at home facials? what do they consist of? (or is it previously mentioned in this thread that I haven't completely read lol)

I think we covered them in this post. But I have quite forgotten. I'll tack that to the list of info to compile for you. When I have time to sit and sift through sites, I'll send the good soap stuff and home mixed facials to you.

Edey:

I use my own flannel feminine pads

I bought a menustral cup several months ago and have been really happy with it. In fact, I've become a bit of fanatic against disposable pads and tampons, and am delighted to hear about other women trying feminine care alternatives that are simultaneously more frugal and more green.

Brandy, if you also apply your eyeshadow with a little water, not only do you use less, but it lasts for hours and hours

Are you actually mixing a little water with it? I use a creme one I love but it costs more than powder. I wonder if wetting powedered would be as satisfactory for me.

JennyC:

I'd wet the tip of the brush and rub the drop of water over the eyeshadow

Thank you. I wet the applicator and rub some powdered eyeshadow onto it to use for liner but it never occured to me to try it for the eyeshadow itself.

JennyC:

The stuff lasted forever; I've long suspected that's part of why the companies quit making it.

I have noticed that if something works very well and lasts, it has to be changed.
