| Skin Help and Make up Tips! |
[11 Dec 2009|01:09am] |
1) My skin is always red and blotchy, incredibly flaky dry, and I also have some acne. Any suggestions on products that can cover the redness or help treat it?
2) This sounds odd but, any tips on how to make your nose appear smaller? lol I am so self conscious of my big nose. Thanks :)

| Hair toner |
[10 Dec 2009|07:52pm] |
So, I've been bleaching my hair for years, and I'm finally getting around to trying a toner. I mostly just want to remove the brassy tones that stick around the roots.
Only problem is that the toner came with little to no directions. I know to mix it with a low volume developer, and most info online says to apply it "after beaching." My question: how soon after bleaching? When it's still wet from rinsing, a day, lifespan of the average housefly?
Also, a friend in cosmetology school told me that toners are demi colors, so if it turns my hair a weird color, I can shampoo like crazy to wash it out. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Thanks to all the lovely ladies that helped me with locationg Coconut Oil, I just picked some up at Walmart. Now, how do I use it? I'm interested in using it in my hair, and using it as a body moisturizer. I'm to affraid to use it on my face.

| VS fragrances and Sweaters/Dresses |
[10 Dec 2009|06:10pm] |
Does anyone happen to know if the "Giftable" size VS fragrances are sold in stores? The closest one is a town away and I hate to get a ride down there if they don't sell them. I'm looking to try out Noir, but haven't wanted to drop $40 on a huge bottle.
I've been looking for better winter wear and I'm not wowed by most of the sweaters I've found. What are some good online stores with cute sweaters or long sleeved dresses?

| Pale assness |
[10 Dec 2009|11:22pm] |
I am SUPER pale and I'm kinda sick of looking like a ghost!
Now, I'm not a noob to makeup by any stretch of the imagination BUT I've never really used bronzers or powders before. Now I want more colour to my skin apart from blush and I'm pretty much stuck on what to do. . .
I've started using Benefit's 10 bronzer side in the hallows of my cheeks (is that even the right placement?!) and someone asked if I'd lost weight so BIG plus! I should also add here that I have a round face heh and would LOVE to know how to contour as well.
I was looking at:
Victoria’s Secret Exotic Jewels Luminous Face Powder Gems
&
Guerlain Meteorites Perles Impériales
Now, from what I understand you just sweep these over the face right? Has anyone used these products or anything similiar?
I really want colour and a glow without looking dirty and to make my face a little more contoured. I'm just at a loss of how to go about this and would love any input!
I'm an NC25 in MAC foundation if that helps.
Thanks :)

| Sunscreen causing pimples |
[11 Dec 2009|07:49am] |
Hello
I suspect that my sunscreen is causing my skin to breakout. For a few days this week I only had to go out in the afternoon as the sun was setting, so I didn't wear my sunscreen - just my mineral powder makeup. I noticed during those three days that my skin became really smooth and no new pimples popped up. Yesterday I had a full day so I put on my sunscreen, and by the end of the day I had a nice big new irritated cluster of pimples on my cheek.
I NEED to wear sunscreen everyday because I am very freckly/moley and more prone to burning, as well as at a high risk of skin cancer. But I'm desperately trying to get rid of all my acne scars and I can't do that while I keep getting new ones. I'm going to try going out without sunscreen for the next few days, just to see if it really is the cause of my pimples (and staying deep in the shade, of course). However, if it really is the cause, what can I do? I'm currently using this Mentholatum sunscreen. Should I keep trying other sunscreens? But aren't the base ingredients all the same and will still break me out? I like this one because its got a light, milky texture and when it settles into my skin I can't feel it at all. Can anyone suggest other suncreens that are similar?
Help!... any advice would be great.

| I'm in the market for a new concealer. |
[10 Dec 2009|01:21pm] |
Nothing has ever really caught my fancy too much as far as concealer goes. As it would be, I'm in the market and curious what you lovely ladies and gents would recommend for me as far as what I'm looking for.
Let me start with that I'm pale. By pale, I mean excessively pale. I have a melanin deficiency which leads me to be pale year round and incapable of tanning. Let's just say I buy the white Face Atelier foundation and add their palest foundation to that to create my perfect shade.
I don't break out much, so I'm mainly looking for something for under my eyes and around the edges of my nose where foundation tends to rub off. So, something long lasting would be excellent. And fragrance free, if it's not too much to ask. I don't use mineral make up, bismuth oxychloride wrecks havoc on my skin -- so only liquid-y and creamy consistency concealers, please!
What are you favorite brands of concealer? I am willing to order online! (Hey, I live in Iowa, where do you think I do most of my shopping?)

| Day Time Moisturizer for Sensitive Acne-Prone Skin/Mineral Makeup |
[10 Dec 2009|02:17pm] |
I've been using a sample of MDSkincare's Hydra Pure Oil-Free moisturizer I got at Sephora, which I love, but it's $77. I'm looking for a cheaper alternative ($50 or less) that is lightweight but really does moisturize, absorbs quickly, and is calming/gentle with no irritants or oils. The MD Skincare has aloe vera juice in it, which I've found to be very soothing. It would be great if I could find something similar. At night I've been using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. It does the job very well but is too greasy for daytime wear.
I used Everyday Minerals foundation a few years ago but stopped after it broke me out. I'm currently using Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet. I love the coverage, but I'm curious about switching back to a mineral foundation to see whether it will help with my mild cystic acne. I figure the less ingredients that are in my makeup, the better. Can someone recommend a non-irritating mineral makeup that has medium to heavy coverage and will stay in place most of the day? Thank you guys!

So I've had a series of bad haircuts. Grew it out long and put some layers into it, which inturn became a emo-cut catastrophe... now my hair is to my shoulders and my bang area is even further messed up... ugh. its a mess. anyway, i've heard rumors about gelatin and pre-natal vitamins helping your hair grow? I want to know FOR SURE what will improve hair growth dramatically (if it's possible) and where I can get these products.
Thanks so much <3

What are some universal tips to keep hair looking amazing?
Also, does anybody have any experience with giving up dairy and seeing a change in your skin? Or does anybody have any good resources for dairy's connection to skin?
I am nearing the end of toner and I was not pleased with it. I'm in the market for a new toner that won't be too harsh. My skin's not very sensitive, basic combination. I'm particularly interested in witch hazel and I'd love it if you could tell me everything you know about it!

| Earmuffs and scarf! |
[09 Dec 2009|09:04pm] |
I'm kind of in love with the look of burberry earmuffs and a matching scarf but I'm kind of poor as shit, so I was wondering if anyone has seen anything thats like that style but cheaper? Hopefully a lot cheaper but anything under like seventy bills would be great.
Thanks!

| foundation question... |
[09 Dec 2009|06:59pm] |
i have large pores and combo skin, whats the best foundation for minimizing pores? i know nothing is going to actually make them shrink but is there anything that would hide them better? also with combo skin is it better to use mineral foundation or liquid? and how do mineral concealers work? and what does the "mineral veils" do exactly? and do you know any tutorials for mineral makeup? i have never really used it until recently but im trying to use more natural products, but i think i may be doing it wrong.
and one last question, i have the alima founation samples and its really annoying to try to get the brush in that little container is the full sized lid big enough to swirl the brush in?

| Where can I get cute gloves? |

Hi folks!
I'm looking to buy my sister a pair of gloves for Christmas. She wants fully fingered cloth gloves that are "colorful," which I take to mean she'd like stripes or different colored fingers or something like that. I've already looked at Macy's, L.L. Bean, Hot Topic, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 and some other random indy shops like Shana Logic online, and everything was either arm warmers, fingerless, or boring blah colors or plain black...
I'm wondering if it might be easier to actually go to a mall or outlet or something to find her a pair she'd like, but I'm really trying to find her something unique and fun that she'll really enjoy.
Do any of you have any ideas on where to shop for a cute pair of gloves? Online, in person, doesn't matter.
Thanks in advance!

Any opinions on MAC mascara? Also, a red MAC lipstick? Which type of lipstick would stay on the best? Has anyone tried their Longwear Lipcolor? What do you love from MAC, aside from eyeshadow?
Also, Politely Pink or Angel?
