2012 rolling beauty product thread for girlies and girly-men

what's your hair product situation? my hair's very long and curly right now so i'm using:

(a) an anti-frizz cream to comb it out before shampooing/conditioning
(b) after shampooing/conditioning, partially drying with a microfiber towel
(c) combing in a leave-in conditioner (mixed chicks, which i like)

really though i need a haircut.

bodyshop banana shampoo, possibly after using an old Lush block of mazoul (sp?) mud shampoo.

Various Lush shower gels to shower.

I bought Schwarzkopf Gliss leave-in conditioner in Poland last year and it's the only conditioner I use regularly now. My hair has become really strong & shiny.

Joico K-Pak Color Therapy conditioner and Aveda clove color conditioner (alternately, sometimes mixed) have been pretty good for my frizzy hair this summer. Really need that mixed chicks leave-in product too, though -- thanks, jbr. And I too need a haircut. SOON.

Philosophy Field of Flowers is the nicest-smelling shower gel I've ever found.

Having recently adopted a sun-damage-limitation strategy of Basically Never Going Outside, for those unavoidable "outdoors" occasions I just bought a sunblock stick from Aveeno. It's marked "for babies" or something and is mostly ZnO and titanium oxide. I look like a fucking goth but I do not fear the UVA/UVB.

Zinc oxide is all you need. I used to lol at people with white zinc noses and lips but after 20 years of sunburn I got wise.

It is extremely important that you make sure your lips are protected. There is no melanin in your lips to protect you from UVA.

i like the bumble and bumble grooming cream for your (a) situation.

i just bought my first safety razor, a merkur long-handled double-edge. i got a lovely shave with it, and a feather blade, but now i've got wicked razor burn. products i'm using

– proraso menthol eucalyptus shaving cream
- a badger brush that smells like real badgers, seriously. actually a little gross
- witch hazel

I do a good shave. Simple Gillette razor, but I use this:

Go with the grain, then re-lather and go against the grain. Then Kiehl's blue astringent, or Clinique women's astringent.

BETCH I WAS SO CAKE FACED TODAY

- Bobbi Brown undereye concealer (Ivory)
- Bobbi Brown eyeshadow (Rock) in crease, blended out
- Smashbox pink highlighter on brow bones
- Stila Convertible Color blush (Lilium)
- theBalm Stainiac lip stain (Beauty Queen)
- Korres lip butter (Plum)
- Clinique loose powder (Transparency Neutral)

At least I looked sort of awake? IDK. At my advanced age I feel I can use the makeup, tbqh, but it is easy to go too heavy and look like an insane circus clown if one is not careful.
