Good morning ladies, can you post on brazilian hair straightening, MAC cosmetics, and quick remedies for dark marks please? I'm actually in the process of growing my perm off and boy is it a challenge :-/, I've read up on brazilian and it seems pretty cool. Any thoughts? Also I went to see a dermatologist by the name of Milton Moore and I had a glycolic facial and it seems as though it has done a number on my skin......helpppp! I've noticed that you all mention a lot of products from Sephora, do you all reccommend MAC products? Thanks.
Hello, ChaunceeNicole.
MAC: I love the lip glosses. The stay put even though they are thick as molasses and may hair always gets stuck in the gloss. I also LOVE the Loose Iridescent Powder from MAC in Golden Bronze. Gives a nice shimmery glow (tap the brush to remove the excess unless you are going for the vegas show girl look). I find the powders and foundations are a bit thick for my liking. I usually stick to Makeup Forever's HD Powder and the Body Foundation. Gives a lighter coverage for the times I do wear foundation. Other MAC product I love is the Pigment, a highly concentrated loose powder. Be careful when you use that product! A little goes a LOOOONG way.
Brazilian Hair Straightening: I have not personally tried this technique. What I have tried and like is a Dominican Salon. They stylists there can get your hair straight and smooth without the use of chemicals. The stylist I see uses a round brush. Word of warning: that is one hot dryer you have to sit under. Summertime is the worst. I was there not too long ago and it was 100 degrees out. Sitting under that dryer, I was burning up. Not to mention I had run out of water and was so thirsty I was panting like a porn star. In the end, it was all worth it. If you have been growing out your relaxer and have gorgeous natural hair, I would try a Dominican Salon first before you put another chemical in your hair. Just my thoughts.
Glycolic facials... I see you posted this July 17th. Have you seen any improvement in your skin? I remember the first time I got a facial, specifically a peel. I didn't know what to expect. During the application, it was a bit tingly, but not unbearable. Afterwards, when I walked out I noticed I looked a bit red and "raw." Later on that day, when I was supposed to go out to eat with my sister I saw that I had scabs all over my face. I was horrified! These scabs lasted a good 3 days. Once they went away, I was left with beautiful, glowing, clear skin. Peel rules: Don't get a peel unless you can hide out for 3 days.
Dark spots. Let's see... I have tried just about everything in the world short of laser treatments and unfortunately, there is not "quick" remedy for getting rid of dark spots. There are effective treatments, but all take time.
The Dominican blow out is a great alternative to straightening your hair. I am natural and i always go to this dominican hair salon near 45N and she does wonders. There is this oil she uses that makes your hair smooth and silky. I have heard mixed reviews on the Brazilian straightening, it worked for one and not the other. I only use MAC when it comes to lip gloss and eye shadow. i really dont like their foundation, i use bare minerals.
