I apologize if a similiar thread exists.

I have the worst dry skin on my face right now, it generally happens every time the seasons change. I tend to get patches of eczema under my eyes and lots of flaking on/around my nose. It's so bad right now that it looks like I have dandruff in my eyebrows and my cheeks are even flakey.

I have very sensitive skin and anything "greasy" on my face makes me break out in tons of blackheads and doesn't seem to help the issue either.

Any suggestions for a product that would help the with the flakes and overall dryness? I treat the eczema with a prescription med that contains a steroid. ]]> Beauty and Skincare Charmed Hour http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/beauty-skincare/117535-really-dry-skin-face.html http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/beauty-skincare/116841-help-me-identify-cologne-bottle.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:59:24 GMT I saw it on a friend's dresser.

Men's cologne. Clear rectangular bottle with stripes all over it - sort of a plaid, but not solid, so that I could see the bottle.

I don't want to ask because that ruins a present.

I've unfortunately been cursed with very thin lips (thanks mom!), and several of my friends have told me that the Lip Fusion Infatuation line does a good job of plumping them up. Has anyone on here tried them before?

I'm sure my boyfriend would love me if I had lips like Kim Kardashian here: Infatutation Microsite He would also have two broken legs if he ever told me that, though!

Thanks for any advice you guys can pass on.

Sorry.

I have really long hair and quite a few grays (they started coming when I was about 23!!). My hair is pretty medium/dark blonde naturally, but gets quite dark at the roots and underneath (naturally). So I've been dyeing it for a few years. First, DH would do it for me from hair color bought at the store. Then my sister talked me into getting highlights and I went to her stylist (this was about five years ago maybe) ... she is freaking AWESOME and my hair always looked great, but holy shit, she was expensive. Full color and foil highlights, plus conditioning treatment ... $300+ with tip. I went to two other stylists and was not happy with the results, so I always wound up going back to the high priced one (you get what you pay for, I guess). Well, it's been about 2-3 months since my last appointment ... money's been tight, and there was just always something else that needed $300. Tomorrow is my son's Halloween celebration at school (parade and party) and tomorrow night is trick or treat in our area. Both things I'll be seeing both sides of the family and my hair looked like shit, so I bought hair color (Loreal) from Target the other day .... dark blonde. DH did it tonight ... it's medium to dark brown with red highlights! It was on the right amount of time and everything. I felt so bad for DH because I burst into tears (yeah, I'm hormonal).

I'm so pissed off. I know how to read the box ... I looked at the before and after colors on the side of the box for my hair color ... my hair now is many shades darker than advertised!! He's trying to placate me by saying he just worked a ton of overtime and is getting several grand (tuition reimbursement from work) in the next week and saying he's more than happy to pay for me to go to my stylist next week ... which is all sweet and everything, and I love you, DH, for trying to be so nice to your weeping wife as you tell her she still looks beautiful, she's just not blonde, but (dark) brown, even though I KNOW you don't like my hair dark ... blah, blah, blah .... SOB! I can't go get it redone in a week or it will fall out from overprocessing!!! I think he hid the scissors. LOL How long do I have to wait before I can get it re-colored? Like 6-8 weeks, right? My hair is thin (but a lot of it) and very dry normally. ]]> Beauty and Skincare Nevan http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/beauty-skincare/116136-so-pissed-off-hair-color-box-lied.html http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/beauty-skincare/115479-has-anyone-ever-tried-emu-oil.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:48:07 GMT If so, what did you think? What did you use it for?

I've been reading about it and am very interested but I'm not sure where to get it from - I've heard that some of them don't smell very good even if they're refined properly. ]]> Beauty and Skincare sparklehead http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/beauty-skincare/115479-has-anyone-ever-tried-emu-oil.html
