I just finished organizing all my makeup and related stuff, and I feel so accomplished.
I had been using one of the Ikea "Moppe" organizers (small unfinished wood chest with a big drawer on bottom, 2 medium drawers in the middle, and 3 small drawers on top). And it didn't hold everything, so I still had to use a basket sitting on top of it and a drawer of my bathroom vanity to hold the rest. But since Ikea brought them back, I bought 2 more Moppe chests and now there is a place for everything, and everything is in it's place.

Does anyone use Wayne Goss brushes? What do you think of them? They are expensive but I would never need to buy new ones again. They are still really expensive. I have seen a couple of videos now with people using them and they look intriguing. They are cruelty free goat hair brushes. Thoughts?

Tarababyz on YouTube loves them, and she has so much expensive make up and even more expensive brushes - I trust her opinion!

Hi I need to exfoliate my face as I have dry patches and peeling areas. (I use Retin A) and it's dry looking now. I need some advice. I have a Clarisonic and I was going to save that as a Christmas present. Is there anything else I can use to exfoliate? Anything I might have at home? Can get at the drug store? Do I need to go to Sephora? Help!

Tarababyz on YouTube loves them, and she has so much expensive make up and even more expensive brushes - I trust her opinion! Ah, Tarababyz is one juicy story, isn't she? The sugar daddies and whatnot. Wayne Goss makes some delightful brushes. I've had the pleasure to try a few last year. Or was it the year before? Anyhoo, really good brushes. Just out of my price range and beyond my personal needs. I have yet to hear someone complain about them. As for your exfoliation question, Delta Dawn, be careful with your skin. If your skin has dry patches right now, it means it's extra sensitive and in need of hydration. I'd advise you use a natural oil that won't clog your pores and some cotton disks instead. Gently clean skin, splash with lukewarm water, spread some oil, leave it for a few minutes, do gentle round motions over skin with cotton disk as a non-aggressive way to exfoliate.

Oh is that how she acquired so much stuff? Life is good for her then! Ok I will do my skin very gently. I might put some olive oil on it after as it is quite sensitive when I take my make up off. Olive oil seems the most gentle and least likely to burn. (My skin can be on fire at times...)

Do I really need under eye setting powder? I have been using regular face powder for years before I line my lower lids. I'm watching beauty vids on youtube- can you tell? And these women are making me spend $$$!

Not sure it is the sole reason for her wealth though Delta Dawn - I think her parents own a big big ranch somewhere. And not sure if she still participates in the sugar daddy thing since it was revealed. All the power to her though!

If your face powder is working for you, thereβs no need to buy an under eye setting powder - unless you want to. Under eye powders tend to be more finely milled so they donβt sink into or highlight lines and wrinkles. I just use a regular setting powder under my eyes these days too. I recommend the ELF one though if you do want an UESP.

And these women are making me spend $$$! Yes and no. Yes you need two of them. Different brands for different days and no you don't need just one of them. You didn't have just one pair of scissors for scrapbooking. I have a travel sized Laura Mercier and Too Faced Born This Way, but I don't know which one I prefer. I am still learning myself!
Sorry I goofed up there. I do think you need setting powder and maybe multiple brands but you don't know if you need under eye or not. I don't have under eye specific. I am now thinking about what brush I would use for this after watching a few videos! I have the perfect brush for this in my mind!

How many brands of foundation do you have? I think I have six that I rotate depending on the day. I don't want to know how many highlighters I have. That just scares me! Eye shadows are my saving grace. I don't have many of them. Well not that many. Blush I have just one that I generally use. (It's a Tarte thing) Really not that much, but I have branched out a bit into brushes. They are kind of cool to me. I have some nice ones and want to see if I want to get more.

Anyone who pops into this thread - what lip balms and hand creams are you using this time of year? My go to for hand lotion is always Suave Advanced Therapy. It doesn't have a strong smell and it never leaves my hands feeling greasy. It soaks in completely and moisturizes very well. An observation: I love mascara and I wear it every day. I love the way it makes my eyes look bigger. That said I can't wear waterproof nor water resistant mascara because nothing I own will take it off. It's very frustrating. I am using water soluble mascara but any time I yawn or my eye runs (it's just my right eye) my mascara smudges a bit. I love the mascaras I am using right now. I just don't want it to smear on my face any longer. I know I am asking a lot! Have you tried the Loreal Double Extend? I don't wear the waterproof and it never smears or runs. It creates little tubes on each eyelash and it washes off very easily with soap and water. It comes off each eyelash like a little black sock. LOL link

I currently rotate between 3 BB creams and 4 foundations. Iβd really like to nail down my collection to just one but if my skin is oily or dry that day, a foundation that could have worked perfectly the day before can look awful. I have to listen to my skin and use a foundation to suit.

1. What do y'all use to remove waterproof mascara? Seems like whatever I use, I have to rub and rub and rub. I've tried the Maybelline one that's oily, and am currently using plain old coconut oil.
2. Have any of you had treatments on your face to get rid of red spidery veins? I guess it's a shot/needle thing? If so, did it work and how long did it last?
I just recently started to use a new foundation-- PIXI H20 skin tint. The coverage isn't great, but I like how it looks natural and doesn't settle in my pores. It doesn't cover the red veins or scars on my face though, so I dab a heavier foundation on those areas.

I guess it's a shot/needle thing? If so, did it work and how long did it last? A) STOP rubbing on your eyes! My very southern muhther (think Scarlette O'Hara accent here) would be hahrified to know that you're doing that. She taught me early not to pull on the skin around my eyes so I wouldn't wrinkle later in life. And so far, so good. I'm 48 and relatively wrinkle free there. Thanks mom! Sorry, I'm not actually offering any help to your question. I avoid waterproof mascara for the reason stated above. and B) I just had my first chemical peel done a week ago and she was talking about the little red veins around my nose and said that there is some way to get rid of them if I'm interested. It's some machine and apparently painful but if you're interested find an esthetician to ask- he/she will know.

Sharlag - I had IPL a few years ago. It worked very well on red veins and they havenβt come back. It also worked on brown/age spots but some of those returned (I was a sunscreen slacker after IPL, which contributed to that).

Do you remember how long it took afterward for your face to be fit for public? The derm talked like it would maybe be some redness and a bit of swelling, but not severe.

Definitely not fit for public that same day. I think I was ok redness wise by the second day. But, then a couple days after that my brown spots started drying up and flaking off. Looked like coffee grounds scattered all over my face. Those took a couple more days to fall off.

So I won some money Should I get a Clarisonic and if so which one? I will link the one I got. I don't know that it's any better than any other one. www.sephora.com/product/mia-2-seabreeze-x-boscia-P424400?skuId=1992015 and I bought this one because I liked the other products in it. If I had to choose I would have chosen a pink one if one had been available at the time. I have the foundation attachment, too. I hope I got a sensitive skin attachment. I am not sure. It's for Christmas.

What is your night-time skin care routine? Should I be doing more? Usually I take off my makeup with It Bye Bye Makeup then wash my face with a washcloth. Then I will use micellar water to make sure all the makeup and dirt is gone. Then put on my anti-aging serum from NeoStrata, then Retin A. I did a face mask last night and honestly didn't like it very much. The material was paper and it wasn't soft enough and I didn't like the honey serum it had. This was a higher end Korean skin mask. (I can get good ones at my local Asian supermarket and some are fantastic). I have eye cream I use usually. I don't like it that much. It's by SkinMedica and while this line is recommended by some, others don't seem to like it. I also use Latisse (bimatoprost) four nights a week. Is that enough?

Hi well I exfoliated this morning and bought some Glaxal Base Moisturizing Lotion to put on my skin. They have a new formula for it and it isn't greasy any longer. My skin is silky smooth. I used my Avène exfoliator gel and a new Korean wash cloth. *shhh* I wanted the dead skin off once and for all.
I am not that happy with the colour of my skin. I wear the lightest foundation known to mankind. I have bought several different foundations and the lightest in all colours because that's the colour of my skin, but it still looks kind of dark. I should look at it outside today because the sun is shining and I will get a good picture of the colour I think.

If anything I watch in YouTube is correct, I donβt do nearly enough. Iβm using several items recommended by Angie of the HotandFlashy channel. Iβve been dermarolling the last month and have worked up to doing it almost nightly. I use the vitamin c ferulic? Stufff. Also just started using Olay regenerist night formula. I want to get the daytime one now. I really like it. But Iβm not sure how to work it in because I always used sunscreen and feel like piling on a heavy cream before the foundation might be too much crap in my face. Also Bobbi brown eye cream. I can see a difference around my eyes in just a month. Not sure Iβm seeing anything yet on the dermarolling. Maybe a bit of a softening of a scarred area.
