The Beauty Thread

I have to wash Matilda, I was going to do it today, but cold and snowy. She loves bacon so the pig collagen would not be a problem.

On a colleague's recommendation, I bought a tube of this the other month -- she said it was better than Olaplex No. 3 as a hair treatment: https://elizavecca.us/elizavecca-milky-piggy-cer-100-collagen-ceramide-coating-protein-treatment/

 

She wasn't lying! My hair is silkier and shinier than ever, with almost NO frizz (yes!) and the effects last me through 3 or 4 washes so I usually only use a dollop twice a month. It's also more than half the price of Olaplex. Be aware that it has pig collagen in the ingredients list, in case that's a no go for you for religious/ethical/health reasons.

 

Oooh good tip thanks, I have super frizzy hair and usually use Olaplex, I'll give that a try.

I find Olaplex just takes too long and the results are usually disappointing. I have gotten something close to "glass" hair even with all the frizz with a combo of Dae Signature shampoo, Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water, Elizavecca treatment, and Oribe Gold Lust hair oil. Blow completely dry with my Dyson, and then finish with the Amika Polished Perfection straightening brush. Sounds complicated I'm sure to the menfolk but it really isn't!

I had never heard of red beam technology, what does it do?

[laylalex 7,293]

I actually have the old version of the Amika brush, which does not have the red beam tech. So I can't report first hand, sadly. The description says:

Quote

 

• ired beam technology speeds the heat in deeper to preserve moisture for instantly smooth hair–with less damage.
• the ion-generating projector streams millions of cuticle-sealing negative ions into hair with each pass. the smooth and shine stay in, the frizz stays away.

I am watching Interstellar at the moment, probably same sort of technology. I was going to watch Terminator...

1.  Sounds like one needs an advanced university degree

2.  Sounds like a furrin language

3.  Sounds yet again like it's really tough to be a chica

Makeup/hair is fun stuff about being a lady.  Experimenting with your appearance on a temporary basis, getting to play around with color and lines on your very own body is cool. Then you get to erase it and try on a new persona, just for a while. 

 

Other lady stuff isn't always fun, but I'll take beauty any day.

Sounds like temporary tattoos.

I have a Physics A Level and like to think I keep abreast of technological advances, Fission for example, but this is beyond me.

We ventured to the Big City and here is the pup paying homage at the place of Beauty worship.

Never saw your dog before -- a magnificent creature!

[laylalex 7,293]

She's gorgeous! 🥰 That's a creature that doesn't need any sunblock (unlike me).
