The body shop does a good one too. Lip stain is good hey - it just sits there and does not wipe off (I guess why it is called a stain, duh elly!). But I didn't even know about it until a year or so ago, so it was a bit of a revelation for me that you could eat a meal and it's still there! Drink a coffee and it doesn't come off on the lip of your cup. This is all excellent unless you happen to:

- try on the free sample in the usual free sample colour (ie an awful red that no-one would actually buy) and realising you are stick with it for the next 12 hours.

- misapply and, for the next 12 hours, walk around looking like you have been punched in the mouth.

If you can't rub lipstick off with food or kisses, then it's paint. May as well use nail polish to coat your lips imo. Bad bad stuff. The idea that you'd be licking it all day, ingesting whatever makes it so nonremovable...worries me.

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 1:30 pm

it's more of a stain though i think...inky more than painty.

surely all make up is a worry based on your idea mixxy. black 'paint' on your eyelashes, kohl around eyes, 'paint' foundation on your face etc.

i heard somewhere that over a woman's life time she'll ingest a margarine tubs worth of lipstick. i think that's more worrying than staining your lips.

"WHALE BLUBBER"

Anything waterproof worries me. Mascara, eyeliner, whatevs. If I can't take it off with soap and water, or moisturiser, there's something serious in there. Like lead.

Word Elly. I tried that stuff once and missed the lines. Never again

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 2:49 pm

i defo couldn't get it off

i used a makeup pad thingy with remover on it, rubs the bejeezus out of lips and there was not even a speck of colour on the pad!

wore off after maybe 15-18 hours

waterproof mascara is made of boot polish i heard

Hey angels!
This thread is fantastic. . . Sort of like the bold and the beautiful, you can leave it one place and come back and it still revolves around the same themes, but with no slappers in it!
Loreal, i changed from it after reading what you said, but i cant find any other night cream that works as good as theirs

. I want to know about olay? Animal sufferage?
Gnat, i was wondering if they ever made a lipstick that stays on for as long as it says. I would buy to try. Is there color range decent?

TBH IMO you can use MaxFactor.

The ad says its great, why wouldn't you belive that?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 6:02 pm

did anyone see the greun transfer show about the 'revolutionary ingredients' used in face creams?

from cucumber (feasible) to extract of catafray (warehouse floor shavings)

to the new nivea capaign for 'oxygen' infiltrated cream...
the ad even says

'dont have time to breathe?"

HHAHAHAHAHAHAH

hey uly. i use aesop night moisturiser and a revlon day cream and primer. both of them are good on the no animal testing front. also aesop is good. give em a go

ulyssian wrote:Gnat, i was wondering if they ever made a lipstick that stays on for as long as it says. I would buy to try. Is there color range decent?

i use revlon pretty much exclusively for makeup. great range of products and colours. love the colourstay range.

and one of the pioneers for stopping animal testing: http://www.caringconsumer.com/company_revlon.asp

hai ladies!

im up for dinner.,..

in girly news > i paid over $200 for my first cut and colour in a salon...

i think it looks good but dayum, not gonna be able to justify that very often!

Polecat · Post by **Polecat** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 5:08 pm

it's a luxury to go the double in the salon gk, but if you look great and feel a million $$$ it's worth it

(and saves on the mess with home colour, which i need to do this week :S)

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:13 pm

well ive woken up today and i dun like it.
theres only one way i can describe the feelings this hair colour conjures in me

SUBURBAN.

Who here did any of these things while growing up >
> dye chunks of your hair some random colour
> torture/draw on/ applique/bedazzle boring clothes
> wear army gators, or feathers, or glitter, or an ammo belt, or carry a gun with sounds as part of your going-to-the-supermarket outift
> sew random things into your hair
> get obsessed with DIY fashion

Well ive done all of them. and at some point in my mid twenties i thought ' gee it would be nice to walk down the street without gettin jibed all the time, you know, blend in a bit, wear my peircings on the inside etc etc"

after all this growing out shaved head, going to salon, trying in vain to get away from black,
i think my brief flirtation with cosmo type stylings is OVER.
i dont want to wear any beige, any crochet, any jeans and high heels, and i do NOT want hair that looks so damn 'foiled' and 'nice'

im heading back towards platform sneakers, extreme colours, and stallion blue black hair i do myself for $15.

viva la freak revolution.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:19 pm

uly- yeh there's a couple of nice muted type colours

re dinner:

easier to organise between russia and georgia

lol kitty, have you got lady hair? 150-200 bucks is about standard. so exy but worth it imo. i'm happy to pay, it's the 3 hour duration that kills me. there's only so much robbie williams i can take yanno

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:34 pm

try four hours and jack johnson.

lady hair = kitty FAIL.

i am giving it one week and then its off to the bathroom, black dye in hand.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:34 pm

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:58 pm

go back and tell her you're not happy with it.
did you tell her what you wanted?

Polecat · Post by **Polecat** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 1:00 pm

always best to go to salons where the workers have haircuts you like and play music you like i reckon. You get a better match of your style to theirs. i miss going to Lure.

im scared to do that.

i told her i wanted dramatic, i agreed to the purple colour but its BAD.
she told me no promises with the blonde bits, but the way they are, like discreet and under the other hair, is just WAY to normal, not what i was after at all.

i wanted hair as eye catching as your tashma, thats why i told her, youve got free reign pretty much.

but.

i hate it.

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 1:12 pm

since you had black hair the blonde would never have come out blonde. i'd have thought that'd be kinda obvious.
all my foils are underneath too...there's just lots of them so they stand out.
if you give it a couple of weeks and wash your hair a few times the colours will start to stand out more. there would be residue from the dark colour in the purple and blonde bits, so before you dye over them again, wait and see how they look after a few washes.
my blonde bits always looks kinda grey and weird when i first get it done, but that's because some of the dark dye soaks into them when they wash it.

but seriously, if you're that unhappy with it, and have forked out over $200 for it, i'd want it to be right.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 1:15 pm

yeah, as i said, ill give it a week.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 1:53 pm

defo go back- they prefer you to do this!

going black to lighter foils is a fair mission lady- don't packet dye it and waste all that money. go back and let em know exactly what you don't like

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 1:58 pm

was this done when i saw you last night GK? i thought your hair was still black. i am shit at noticing things sometimes though

i reckon wait it out for a bit and see what comes of it. Its a big change and one to get used too.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 2:03 pm

yes, liz was mauve and cream last night, but had it in piggies so you def could not have noticed.

no chance of that today.

ill give it a week and if i still dont like it ill call her up and explain.

scary. hairdressers are scary, even the lovely ones.

i spent a naughty amount of money on a new bag

well, i laybyed it, so it didn't hurt as much

it's really hot though

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 1:33 pm

what kind of bag?

perhaps my urge to get back to my freak roots came from great op shop missions last weekend.

cream fur coat for $20 (its bunny, but im recycling!)
eighties homemade number for $5 (so hideous, so cool)
pretty much ten items of clothing for $100.

you cant do that at the basement. i hate that place.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 1:43 pm

plus basement smells like fart

the bag is a wilson leathery rock slouch typa thingo- tres hotness
