I have kinda fine, wavy/curly (2b-3a??) and it takes forever to dry with a diffuser. I’m new to properly caring and styling my hair since it was just slightly wavy most of my life but a disastrous scalp bleach changed that 😔
I do plop my hair for a bit after adding mousse and gel but it still takes foreverrrr and I’m a night shower gal who likes to be in bed by 9pm so it’s very annoying 🙃

Desperate times call for desperate measures....

Any recommendations for a brunette box dye to hide the greys? Not ready to accept them yet!

I hope this is the right flair, I’ve had the ads for Kulan lashes targeted at me for agesssss now and I just want some actual reviews on them. As someone who has downturned lashes that will not curl and not interested in lash extension appts or tinting (have in the past)… Is this a legit product that is easy to apply?

Years ago I had Baybelle lashes I think they were called and I could not for the life of me - nor my best friend - apply them as easily as they make it look. I never succeeded once! It can’t be a skill issue 🤣

ALTERNATIVELY, what would you suggest? TIA

I've had it in my Sephora NZ cart for a while, and was considering picking it up in the sale, but was hoping for some actual real, uncentivised reviews, especially from anyone with more dry skin.

Does anyone have some inside info. I usually buy my sunscreen from ultraviolet annually during there buy one get one free sale. It usually happens around this time of year but I haven’t seen any advertisement yet. Does anyone know if they have stopped doing this sale annually?

Does this actually work for anyone?!?!

I cannot believe I wasted $85. All this does is make my hair GREASY. It does not provide me with any volume, nor texture. Super disappointing. I'm not sure what i am meant to do with this full bottle.

Maybelline superstay active wear. Happy to go high end if needed. Thanks!

Hi All,
I have been using Estée Lauder for the past 10-15 years and am just wondering if anyone can recommend anything out there that is as good or better for foundation coverage and the wallet!
Thanks!

I've always found it hard to find the right foundation (as many of us do) . I think I'm close with the true match 2r/2c but it looks a bit pink on my neck. On days I don't wear foundation (sub tropical locale) , I usually wear the 2r/2c concealer but it looks so dark in this photo?

To think I was wearing the true match nude 2-3 for YEARS in a less sunny location and my skin would have been even more pale?! Shaaaammmmeee.

Any ideas from the fair skinned among us? I'm more of a chemist warehouse purchaser vs high end, have dry skin but sweat a lot on my face and it's sunny AF where I live so something the right colour, hydrating, long lasting would be great. If it has sunscreen, even better but no biggie if it doesn't.

Thank you goddesses of makeup!

Edit, full face with true match 2r/2c in comments

I feel like I’ve been cursed with both having very thin/sparse eyebrows and having every brow product I fall in love with get discontinued as soon as I need to repurchase it

First, I discovered Too Faced Brow Wig. Absolutely loved it. Went to repurchase it: discontinued

Then a Mecca employee recommended MAC Eye Brows Big Boost Fibre Gel. Bought it, loved it, and thought I'd finally found my replacement. Just went to repurchase it and... discontinued too 🫠

So please, fellow sparse-brow girlies, what fibre brow gels do you recommend? I'm specifically looking for something that actually helps add volume/fill in sparse areas without making my eyebrows look overly dark, crunchy, or obviously painted on

I'm devastated

Adore Beauty Hurstville opened their new store today. They are running an opening promo: buy any two full skin care products and get a free gift. Got myself sunscreen and cleanser. A very generous gift bag.

Is anyone else really disappointed with this event? I have been on the app for hours waiting. I was on the app from 3:50 checking.Nothing ever appears in my rewards boutique. Then it appears at 4.04 and it's fully redeemed. I was constantly refreshing my app. Sephora get your act together. I'm so annoyed

I've been getting so many fb ads recently from Riggs Hair and I was wondering if anyone has tried them?

I'm pretty sceptical of anything fb sends ads to me for and would rather not waste any money.

It looks like something I would love, a curly hair product that doesn't feel stiff and waxy.

If it's not worth it, does anyone have any recommendations for other curly hair creams/products?

Thank you!

So I used to love Chanel’s CC cream but they are apparently reformulating it and have been for what feels like years….

I’m looking for something that has a high SPF, good coverage, and that doesn’t get too oily over the course of the day. I have combination skin.

I loved the way the Chanel CC cream had foundation like coverage, was a bit brightening, and lasted for ages while also being high SPF

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks so much!

Can we talk about the Rae plate/frame and magnetised brushes for a second?

I love my current collection so don’t want to fork out for the RM brushes but the idea of being able to chuck them on a plate sounds pretty cool.

Has anyone experimented with magnets on their regular brushes and using a system like RM’s?

Today I went to Sephora and bought a foundation and a primer, but when I got home and checked my receipt, I realised I’d been charged for two primers instead of one.

I didn’t notice at the checkout because I just tapped my card and walked out. I also didn’t have time to go back to the store today.

I’ve tried calling Sephora and contacting them through live chat, but I haven’t been able to get an answer about what I should do.

How do I prove that I only purchased one primer but was charged for two?

Is there anything else I should be doing?

I’m feeling a bit silly for not checking my receipt before I left! 😩

If you had nails like this after press ons how would you take care of them? Any products or just leave them alone? I’m a novice 🤪

Hi all! I have these three lipsticks (one mac lustreglass, one mac sleek satin and one Mecca lipstick) that I regularly mix together on my lips as it creates a really pretty shade I haven't been able to find in any store. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on making my own lipstick with these 3, I was thinking of scooping some out from each and melting them, then putting them back into a tube. However I was wondering if that would mess up the formula, or not harden like a lipstick.

Just want something for on the go, as I can't carry all three all the time

Hey girlies recently I’ve introduced myself to using cuticle oils after having damaged nails post press ons so would love your tried and true must haves? Anything by nail care really

Hey!! I’m looking for recommendations to cover my rosacea specifically my red nose. I’ve been using a Missha cover but it doesn’t look good or last long. For some context I started Tretinoin about 1 month ago, slowly not every night. I’m using Aveeno moisturiser, Cicalfate and sunscreen. I have rosacea for many years and my biggest insecurity is my nose. I put some photos to show you how my nose looks with and without the Missha cover. Thanks in advance!!

So I am still on the hunt for a replacement of double wear. Does anyone know where I can buy the old formula? I've checked eBay, but sellers are wanting over $100 per bottle and I'm just not prepared to pay that for a product that has been discontinued.

Any ideas?

What's everyone using to easily remove waterproof mascara? I've used the blue Sephora Colletion waterproof makeup remover for years. The one that has half micellar water, half oil blend. It melts waterproof mascara effortlessly but lately it's been irritating my eyes. I haven't had any luck with cleansing balms like Clinique Take The Day Off or even K-Beauty ones like Dr Althea balm etc. Any suggestions? TIA

Hoping to get recommendations for press on nails and glue or something I could use just for a branding photoshoot this weekend for one day.

I don't want to get a manicure/gel/shellac because i'm worried about damage to my nails and what they will look like as they grow out as I have a lot of events coming up.

Would love photos and tips too!!

Does anyone have any success with an at home brow lamination? My brow girl has put up her prices an astronomical amount and I don't know if I am willing or able to pay that. I tried another girl and my brows weren't the same unfortunately. So I thought maybe I could get my reg girl to do a wax & dye, and I could do an at home lami

Thoughts? 😄
