Makeup, skin, and hair -- the good, the bad, the ugly

[stillmovingforward]

Nope. Maybe shorten it a bit but that's it. But I wear almost a crew cut on my head too

I got laser hair removal there years ago. I trim up the rest regularly, but only shave a tiny bit around the edges if I have to for a swimsuit. That's the spot I've always gotten in-grown hairs.

Do you guys really not remove hair from the nether regions? Like at all?

I use to. For the last few years though, I’ve just kept it trimmed.

[buystoys]

I can't bend enough to trim neatly.  Last time I tried, I almost bled to death from cutting myself rather than hair.  So I am completely au natural these days.

As I've gotten older, not as much hair there. Never trimmed it, not something folks my age did far as I know. Yes, I do shave my pits and legs.

I remember being shaved before having a baby, growing back it hurt.

[finnime]

I did shave as a much younger woman, and then kept the edges shaved which led to ingrown hairs. Then I got swim skirts, trimmed, and didn't worry about it. I'm surprised to note as I've gotten older there is much less hair to contend with, and I don't care about removing any of it.

I distinctly remember discovering, at 10, that I was growing pubic hair, and being jolted. I'd had some minimal information about menstruation, too late, but no one mentioned hair.

I trim and got dd13 a trimmer and gave her a little instruction. I didn't know that was a thing until the college dorms, and I remember being worried about stray hairs showing from my suit bottom. Plus makes it so much easier to clean up during cycles.

These days I wear swim trunks. Mostly men's because they are a third the price, and I can find styles that I like. Lots of variation in length so mid thigh is what I go for. So comfy and I never worry about what my behind looks like. And they dry so fast since I usually get out of the pool long before the kids. I've done women's swim shorts for several years so it took several weeks for dd13 to figure out they were men's. She busted me when she was putting away laundry and noticed the inside lining was like dads lol. She did say it was fine and I didn't stick out. Not sure I care if I did anyway. Finding I'm way less self conscious in my 40s.

Mask day!

Trimmed very short, but not hairless. Tried it years ago, but could not get used to the feel of it.

I've started getting Brazilian waxes again.  The new place I go to doesn't put baby oil on you after the waxing because they say it causes ingrown hairs.  They seem to be correct about this.  I used to get them all the time and I haven't had a single one from the new place.  I'm considering laser removal on my arm pits and bikini line.  My underarms are always shaved unless I am dead stick.  I have really coarse and thick hair.  I would consider waxing, but I am sure I would bleed.  My leg hair is pretty light colored though so unfortunately I don't think I am a good candidate for it on my legs.

They are online now and showing as available at my local store. I must have. I swore I was not going for diamond status. I am waiting on the mail to bring the new catalog.

I just saw that on my app . I too am trying to resist but they are so cute .

Sephora is having a Labor Day sale. I got an Hourglass foundation ($56) and a backup of my Fenty foundation ($36) for $52. Yay!

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

Got my hair cut yesterday. I'd been growing it out for a long time; my hair stylist was pretty sure it'd been at least two years since she actually cut it--as opposed to just trimming it. 

[countrygirl2]

I've been growing mine out, its below my shoulders, hubs doesn't like it. I wear a pony tail or clip it up sometimes. He likes it better that way. I'm waiting till it gets longer so I can do it up in a bun or something. One day will likely go back to a bob. But enjoying it for now, likely the last time I will let it get long. It hasn't been for 30 years at least.

Also got it touched up last week, I like the salon manager at Ulta in the city. Her dye jobs are great, I let it go to long this time. She has it highlighted so it looks like natural sun has lightened some of it. Also DD is going there for haircuts, we will once a month. $75 for my touch up and $50 for her cut, worth every penny of it. I need to get her to do something with my brows, hardly anything there and one way arched while the other isn't. Sometimes I have a terrible time making them look right, not sure what they can do, don't want them tattooed.

Monday a massage for both of us again. We do have some pampering.

Also bought a bottle of Beautiful by Estee Lauder, I really like that fragrance. It's now $100 a bottle, just keeps increasing in price.

I used to have a variety of those fragrances not so much anymore, just to expensive, just a couple.

[andi9899]

I'm growing my hair out. Right now it's between where my bra hooks and my waist. I'll probably let it at least go down to my waist. I don't know if it will get longer than that.

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

Mine was down to waist. I do prefer it long, but the bottom six inches was just so damaged. 

[crazycat]

I got mine cut about a month ago . I usually keep it about shoulder length or a bit longer . It was past my waist . She cut off like 2 feet of hair . Feels great .

I’m torn between cutting my hair back off and continuing to let it grow. It’s taking forever to get out of the ugly stage.

I’ve been cutting my hair short and letting it grow back when I got tired of the style, since I was a teenager. But my hair was relaxed and straight all those times. Growing it out with my natural hair is a totally different animal. If I straightened it now, it would be just past my shoulders. But my tight curls shrink so much it doesn’t even cover my ears. Or my hairline in the back. I’m starting to get frustrated and lose patience because it has no shape or style, it’s just there. I like for my hair to look nice and have a style. Right now it’s just ugly. And I don’t like it.

I got mine cut yesterday. It was already short but just growing out enough to look stupid under the hair nets we have to wear at the biscuit store.

Yanno what I hate? Really hate? I hate the Women's-Hair-Should-Look-Like-It-Needs-To-Be-Combed look. I see it on a couple of the news people on CNN, and it drives me right around the bend. DGD does this. The untidy look isn't the least bit attractive. Remember the underwear-as-outerwear trend from 25-30 years ago?

If I had known what pregnancy does to your butt I would have flaunted my thong way more.

So my kid's middle school for homecoming week has been doing "Dress the decade" and apparently went back pretty far.

DH comments "Who the heck has clothes from the 30's, 40's, and 50's?"

:::Raises hand::  I have a lot of vintage items.  

"Okay who besides your mother?"

Me too! I have vintage pieces too.

If you ever get yourself to KC, we're going to my fave vintage store. I could spend all day there!

I just got these in the mail and I think these may be my favorite lash so far. I can't wait to try them!
