What is the best advise/products you've received from your friends here on the Beauty Forums? For me:

1) Kenra Volume Hair Spray 25

2) Dr. Mascara Fixer

3) Beekman Body Wash

4) Bobbi Brown Face Base

5) Shiseido Eye Lash Curler

I'm so happy I learned about these products. I love them all, but I don't know whether I would of ever found them if it had not been for this forum - thank you!

To specifically use your facial exfoliant on your eyebrows - especially the ends.

Whether I use and AHA/BHA, reinol cream or regular facial scrub - I always remember to do the brow ends.

Thanks to whom ever mentioned it first!

Someone recommended a hair device, the voloomizer (I forget the exact word), and it has been life chaninging for my thin straight hair that has NO volume. I bought it on Amazon and I am tempted to buy another as backup in case anything ever happens to mine. It works kind of like a crimping device.....but once you get the hang of it, it is amazing. I learned about it here.

Trader Joe’s Nourish shampoo and conditioner

I first learned here that in dry climates, hyaluronic acid pulls moisture from your skin. I don’t use it unless it’s down the ingredient list and then I’m usually ok.

I’ve never heard that. What is the benefit? And by ends, do you mean the tails of your brow or throughout? So many questions LOL.

@Goldengate8361

That was probably me. I LOVE the Voloom! In fact I have all three sizes. Best thing ever invented for thin straight hair.

Thank you, @SilleeMee !!! It probably was you. I love this device---and I never would have known about -except from here. My hair looks MUCH better - thanks to you.

1. ButterLondon Serum Eyeshadow

2. Kenra 25 Hairspray

3. Aquage thickening spray gel

4. Becca highlighter in pearl

I am sure there are others, but these 4 came to mind right away.

@SilleeMee You mentioned you have all three sizes of the Voloom. Do you mind sharing which is your favorite? I have the 'Rootie', but am tempted to get the original one. I have shoulder length hair. Do you think it would be worth purchasing? Thanks!

@Swedishmiss

I think the Petite Voloom would work great for your shoulder-length hair. The Petite has the same size nubs as the Classic but there are less of them on the plates and that makes it easier to do shorter hair plus it's a lot easier to hold on to and maneuver. My hair is long, almost down to my bra strap in the back, so I like to use the Classic version the most. I like to use the Rootie for touch-ups. The Rootie has the smallest size nubs and plates...smaller than the other two versions.

To stop wasting my money on various products & start using Retin A. Literally, that's what the poster wrote, and she was right!

There have been many suggestions and now don't ya know, I can't remember them all. The most recent is the Laura Mercier undereye setting powder and a while back I read a number of posters use baby shampoo to wash their brushes. It's great and makes washing them so easy. CeraVe night moisturizer, CT flawless filter, E.L.F. putty primers. Thats just a few. I get so much good tips, information and recommendations from so many on this board. Thank you to all!

In 2008 at the height of the downturn, I found myself out of work . I had no $ to get my hair done and had a job interview to go to.

The Beauties helped me put together a look without spending a dime, put my hair up and helped with what to wear.

One poster said to "look in the mirror and talk yourself up because no one else will." "You're all you got." It's advice I'll never forget.

I did just that and landed the job.

@tucsongal: I, personally use it only on the last half (outside) of my brows. If I remember correctly , the OP mentioned that sometimes women think their brows are disappearing and that the exfoliation helps simulate growth?

I've never heard of exfoliating your eyebrows.

I use a microneedle roller across my brows when I do the rest of my face. That exfoliates the skin where the brow hairs grow plus it stimulates hair growth, too. Microneedling can also be done on the scalp to help stimulate hair growth there also.

Thank you @SilleeMee

I think I will go ahead and order the Petite version. 😃

I have to shout out @monicakm who told me to use marula oil on my brows. I have seen them become thicker than they had been in several years. I passed this tip to my sister and hers are looking better too. Now if only I could stop them from graying.

It's been several years, but there was a discussion here about Lumene around the time I was having trouble finding a replacement for bareMinerals.

I bought their BB cream and liked it, but then I discovered their CC cream and I've been using it ever since. At that time I wasn't using a facial moisturizer consistently because I hadn't found one that worked for me.

Tried Lumene's Glow Reveal and, like the CC cream, it's become a staple.
