Dupe-search and business casual
I know I just posted, but I'm clueless! First of all, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a drugstore moisturizer that is similar to Estee Lauder's Hydra Bright/Hydrationist? I saw a rec for it, and am somewhat interested but I don't really have $40 to drop on it right this minute. This recommendation I saw (in passing on a fashion website somewhere) said basically that it gives her the "after gym" glow, and I've been really intent on achieving this sort of glow. My parents just bought me a Clairisonic for Christmas and I really want to get into a good skincare regime. I've just been using St. Ives lotion on my face recently and it's not cutting it. :/ The more natural the better, but I'm not too fussy. Secondly, I have a weird body type. I'm 4'11" and weigh 85lbs, but I have C cup boobs that really get in the way when I'm shopping. I work at a restaurant and the dress code is "business casual" and I want to get new blouses but always have the WORST time finding stuff that fits because of my boobs. Button ups pull away around the boobs, other shirts kind of just hang down from my boobs and don't really fit around my waist. Is there anywhere I can shop or any styles that I can be looking out for? I've resorted to just wearing t-shirts and sweaters but I want to step it up a bit. You guys are always so helpful! Thanks in advance! |

I'm Recommending!
Usually we see people asking for recommendations here, but right now, I just CANNOT get over this product! So anyone who's had skin problems, I would STRONGLY recommend this. It might not work on everyone, but everybody I know who has used this has ended up having AMAZIG skin and I've had bad skin for so long that I just have to brag! THE PRODUCT IS ST. IVES APRICOT SCRUB |

Wavy Hair
Ok, so I have a question about creating wavy hair. I have thick but straight hair. It's got a lot of volume, but sometimes I'm just not feeling all the volume stuff. So I want to know what you guys use to make wavy hair and what has and hasn't worked for you. Right now I've just been using the Herbal Essence Extra Hold Mousse (in the greenish blue can) and letting it air-dry and it only works about half the time to make my hair wavy, and then once it's dry I have to use my fingers to separate and get rid of how crunchy it makes my hair feel. Suggestions are helpful, guys, so thanks in advance :D |

Last minute fashion advice?
Sooo it's Christmas eve and we're having a big family get together and I THOUGHT I knew what I was gonna wear buuut it's kind of out the window now. My sister just got back from Mexico yesterday and bought me this beautiful hair piece. It's a feathered one and the feathers are a teal blue similar to the one on the left of this picture ( Picture here )I decided I really wanted to wear it and show it off but it totally clashes with the outfit I've already picked out! I have a very large wardrobe but I tend to wear very basic and simple outfits. What would be cute to wear with this hair piece and kind of make it the focus of my outfit? I'm just looking for some general ideas and hopefully I'll be able to build something from that in 5 hours XD |

Hair Help
I have always been curious about the 'beach spray' type hair products for creating scrunchy wavyish hair, does anyone have experience with it? I usually use Iso Bouncy Creme for scrunching after I wash and I just let my hair dry (except the bangs, I blow dry and put some wax in the ends to seperate them). I wonder if the beachy stuff would work better, sometimes I worry that my hair looks too straight/flat. Here is a few pictures under the cut, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! <3 ( Read more... ) |

Scalp Acne
I have a nasty little break out on the back of my head, just above the nape of my neck. Its a little cluster of very painfull bumps that I think are pimples but I can't see.I'm hoping its just from stress because I've been using the same shampoo for years. If it is acne, how can I treat it. If it all? If its not, what could it be and if I have my mom or someone look at it for me what would they be looking for? Thanks so much! <3 Current Mood: grossed out |

burned my new gel nails with a lighter
This may be a stupidity central to myself, but while I was lighting a Yankee Candle candle (the small one in the glass jar) I accidentally burned the edge of my new gel nail on my thumb. I filed the burned part off, but have I damaged the nail job more than that? |

I'm looking for a foundation that is waterproof and no spf. The reason I want a foundation without sunscreen is because it reflects lights, making my skin look ghostly in flash photos & I hate that. I also need something with very good coverage. My skin is kind of blotchy and I have big pores. Also, I was wondering if any of you have tried skin id.. Thanks in advance :D |

Quick hit question: Kat Von D Palettes. They are so tempting and beautiful in the Sephora store. Reviews? Rants? Raves? Also, recommendations for a palette for blue eyes? I know she has brown eyes and a lot of her palettes seem to be more oriented toward that, but I worry that something like Metal Orchestra would really wash my light/bright blue eyes out. Quick hit review: Sephora Lush Flush Lip and Cheek Stain. It's good stuff. Nice and buildable, one coat is polished and subtle, three is a dramatic rich berry. For my skintone, it's perfect (for reference, I'm light/golden olive and my favorite lip color is Clinique Black Honey). The only thing is it dries out your lips a bit, but a good balm/gloss over it takes care of that. |

Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub
Alright, my wonderful denizens of beauty- I have another problem. For Christmas a not-very-close friend got me a little thing of Burt's Bees stuff. One of the items is this. I tried it tonight and it left a thick film on my face. I'm already breaking out a little because it's that time of month, I figured I didn't need anything else clogging my pores. So I washed the film off with my Philosophy Purity face wash. So my question to you all is two fold. One- why is this stuff leaving a film on my face? It's a thick film too. Feels pretty gross. What the heck is in it that's doing that? And why? Why did they think this was a good idea? Two- am I overreacting by washing my face again afterwards? Is it actually just hurting it more? Should I keep using the stuff the way I am now, or the way they tell you to? Or should I just re-gift it to someone else? lol. Thank you for all your wonderful advice, and a happy whatever-you-celebrate to everyone! Current Mood:  soreCurrent Music: Merry Christmas (Here's To Many More)- Relient K |

Pear shape
I think that the medication that I'm on caused me to gain weight in the hip area. So now my hips are a lot wider than what they were before and my stomach is flat. I'm at a lost. I just came back from shopping and the stuff that usual works, looked horrible on me. I tried reading stuff online but I'm still not too sure about it. I was always a pear shape, but in two months the weight gain has been so drastic. It's like the rest of my body is the same size besides my hips. My butt isn't any larger; just for some reason it's like my bones stretched out wider (maybe it's the last bit of puberty? I'm only 20 and I know that the body keeps changing). Any styling tips for extreme pear shapes? I have a large bust too and most of the tips that I read online were for flat chested pears. ( picture ) |

Skin care halp
I've perused the tags looking for help but I haven't really found much to answer my questions :( MY DILEMMA: My skin's been getting weird on me. I've always had breakouts here and there but lately it's been going nuts, to the point where I think I might have mild acne. Cystic breakouts and whiteheads and clogged pores and other disasters have been erupting all over, mostly along my jaw. I heard good things about Neutrogena's grapefruit wash, so I tried that, and honestly it did work wonders ... for the first three or four days. Then it started drying out my t-zone like NOBODY's business. When I tried a temporary solution of moisturizing the area after I scrubbed my face, I started breaking out in that area again, even while still using the scrub. Could the moisturizer be the problem? I stopped using it after that, and I did use it on my whole face, daily (when I remembered) for a while, but my issues started after I forgot to use it for about a month, lol. I've stopped using both, and now it's just back to crappy blah breakouts. I've always been a skincare spaz ... I don't really know what to use or when to use it or what really works, so I'm back in the dark after that disaster I guess. My skin goes from kind of dry to really oily (and vice versa) pretty fast, so I'm not even sure how to address THAT. It even affects my hair, I think, because by the end of the day my bangs and the hair around my face gets mega greasy. I'M A HOT MESS!! Could anyone recommend anything? Or even just say "holy crap my skin's just like that!" Thanks ladies (and gents?)! |

Purple boot leg Jeans?
My mom awhile ago bought me royal purple boot leg jeans, yet I haven't worn them because I don't know HOW to wear them. It's a funny royal purple too not what you think it would be. I LOVE purple and ecstatic that she got me these but i am having trouble fitting these in my style. I'm usually just a blue jean, plain long sleeved, sweeter, funky shirt kind girl and I really don't know how to pair it with anything to make it look not dorky D=.  That's the color purple a bright royal purple. Ideas? |

of course i am asking this last minute.
so tomorrow is christmas eve and i am trying to figure out my outfit. my family and i go to a family friends house with all of our friends and then attend midnight mass. i was thinking wearing a red button down shirt (completely plain). black skirt. and flats. the problem is my black skirt is a little shorter than i hoped. its about mid thigh. do you guys think that is too short to wear to church. should i wear black pantyhose underneath or nude colored? im completely stuck and will have no option to go out and buy anything. the alternatives to wearing the black skirt would be black hardtail pants or black skinny jeans. the problem with pants is i would be wearing such a covered up shirt that i would feel VERY conservative and plain wearing pants with that top! thanks for the help :) |

Ahh the joys of summer
I had a look through the memories and tags, and that has helped me narrow my field down by a tiny bit (but not by much!), so i need your help! Im in need of a self tanner(s) for my body as it's summer here in Australia and im white as a ghost. I've read good things about the bare escentuals(?) faux tan, and anything by Clarins, but we don't sell bare escentuals(?) here and Clarins will cost an arm and a freaking leg to buy! So im looking for pretty much anything else. In Australia people rave about the St Tropez and Model Co ranges, but they're about $40-$60 for their products so im a bit skeptical of paying so much when im a first time user of self tan and im white as. I have also heard good reviews of the L'oreal Sublime Bronze but i have no idea which one people are referring too. ( these are the two that my work sells )I've tried the Nivea Summer Beauty gradual tanner in medium-dark and while it's okay, here are a list of cons: *It's really runny to apply and takes forever to absorb *It takes about a week of application to see any result *It goes orange very quickly, so if you go overboard or keep applying for about 2 weeks straight, you'll be an orange mess *It pretty much washes off in the shower. I've also tried the Dove and Johnson gradual tanners with about similar luck. So im not really looking to try another gradual tanner as i want more lasting power and more brown than orange! 1) For my legs/arms im wanting a nice self tanner that's more on the bronze side with as little orange-ness as possible. Any brand or price, really... And in your experience, is it easier to apply a cream/mousse or a spray? 2) A decent self tanner for the face/WONT CAUSE BREAKOUTS! I've been specifically looking at the tanner for the face by St Tropez, or a L'oreal face tanner. I don't mind if these are gradual or even orange-y, they just cannot clog my skin like a mofo! Lately i've been getting some pimples on my neck and chest, so i want a facial tanner to use on that area in the hopes of not creating any more pimples. Ack! Thanks in advance! |
