So here are the photos I promised my reader Anjela I'd post of OPI's Charged Up Cherry. I LOVE this color, but the photos don't do it any justice...actually I think I just need to learn how to use my digital camera. ;)
Hey! I am SO jealous!! You can polish darn well! If those pics didn't do the color justice then I'm itching to get this! I wish I could polish that well!! Thanks for posting! I appreciate it so much!! :)
I have a question. I have been reading all of your previous posts and you stress exfoliating your face 2X a week and using a mask 2X. What products do you recommend. I previously used Erno Lazlo sea mud scrub which was fantastic. However, they do not carry it anymore. I am also open to a drugstore brand. I desperately need exfoliation, so any advice you can give is truly appreciated.
To Latoicha: I really appreciate your reading my blog!
There are so many good products I could recommend, but I trained using Dermalogica products and never had issues with them.
I'm glad that you mentioned that you scar easily- that immediately tells me that you should stay away from harsh scrubs (with beads/granules) and try a very, very gentle exfoliant. I'd recommend trying Dermalogica's Gentle Cream Exfoliant, Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel Sensitive or Somme Institute's Transport. With your skin type- you should DEFINITELY patch test the product first!
Two masks that I love are: Dermalogica's Skin Refining Masque (clay based) and the Skin Hydrating Masque (non-setting mask).
Oh and don't forget Sephora! They are very generous with samples and in my experience, most of their associates seem to be knowledgeable.
I also wrote a post on hyperpigmentation that you should check out when you have time.
And as I'm a licensed esthetician and not a dermatologist, I always encourage clients to seek the advice of a dermatologist!
oh yea, were you able to locate a copy of the italian vogue featuring the black models?
ReplyDeleteTo "Antithesis": My friend was in NYC yesterday (July 4th) and checked for me and couldn't find it. He said someone told him to check again on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI also called Borders and B. Dalton here in DC and they don't have it yet...
BUT, Italian Vogue FINALLY updated their website with new pictures from the spread. Check out this link:
