RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

welcome back to the junk drawer of random beauty thoughts and musings. it has been nearly a year, so i think it is time for a rew RT thread ! 

 

when i'm doing my makeup in the morning, my dog sometimes throws a fit until i move his food bowl over to where i'm sitting. i'm certainly not the diva in our relationship.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

@Insomniacmuffin If you wear any nice moisturizing lip balm and wear liquid lipstick on top, you will get the same result. Why waste an expensive product as a base when you can make do with just a lip balm😉. Try it, I hope you'll like the result.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Thanks for the tip 😄

 

The YSl I have it just a deluxe from a promo, the color ends up too fuschia on me so I have been trying to find ways to make it work.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I don't understand lip palettes. Fine for applying the perfect pout while sitting at your vanity, but what do you do throughout the day to reapply? Carry a clunky palette in your purse?

There was a Bare Minerals palette I picked up where the pans were removable and they included a single compact so that you could then take the color of the day with you.  I got just for that reason.  LOL

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I love them for mixing my own colour and always end up using ALL.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I like them, however there are always colors included I never end up using. It is just easier to travel with a tube of lipstick.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I always think they look pretty and will admit to buying one, but then NEVER using them.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

So, about Chi irons in Canada...

 

I just notice my (admittedly ancient but still works like a dream) Chi has a label on it saying it is not legal for home use in Canada. Am I reading that wrong? Is it a temperature thing or something entirely unrelated? Also, as Canada tends to be very attuned to consumer issues., should I worry? 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

@MarciaBrady I had one for years and no problem... same for my hairdresser.  It could mean that it's not for personal use (home) only for salon use?  When the professional irons started to invade the market CHI was pretty powerful compared to others and honestly I wouldn't have recommended one to someone with no experience with a flat iron. Too hot. It was the tool to have if you had lots of hair and knew how to use it. But they weren't sold everywhere like today. Since yours in "ancient" could be the first generation and I would see a label saying just that... not for home use. So could be what that means... home use vs salon use. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Aaah...that makes perfect sense. It's pretty hot. It even gives off a 'super hot' smell. I deal because i can straighten my entire head of hair in about 3 minutes. 😄

 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

yeah the first gen. was really good and really hot like you said. 🙂 Sadly they don't make them the same anymore. When mine kinda crapped out I switched to a Bio Ionic one pass flat iron.... I've had it for years now and still love it. So if ever you need to switch out yours I'd look into that one 😉

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Oooh...thank you. I will. I've been feeling like it's days must be coming to an end, and have heard they just don't make them like they used to. Thanks for the recommendation!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Not legal for home use? Thats whats written? What are they going to do. Arrest you for using iron? LOL

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I know! I can just see a bunch of people turning down the lights and pulling the shades/blinds/curtains closed before flat ironing their hair. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

😄

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Oh yikes! I had no idea. I did own a CHI last year and returned it because I didn't like that I couldn't control the temperature setting but it did definitely work well! I never read that- interesting..

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I've had it for many years, and that was the first time I noticed the label. No fires so far. Fingers crossed.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)
