Thread: Have you tried a new product? Thumbs up or down? Summer 2009

CHI Shine Infusion Thermal Polishing Spray - I use it before straightening my hair and it looks polished, glossy and feels great. It's only 3.95 on Amazon compared to 13.99 at Walgreens.

lemon juice as skin lightener/ toner. Absolutely love it!! :-)

Cross-posting from the at-home facial thread:

Can any of you suggest a wipe-off/rinse-free cleanser you especially like that doesn't break the bank? I'm a fan of Clinique cream cleanser, but I'm hoping to find something new to try at the drugstore, grocery store, or health-food store. Thanks!

Anybody using sweet almond oil, either straight or blended, as a moisturizer? I really love Jason's Vitamin E Beauty Oil in the lowest, least expensive concentration, and I'm am thinking of mixing up something similar using organic almond and grapeseed oils from the grocery store.

Hey sweety, meet us over at the Oct. '09 thread!

And to answer your question, Target's makeup remover wipes are DA BOMB. I use 'em personally and professionally. No need for moisturizer after and I have dryish skin.

I would use the vegetables oils on the body but not necessarily on the face, too occlusive.

Hiya, sweets. Whoops, I should have specified -- I use oils on the bod only. But I do love them.

Haven't tried Target's wipes. Thanks for the rec! I'll put those next on my list. You've reminded me that I recently tried a sample of the ones from Garnier in the screaming-green pouch and liked them very, very much. No sting, and just enough residue to moisturize without feeling like you need to rinse. Thumbs up.
