Hi everyone! I've been poking around here for a while, and now I've decided to post to get a bit of a helping hand. I'm giving myself an extreme makeover and wanted to share it with you all. As you can tell from my spelling, I'm from the UK. My family are actually Spanish(I was born in England), but I'm quite dark for a "white" person!lol I've always been teased since I was a child, people used to call me the "gypsy kid". All my family are fair skinned. My brother and sister even have blue eyes. I was always the ugly duckling!

Firstly, I'm trying to lose 12kg, which I'm doing myself.

Secondly, I would like to get those eye implants (talking about this here because I felt its more to do with lightening than it is to do with vision) and also I read someone on here has already had it. (if you have, please pm me, I would love to know more.)

Finally, I want to succeed in my quest for lighter brighter skin.
I currently look this colour:

But I want to be this colour:

I know all about the different products available in terms of science because I'm a science student, but I'm not sure about them from a consumer point of view. Which would be the best thing to use to achieve the AMOUNT of lightening I desire. I'm very tempted to jump straight for the mono. HQ scares me, because I tried it a few years ago which I bought from India,and after using it for a week (I hated the smell), I stopped using it and a few months later, I noticed my forehead is quite pigmented now! Worse than before (bcos I stopped using the spf!)

Anyway, looking forward to this journey! :-)

Oh by the way, I've been looking @ buying mono from a chinese pharmacy in chengdu. 8oz of 100% mono for $300. Is this reasonable price? Xx

If your color is like rihanna's color in the pic then in my opinion your color is very beautiful but if you want to go lighter it's definitely your choice because maybe in person you may look darker than you may like.good luck in your skin lightening journey

I iwsh my skin was like riahanna. Hopefully fair and white soap and the bio cliare lotion helps

Yeah,rihannaa's color is very beautiful and I wouldn't mind being that color either.I hope I can reach that goal soon

I want Rihanna color that color is the a nice color. I think I would like to be her new color which is lighter. I am using bioclaire also with a soap to exfooiate. I hope I can get the results I want too. It'll be a week wed. I look lighter though already.
