It's gotten a lot easier to find makeup fit for darker skin tones though. When I first started wearing makeup, in middle school, I could only buy it at K-Mart, and I could only get Covergirl products. I know that partly has to do with where I live, but that just gives you an idea of what was available. And that wasn't too too long ago as I'm only 22...and now, for the first time ever, Almay has a shade darker than "medium". They have never had that before!

That's super not fair! I don't need a dark shade cuz I'm light/medium, but I still think there should be more variety for darker skin tones :S

I agree, I think we need a larger variety of shades. I am a latina and I have wanted to try a a bb cream for a long time and just haven't found one that matches my skin tone. Im an nc44 in Mac.

Thanks! Might have to go today. Is there a limit?

Thoserazors are my favorite and I didn't make it into the campaign if anyone has any extra coupons they won't be using I would be super grateful for one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[DiorAdora]

I have done it 5 different times in different transaction so there isint a number limit on transactions but I'm not sure if you use two in one transaction if it will print two rewards back for each razor if anyone knows let me know!

Received the Garnier dry oil yesterday... My hair was wet when I got the mail but I unfortunately already applied my usual oil after my shower. I did spritz a tiny bit onto the ends though just to try out the smell and consistency, but I can't quite say anything about it yet. I think its awkward that it's a multi-use product (face, hair, body) and it comes in a spray bottle instead of a pump.

 

[hiheather]

I got the dry oil today as well and the smell is off putting to me. I like fruity smells in my hair and this smells like a fried egg to me. I did spritz it on my dry hair for zero shine. It claims to absorb fast into skin... so I thought okay I'll spritz my nails since I have impossibly dry cuticle areas. 30 minutes later its still super greasy. So far I do not like this stuff.

No, at Walgreens you can only do one at a time. If you do two razors in 1 transaction, you will only receive 1 reward back.

I would love a BB cream too, especially if they actually have one that's dark enough! (BB creams in general are not African American skin tone friendly)...I don 't even have particularly dark skin, and in the Maybelline stuff, I use "deep" which is the darkest shade available...

try the iman one for $20. her makeup is catered to women of color

Maybe after my "starving student" days...I've never spent that much on one makeup item. Heck, that's more than I usually even pay for jeans, and about the most I'll ever pay for shoes!

I hear you on that one. It's the only bbs cream I know of for women of color.

 

[jesemiaud]

Went to Walmart to get my haircolor and realized when I was at the gas station that the girl never took off my coupons ($13 total since I was using one of the glade ones too). So back to Walmart I went. Sigh... I keep telling myself that I am never going back. It's always something. Oh well...excited to try my new color tomorrow.

I actually really like the Maybelline one...and it's cheap!

ok guys for the skin survey im guessing its the revlons bb cream??? thats the only one thats brand 'new' that they might want to get out there but then again it could be one of the most recent bb creams
I'd love if it was a bb cream, although right now I'm LOVING rimmel's bb cream. It's inexpensive but surprisingly so good.


I am kind of a BB cream snob, but your post stuck for some reason. While grocery shopping the other day I picked up a $6 tube of the Rimmel BB in light (one of only 3 shades they had). It has SPF and makes some BB-like claims so I figured it was worth the $6 risk.

I have it on today. Not sure yet how well it wears, but holy coverage!! For me so far it is better than Missha...less dry looking and the color match is so much better. It's dead on and looks great! So if this wears well, I will hang on to the pricier Dr. Jart Premium for the dewier look, but this stuff is definitely a contender (the first drugstore BB I could ever even tolerate). One of the best covering BBs I have tried (and the least expensive other than the Maybelline which was terrible for me). Thank you for the great tip!

Agreed

Ok Question! I'm not really a couponer but there are $4 coupons for Schick in the inserts this week.Can I use that AND the $5 off from bzz?! At CVS, you also get $4 extrabucks.

 

[Bernadette]

You should be able to use two different types of coupons for different amounts, depending on the store policy. It all depends on the store policy. Some will let you, some won't. Also, you have to read the coupon. Some say one coupon per purchase, some say limit of four like coupons per item. It can be very tricky. Depends on the cashier too, LOL. Sorry, I am not too helpful!
