The Beauty Bash
Okay, Friday night was the night of my big beauty party, and we had a great, girly time. There were 7 of us in all. Here's a description of everyone who showed up:
Nelly: 32 years old, mother of three little girls. Complaints: spider veins. Wants: glowing skin. Obsessed with: her nails. Testing: Strivectin Stretch mark cream, Lumedia Facial Brightener, Sexy Hair Concepts Pumpkin Potion Leave in Conditioner with Ginger Root.
Nancy: 30 years old. Artist, eyebrow expert. Nancy did henna tattoos on us, and her artistry was amazing. Complaints: Problem skin, getting rid of hair, hyperpigmentation. Testing: MD Skincare Alpha Beta Peel, Sexy Hair Concepts Pumpkin Potion Leave in Conditioner with Ginger Root, Japonesque slant tip tweezers, Blue No. 26 Luminescence Anti-Spot Creme.
Anne: 27 years old. Struggles with finding ways to care for her skin while maintaining her low maintenance approach. Complaints: varicose veins. Testing: Purist Naturals facial scrub and gingko cream.
Jenn I.: 32 years old. Sensitive fair skin. Shoulder-length straight hair. Testing: Sexy Hair Concepts Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner, Youngblood Lip Gloss in Brilliance, Maria B. Lip Paint in Disco, Healthy Sexy Hair Pumpkin Whipped Souffle, Luscious Nail Polish in Zuma, Dr. Hauschka skincare kit for normal/dry/sensitive skin
Jenn H: 29. Fair, freckled skin and reddish-brown hair. Testing: Lumedia Facial Brightener,

Kari: 41. Fair skin and dark hair. Micropigmentation specialist. Beauty concerns: Wrinkles. Testing: Strivectin-HS Hydro Thermal Deep Wrinkle Serum.
When we weren't testing products or submitting to Nancy's artistry, we just hung out and ate and talked beauty. Here are the issues the partiers brought up:
Laser hair removal: Two attendees, Nancy and Kari, have already had laser hair removal treatments, and both are big fans. We threw tons of questions at them.
Nails: How to treat problem (weak) nails, and how to address nail polish allergies.
Glowing skin: What ingredients to look for in a face or body product to guarantee glowing skin.
Daily self-tanning moisturizers: How to avoid the telltale odor.
Melasma: Caused by pregnancy or the birth control pill, it's a brownish mask that can make the complexion appear muddy. Short of changing your birth control, is there anything you can do about it.
I will address each of these problems individually and in detail this week, so check back daily!
