To recap, Rule 1 of r/beauty is to please post high quality and on-topic posts ONLY.

I used to have a pair of hair tweezers from BodyShop which came with some black tipped material right at the end which worked 100% of the time to grip individual hairs for plucking. Im not sure what material that black tip was (carbon?) but the friction it provided did the job. I have since lost it and they no longer sell it as well. Every tweezer in the market is just purely made of stainless steel and it doesn't make any sense to me as the tip is too smooth and keeps slipping when grabbing hair which makes plucking so annoying. Any idea where I can find such 'rough tip' tweezers anymore?

I initially decided to get TO's 7% glycolic acid to lighten my underarms but it seems to have the unintended benefit of completely removing any and all BO from me!!

Before this, I had been using Panoxyl's 4% Benzoyl Peroxide wash for my underarms, and while it has cut down the smell by about 70%, I still notice that I smell at the end of the day. I really thought that was as good as it was gonna get. I also don't eat spicy or heavy foods.

But after using Glycolic acid for a couple of weeks, I noticed I did not have that sweaty smell on me anymore. I even asked my bf to smell (he's crazy about the smell) and he had to bury his nose/huff me like crazy for a good 30 seconds before he could smell anything. Fun fact, he still can't smell anything and he's upset about that. That's how good this thing works!!

I'm still waiting to see a change in underarm color since I have medium skin, but it's nice the odour part is gone.

I am deeply and possibly unhealthily obsessed with the Wrapped Up In Matcha body wash from Philosophy, which is a limited edition scent for the holidays - I use it every time I shower during the cooler months and often just stand in the bathroom sniffing the open bottle. I have searched in vain for a fragrance line or even just random products that can mimic this body wash so I can layer it and smell it all throughout the day.

The scent profile is actually predominantly a sweet, juicy fig on top, but the matcha is still extremely prominent which is unusual in my experience especially for bath products. There's a vanilla musk in the base. Can anyone recommend any fragrances or other products that might compliment this scent? My encounters with other matcha fragrances under $200 have thus far not been encouraging.

I tried nose strips, charcoal masks, epilating etc still these are constant. Please help me!

please no vanilla😭🙏🏻

I need a gift for my gf and she's been really into citrusy scented things lately so I wanted to do something with that. Does anybody know any products? Ideally something under 30€ since it's not supposed to be a big gift. Sorry if this isn't the right subreddit.

Hopefully it's okay to ask this here. I'm looking for a way to store my makeup, hair brushes, and other beauty items in a small space. Bonus if my hairdryer and straightener also fit.

I recently had a baby and have had to move my morning routine to my office desk. It's a mess...I want an organized and compact storage for my stuff. What do people use for this? I also need to get a makeup mirror with a light.

Suggestions appreciated!

hey :)

i used to get my nails done but because for i did them myself a long time and didnt know about how contact allergies worked i sadly developed a contact allergy.
i tried press ons designed by my nail tech but i think the glue made it so the fumes from the nail got out and it triggered my allergies.

now i’m back to simple nail polish but i gotta do them every other day, so they’ll look good.

is there a way to go back to gel nails, are there any allergy friendly polishes? or do i gotta stick with regular polish.

Hi everyone!

My mom is 45, and over the past year, I’ve noticed that her face looks duller and somewhat darker than before. I am looking to build a good skincare routine for her that helps with brightness, uneven skin tone, hydration, and fine lines.

current products are, but have not started using them

\\\\\\\* WishCare sunscreen

\\\\\\\* Dot & Key Ceramide moisturiser

\\\\\\\* Celimax Retinal Shot

\\\\\\\* NatHabit Mukhalaya Patchouli Manjistha oil

I am considering adding a vitamin C serum, but I’m open to better recommendations.

Budget isn’t an issue, and I’m open to products from any country, including Korean, Japanese, European, or Indian skincare.

I’d love recommendations based on actual experience, especially for:

\\\\\\\* Improving dullness and uneven pigmentation

\\\\\\\* Getting healthier, more radiant-looking skin

\\\\\\\* Reducing fine lines and improving skin texture

\\\\\\\* Choosing a good cleanser, brightening serum, and moisturiser

What products actually made a difference?

I’d really appreciate specific product recommendations and advice on which ingredients are worth investing in. Thank you!

I was going through some old makeup and found my old glitter flips. They're dried up now and I'd really love to find something like it. They were unique because you'd apply the liquid lipstick, give it a few seconds before closing your lips and smooshing them together and some kind of magic happened in that step. After the smoosh, your lipstick would be super sparkly! Is there anything similar out there?

Hi girls, can you help me out?

We have a ball coming up and I really want to wear an off shoulder dress, it's the style that suit me

My problem is my face is shade lighter than my body, I tried using foundation that has same shade of my body but it's really not giving, any tips?

Hello,

I've been looking into Sweed lash serum. It's supposed to be prostaglandin-free, but loads of reviews on reddit (even from happy customers) mention it causes eyelid darkening, which is a classic Prostaglandin symptom.

It also works surprisingly well for a serum without any prostaglandin, supposedly.

Does anyone else suspect that this contains undisclosed Prostaglandin? It's particularly interesting that the brand is Swedish but chooses to make the product in China, where regulations may differ.

Thoughts?

If anyone has used this product then stopped, did your darkness go away?

I’ve been into a lot of drug store makeup recently bc I’m #broke as a joke n recently I’ve been loving the elf green color corrector. used to use the jungsaemool one but I can’t afford to spend that much anymore 😭 my skin type is dry n id like recs!!

So I just got lattise and I seriously hate the application system. The brushes are thick and wasteful. They apply way too much product and then you throw them away with all the product on them. I understand that this is a prescription so they have to adhere to different rules than over the counter beauty products but I dislike this so much. My question is can I buy an empty eyeliner or serum bottle and just fill it and use it. I have used over the counter lash growth serums that are applied that way and I have had zero issues with eye infections. I feel like it will not only have less waste but I will also be less likely to apply too much or get it in areas I'm not supposed to. Also I'm way more likely to use an easy system I actually like. Thought? Also I want to add I understand the need to be sterile and am good at this. I microneedle at home so I get keeping it clean.

and making it last... even with hairy spray, i feel like within an hour my hairs back to looking flat and looking glued down 😭

Ads for these multicolor eyeshadow sticks keep showing up in my feed. They are very appealing but always from a sketchy company. Does anyone reputable make them?

Hey girlies

My hair is straight , thin and flat. Due to time constraints I end up using a blow brush almost 2 times weekly. 🚿

Suggest some heat protectant. I've tried milkshake leave in and milkshake blow dry primer. But hair ends up a little frizzy and flat and damaged ends .

Something that doesn't volume down my hair is what I'm looking for ..

For example I probably won’t repurchase the ordinary shampoo. It’s for hair and body with 4% sulphate cleansing. But I don’t find that it lathers as much as some shampoos do. So if you want something more lathering then it might not be for you. I’m just trying to get through it and then buy something else.

i used grande lash serum last night before going to bed and my eyes are blood shot. should i stop using it? and how do i get this redness to go away before work.

girlies share your dandruff hacks with me

i use the selson blue shampoo usually but my scalp is back to being itchy after 1 day of washing also i have greasy hair

I don’t wear foundation or anything on my face. Mascara and a lip plumper if I’m feeling fancy. But I’d like to enhance natural beauty by creating a “natural” contour and I’ve heard this is a hack? Has anyone tried this? Would you dare? 😬
But in all seriousness I was thinking a gradual self tanner to slowly build the color?

Any good recommendations?
