powdered vitamin E with water and then soaked gauze in the solution and applied it to the burn several times a day. I think the scarring is much better than it would have been had we not and it did seem to heal quicker because of it. I still have a small scar but it's barely visible. I still pierce a Vitamin E cap and squeeze it onto injuries now and occassionally onto my face too. I think it works. :)

    Can't help so much with the stretch marks although I know people who swear by Palmer's Cocoa Butter products. :)

    THANKS!!!

    So far so good with the cocoa butter. I still have a long way to go

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Yeah it's important to spray on some kind of heat protectant. Yeah Im not too sure about spending over 100 dollars for a flat iron.

    Yeah, hehe! :D Coz you're really gonna subject your nether regions to some fruit loop with a laser! :eek: ;)

    I think my podiatrist has a whole bunch of other services including hair removal, so I might check that out next time I'm there. Maybe I could surrender my armpits first? See if I can cope with that! Coz I don't think it sounds like it's gonna be much fun! Plus, would have to be cheaper having your pits done and way less embarrassing than dropping your pants for a stranger! :D

    Well maybe try that thing with the Vitamin E caps on the stretch marks too, but perhaps check with your doctor first. I wouldn't want to be giving you advice that could mess with the precious cargo! :)

  • Ola Ladies..

    Loving this thread... so good to hear some Aussie Shops getting a reference :p

    Cant think of any interesting tips to tell you...

    Always Moisturise... never forget your neck!
    Always take your make up off before bed... although i didnt for a while, but I know how much better my skin is the next day if its clean when I wake up.
    Conditioner for shaving legs is always a nice easy one... and it doesnt have to be expensive conditioner.

    anyone got a rememdy for bubbly butt syndrome?? ;) mine just keeps getting worse the older I get!! :D

    We have three Mac stores. Each a different size, two around the corner from a Sephora. Don't get me started on Origins....it is so very tempting!


    Ohh another shaving cream that's really good is the shower lotions or creams. They keep your legs moisturized and work as a shave gel.

    Yeah, I've subjected my bikini line to waxing one time, probably nearly 15 years ago now, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. If anybody is going there again for hair sculpting it would want to be a semi permanent or permanent deal! Coz there's no way I'm doing that too regularly! :eek:

    I think I'd cope better with my armpits! I managed to shave a great chunk of skin out from under one of them once! :eek: And the last time I used that Nair shit, I chemically burned my underarms so bad I was in agony for weeks! So I think I could cope with waxing the pits! :eek: :)
    NOPE!!!

    I used to work in a MAC store. They were extremely generous with the gratis and the discount was 60%. Like robbing the place.
    Needless to say, I have ALOT of MAC.

    I will list something I do not recommend...L'oreal Telescopic Mascara...ick So pointy..i like thick lashes...I love MAC X and Max Factor's new one with the cool brush.

    Oh, and nothing but a laser will get rid of stretch marks...sorry ladies.
    Oh, and waxing is the best...

    I haven't dared to look at MAC Trix. I just know that I'd develop an addiction pretty quick, so I zoom past it when I'm in Myer. There's really no need for me to buy more make up, I rarely wear eye shadow and blush these days and even more rarely do I put on foundation.
    Most days if I'm going anyhere it's Revlon Liquid Eyeliner on the top lashes, a smudge of Revlon on the bottom lashes, a quick coat of Max Factor's 2000 Calorie on the lashes and a smidge of lip gloss/lipstick on the lips. END OF STORY! :D
    NOPE!!!

    MAC is all I wear, that line of Cosmetics is awesome. It's just the best thing out there.. 60% off would be a dream...

    It was a dream. :)
    Now I get 40% off because i am a makeup artist...still not too shabby. :)
    And I recycle alot so I get lots of free lipsticks.
    Makeup is my crack.

    I love the 2000 Calorie mascara. I think as far as drugstore brands go MF makes the best mascara.
    MAC makes the best glosses too.
    And Bobbi Brown Nude gloss with MAC spice liner....yummy lips

    Yeah, I agree on the MF 2000. I've been using it for YEARS! It's the only mascara I bother with now! I buy it in waterproof for the summer, and it's so good it never comes off! I have to get friends to bring me back Boots eye make up remover everytime they go to London just to get it off! I stockpile that stuff coz it's the only really good, cheap, waterproof eye makeup remover that doesn't upset my eyes!

    I mostly stick to clear gloss from the Body Shop. If I'm going for color it's usually Revlon or Avon with MF Lip Liner and a bit of clinique colored gloss over the top. I can't remember the last time I bought something new in Make up just to try it. Hardest part is trying to get your hands on the stuff that you buy regularly. It always seems to go out of fashion and they stop making it.
    NOPE!!!

    Thanks trix! :) Very kind of you to offer. I've got drawers full of the stuff though, just my skin doesn't cope so well with make up that much any more.
    But yeah, like you I've been a make up addict for years! Must have been all that ballet as a kid! ;):D
