Tell me all your beauty secrets plzzz
lilyelayne somewhere you wrote you put olive oil or coconut oil in your hair and then braid it and sleep in it that way so I tried it and I loved it. So now I want to hear what everyone else does/any kind of tricks!
A friend gave me this when DD was born. Great for everything. Dry hands, sore nipples (edible for baby!), massaging sore feet, control frizzy hair, you name it. Smells yummy too.

@ellteejay, booda butter looks awesome. I used jojoba oil (an ingredient in that) on my stomach when I was pregnant to see if it would help reduce stretch marks. I know it mostly has to do with genes, but my mom is covered in stretch marks and I only got one tiny one. I want to get that oil next time I'm preg!

I'm also obsessed with hair. I can braid, tease, curl, blow dry and style with the best of them. The running joke in my family is that DD will a) have no hair b) won't let me touch it
Fishtailing and French fishtail are my favorite...so cathartic. Same with curling hair. I love it.
I guess my beauty "secret" would be aquasmooth foundation by covergirl. It's a liquid to powder foundation that does not enhance lines/creases and covers uneven skin tone. I get so many compliments about my face looking flawless. Thank god for make-up lol. My only "complaint" is that I wish it came in an even lighter color. I am the palest of pale.
Benefit rollerlash is my favorite mascara and I just started using Philosophy face products (so far I love them). Tarte makes a clay blush that is super pigmented and lasts all day.

Going off this, Benefit has my favorite cream eye shadow. I have oily skin and it's always perfect and lasts all day. The only kind I'll use.
I switched from all the fancy face soaps to just using Dove on my face followed up by witch hazel toner. Lots of moisturizing. I'm cutting back on the shampooing but it's gross...my hair gets so greasy. I'm trying to power through in hopes it gets better.
Ugh me too. I've bought something similar to Wen which you are supposed to use in replace of shampooing and conditioning but I just can't. I love the feel of fresh shampooed hair
Lol I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this thraed. I only recently started washing my face with a proper cleanser. Normally I would just splash some body wash on my face in the shower.
And don't get me started on my hair...pony or bun only these days
I'm so jealous of all of you with hair! And curly hair to boot! I have hair as thick as a horses tail and straight as.... I dunno something really straight. Except the ends which curl up in this Mary Tyler Moore flip.
Wahhh! I am the opposite. I have such fine, straight hair I can style it in no time and it looks "great". Give it 20-30 min and it's back to flat and straight. No amount of hairspray helps either. I wish it was thicker!

toadandbuggie and @nolagal there was definitely a transition period when I stopped using shampoo. I think I kind of tapered off of it by reducing to weekly and then stretching it out over time. I only use conditioner now and my hair is so much better.

Does anyone know how to do contouring? Any tips? I am intrigued by the idea and kind of want to try it but I am intimidated by putting that much make up on my face. I feel like it would look really obvious and unnatural.

Clinque face bar for me. Lasts forever. Even the travel one I had in our shower got used every day for almost a year (cleaner threw it out). All my breakouts went away.
Ditto on avoiding washing my hair more then every few days. I usually go 2-3 days between washes unless I get puke in my hair. It takes a few weeks for your hair to acclimate and be less greasy, but I get more volume and softer hair with this method.
I need all these tips! Anyone with curly/wavy hair recommend everyday styling products? I used to blow-dry and straighten every other day but that is not happening now and I feel like getting out of the messy bun funk I've been in for the past 7 months.
Also, has anyone gotten their lashes tinted? Mine are invisible ginger-lashes without mascara and I'm curious about tinting but don't know anyone who has done it.
