Skincare/Beauty/Haircare Random Thoughts

[Black Cher]

I've decided to hold off on the Tom Ford Bronzer, I'm just going to keep using my smashbox one which works pretty well I just prefer cream over powder contours. Depending on how much money I get for Christmas, I'll probably buy it or if Neiman Marcus or some other store has it on promotion. Side note: I just bought Mac fix plus for the first time ever, I bought it online so it hasn't arrived yet. I know it's super popular, do any of you use it?

I use Smashbox primer and setting spray, haven’t heard anything about Mac.

I don’t know the first thing about contouring but is Tom Ford a good brand? For Black women? Paying that much for a contour kit seems excessive to be unfamiliar with it.

I like their alpha arbutin serum. I didn't like the salicylic acid serum, it broke me out.

Have you tried their Lactic Acid?

 

[Krazy]

My skin feel smooth as shyt already.
Used the Alpha Arbutin + Ascorbic Acid and Azaelic Acid suspension last night.

I’m gonna risk it and try the Peel on Sunday. This could be risky as fukk lol, I’m out New Year’s Eve

Have you tried their Lactic Acid?

No I haven't, thats next on the list. Im using beautypie's super micropeeling drops at the moment and it's working wonderfully for my skin so I don't want to introduce a new product right now and mess it up lol.

I bought too faced born this way concealer from Ulta. I haven't used it yet but from the swatch it's the perfect color and is full coverage without being too heavy. I'm excited

I'm officially phasing out all of my current skincare products and replacing it with only three things. Witch Hazel, African Black Soap(the real one), and fragrance free-moisturizer.

I don't want my skin to develop an environment for resistant microbes so i'm going natural from here on in.

I just ordered the foundation, even I don't need it. I may stash it for spring.
I want to enjoy being #teamnofoundation for as long as I can

Just ordered these also, for continued hair health.

Have you ever used these pills before? Curious as to what you think of them and how effective you find them. There's a part of me that is highly skeptical of this product- does it genuinely improve the health of your hair or is it just a placebo and the precieved results are just that, 'percieved'. I wonder if anyone has ever done any experiments like that to test it out.

Like what does it contain? And once the pill is digested, how are you sure the nutrients in the pill are only going to affect your hair and not just be used all over the body? Is there a targeted ingredient that will affect your hair follicles? If not, would you be better off with just multivitamins?

I don't mean to offend to offend btw! I'm just
skeptical of some of the things advertised by some of these influencers. Plus I'm bored and have a way too much time on my hands this morning!

No, you are fine and you are asking some legit questions.

This is a first time try on this hair vitamin and I will let u know the results.

My hair refuses to grow. It's staying at the same length and I'm not sure if it's breakage because my hair doesn't shed but I have notice that sometimes, after washes, a lot of strands will come out. But that could be dead hair getting out the way. I use anti breakage masks when I wash my hair but idk, i still haven't found the right routine for me and I'm started to get frustrated. It's already been two years since the big chop.
