Beauty Q's for the gals (and gals at heart!)

[09 Feb 2009|01:42pm]

clubmix1996

Lately after touching up a set a pictures that I took in October I realized my skin is aging hard and fast (probably due to alcohol abuse) and I decided to make some changes from my usual wash with water only and moisturize, make-up and never washing it off at night routine.

Let it be known that my beauty routine is now as follows:

1. Exfoliate with a facial scrub
2. Tone with witch hazel
3. Rub in StriVectin-SD thoroughly (This is new! I just bought this nearly $200 wrinkle cream last week!) I let this settle in
4. Apply vitamin E oil under eyes, lips, forehead, and smile lines first then rub in all over. Let sink in.
5. Apply moisturizer in the form of jergens natural glow firming formula and let sink in.
6. I apply a very heavy off brand facial moisturizer that is supposedly brightening with the help of pearl extract under my eyes liberally. Like you can still see it and I let is sink in all the way.

This stuff has horse fat in it. I have no idea where it came from because I found it at my grandma’s house but it tends to work. After I am out of it I plan on buying an actual under eye cream for really horrible circles. Suggestions on what to buy?

7. Apply Revlon Age Defying foundation primer and let dry.
8. Apply Olay Definity Color Recapture. This is a spf 15 anti aging moisturizer with a very sheer and illuminating coverage. I add a bit more under my eyes and let sink in and “dry”.
9. Cover under eye circles with this stuff:
http://www.physiciansformula.com/en-us/productdetail/face/concealers/02725.html
This is supposed to lessen the circles under your eyes over time and I swore I noticed a slight difference at first but not really at this point.
10. If I am doing photos or an event I use Bare Minerals foundation if not I simply put my blush and eye stuff on and dust with a light powder. I have been using the new bare minerals feather light mineral veil but I am not exactly the most happy with it.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is it BAD to exfoliate daily? I like to because I think it keeps dead cells from building up and weathering fine lines into my face and keeps my face fresh and clean so it absorbs my moisturizers, creams and serums better.

2. I have been using the feather light mineral veil but it’s so SHINY. I bought it because I read that illuminating products diffuse light and make your face look less aged but this is so shiny that to me it looks like it highlights any sinking or lines in my face. I think it would be better used as a highlighter in specific areas after powdering all over.

What is a good loose powder that isn’t really heavy and too chalky or matte but also that’s not TOO shiny or illuminating. Something that has a natural skin like finish? I would prefer drugstore brands so I can get it sooner than later but more expensive recommendations are welcome as well.

3. I recently bought StriVectin which was originally developed as a stretch mark cream. Do you think this would work on scars? Do you have any other suggestions on what to use on scars that really works? Price is not an issue with this as I would try anything to get rid of these cutting marks I have.

4. Is Strive tin a long term wrinkle cure or is It something that only works while it’s on so I would need to buy it pretty much forever? I will say this shit is AMAZING and I have only used it maybe 5 times and I have noticed a HUGE difference already.

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions in advance!

Hello. My hobby is collecting packaging, often of which is cosmetic-realted.

Anyone know how old this Lucretia Vanderbilt Dusting Powder tin is?

I don't just like old stuff, I like stuff of all decades, like these Diandra containers and this Alexandra deMarkoff tube...

Hi everyone!

My name's Kiri and I've just joined this community after seeing it on monique's list :)
I'm starting to collect Mac again and have decided to ask before I move countries (I'm in Canada currently, Moving back to New Zealand) if anyone has any posters they wanted to swap/sell me?
My collection currently consists of 15 postcards, deck of cards, silver mac bag, and two mac belle azure necklaces... but it will hopefully grow :)

Happy Holidays!

MAC Star Vegas postcards up for grabs

[26 Apr 2005|03:16pm]

ilookflawless

Hi there, I'm in the UK and have a couple of MAC Star Vegas postcards to give away. I think that this is a UK Selfridges exclusive (although i may be wrong). For the the month of April, Selfridges is running a Vegas theme and MAC have produced a Vegas/Elvis look for Selfridges MAC counters. There are no new products (the collection is made up of a mixture of regular counter and prostore items) but i thought that the post card collectors here might like a the picture card if it's a London exclusive. If anyone's interested then please e-mail me at ilookflawless(at)hotmail.com

another exciting package...

Right on the heels of my MAC CDs, I got another neat lot of collectables...

BERJAYA

This was quite a nice lot, coming from an ex-employee who had been with MAC from the early 1990s. One certification necklace, two MAC PRO dogtag necklaces (each one is black with silver on one side and silver with black on the other), a 1996 Viva Glam pendant with a clear marble in the middle, a plain pendant with the MAC logo and a hanging teardrop, and a really amazing charm necklace based around the four elements (MAC logo - Water, Viva Glam - Fire, Cruelty Free Beauty - Air, Back 2 MAC - Earth).

Not pictured are a black and white MAC silk scarf and a black short-sleeve MAC PRO t-shirt (the old one that just says "MAC PRO," not the newer one with the blue paint logo).

I'm so excited, I just had to share!

Well, I got a really exciting box of MAC collectables in the mail today... twenty authentic event compact discs! These are the discs that the counters and stores play during collection events, with songs chosen to match a theme for the collection.

I got discs for:
Adorn, Aquadisiac, Black Tied, Cuisine, Eden Rocks, Femme Noir, Haute Voltage, High Tea, Holidazzle, Lady Danger, Madame B., Merry MACmas, Peacenik, Perverted Pearl, Pool Party, Pop Mode, Salsabelle, Sleek Chic, Snowgirl, and Tease Me... Tempt Me...

They vary greatly in content and package quality. Some of them have separate tracks, others have all of the songs running together in one 60-minute track. And some of the packages are really nice (cardstock glossy inserts and screenprinted discs) while others were obviously produced inexpensively with an office printer and label-maker. But they're all really cool. I love the music, especially -- everything from Tchaikovsky to Iggy Pop to Rita Hayworth on these discs!

Anyway, I'm just thrilled. I've only gotten a few collectables this rare (produced in very limited quantity for locations holding events, never released to the public or even distributed to employees). I have one training video (for Frozen White) and a couple of store decorations... but these are just really amazing. I had to share, because I knew you guys would understand my excitement (while my boyfriend saw the box and said, "Um, you got MAC CDs?"). I'd love to find more items like these.
