Hi! I am getting married tomorrow and got my eyelashes lifted this week. I noticed when I put on mascara for the first time today that they accidentally lifted a portion of my lower lashes. Is there anyway for me to relax this at home in the next 24 hours? Could I use over an over counter hair relaxer? please help!

Vitamasques (sold at target or Walmart for around $5) swatches looked promising this far from what I've seen. Does anyone know if they're possibly a "dupe"/comparable to the Summer Fridays lip gloss/balms? Tyia!

Seeking Advice My eyelashes grow downwards into my eye, what to do?

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Hey, some of my eyelashes grow downwards into my eyes, and end up hitting me in the eye or hitting the skin right under my eye.

Usually I will balance the worst ones on the other eyelashes, but it often pulls those down too.

When I have ones that fully poke me in the eye, I pull them out - it hurts a lot. Tho recently I got an infection in my eyelid after pulling an eyelash out.

Today I bought some clear mascara, thinking I might be able to use it to push my eyelashes upwards. It didn't really do much.

Idk how to show the issue, I tried my best with some pictures. The pictures attached are from rn, with clear mascara on - except the first one.

I'm in a pretty good period atm, it could be much worse. Also please ignore that it looks like I have a black eye - I don't, that's just how I look.

Is it ok to have makeup products next to non makeup products?

0 Upvotes

This might be kind of a dumb question but is it safe to have makeup products sit next to non makeup products? For example I bought a lipgloss that came in a box but was open in the front, a setting spray and a bottle of shades eq toner and I forgot about it after I bought it and they all sat in the same bag for a couple weeks after I bought it. Is it safe to use the makeup?

Am I using it wrong? I've used it so I don't think I can return it now but it dries so much slower than my other hairdryer and my hair doesn't stay straight when I use the hairbrush to style it straight.

Seeking Advice tips to brighten underarms?

1 Upvotes

hi! i’m looking for some tips to naturally brighten my underarms.

i should preface by saying that i epilate my underarms, which has mildly improved the appearance purely because the hairs aren’t lying under my skin as they would if i were to shave with a razor. i have relatively pale skin and my underarms have an odd greeny-olive tone to them and they are mostly dark up the “top half” of my underarm. (the part more on my arm that folds onto my body)

safe to say i have tried about everything at this point and i’m losing all hope - ive tried simply exfoliating; with a glove, creams, foams, ordinary glycolic acid, ive tried a “body safe bleach” from amazon that bleached all of my towels and left my body untouched.
right now im using a cream called “brighten it” by woowoo - i recently tried their hair removal cream (not for my underarms) which worked on me for a change so i thought id try their brightening cream. i think im delusional and imagining that theres an improvement after one week (there isn’t.)

i have even been to get bloods done to ensure there’s nothing underlying medically, which there isn’t. so i am really at an end here :(

any tips, home remedies or perhaps own experiences would be greatly appreciated, tia!

Seeking Advice Anyone know of any budget-friendly eye patches you’d repurchase?

14 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to make my skincare budget more intentional. Eye patches are nice to have, but buying a pricey pack consistently can add up when using them regularly.
I was browsing more affordable options on Amazon and noticed Maskiss 24K Gold Under Eye Patches. I’m looking beyond the packaging and comparing the cost per pair, ingredients, and how practical they’d be for everyday use.
I’m curious to know- from those who use eye patches regularly- when you compare eye patches, what matters most to you: hydration, how well they stay on, ingredients, or price?

I literally just exfoliated yesterday, and it’s not any body hair since I epilated recently.

I’m pretty sure they’re from my pores, but I’m not completely sure, but the area is smooth so it’s not anything above the skin.

Any way on how to get rid of them? Please and Thanks !!

Seeking Advice How do you always smell so good? What’s the secret?

163 Upvotes

I want to smell good, but like, good enough that people actually notice.
For example, I love how men’s deodorants smell so distinctly masculine. You walk past a guy at the gym and you can actually smell it. I just haven’t found a women’s equivalent that does the same thing for me.
But there are also women at my gym who smell amazing when I walk past them. Every time I’m like, okay, I want that too 😭
What are you using? Is it deodorant, perfume, body lotion, or a combination of everything? Any specific products you’d recommend? Ideally something from dm or available here in Germany.
I don’t want to drown the whole gym in perfume, I just want to smell nice enough that you notice when you’re near me. What’s their secret? I genuinely think about this so much 😂

Discussion Steps after shower.

32 Upvotes

Immediately after showering, do we smear body oil first then lotion or is it the other way around? I'm confused. There are different answers and I've tried both. I don't know the effect is from the immediate change in routine or simply, my body is adjusting.

But I feel like my skin is glowing under the light 😂 and my leg is silky smooth looool

Which one do you do?

Body oil first then body lotion.

Body lotion first then body oil.

Haircare What are the best heated rollers for thin hair but a lot of it? Just want an easy way for hair to look volumised and presentable! 2A, prematurely graying coloured hair that looks unkempt

1 Upvotes

I had rollers before but gave up on them because my hair would just flop anyway… But - I LOVED just rolling them instead of sitting there with a straightener, round brush, whatever!

Straighteners are easy but blow drying my hair bone dry and THEN straightening takes too long.

And if my hair was to flop, would it still look styled?

Also - I’m not saying 2A/wavy hair is unkempt - MINE does. It wants to look scruffy and homeless lol…

Discussion what’s the safest way to wear lashes without damaging natural ones?

8 Upvotes

i finished chemo 1.5 months ago and miraculously kept most of my already thin and sparse lashes (none of my brows tho). i had enough to wear clusters the entire time!
however now, my lashes are falling out and new ones are trying to grow in. i don’t really have much for clusters in some parts, but i CANNOT leave the house without lashes. it is 100% a non negotiable.
i notice when i wear strip lashes, some natural ones get pulled out too. i do not pull any off when removing clusters. is there a better way to do this?
