The Beauty Room

[schnucams]

I was thinkin cause there are so many beautiful ladies on this site that maybe we could share some beauty secrets and get help with some of our beauty questions etc.

Of course guys can join in too should u have any tips, questions etc. (apparently you guys are spending a hell of a lot of cash on beauty products and fake tan etc these days)

Try to keep it on topic tho please

A few of my top tips (sorry if u already know these )

• Yes to Carrots hair products are the shit!
  
• Conditioner is just as good as shaving foam for shaving legs!
  
• If you dont already then I highly recommend eye lash tinting, saves sooooooooooo much mascara drama
  
• Lavera fake tan is made of all natural products and leaves a lovely glow, no orange!!
  
• This one I got from Ruth, if like me you get spots/dry/horrible skin when flying then carry a cleanser and moisturiser and wash and moisturise your face when u get on the flight, half way thru and when u get off. I did this going to USA last month and it worked
  
• Also excellent for skin is taking UDOs fish oils & using 100% pure rosehip oil at night (on its own, no other moisturiser needed)

I have two tips:

Beyond The Zone (Turn up the heat) Flat iron protection - Makes straightening hair so much easier.

Clean Slate Tarte face primer - Put it on before your make up and your foundation just glides on.

[velvetrazz]

thanks! no i haven't even heard of those ones, must take a trip to the chemist tomorrow do you know any really good exfoliators? exfoliating is my favourite thing to do, ever.

a cute cheap face scrub is scrub your nose in it by soap and glory, oh not for sensitive skins though.

chanel universal bronzer is my must have, it's amazing! and a mac 187 brush

I've been putting Vaseline on my eyelashes for a long time, and it makes them grow. And it can also be used as a mascara and to smooth eyebrows.

LOVE this threa. Karma

1)Always set your make up with loose translucent powder. Gives you a flawless matte finish no matter how oily your moisturiser/foundation & stays perfect. The Hills girls should seriously take note.... they are SO shiny!

2) Try to not actually wear foundation. Concealer, loose powder and a bit of bronzer is my new thing.

3) Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion is one of the best things I have ever bought! Your eyeshadow stays perfect and crease-free no matter where you are or how long you go for! Super handy for long days, tipsy nights, festivals etc.

4) Try to use products that have as many natural ingredients as possible.

urban decay primer potion is brilliant, i have a little obsession with their eyeshadows, i think i've accumulated about 50 individual ones and 3 pallettes

mac body foundation is good for covering bruises on your legs/arms too.

chanel pro lumiere foundation is the best, semi matte so it's not too dry or too oily.

[Jennyfer]

That Mac 187 brush is awesome!

[velvetrazz]

i know! it does absolutely everything, foundation, bronzer, translucent powder, blush... pricey but worth it! yves saint laurent touche eclat is another must have

[Jennyfer]

Yeah would be lost without Touche Eclat! I swear by Benefit's Erase Paste too.

Oh and I must share an amazing website I found....

www.feelunique.com

FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE!

They sell my fave perfume (Gucci-Envy Me) for €25 less than the shops! They sell Touche for €18, Juicy Tubes for €10 etc....... soooooo good!!

[velvetrazz]

i'll have to check that out my favourite perfum ever is alien by thierry mugler, 90e a bottle so don't buy it as often as i's like. hopefully it's on that site

[dusty333]

Elizabeth ardens eight hour cream is the best lip gloss ever! it stays on your lips for ages, but is also good for sun burn and irritated skin.

And to make your favourite perfume last longer you should buy the matching body cream and apply it as well as the perfume. Youll smell great AALLLLL day

Karma for this thread schnucams!! Ive learnt so much already


Does anyone know of a good foundation for pale skin?? I'm about the whitest person out (i NEVER tan!) and even the palest foundations turn me orange

[velvetrazz]

i think chanel prom lumiere in clair- i think that's what the shade is called and as far as i know it's the palest one they do, if your using mac, anything lower than nw25 is gorgeous, i like to be pale too

Im really pale and i use virgin vie in "alabaster" it is a little pricer, but it smells nice and blends well

[seaurchin]

^Thanks girlies i'll be hitting the shops in the morning!! (as if i needed an excuse!)

I dont mind paying extra for these things if it gets good results - i just feel like theres not a lot of choice for anyone who doesnt want to be plastered in fake tan

[ncox10021]

Eyelash tinting is the bomb. I hate mascara.
