Hey, everyone! Long time, no post. :) I'm very pale: my neck is about N5 on the MAC scale, and my face is N15, so I like to try and get something that's at LEAST N10, if not lighter. I also have neutral-cool undertones, but they're cool yellow, not pink, which can make it even harder to...

I wore this a while ago, but just took the pictures off of my camera today. PS, QOTD: "Whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent." --MLKJr. EYES: Too Faced Shadow Insurance L'oreal Telescopic...

Any tips on how an NW15 gal can wear Plumfoolery? Love the color, but it's so incredibly pigmented that it just EXPLODES on my cheeks. For the record, I can't stipple; it hurts my cheeks.

Sorry about the color oddity. I live in a basement, so I take my pictures in the bathroom and use my camera's tungsten lighting setting, which can get a bit screwy. Also, my lips were more peachy today, not that pink. :/ EYES: DeLeon eyeshadow primer UD Deluxe Shadow Box (Honey...

YouTube - How to make tinted lip conditioners and balms! With a special cameo voice over from my dad. :P Sorry about the naked face and the PJs, but the only time I could find a modicum of privacy was at about 1:30 in the morning.

I refuse to bleach my waist-length hair or use permanent dyes, but I've always loved crazy hair colors. For the past year or so I've been checking out Special Effects dyes, which have amazing colors...and I've noticed that a lot of times, when the person getting dyed bleaches their hair, it's...

Finally reorganized, after years of having this in messy drawers. Thank God for tupperware! YouTube - Reorganized makeup collection! Eureeka! I still need to get a desk drawer organizer for the brushes, and a few more tupperware containers for the pigments drawer and to split up the lipsticks...

Has anybody here ever tried this? I'm starting a round after I graduate. YouTube - Project 10 Pan: Let round 2 commence!

I'm going to Hawaii for a conference this July, and my brother--who tans like woah--put the fear of God in super-fair-skinned me and told me how easy it is to burn. Now, I use the Hard Candy tinted moisturizer, which has SPF 15, but I want a little more to use under that, preferably SPF 25 or...

I am an absolute newb when it comes to putting styling products in my hair (and I still don't do it often), so bear with me! I have very fine and obnoxious, but also very long and corkscrew curly, hair. I've recently found ways to keep the corkscrew curls in my hair without having the weight of...

I have a couple of average-sized perfume bottles, but I mostly buy samples so I can switch scents often. Hence, I have tons of tiny perfume bottles balancing precariously on the back of my sink. They constantly fall over and I'm afraid of them breaking. I've tried putting them in to small cups...

I've gotten in to nail polish over the past year, and I've always been pretty careful. I use a layer of clear polish, then a basecoat, and then I apply the polish and cover it with a topcoat. And yet, no matter how many barriers I try to put between my nail and the colored polish, they ALWAYS...

About 10 minutes ago, I ran downstairs to check the mail. As soon as my older sister saw me heading towards the door, she shouted out, "No letters!" She's talking about letters from the graduate schools I applied to. I applied to 6 graduate schools--Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Eastern...

I've been using the same tube of St. Ives apricot scrub for about 2 years now, but honestly, I worry that it's a little too rough on my skin. I want to look for something a bit gentler that will slough off dead skin without possibly microscopically tearing my cheeks to shreds. :P The two I've...

Lately I've been reading tons of conflicting stories about mineral oil. Some people say it clogs your pores and causes breakouts, others say that it's just fine and will not clog your pores. To be quite honest, I never thought a whole lot about it; I know that my Mehron makeup remover has...
