    not sure what sort of tips i can provide, not like i know a whole helluva lot haha but one company whose products i absolutely *adore* is lush: http://www.lush.com/

    they had me with the name alone :D

    they got some of the most delicious handmade soaps, creams, i'm currently an addict for the silky underwear dusting powder....positively divine! if you are fortunate enough to have a shop nearby, do pop in, it's an indulgence for all the senses :)


    thanks! this looks like fun! i'll have to try some :p

    Sorry to interrupt, but if you wanted a thread that would go unread by the homophobic men on these boards, this is the one!
    :)

    ok, carry-on!

    i have a question about flat irons
    anybody use one?
    i've had the same one for years and it's finally falling apart, I bought a new one and it doesn't get nearly hot enough!
    anyone know about these things?

    yes, Helen of Troy is a good brand but Jilbere de Paris ceramic tools are better. ceramic is easier on your hair and that brand (Jilbere de Paris) is one of the best. you can get them at Sally Beauty Supply.

    I use a cheap one by conair. It has adjustable heat which is good. I really don't like using flat irons too much since it fries my hair. I hear Chi makes a good one.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I love LUSH. Their bath bombs are just a little bit of heaven :D We sadly don't have one here but I have a small stockpile of bathbombs. I must try the dusting powder you speak of, chiqs as you have mentioned it before.

    I make sure to exfoliate about twice a week.. makes a big difference.

    I also suggest Biotherm bisenses exfoliant for the body it is a DREAM to prevent ingrown hairs :eek: :o

    Yes! Lush is almost the only skin and hair care I use. There stuff is really, really fresh, and it smells so good. Do you like Honey I Washed the Kids soap? One of my favorites, as is Demon in the Dark and Rockstar. Their moisturizers are awesome and they make really great solid shampoo and conditioner bars which make it very easy to travel. If I was rich enough I'd open a Lush store in my town - I could totally sell it. They also have great skin cleansers like Herbalism and Aquamarina. I encourage everyone to try a few things from there!

    In terms of basic beauty tips, my biggest ones are do not smoke and stay out of the sun, and exercise. It will keep you looking about 10 years younger than your peers. My kids tell me their friends think I'm in my 30's, and I'm in my 40's.

    I have a Conair one - I spray some kind of spray made by Chi on my hair before I straighten it though. My daughter says Chi are the best flat irons, though I'm not planning to buy one any time soon.

    That may be true. But if there is a thread that should be read by smart husbands, this is the one. I am getting a lot of great little gift ideas for my wife. Thanks ladies!

    i'll have to check into those brands of flat irons
    i was so shocked when i tried the new one and it didn't get hot enough!
    the shit part is that the old one was Vidal Sassoon and the new one is also that brand!!!!
    doesn't make sense

    i also tried some new conditioner and hair creme by SunSilk and it smells wonderful and it was cheap! (for straight styling)

    This is sad to say, but I cannot go a day without my Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant:

    I used to have cystic acne, and now I do not. :)


    And if you want extra strong nails, no joke, you need this:

    the chi is really expensive but its well worth it. im on my 2nd right now and i love it. the first one lasted about 4 years. i have long, thick, curly hair and i can get it straight as a board in 20 minutes. i tried several of the cheaper ones and they never worked for me.

    I agree. You really get what you pay for with flat irons.

    drug-store level:
    conair/vidal sassoon's don't work well for people who actually need a flat iron. (i.e. wild wavy like mine or super curly)

    sally beauty supply level:
    helen of troy burned the crap out of my hair
    the Jilbere de Paris irons worked well... for about 6 months each, then they crapped out on me

    consensus:
    the chi is worth the money...
    because you would have to spend the money replacing multiple $10-50 crapshoots.
