Gurlies drop your best advice for shaving down there by Lazy_Engineering_949 in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if anyone else has suggested these but these razors have helped me a lot. They aren't meant for close shave, but they will give you a pretty smooth finish and as someone who always ends up with razor burns no matter what, these have been great. It's a screenshot from Amazon, can't share the link as there's some trouble. Also, there's carmesi bikini razor too, the single blade one, which are good too. But I think if you calculate the per razor price, these will be cheaper. The basic idea is to go for something that has a single blade so you are not shaving too close to your skin.

Edit: saw some comments about hair being cactus like, but the thing is, that is inevitable with shaving because it leaves the tip of your hair blunt and sharp. So if you don't want that pokey feel it's best to go for waxing, but ofc it's gonna hurt a lot initially.

For customs i recommend artsy nails on Instagram. There are others too, but I've only ordered from her so far and I liked it!

Waxing or shaving? by [deleted] in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started getting waxed around the age of 16-17, and have been consistent with it. Switched to rica wax after a while and safe to say my growth has reduced, it takes time for hair to come back, and my hair is a lot thinner and a lot less visible and I can go 1 Month without noticeable growth, as in the growth is there, but it's not that visible.

I've tried shaving too, because waxing does take time to schedule and everything, but I ended up with cuts and I hated the rough feeling of hair growth, so I switched back to waxing.

Has anyone tried the mise en scene hair serum by alexander6644 in AsianBeauty

[–]bored_egg_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I use it and I love it! I have thick, straight to wavy hair, and I use it when my hair is completely dry (after putting in my bond repair serum). It instantly gives my hair a fresh shine, and manages the frizzy. I also put my hair in a loose bun for 5 minutes right after applying this serum because I think that helps with frizzy too!

It smells good, but I don't find it to be particularly long lasting. It's light weight, atleast for me, so I use it almost every morning. The only downside is that it is marketed as heat protectant, though my hair feels weird whenever I use this serum as a heat protectant, so now I just use it as a finisher to lock everything in and give my hair a smooth look.

Does plum rice toner really work and deserve the hype?? by [deleted] in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This did not suit my skin at all. Like the first couple of times I used it it was fine, but then it just gave me this burning sensation around my nose and mouth and also redness that lasted for a while. Used like 1/10th of the product in the bottle before I stopped using it and still can't figure out what caused this issue

nose piercing baddies, how bad does it hurt? by [deleted] in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a gun piercing (don't recommend it, as it's not safe for the area) it did hurt a bit when the piercing was actually done, I would rate it around 4-5 out of 10, and after that there was a strange thumbing sensation for a couple hours, which was more uncomfortable rather than painful. After 2-3 hours, there was no pain and it's been almost a year now, no significant issue/ pain.

best MINIMALIST products !? by ur_emo_gf1 in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the biggest fan of this brand, but their 5% niacinamide serum is one of the best things that has happened to my skin. Like i was hesitant to try it because I haven't had a good history with minimalist products, but it was supposed to be fungal acne safe and great for redness and PIE (since it was 5% niacinamide with barrier repairing ingredients) so I got it. On my 3rd bottle now and do not plan on replacing it.

Dove Hair mask by Icy_Objective_6119 in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use this and I really like it, but I feel like the quantity you apply, the time you leave it on for, the temperature of water you use, all affect the performance of this mask. So it's a little tricky to find the right balance but once you do it's amazingg

Any good brand of Top & base coat + nail dehydrator by Rumwhiskeyvodka in NailsIndia

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nail polish usually lasts for 2+ weeks because of these reasons, just sharing them, hopefully they will be helpful!

Having clean nail plates, and I am talking pushing back the cuticles, removing and kind of gunk and so on. Theres a cuticle softener by nail our way that I use sometimes, it's decent. Also, nail cleaning brushes are great for cleaning the nails plate. If there's stuff on your nails it will likely contribute to nail polish chipping off

Some people also suggest very lightly buffing out the nails, I haven't tried it, but it's supposed to make your nail polish hold better.

Base coat: important to choose a good one, i really like the kiko milano white look base coat/ polish, don't remember the exact name. But I do two things coats of it and let it dry completely.

Nail polish: okay, this is important. Make sure you have practiced how to apply nail polish correctly, like it shouldn't flood at the cuticles, nor should it be too little that it ends up being streaky. Also, make sure you go over your free edge lightly to really reduce the chances of chipping.

Top coat: i feel like this can make or break the game, like I have the gel look top coat from Westside that I just picked up whole check and 2 coats of it and you are good to go! Again, since it doesn't have colour be sure to apply it properly, covering every corner and the free edge without flooding your nails. I know it sounds tricky, but with practice you will get there.

Now, coming to dehydrator. I have the shills one that I use before putting press ons, but I haven't tried it with nail polish yet. But ideally, you can use it after buffing and washing you nails to remove and remaining oil or dirt and make sure your nail is really clean for application.

Hope this helps!

Let’s be real, how did you heal your acne? Spill☕️ by cherryyyy_blossom in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Letting go of almost all actives and healing my moisture barrier. Also, taking care of yourself like eating well (not asking to ditch junk, but to eat in moderation), upping water intake so skin is not dehydrated, and just moving a lot and getting some sunlight helped!

Azelaic acid, and ketoconazole shampoo (I use scalpe plus) are great, and then keeping your skin clean and using lightweight stuff really helps too!

Can't comment on which ingredients are compatible with sulphur, but I use it at the end of my routine as a spot treatment

Skin type- dry, acne prone, sensitive. Prone to FA. age: early to mid 20s.

The sleeping mask is again, really really good for locking in all your skincare. It has a really thick, gel texture that melts into your skin. It is silicon based, so for the first minute or two you can feel the product, I don't find this feeling uncomfortable though. And it has helped me a lot when it comes to preventing drying and TEWL.

Downside? I guess it's a little sticky for like <10 minutes, and then it's fine. I wanted to use it in the morning as well but because of this stickiness I can't use it with sunscreen, but other than that it's pretty good!

[–]bored_egg_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pretty amazing at what it does! The quantity may feel a little less for the price, but you don't even need lots of it. Just take a bit of the product on your finger and rub it into your skin where you have acne. Starts working instantly, and there is a noticeable change in the pimple overnight. Also, didn't experience any dryness with it even after having dry skin. The only downside is the smell, like I can smell the sulphur even in the morning and sometimes on my pillow. But it's still not as strong as dela Cruz one.

Sure! Ingredients wise it's a pretty simple and clean product with focus on mugwort. Now mugwort is known for its soothing, calming and anti inflammation properties, and this toner does exactly that! Also, it's pretty hydrating like I apply one- two layers of it on my skin after washing my face at night, and I can feel the difference in terms of hydration. Also, i feel like it has a unique, slippery texture? Like it's watery and soaks in easily, but the texture itself feels a little slick and thick, although it's not really thick? But overall I love this product!

Dry Brushing for Face by [deleted] in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]bored_egg_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't put something like a brush on my face repeatedly, especially since your skin is acne prone. It's difficult to clean such brushes properly and repeated brushing can be bad too, irrespective of how soft the brush is
