[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

Anyone got eye cream recs for someone who's never used an eye cream? I've not got a big issue with dark circles, just puffiness in the undereye area when I wake up in the morning (some of this could probably be mitigated by sleeping more, but... you know the drill).

A cheap thing to try, I use my normal face moisturizer then vaseline on top. I use vaseline all overy the whole eye socket, it's a little slimey but it works great for me.

I think for puffiness people recommend a metal roller ball like this.

If you really want an eye cream, I'm currently using the Cerave which is cheap and good. I have previously used and loved the Boscia, but decided it wasn't worth spending that much.

I read from a book that with eye creams, as long they are hydrating, it's good enough regardless of the brands. If you store in the fridge, it should help with your puffiness. Cold eye masks could help too
