    I use MAC NW40 (M·A·C Cosmetics | Studio Tech). And yes. I am so glad that I discovered fish oil. I swear doctors don't want us to find out about it. All of the things I have been using to fight acne. And my answer was in these 8 dollar pills I bought from the drug store. How ing annoying. You will not get acne. Like at all. I know it sounds unbelievable. But you just have to try it to see the results. And it makes your skin brighter. I'm in love with it. And yeah. I think I'm going to just lighten up on my regimen. Both golden and imsogorgeous are right. I see both of your points. And yes vicky it's the 55H+. I'm going home for the weekend. We'll see what my mother says when she sees me. Lol!

    I haven't used my cristaline in about a week. I have to get something strong for my arms. I'm starting to look weird.

    Thanks Brown. You have spoken much about the fish oil and I know it's good for the health, so this should also work great for my acne and I'll get some too. Can you tell me which brand you get?

    I get Nature's Bounty. I think there are a lot of other good brands too. So if you can't find this one don't panic. I just like this one because it's tested for mercury and says mercury free on the bottle to ensure that it is tested. What's important is that you find one that is mercury free and one that is rich in EPA and DHA

    I know! I can't wait either! She's already been saying that I'm chasing her skin color! (Getting close to it. But she's only joking. I'm not where near that light! That'd cause WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS). But what I really want is to figure out a way to get this shiny bronze color that Solange has here http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/events/ALO-009213.jpg I like my color. But I do find it's a tad bit dull. I want that shine. Maybe she's using a bronzer? I don't know.

    Mac has a misting/setting spray that gives you that healthy glow. I almost bought it. But it was kind of expensive.

    You'll forgive me if I have NO sympathy for you... but I'm just jealous, and I admit it.;)

    Thanks! I'll look into the misting spray! And don't be jealous. You can achieve my color if not lighter in no time. Everyone's hopping on the 55H+ bandwagon. I've only used the Christaline so far. But someone said that the lotion is lightening their body pretty quickly too. So I'll have to look into that next. Because I'm wearing long sleeves lately to hide the contrast in skin tones.

    And though it may sound good to be "too light" it's really a problem because lightening your skin is soooo frowned upon in our society. So to have that dramatic of a difference. And in such little time. I would raise quite a few eyebrows.

    I'm going to buy this stuff for sure, I just don't understand why it isn't more popular if it lightens so well and it moderately priced

    I think people tend to flock more toward what's really expensive and overrated... expecting dramatic results... I really didn't think this would work to be honest. It's glycerin for crying out loud!

    I know! Lol. But everyone's getting fast results. I need to try the lotion for my body. My arms and legs need to catch up to my face and neck.

    It's good that it's getting cooler outside so you can lighten the body and have it covered for a few months. So when spring and summer come along, your body will be much lighter. I have also tried understanding why it is not as well-known. I guess a combination of things, people do tend to flock to a skin products that are costly with the idea more cost equals a better product, which isn't always true. I was thinking maybe it is mainly popular in France or is a recent product with little exposure perhaps? Maybe not

    Just out of interest, does anyone know where it is manufactured. Not sure if it is labelled on your products.

    Let 'em raise them and then go and mind their own d**n business! I am so glad it's working for you! They probably want to know your secret anyway.
