Tips and tricks on getting the d: the girly thread for girls

[SaintCrazy]

I wanna find some really lightweight foundation or whatever, just some stuff to smooth out my complexion I guess. Eye makeup is annoying but I might get back into it for special occasions or something.

Also today I bought a dress, +1 girly point for me. I'm trying to get some into some more stylish stuff, right now sweaters, cardigans and skirts are at the top of my "to buy" list.

Show us pictures when you're done.
A friend of mine tries clothes in the booth and takes pics in there before buying so she can get an opinion and also see herself in a way that is not in the beautiful skinny mirror.

Oh also, in regards to foundation. Try the samples or get the assistant to help you find one that suits you. You'll end up with something expensive but often you're getting what you pay for.

A good thing to know after shaving senstive places is to put a layer of polysporin on it, and then once thats soaked in, put a layer of body lotion.

It keeps it from getting itchy and irritated.

Actually, what about a tinted moisturiser?
Good for light day time coverage and saves you having a separate foundation and day cream.

I'll look into that, thanks! I have a mosturizing lotion that I put on regularly (when I remember) so that sounds easy enough to find and use.

Does anyone here know how to use Dior's Hydra Life stuff?
I got a free starter kit months ago and never touched it since it doesn't come with instructions. It might not even be an official starter set. The makeup lady was chastising me for having such dry skin and gave me a box with these in it as a free sample
There's three little tubes, and another tube that's from...One Essentials? Capture Totale? There's... 'Pro-Youth Sorbet Eye Creme', 'Pro-Youth Sorbet Creme', 'Radiance Awakening Energizing Moisturizer', and the OE/CT is 'Skin Boosting Super Serum', if that helps any
I can't tell if I should wash my face with them, or just rub them on like lotion, or what. And I'd rather not waste them...

Okay, you got an eye cream, a moisturiser and a serum.

From what I understand you pat the eye cream around the eye pretty much following the eye socket. Don't rub it all over the eye (heard that for some people it makes their eyes puffy)
Moisturiser you just rub all over the face.
The serum is trickier. I've heard some women use it as a light moisturiser before bed. But then I found some specific instructions on your particular brand:

I read on a make up guidance forum that you should always apply serum immediately after toner, while your face is still damp from the toner, which I have been doing - then I wait for about 10 minutes before applying my moisturiser, which I finds just glides over the top beautifully.

So there you have it.

ugh what's a good way to get my hair curly without using a diffuser or a curling iron

is just spraying hairspray and mousse in it good enough?

[Riku]

Well, you'll need to hold it into shape while the hairspray sets. and that seems like a pain in the booty. Alternatively, you could sleep with rollers in, and then hairspray it in the morning while the curls are just let out. The downside to this, though, is that the nature of the curls can be somewhat unpredictable.

And what is a diffuser.

Those of you with bangs: how often do you need to trim them?
I feel like mine are growing way too fast.

I can get away with waiting a month, but I personally like having my bangs a really specific length, so I try to trim them every two weeks or so. I recently got bigger glasses though, so now it's even more specific than before so it probably won't be two weeks anymore?
I think it just seems like they grow fast because you're cutting them more. It seems super backwards, but I think I heard something when I was younger about hair not growing if it hasn't been trimmed. Iunno if it's because of split ends, or what.

[Dire]

I trim my fringe probably once a month. I haven't been taking much notice really. I just lop 'em off when they get annoying.

I should get a proper haircut soon but I'm really frugal.

[Chopstix]

ladies how do YOU trim your beards???

[Dire]

Elementary. Hot wax when they get to about 5 millimetres long.
