Sorry not sorry, etc 
Hair, makeup, skincare etc.
Not done any of these for awhile. Yup cum is apparently skincare. The fluid in the lungs with Covid based pneumonia is the same as in hyaluronic acid. People like girls without makeup. We know, and we don't care 
What do you like, not like, what's caught your eye?
Recommendations for Christmas (holiday, coinciding birthdays) gifts from the value sets?

I desperately need something that stops hair from tangling and dreading. I’m a lazy bugger who doesn’t like brushing my hair so if anyone knows of anything? Oh and I hate tangle teasers  |

Ahhh I love these threads!
I've really gotten into Tropic skincare and love the Inkey List retinol and hyaluronic.
So many items coming out this time of year but there is a local brand Oh My Glam that have amazing deals on palettes and lip gloss ranges |

I don't know the answer but suspect it'll lie in treatment as well as brushing etc. I'd ask questions about conditioning (including protein versus moisture balance) and look at how you're tying it up and what you're using with it when you sleep.
Reddit: subreddits curlyhair and curlyhairuk are goldmines of information |

You can see what's in there, is it worth the price?
My first stop is always Temptalia, although she's reviewing less standard stuff this year to make way for other brands. She's had a compilation of holiday season reviews for ages, although they're still going. |

You'll have to brush your hair at some point buuuut that aside, Mane n tail have a detangling spray that's brilliant. Or you can use a child's one like Philip Kingsley's Detangling Spray but it won't make knots fall out sadly.  Denman has a fantastic Tangle Tamer that's not as harsh plastic bristles as a tangle teezer but in conjunction with the above it should help. Putting a hair masque in once a week will go some way to helping as well. x |

I miss wearing makeup so much since I'm working from home, but I can't be bothered to get up early to do my makeup when I won't see anyone all day.
On a different note. I'm looking for a good face moisturizer. I have a dry and flaky T-zone(especially my nose) but get a lot of spots around my mouth and chin.
Thanks  |

looks ok. lots of mini lipsticks and eyeshadows which ill never say no to but at the same time a couple of shades ill never wear so hence the dithering. I see plouise have a lovely set going at the minute so maybe ill just get that and some new pigments. |

I got my hair cut two weeks ago. Happened to get a black hairdresser. And I know damn well I'm on the very low end of textured hair but... omg she *understood my hair* FFS. I could have cried. She listened to me rather than just pulling the straighteners out or talking about heat treatment in response to me mentioning the curly girl method.
Wavy girl problems are not real problems but... I felt validated. |

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
I find it to be really kind to irritated skin, also works great as a primer |

Salicylic acid under moisturiser for spots, gentle chemical exfoliation for spots and dry skin plus a moisturiser).
My skin is only just beginning to err dry, and not like that, so I might not be the best to ask... I like the Superdrug Vitamin E range (fragranced, hasn't caused me issues YMMV) and The Ordinary's moisturiser as my richer options. |

Silk pillow slips and loose tie your hair on top of your head like a pineapple. It works.

I have some silk scrunchies which seem to be good. My hair isn't quite long enough to successfully pineapple yet  |

Come to the dark side 
You'll need eye primer or, if there's a lot of fallout (eyeshadow falling down your face) a glitter glue. The Nyx glue works well for me. |

General thoughts:
Skincare probably a better investment this year given masks. Salicylic acid for maskne. Last year The Ordinary did a sale for the whole of November in lieu of Black Friday.
Mac have a "treats" page of stuff they haven't been able to sell, good prices updated regularly. Their holiday collection looks good
The Urban Decay collection looks like a hot mess, avoid.
Benefit mascara pack and their brow product stuff are really good value if you like their products
The Pat McGrath giant palette is excellent value for Pat McGrath, and includes the shades in the Star Wars run.
The Clinique cheek pop palettes are good, although in the warm palette apparently Cola Pop runs more pigmented than usual so pale girls beware
Natasha Denona sets well spoken of
Colourpop looks interesting but their quality has been less consistent lately |

Oh and a special mention. If it's still available on the Mac treats page: probably my favourite from last year was the Mac face palette. I got the light version obviously, and it's a staple in my collection now. The medium/deep version has been discounted on the Mac website. It got similar ratings. |

It's not something I know anything about, I'm sorry I'm not there yet and my mum doesn't give a toss 
I'm trying not to give a toss. Maybe that's the way forward . "
Stuff my mum likes:
Paula's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant
The Ordinary Buffet
There's a Boots No 7 range of skincare but I forget, she thinks it's fantastic
The Boots No 7 foundation drops
The lipsticks I bought her and she scoffed at me saying she doesn't do makeup She says they can transform her day. (She is - pre Covid - a giant pain in the arse at makeup counters though. Worth it) |

I'd love to do winged eyeliner, but my eyes are do tiny! Also, I look horrendous with black eyeliner - just look like pee holes in the snow! They still look small with turquoise or green liner!
I don't use eyeshadow any more (too old/droopy lids!) So any advice please??? X |

Look for YouTube tutorials for eyeshadow or liner for hooded lids. I think I've heard that cream eyeshadow helps. Wayne Goss a good resource.
I often avoid black eyeliner because I've got pale eyes, and prefer brown, navy, grey, or purple. Don't line the whole eye, it'll make them look smaller. |

I tend to use lighter colours on my bottom half, for the most part.
White or off white liner in the lower waterline can help too |

The Ordinary or Superdrug Vitamin E are ones I use and are better when I'm drier. Layering hyaluronic acid underneath helps too |

"ive just seen beauty bay are now stocking a mini fridge for skincare. first pressie sorted"
Since when does skincare need to be stored in a fridge? as long as the products are used before the use by date it should be fine.

Chemical exfoliant, I've used The Ordinary's mandelic acid. It's the gentlest option and you may need to step up, but I've got very sensitive skin and didn't want to burn myself.
Salicylic acid, if you can tolerate fragrance Revolution do one (I used to use The Ordinary but they changed it), half a dropper all over your face under moisturiser.
Tinted moisturiser, either mix moisturiser with your foundation, or something like the Boots No 7 foundation drops (other brands do it, that's the one I've tried as it's my foundation of choice anyway). Most tinted moisturiser comes in very limited shade ranges |

"I discovered Olaplex today! My hair feels fantastic! I’m soooo impressed "
Olaplex is UNREAL! They've got a great little Christmas set out containing #3-6. It's worth over £86 but currently £48 for the four full size items (cheaper than I get it at trade). A little really goes a long way. By far the best product for damaged hair x |

I have an afro that naturally dreads but I've never brushed or combed it! I either just break the brush/comb or it gets stuck but most importantly my lush curls just become a bouffant puff ball! The secret for mine is in the conditioning then finger comb and rinse then wax wrap in a towel and ta da natural ringlet curls! |

I had a major maskne from wearing masks all day at work. I added pixi glow tonic to my regime and it all went. Also added the ordinary buffet to my evening skin care.
Make up wise I’ve always gone for high end brands but I’ve replaced most with revolution- really impressed with most of the products although maybelline mascara seems to win for me. |

Interesting, I wonder if they still have it..."
They were a bargain at £3.99 each. I only use the oil at night as I find it too oily to wear under foundation. They've both got some amazing reviews. Definitely worth a try |

Hmm I might give it a try then. |

I've got very oily skin which is a blessing and a curse on equal !measure. If I use oil on my face I have to limit it to night time or if I'm doing a home facial I'll use it afterwards.
I'll see if they've got it on line I was in Aldi today and didn't see it |

"Look for YouTube tutorials for eyeshadow or liner for hooded lids. I think I've heard that cream eyeshadow helps. Wayne Goss a good resource.
I often avoid black eyeliner because I've got pale eyes, and prefer brown, navy, grey, or purple. Don't line the whole eye, it'll make them look smaller."
Oh I’m going to look him up. One of the downsides of getting older is the hooded eyes x |

I'm the same. I've had two courses of Roaccutane (never again!) yet my skin is ridiculously oily still. This rose oil doesn't feel heavy or greasy but certainly takes it's time to soak in.
Keep checking in Aldi, as it's out of stock online. My daughter has the Pixi Glow one and keeps robbing mine now that hers is getting low. I'll definitely be stocking up if I see it in store again

"I discovered Olaplex today! My hair feels fantastic! I’m soooo impressed
Olaplex is UNREAL! They've got a great little Christmas set out containing #3-6. It's worth over £86 but currently £48 for the four full size items (cheaper than I get it at trade). A little really goes a long way. By far the best product for damaged hair x"
Absolutely it is |

I've been oil cleansing when I remember (lol). Just rubbing oil around my face (then wash afterwards). Claims to help loosen and dissolve sebaceous filaments.
I think it makes a difference. But I need to be more consistent. |

Not makeup related but I realised I hadn't seen one of these in a while so thank you for bringing it back.
I don't wear makeup but I enjoy reading all the posts just in case I decide to become glam one day |

You do you
I got into it about three years ago. It's been a learning curve. If you want to, ask, if you don't, rock on |

I love Olaplex too! Juat bought no3 the other day and usually get the 1-2 treatment done at my salon but might buy for myself as extra |

I use the no6 Olaplex definitely worth the money.
On another note, since reading one of these threads back at the beginning of lockdown I decided to try The Ordinary have tried a few different products but my new love is The Ordinary
Vitamin C Suspension 30% on the last of my first purchase and been struggling to find anywhere in stock but just managed to buy 5 on DECIEM at a bargain price as well x |

I would say it is worth a go to see if it works for you, I was a bit hesitant reading reviews and feedback but was pleasantly surprised even with my allergy prone sensitive skin. And even after using for a short time have noticed the difference |

I've been looking at ways to boost my hair growth. It seems to get stuck at this point.
I've seen a couple of people talk about coconut oil mixed with Peppermint oil as a nightly conditioning treatment. Has anyone tried this? Or anything that works? |

I can't say for sure because my hair grows like gangbusters. But I've been using the L'Oréal dream lengths products for awhile (and avoiding regular towel drying or any heat treatment). My hair has never felt so soft and smooth, and I love the smell.
I know hair skin nails vitamins are also a thing. |

If they've still got the six pan minis on the specials site... they're awesome. I got one of the limited edition Mtherships for half price awhile ago but that kind of deal just does not happen often. |
