    Allergies to beauty products

    Of course! I didn't even think to give the product details to the manufacturer! I thought about the MSDS but most just state to stop using and seek medical advice anyway.

    Allergies to beauty products

    Yeah that's what I thought. I wasn't to know that she would react when I sold it to her. Not sure if recommending a new product would be smart either.. as it could be something in all of them that is giving her the reaction?

    Chlorine and IBD Gel Polish

    Hi! I've had a potential client contact me about getting gel polished nails but she works as a swimming instructor in chlorine majority of the day. I'm wondering if the chlorine will affect the wearing time of the gel polish. Has anyone had a client that swims often in chlorinated water? TIA. Xx

    Why are things so hard to get in Oz?

    Hmm! I'm the same! I try and order most things from outside of Oz where it's cheaper, but most people don't ship down under. Are there any distributors on here that would be able to send items to Oz?

    MAC foundation help

    I have been using MAC Studio fix fluid daily for the past 2 years. It's great, but thinking of trying the studio fix powder. Is there going to be much of a difference? When the weathers really humid here in Australia, I feel sticky with fluid, so hoping the powder will give the same great...

    Tan

    I was thinking of doing 'Tan-tilizing Tuesdays' as Tuesdays are my slow days.. Not sure what deal I would do though? Probably 2 tans for $30? Or $15 tans, as I charge $20/tan normally. Love 'fake tan Friday' though! :p
