It never did anything but make my hair super soft. And you can feel the difference in it with all the build up gone from your hair. The only problem I did have was that I have natural wave in my hair, and ithe soap releasing all the goop made my hair fluffier...lol...but it's easily tamed with water...then it sits purty

Tonight I am trying a face mask I read about. Avocado and olive oil. I have an avocado that is a LITTLE more ripe than I like to eat, so I figure rather than trash it, make a nice mask.It's supposed to be excellent for dry skin...

I know it's a super old school thing to do, but I still love giving my hair a henna treatement ever couple of months. My hair is dark auburn, so sometimes I will use one with a bit of a tint in it, but usually I just use a neutral. My hair, which it about 3 inches longer than shoulder length feels fantastic, root to tip.

Nice hair length, Fatale...the henna must make it feel...very soft, smooth, and shiny...so, does it...feel that way?

Quite like that, actually. Limbs lunar limned, ablutions obliviating...

You've heard right.

Bumping because I love make-up that's cheap!

My current facial powder to go over my liquid foundation is Elf in translucent, $3-5. I've tried many other loose powders to "set" my makeup but they often wear off and my skin feels and looks shiny in no time. Elf so far has done the best at feeling lightweight while still keeping my face feeling soft and not oily or sticky.
