(Part 3) Top products from r/BeautyGuruChatter

I’ve had my industrial for almost 10 years now and it hurt for the first few. Honestly couldn’t sleep on that side for 2 years.

HIGHLY recommend H2Ocean Spray. Game changer for me back then! I was very very concerned about scar tissue/keloids after my friend experienced that.

I use to sit with my ear in glass Tupperware to soak it like 10 min twice a day but this spray is awesome. And amazon still shows that I last purchased this in 2010. I think you can also find it at hot topic.

Good luck!!!

Natural Vitality Natural Calm Magnesium Anti Stress, Original, 16 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OQ2DL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-Yc6BbD9XSW3J

Seriously, it is an absolute lifesaver for constipation, and works as a gentle muscle relaxant and sleep aid as well. It’s amazing. I got it because it was recommended to me for pain from TMJ disorder, but I use it more frequently for constipation than anything else! I take medication that causes chronic constipation, so this is a lifesaver. Mix two teaspoons in a bit of warm water, then add as much cold water or other drink as you want (it has just a mild acidic effervescent taste, kinda like club soda but much more mild- you can also get flavored versions but I prefer unflavored). Do this before bed and you should wake up ready to go!

(Rarely it will take two doses to get things moving, if things are really backed up- sometimes I’ll double the dose at once if I know it’s kinda severe but if it’s your first time just start with two teaspoons and see how you feel. If it’s been more than 8-10 hours you may want to take another dose, either right then or that next evening).

You can also find it at GNC and some drug stores, but I’ve found it cheapest at Wegmans. It’s in their vitamin section.

Art major here, fixative is a really good idea!

That fixative you linked is resin based, and the shadow would still be a little workable/moveable under that fixative. An acrylic-based fixative spray would work better as a final sealant as it would create an almost plastic-like protective finish on the page: https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-K01303A-Crystal-Acrylic-Coating/dp/B001K65K26 is one example.

No matter what fixative you're using, it's important to do a patch test first because fixatives can darken/alter the color of certain mediums. It's also important to work in light layers in a very well ventilated area!

Kiss me heroine liquid eyeliner! It's a japanese brand that make super water-proof mascara. I went through probably 10 of those eyeliners. It's my holy-grail eyeliner. It's about 14$ on Amazon

Yay! I feel like I have to specify lash-type anytime mascara comes up because it's so very dependent on length, thickness, etc. Mascara reviews are pretty useless to me if they don't include that... As for lash curler, I've been using this Tweezerman LTD Deluxe Metal Eyelash Curler (https://www.amazon.com/Tweezerman-Deluxe-Metal-Eyelash-Curler/dp/B007SA3CD2/ref=pd_sbs_194_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B007SA3CD2&pd_rd_r=CGN068Y8TX7JYFR5WM77&pd_rd_w=WXlXW&pd_rd_wg=MP6uV&psc=1&refRID=CGN068Y8TX7JYFR5WM77) for a while (~9 months) and while I like it, there's probably something better for me out there that I just haven't found/ wanted to spend on. I have quite large, round, slightly downturned and slightly hooded eyes so it takes some maneuvering to get my inner/outer corner lashes (and I almost never get both) :( I've tried the shu uemura curler and didn't feel it was worth the hype or $$

what about you?? I'm down to try a new one. I hate when my lashes come out with more of a dent/fold/crease than a real curl, if that makes sense. and what are some other mascaras that have worked for you?

I really like this one from Amara Organics that someone on SCA recommended to me. I’ve been using it for a year or so now. It absorbs super quick, and doesn’t feel greasy or gritty. Pretty cheap too.

This is the idea behind a lot of infomercial products/as seen on tv items. Usually, the inventor was trying to solve a specific problem--like The Magic Tap helps people with disabilities or conditions that don't allow them to lift something like a gallon of milk--but they have to market to a wider audience to turn a profit. A lot of people make fun of as seen on tv stuff (myself included) but typically it only seems silly or unnecessary because it wasn't actually created for able-bodied people.

I do shave in the shower. I've found that wrapping a single rubber band around the handle helped me get a better grip. Mine has a very smooth metal handle and I think it would slip and cut me without the rubber band. Are you using any kind of pressure? Also, I'm no expert, but I've read that shaving creams have different 'cushion' that protects you when shaving.

Maybe you could try something like this?

Cutting higher cheekbones isn't popular in Asia, at least East and SEA, because high cheekbones is a sign of age in those cultures.

Nose contouring is popular enough that in Japan you will see products marketed specifically for that purpose and that purpose only. It is very popular amongst the urban youth. Examples: Canmake, Daiso, Cezanne.

You are going to either love it or be very sorry https://www.amazon.com/Satans-Blood-Chile-Extract-Sauce/dp/B007P643GE

Sorry, but using pounce to mean applying product with a sponge is actually valid. Even Martha Stewart agrees: https://www.amazon.com/Martha-Stewart-Crafts-Foam-Pouncer/dp/B007C7XPME/

You can legit use these kind of microfiber towels. Without water. I normally use an oil cleanser but in a pinch they will do, I have them for wiping off my makeup brushes between full washes.

I had the Benefit Kitten Classic Body Powder Puff back in the day. I bet I can find it somewhere deep in the caves of my parents' house.

Not being approved by the FDA doesn't really mean much, you can look at the back of pretty much anything in the supplements aisle and it'll have a little note saying "these statements have not been approved by the food and drug administration"

edit: here's an example of a major brand all grocery stores carry with the same warning label, 2nd image

Not OP but I bought [this](Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara, Black Organics, 0.26 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ID39I0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6osYzbPD567EC.) variation of the Physicians Formula leaf mascara and it was awful! Only good thing is that it doesn't irritate my sensitive, watery eyes but aside from that it smudges horribly, flakes everywhere, and gradually weighs down my lashes throughout the day (can't hold a curl at all).

My hyperhidrosis was probably at it's worst in middle school, (I used to sweat through thick JACKETS on my armpits) I'm almost 25 now and I feel like I've tried everything under the sun. Personally the only thing that worked for me was the prescription Drysol, and funny enough I still have the same bottle since middle school. It started getting dangerously low recently so I sought an OTC alternative. After trying a bunch of failures I eventually found Driclor which seems to works just as well.


I just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone was wondering because Jackie said she had never tried them and couldn't vouch for them.

Idk how many of you all watch Hot Ones on YouTube, but I just ate some of Da Bomb Beyond Insanity, and holy shit that was rough. The taste is very bitter and goes away quickly, leaving nothing in your mouth but straight heat that gets worse and worse as time goes on. When I first ate it, it wasn't so bad but THAT SHIT'S DECEIVING. I cried for a full 10 minutes, and the pain didn't go away until 20 minutes. I was physically shaking all over (hands, arms, legs), I have the chills now, I hear a ringing in my ears, and some mild heart burn.

I understand why so many guests have a tough time with Da Bomb, and I have mad respect for Sean Evans being able to talk through that.
