I Have Got to Stay Out of Sephora (and other glamourpuss issues)

The 250 point perk of bite beauty Kir Royale mini lipstick and lipgloss kit is available now on Sephora.

I've been waiting all month for it to be released. Needless to say, I just made my online order to sephora.

Score! :cheer2:

Anybody have any suggestions for not overly scented after shave for a guy with fairly sensitive skin? Or really any non-smelly men's shave products. The smell of my bf's after shave (at best makes me sneeze, at worst gives me a headache all day) drives me crazy but I've had a really hard time finding anything for men that isn't extremely scented that's available in Canada :/
 
Trader Joe's has a very mild or even non-smelling shaving cream in an orange tube. Do you have Trader Joe's there?
 
Tom's of Maine also has an unscented shave cream, I think.

So I just flipped through most of this: http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/gallery/80s-tv-stars-then-and-now/ss-AAfg59C?OCID=HPDHP#image=60

It's an object lesson in how plastic surgery usually makes you look worse, not better. Only a few '80s stars are holding up well (including my old favorite, Susan Dey, Lisa Whelchel and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss.) John Stamos has made a deal with the devil, he's as hot as ever.

But most of the women :scream:

DH swears by Nivea for Men. They have a full line for regular and sensitive skins. Most large drugstores carry it.
 
My husband, who is very fussy about scented products (he even insists on unscented laundry soap and fabric softener) likes the Clinique for Men product line.

No. Judiciously used, tasteful, subtle plastic surgery does make you look better. I could provide lots of examples. Obviously someone like Suzanne Somers is not the best poster girl for it because likely she has surgical addiction/unethical surgeon.
 
That's a nasty picture of Julia Louis-Dreyfus - at the Emmys she looked stunning.
 
John Stamos :smokin: My 12-year-old Full House-watching self had goooood taste. RDJr also has the same deal with the devil.

I've used Kiss My Face unscented shave cream before and it's pretty good, definitely zero scent. It's more of a lotion than cream/foam consistency. Dr. Bronner's also has an unscented shave product but I've never seen it in stores, only via Googling.
 
I have actually bought the baby foot skin peeling thingy, but haven't brought myself to use it yet.
My feet are pretty bad, but I'm afraid it's going to have too much skin removed and it will make my feet hurt (once a podiatrist removed too much skin from the ball of my foot, and it hurt to walk for over a week not to mention the bruise).

A classmate from high school (newly divorced) started posting a lot of selfies on Facebook. She's looking very blond, toned ... And not QUITE the same. Guess we're at that age now??

Lol, that's what he's using right now that's giving me so much trouble.

I'll see if I can track down a Clinique sample or some Tom's of Maine. Thanks :)

I am, at least it's crossed my mind. I was seriously considering and eyelid lift or whatever it's called because I had severe allergies for a couple of weeks which caused my eyelid to swell. The eyelid looked terrible, all saggy and wrinkly looking for weeks after allergies were gone. It's been over a month now and it's finally back to normal. Ok, maybe I'm not ready for any surgery but I wouldn't mind the mommy make over if someone paid for it and can guarantee me... oh maybe a couple of days for post op recovery max lol. 3 c-sections were enough surgeries for me!

I guess I'll stick to skincare, makeup, and coloring my hair. :D
 
Blepharectomy--the only way to rejuvenate the eyelids at this point. I would probably do it when the time comes. Usually quick recovery and great results. I hear arnica cream helps the bruising and swelling go down faster.

You seem to be many years away from needing this procedure so yes, stick to that. :)

I used to think I would get the eyelid lift when the time came. Then, DC denizen that I am, I looked closely at Hillary and Nancy Pelosi. They have that startled wideyed look like someone just goosed them from behind. And I thought, nah, I'll go with the wrinkles.
 
Um, that look is from overusing Botox and has nothing to do with bleph--that just excises extra saggy flesh from the lids. But it doesn't lift the eyebrow. You are conflating.

Again, using both Botox and this procedure well can yield good results. Abuse Botox--you get Nancy and Hillary. And much worse than that.

People get liver failure from using Tylenol incorrectly. Doesn't mean Tylenol has no value.

Mr. Habs has used both Clinique and Dove for men. Right now he's using my Aveeno face wash and lotion and likes it the best. :lol:
 
I had the Benefit girls at Macy's do my makeup before the Scorpions concert a couple weeks ago. I really liked the liquid eyeliner, but it was all a bit of a disaster putting it on myself.

So I got one of those lighted magnification mirrors. :yikes: :scream:

But now I can put that stuff on like a pro. :encore:
 
I'm interested in how you like the clarisonic too kosjenka. I've been eyeing it for a while, but it is too pricey to buy and have to toss in a drawer a week later because it is useless etc.
 
Clarisonic really improves absorption of products you put on afterwards.
