    First FOTD... new and old greens alike

    I'm relatively new to MAC, so bear with me. Feel free to give advice and tips! It didn't show up as vivid as it is in RL, though.

    I Got Married!!!

    Last Saturday. My makeup was ok... I got it done at Lancome. The lady who was SUPPOSED to do it didn't show up for work in time. Argh. But the substitute did a pretty good job. When I get pictures back, I'll post them here.

    HAs anyone used/heard of Yon-ka products?

    When I got my facial, they reccomended the Yon-ka line of products... I only bought the toner, since I don't have toner... but I'm tempted to buy the rest, since nothing else has ever worked for me before. Does anyone have any advice? It's expensive...so I don't want to waste my money.

    I have the kind of skin you only have NIGHTMARES about...

    Ok, so maybe I'm dramatic... but it is pretty awful. I breakout regularly. I have sensitive skin. I have oily skin. But that oily skin is ON TOP of dry, flaky skin. I can't even explain it... nor understand it, for tht matter. I've tried Nutrogena... Proactive... Clearasil...Benzoyl Peroxide...

    wedding foundation...

    First off- hi! I'm new here. I was recommended to this glorious site by a friend. Now, for my dilemma. I was thinking about trying two foundations... Mac Studio Fix, and Estee Lauder's Maximum cover. I have oily/combo skin, and have a problem with acne, so I figured those two would provide...
