Hey people I'm nikki I'm finally a member but I've been lurking for like 2 years, so I'm about to take the mono plunge and I'm going to update my progress. Here's my skin tone now and I'm an NC45 in mac makeup and I'm black, african american however you want to say it. Does anybody have any good mixing receipes I'm getting exactly 2.2 lbs and I was going to mix it with shea butter because it'st think and really hydrating but nobody uses it on ne boards really.

Haaa nope not my real hair at all I wish it was too and yeah this is my starting complexion I haven't used ne lighteners yet. I just got diana stalder and its only been 3 days it brightens at first but later on in the day your complexion goes right back to before you washed and applied that lotion. PLUSSS the small quanity you get by the time it lightens I could have got mono two times over.

OHHHH please tell me how to edit my previous post and I'll love you guess forever that pic is wayy to big like I'm putting a bullseye out there for the world or something lol. Yup I'll keep you updated and Reddiamond your in brighterskin group I talked to you before on email how's your lightening going?

OMG... girl is that you? It's so funny because I was looking at your picture thinking," hmmm, I seen her somewhere before". I just couldn't put my finger on it but know I remember perfectly!I been stopped with mono because it was just not working for me. I got lighter, then darker, peeled, and this cycle repeated. One day, my skin was really dry and craking. I thought OK this is not what I expected and I gave it up. Initiually, I got REALLY light like rihanna's color on my face oppose to my ashanti like complexion. I am now using 20% hq and its been a week and its working great. I use it in conjunction with retin-a .1% and its is some great stuff. I'm a least 1 shades lighter in a week.. no joke! I am thinking about using like 10& mono and hq to get the job done but I have some left over mono from before so ill start with that. From the time we talked, what happened? Did you stop lightening or found another product?

I assume the mono is from the same place I told you about? If not, can I know where you got it from? You can email me or pm me if you like?

Yep I think you do look indian to me especially with the hair, the 20% hq has been working really well for me but the thing is that it really peels a lot, like the skin is literally dropping off, I LOVE IT because the new skin looks so bright, I'm also using it with accutaine the acne drug so its helping to further improve my skin's appearance

Need I am black so I guess we have a certain stereotype towards other races, please don't be offended I guess its because of our racial ignorance. Like most blacks think chinese, Japanese, korean etc all look alike. So we tend to group indian, sri lanans etc in the same gerneral group.

Didn't mean 2 offend u

Yeah OK I pretty much thought people in the general region have the same features and skin tone. I had to go Google sri lankan because I had no clue and I do see the difference. We will see about this mono. The diana stalder burns like somebody set me on fire and it doesn't look like it really working or peeling my skin just gets dry. We'll see I'll use this until next month when I get the mono.
