    Coffee and Acne: Is there a link?

    I drink about 2-3 cups of coffee every morning, it's the only way I can stay alert throughout the day. I don't really break out badly every month, but on occasion, it happens. Usually, it comes around times of stress and that's when I'm taking in even more caffeine, so that makes me think...

    Is the 187SE like the 188?

    Hmm...though I had no intentions of buying the SE brush sets this year, I got the face brush one as a b-day gift and I noticed it's less wide than the usual, long-handled 187...can anyone tell me if it compares to the 188, or am I just being a snob to the long-handled brushes?

    Be Honest: Do You Always Wash Your Make Up Off At Night?

    So, lately I've been really tired from juggling increasing hours at work and seemingly endless amounts of projects, studying for mid-terms, etc...that's where my inquiry began. Why is it that my skin care routine has nearly diminished? I used to be so good about washing my face at night, putting...

    Why are some counters just more aproachable?

    What makes a good counter/store? I was just thinking about it, but I definitely avoid one of the counters in my area and go out of my way just so I don't have to go there. I don't really know what it is, because it's the same product and the same concept, and all of the employees are hired by...
