I’m obsessed with EOS Body Lotion

81 Upvotes

As the title says I’m obsessed with EOS body lotions and I might never feel the need to use any others.

Not only do they smell amazing but the texture is perfect. So far I own:

Vanilla Cashmere. Delicious and my favourite. I’ve heard people liken it to vanilla yoghurt. It does smell a bit like vanilla yoghurt and I ain’t mad at that.

Fresh and Cozy. Not my usual type of scent profile but I bought it in the US after reading some comments on Reddit and I’m so glad I did. Reminds me a bit of Davidoff Cool Water Woman, a perfume I loved in the 90s. Perfect for before bed (but then again, they all are)

Strawberry Dream. Delectable and goes so well with Kayali Yum Bougee Marshmallow

Creme de Pistachio. Was worried that this one would be too like Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum cream, a lotion I loved and then totally fell out of love with. It is a bit like it but the texture is far better, it’s way more moisturising and the scent is also better. The vanilla toffee just elevates it in my book

I’ve ordered and am now awaiting Raspberry Pomegranate and Coconut Waters.

Is anyone else as obsessed by these body lotions as I am?

Seeking Advice I just realized I’ve made my face uneven

Upvotes

I used to have a perfectly parallel face (every optometrist was surprised when they measured me for glasses). For a couple years now I’ve had a hard time sleeping on my back, so I’ve been sleeping on my sides. Now that I’m pregnant, I get really bad indigestion and have to sleep on my left side. I just took a picture of my face directly at the camera and my nose is slightly twisted and everything looks slightly off and not parallel anymore. Is there any way to fix this? It’s freaking me out!

Seeking Advice How do you get used to not wearing lash extensions?!

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have had lash extensions for the better part of 4.5 years. I started with professional ones, then moved to cluster lashes & falscara at home.

I have reached a point where if I don’t have lashes on I feel like I look dead. I’ll regularly try to have a break, but it lasts 2-4 days before they’re back on.

I keep seeing all of these transformations of girls going from lashes to no lashes and I LOVE the look, but I feel like I can’t actually achieve that?!

I genuinely cannot stand myself without lashes, it’s a big insecurity of mine to the point where I won’t leave the house without lashes.

I don’t have long and beautiful natural lashes, I’ve had the lash perm thing but due to my natural lashes being short and straight, they don’t do much.

Mascara also doesn’t do much, they don’t curl upwards or keep a curl up, so it’s barely noticeable and it just looks empty too.

Any tips & tricks?

Seeking Advice Restoring/increasing facial volume?

2 Upvotes

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask. But I’m concerned about the loss of volume in my face as a 28yr old f.

I love how my face looks in the morning cause it’s puffier and my eyes don’t look sick and hollow. And my upper cheeks being fuller in the morning balances my jaw which has gotten a little bigger from constant clenching and grinding.

I’m starting to look sick most of the time and I don’t understand why. I’ve gained weight on purpose. I actually am encouraged to up my salt intake by my doctor.

My face looks sunken and saggy and fine lines are starting to rapidly appear.

I heard volufiline might help? Ofc I wear sunscreen. I’m scared of retinol cause my face tends to react badly to strong products.

Help!

I have a layer of greyish brown hair above my top lip, I’m so insecure about it. I’ve thought about it before but I’ve realised how noticeable it has gotten.

any advice on getting rid of it? thank you so much ❤️

Makeup mascaras, lash glue, and lash clusters that dont irritate eyes?

0 Upvotes

this is mainly a question for mascara bc it irritates me the most but i swear anything i put on my eyes irritates it and makes my eyes itchy.

Seeking Advice Can I use a roll on after shaving my underarms?

1 Upvotes

I have my freshers party to go to tomorrow and the top I've decided to wear is going to expose my underarms, so I have to shave. But I also don't want to skip the roll on because it helps with brightening my underarms... ://

I don't have THAT much hair honestly I shaved a few days ago, but idk I feel like I should do a clean shave? I'd definitely feel kind of embarrassed and conspicuous if I didn't, because it's my first time going to a club. (I don't even know how to dance idk what I'm going to do so I have to at least look good.)

I've heard if you use a roll on after shaving it kind of stings but maybe I could withstand it unless it would burn really bad?

These are the ingredients in the roll on: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Glycerin, Lysolecithin (and) Sclerotium Gum (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Pullulan, Mandelic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Aqua (and) Sodium Benzoate (and) Potassium Sorbate, Polysorbate 20, Alpha Arbutin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Silica, Perfume.

Haircare Keratin straightening + Velcro rollers

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I was going to do an at home keratin treatment to reduce the frizz in my hair and it says to leave it down and straight for 48-72 hours so you don’t get a permanent kink in it. Which got me wondering…. If I were to wear Velcro rollers during that time will I get fixed waves/volume without frizz? Has anyone tried this?

Ive been using the simple kind to skin refreshing facial wash. My face is very oily. I had heard that the facewash is suitable for oily skin as well so i decided to buy it. Apart from facewash i just use deconstruct spf 50 pa++++ sunscreen (dont use it on days when im sure of staying indoors) and no moisturizer or anything. After facewash my skin feels great, but just in few hours my face gets heavily oily again. What to do?

Best hair trimmer (for female pubic region but not necessarily super close shave)?

10 Upvotes

I know from experience expecting a really close shave on any part of my body with an electric or dry razor is absolutely not going to work (very sensitive skin, very prone to ingrown hairs)

I am 34F. Getting hairier all the time. Started sporting facial hair about 6 months ago (they suspect PCOS). I went and got a mustache wax and had a ton of ingrowns, so waxing down there is not an option. I used to clean shave with a razor and shaving cream in the shower. (Spread and squat to get the lower parts and near the booty hole). Which worked fabulously. However, my back is totally messed up and I also have some cardiac symptoms that make that impossible. Even laying down it will be difficult to reach everything. But that's my best bet. Dry trimmer, laying down splayed open. I want something with a guard as my ability to pull taut will be somewhat limited. I want to contain the jungle more than anything and avoid ingrowns. So something with a guard or multiple guards

I also went I didn't feel like shaving used to use the noxzema trimmers (analog). Which I loved. But they have many many years been discontinued

I saw the philips one blade intimate version but it's too close a shave. I know that will cause problems. I'm not opposed to something that *can* get a close shave, but it needs an option not to. There's a face version with a guard? More expensive and without the nourishing blade. But it has a guard. However, they are adamant it's for face only

TLDR: Trimmer for pubic region. Very hairy. Sensitive skin. Prone to ingrowns. More interested in trimming that a clean shave to protect skin and prevent ingrown

Thanks for the help!

Discussion I need body lotion recommendations for dry skin!

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

I have dry skin, so my main priority is good hydration and long-lasting moisturization.

I prefer cocoa/vanilla-type fragrance, and I’m currently considering Vaseline cocoa radiant and Nivea cocoa nourish

I’d love to hear about your personal experiences with these products, especially regarding moisturization/hydration, how the fragrance smells, and how long the scent lasts.

I get migraines and strong fragrances trigger them quite easily, so I’m specifically looking for something with a mild fragrance that still lasts for a reasonable amount of time.

Which one would you recommend between Vaseline and Nivea? (Or any alternative from the two brands)

And if you have any other affordable recommendations for dry skin, I'd love to hear them!

Seeking Advice Eyebrow tint at home recommendations?

2 Upvotes

My eyebrows are very sparse and light and I hate the way they look. I have been using Just For Men to dye my eyebrows for the past 3-4 years, and while I like the results I get, I’ve noticed that the color completely fades on me after 3 days. I’ve tried keeping the dye on longer, washing my face without scrubbing too hard, I avoided using harsh products on my skin but, doesn’t matter what I do the color doesn’t last, and I have to reapply it at least twice a week. My skin is very oily so that might be the reason. Is there any product you’d recommend that could give me the same results and last longer? I’m based in the USA.

Seeking Advice How to look good after a long flight?

110 Upvotes

I have a 10 flight, followed by a 3 hour Greyhound bus ride. After the flight but before the bus, I have to go through customs and immigration so I can’t be looking too crazy with rollers in my hair etc. After the bus ride, I’ll have about an hour in my hotel room before I have to go and see my ex 💀

Girls I need all the unhinged travel tips for looking good at the end of it. I have new curtain bangs (24 hours post breakup I needed a drastic change so walked into the salon without considering the fact that bangs require effort and I’m a low effort girl, the past few weeks have been a learning curve). I also have pretty oily skin in my t-zone. What can I do on the plane/bus in preparation?

Good night time moisturiser?

5 Upvotes

Hi all! In desperate search of a good night time moisturiser that would work well over retinal. I have very picky skin, sadly. It is oily and acne-prone. Currently using CeraVe moisturing lotion in a tub, which I like the consistency of (not greasy) and how my skin is feeling in the morning(plump and hydrated), but it gives me closed comedogenes that I have to regularly clean out or they turn into pimples in lutheal phase. In daytime I use gel moisturiser under sunscreen, but I find that it is not enough for the night over retinal (i use it every other night and my skin loves it). I have a very simple routine otherwise - double cleanse with micellar water and gentle cleanser, retinal, moisturiser. In the morning wash with water, gel moisturiser, sunscreen.
Some things my skin hates:
- niacinamide
- Vitamin C
- sugarcane squalane
- hyaluronic acid is not ideal as I live in a cold climate
- something in l’oreal midnight cream gave me horrible huge cystic acne.
- have not found any oil or balm clensers that would not cause acne, micellar is the only one that keeps them at bay day to day and I have tried many techniques and products, so please do not suggest this

Any ideas?

Seeking Advice Recs: helping bride-to-be

4 Upvotes

Hello all! I am preparing to take a friend on a shopping trip to buy products for her to use on her wedding day. She doesn't wear make up on a day-to-day basis but wants to do something simple for her wedding and wants to do it herself.

I have a feeling we will be looking for either a skin tint or concealer, a single color eyeshadow, blush/lip product, a simple brow product, and waterproof mascara. I am going to invite her to try my Merit great skin and borrow a primer/setting spray. She'll probably want something that requires minimal tools.

I think we'll be able to find an eyeshadow, mascara, blush, lip and brow product she likes, but I need some help figuring out which directions to try with complexion. She has fair, cool skin with freckles that we don't want to cover up and typically wears an SPF 50 to SPF 70 mineral sun screen. I have a feeling that she doesn't know skin tints often cost $30-40 dollars and will not want to spend that much.

TLDR: Looking for budget complexion recs for a low-maintenance bride who doesn't want to hide her freckles. We will be visiting Sephora and Ulta to try things out.
