    Is it Deeep? Is there more than one product called Deeep?
    No. They have it listed, but it says sold out. Customer service confirmed it's off the market, so i don't know why they keep it up on their website when they don't have any of it.

    So I've been using Maybelline's Great Lash mascara for years, along with Clinique's glossy kind on occasion. Both rock.

    Just saw a commercial for some new Maybelline mascara. Are they seriously promoting this nasty-ass look?

    Well I can imagine that's what mascara would look like on fake ass lashes. The pouty lips are ugly and it makes her nose look ginormous. Great eye brows tho.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Great brand of mascara for sure.... Yes, I've seen this look advertised too. I have seen it called the spikey look. It is not great IMO, but I think it's reminiscent of a style that was popular in the 60s. Retro.

    My lovely daughter brought me some of this on her recent visit from California. It is truly a miracle substance. Absolutely great for everything, the driest of skin, sunburn, cuts, make-up remover, wrinkle cream, you name it. And it's all natural which I love. I think I'm addicted.

    I have heard about this stuff and been curious, now I can't remember where I saw it!!!

    I ran out of my devacurl conditioner the other night and ran a bit of coconut oil through my ends and slightly rinsed it out. It wasn't too bad!!! It's nice to know I have something to use in a pinch and I might experiment more with it.
    Push me and I will resist . . .

    A whole thread about hair- haha! Cool!

    The best tip for men's hair (and probably for women as well) I've ever heard comes from one of John Densmore's books (I believe it was in Riders on the Storm). Densmore tells of how one day he asked Jim Morrison how he got his hair to look so great and Morrison told him that after he washed his hair he didn't brush it with a hair brush but rather he just ran his fingers through his hair and kind of shaped it that way. And it works!

    Jim had himself quite the lovely head of hair! I do the same thing when I work a bit of product through.

    Danced, I just applied a coconut oil hair mask. Leave it on overnight, clarifying shampoo and conditioner in the morning, and - hopefully - voila!

    I just tried to send you a PM, and it went on your wall by mistake. Sorry. I can ask Kat or Sea to remove it, if you want.
    Here's a beauty tip for one's own wall :wink:....you can delete anything on your wall no matter who put it up by hovering the mouse in the upper right hand corner and clicking the x.

    If you apply shampoo then lather, rinse and repeat your hair gets cleaned.

    I learned some things from my hair-dresser yesterday. I went there with a wet head and she wanted to know what the *#)@ I put in my hair.

    "I didn't put nothing in my @*#$-ing hair!", I replied.

    "Your hair is stiff as a *@)#-ing board" was her retort. I then told her that I used coconut water shampoo. She yanked out one of my hairs. "#&$@!" I said. Then she yanked out one of her own. I felt no consolation.

    She did a demonstration where she pulled her hair between her fingers, and because it was elastic, it went with the pull. Mine snapped right away.

    To make a long story short, here is a re-cap of what I learned.

    For people who use color on their hair or have dry, brittle hair, stay away from "clarifying" shampoos. What you want to look for is "moisture". No matter what the hair type, stay away from suave, white rain, and pantene. Pantene used to be decent but they changed it she said. Shampoo for people who color their hair will always have the moisture feature and can also be good for people with hair that breaks easily or is dry.

    Thanks rollings ^^^


    Anyone know of an excellent foot/heel cream??? I have one I've been using but hate but using because I paid for it. It's finally almost gone. This time I'd rather purchase something that works. Imagine that.

    I just use Freeman's Barefoot Repair for cracked heels. It's cheap and works well IMO. The instructions say to use twice a day until a cracked heel issue is healed, but I just use it on a semi-regular basis all over my feet as a moisturizer and it keeps my feet soft in combination with the Dr. Scholl's foot sander or whatever it is, lol. Works great. Replacement rolls are pricey, but not nearly as much as pedicures.
    I'm sure there is probably better foot cream out there, but this stuff works fine applied daily or a few times a week, and it's only around $6 or something for a tube that lasts at least a couple of months.
    Generally, anything made for severe foot dryness/cracking will work great for general moisturizing as well. But what do you hate about the stuff you've been using? Doesn't work? Or something else?

    Ok, Mr. RK's friend told me about this...a guy, and he swears by it.

    Baby Foot... http://babyfoot.com/
    WARNING THERE ARE GROSS PICS ON THE SITE!
    I bought it, washed my feet, soaked them in a warm foot bath for 20 minutes, put the booties on my feet, put on some slipper socks over the booties, sat on the couch for an hour and a half. The booties have a gel in them so you don't want to walk around too much...it's squishy.
    After my time was up, I took off the socks, washed my feet and went about my day. DO NOT put lotion on, you are waiting for them to peel. Every day I soaked my feet in a hot water bath for half an hour. After a few days huge sheets of skin came off, all of my callouses and cracks disappeared. It took about a week for all the skin to peel off. My feet were so soft...they were amazing. You do want to wear socks to let your feet sweat, it helps them peel. I have tried everything, Shea butter, cocoa butter, Vaseline, grasps, files, everything. This was the best thing ever. I put lotion on every day, and my feet are still soft. Take off polish if you have it on your toes, the peel will melt the polish. My skin is very sensitive and dru and I didn't have any adverse reactions to the peel.

    If you Google pictures, be prepared to be grossed out. I'm going to do it again before summer. Best $20 foot treatment ever.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What is it about hair-dryers that drives you nuts?
    They are an unfortunate necessity for me! Huge pain in the butt, but if I didn't use one every single day I'd look like a Yetti.
