Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[subterranean]

sometimes Clinique products irritate me - they cost a lot and then they're not so great. Like the 3 step skin care set you can buy for like over $30 bucks? Lye soap works as well as that soap, the astringent BURNS my face and the lotion makes me break out. But my roommate in college swore by it. I do like the Clinique Bonuses though - you know where you buy a certain dollar amount of stuff and then you get a free make up bag and a lipstick usually, a brush set, a trial size cleanser or something. And there's usually some eyeshadow in shades that you will never ever wear. I have a collection of bonus eyeshadows upstairs

In fact I have a lot of makeup that I don't really use, but it's there with hte rest of my make-up and I just root past it every morning while I'm getting ready...I can't bring myself to throw it away until I've had it at least 2 years or so.

I totally have the same thing. First, I also love the bonuses. Second, I got more stuffs than I need for every day use. Some of them are from bonuses too, that's why they are like piling up. I'd love to give them away to my friends, but most of them have different skin type and skin shade. And you're also right, Clinique is costly and some products are not worth the money. Say, do you mix products or you just stick with one brand? I use Clinique moisturizer and powder, but I use Murad for sunscreen.

Papaya, perhaps you want to try Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream. I used it everyday for almost a year now and it really reduces fine lines around your eyes. Also, it really helps for puffy eyes. I have sensitive eyes myself and I have no issue using this product.

me too. I was on a clinique kick for a little while, but now I'm using this vitamin C serum from a recommendation from another site.

I love me some samples, last weekend I got a make over and ended up getting a some decent samples now the trick is to try to use them.

I may try that out, I just bought some neutrogena eye cream so I'll give that a try first.

Totally not good. Yes, I have, it turned out it was slightly ripped on the inside. Sometimes, it's just a minute scab that's peeled away. But othertimes it can actually be a tear in the fistula. Go to your piercer and get it checked out.

Just to add to the Clinique discussion... I've never used it. I SWEAR by Vichy, which is even MORE expensive ($20 cleanser, $20 toner, and roughly $10 for the moisturiser), but it makes my face look absolutely perfect, and I have pretty terrible skin.

Ack, really? That's what I was afraid of...It's my belly button piercing and it just started bleeding the other day so I took the ring out and cleaned everything but when I put the ring back in it didn't seem to go through properly and now it's kinda sore. Not bleeding at all, but I can't pull on it or move it around or anything like I could before. Does it matter that the piercing is over a year old?

p.s. ironically, the Piercer was Stigmata downtown haha

I'm not one for body lotions or face creams. I very very very rarely use them. Every now and then i use my mams neutrogena (think its neutrogena) face scrub but thats seriously once in a blue moon.

Oi! Stop hogging the tea! *waves empty cup*

Ewww Stigmata!! They hate me there... use Mark at Nighthawk! He's fantastic, and friendly, and doesn't make you feel like an insignificant piece of dirt who doesn't belong in the shop... </endrant>

Just don't touch it for a while. Don't take it out anymore, and sea-salt soak it twice a day, and you SHOULD be okay.

I used to break out from just everything. No matter how expensive.
So I took a course in cosmetology, learned about the ingredients and what they actually do to the skin and I began to make my own.
It was miraculous. And always fresh, chemical free and so nourishing and effective for me at least.
I was not impressed with what I found out about almost all products on the market, one company, well several actually used spermaceti, from whales! Whales, that staggered me. No thankyou. To kill a what for my face is a no no.

Haha may I ask why? I actually really liked them. The guy was really nice and the place was CLEAN. I don't get pierced very often (aka, only a hole in each ear and my belly button), so I doubt I'll be having anything done for a while (though I've considered my nose...), but if I do, I'll check out your guy!

Yeah, it's looking a lot better now. The skin is moving over it more easily and there's no soreness, so I'll just keep cleaning it. Thanks for the advice!!

wait Becca and classic live in the same place?
.... niamh have some tea...
ok, question suits ..Im going to need to buy a suit jacket top thing only in the past whenever Ive tried them on Ive had trouble because of my shape...how do you find out what tyope to go for and how do you size them?

[Niamh]

Nightie, i'd suggest a Pin Stripe for you. It will add shape to your figure. Also a single breast, one button.

And thanks for the tea!

The live in the same area in canada but i reckon they both like to shop in the same city.

Yeah, we just realized the other day that we live in the same small city.
