OK thanks Randy.
(maybe I'll send them an email asking them if they have that kind of test data...but I'm thinking if they did they'd be talking about it.)
I'll have to try the Laura Mercier caviar sticks...
Can you recommend some tube forming mascara/s that you like?
(oh and yes I saw your separate post about tightlining - I do this (I think) every time I wear eye liner. I say "I think" bec…
I actually been doing this too - I use the CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion though - and it's been working OK.
I think the dry patches were being caused by the new Mac shadow I was using as primer - have to return that...
Now I want to find a SUNSCRE…
Milka - here are 3 that have been recommended to ME:
-Physicians Formula Super BB Cream SPF 30-Physician's Formula Super CC Color-Correction SPF 30-Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
I own them all - they are all OK (keep in mind in general I'm not impr…
I'm in my mid 40s too. And I hear you. It really is a pain in the butt to put on sunscreen every day. If they truly felt like moisturizers, without being sticky, staining clothes, or having a smell, that would really help.
Well, I hope knowing I do …
Oh yes I don't mess around.
But i hear what you're saying - very, very often, I get tempted to not put it on...oh, I'm just going to get coffee...oh I'm just going to the store...
But ultimately I just do it. I *know* the effects are cumulative. I d…
Oh I protect my chest, forearms and hands as carefully as I do my face and neck...since those areas can also show age so much also :( ...although I admit I did not start being diligent about this until the last few years.
Oh, I see - I didn't realize they had a physical one that was tinted. I don't think it's the one I had tried, then, I remember the one I tried being white.
The mdsolarsciences is a tad dark for me - although I can get away with it - but lighter woul…
Thanks for thinking of me, sarah!
I tried a sample of the elta md a while back (one of those little packets) and I remember thinking that it felt like a moisturizer. I remember liking it. But I can't for the life of me remember which one I tried or …
This is great, Sarah thank you, I've ruined a few workout tops and camisoles with sunscreen (even untinted sunscreen). Where do you normally buy it? (the place you linked to seems to only sell it by the dozen).
Thanks Randy.
Well...it's expensive...but it really does feel good on, better than any of the straight oils I sometimes use. And I can even wear this under makeup if I wait long enough for it to absorb.
When using this - (I know I've read this somew…
I am liking everything you're coming up with.
Good point on the "saving money" - and yes, I agree that following that logic Beauty Myths should be a tag. However, the reason I also like it as a category is that I think it will draw interes…
NP Randy, glad to be of help, even if just to bounce off ideas.
If this was my choice, I'd do it by products - mostly because my feeling is the categories won't be "endless" even if you include cosmetic procedures (lasers, fillers, etc.) a…
Organization is so subjective...and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I am not loving the above...
It's almost like hair and skin are so broad they don't really do a great deal to make it easier to zoom in on what you may be looking for. And so…
I think I'd like a combination of being able to search for specific products AND / OR specific conditions...
So I do like the broad categories idea like
ShampoosConditionersMoisturizersLip Balms (hint hint)
because I think the products is what I wo…
Oh I see. I do remember you mentioning the Flawless I thought maybe it's just not mattefying enough. But I did not realize your skin can get dry from powders.
The whole oily but can get dry or dry but can get oily is complicated...
Sooooo subjective...I know...
I have a feeling my skin is much, much drier than yours...
But I'm with you on the high coverage...I *will* suffer a bit and put up with less than perfect if I know I'm protecting my skin...
Have you tried a high mattef…
OK - so...I used the tinted solarmdsciences yesterday - I had totally forgotten what it felt like and looked like.
Definitely harder to spread than the SPF 50 one - it doesn't feel as "slippery" - it's more liquidy so the consistency make…
Sarah - tomorrow I will make it a point to wear the SPF 30 one and get back to you on whether I find it hard to spread - I have both the tinted and untinted - I'll try the tinted first since I know that's the one you're wearing most (actually not ev…
I don't find the mdsolarsciences sunscreen hard to spread at all (I'm talking about the SPF 50 one - it's the one I've been using lately)...but...I am generous with the application and there's no doubt in my mind I've covered every inch of skin...
I…
OK - at least the 5% zinc oxide gives me a minimum to look for.
And yes, that's why lately I've been looking to the solarsciences in my drawer more and more - I trust and love the 17% for my face.
Thanks for the reminder that SPF only addresses the …
Thanks sarahf - I know, sunscreens are hard...
Yeah, I think chemical sunscreen ingredients don't bother my skin...I just like mineral ones better. The only chemical ones I'm kind of willing to use are for when I go to the gym...I notice that many m…
sarah (yes, you can call me gina :) I own all 3 mdsolarsciences sunscreens - including the tinted one. I do use it once in a while and it's probably my favorite of the tinted sunscreens (I realized today I should make a list of all the sunscreens I …
