    Mend/repair Rayon

    Hello ladies, I'm wondering if anyone know how to repair ripped rayon? It's a clean rip about 3 cm long. I brought the dress last Friday and didn't notice the damage as it was hidden under lace. I know the best thing to do is to return it, but I really REALLY love the frilly little thing and...

I just had a really bad CP experience where I paid the $ required (plus additional monetary incentive for CPer’s trouble at an rate she specified) but CPer (henceforth referred to as “A”) never sent the items.

    Steel Blue + Black Tied + Gold Dusk + Sharkskin

    Okay, so I lied. I used a few more items than those listed above but you only really need the four. Obviously I am totally digging steel blue piggie at the moment. It's got to be one of the more interesting pigments around. Excuse the poor image quality ladies. I suck at taking photos at night...

    Makeup and strong florescent lighting.

    I wonder if anyone has this same problem: I put on m/u in the morning, it looks fine and even at home, in natural light etc… but as soon as I step under strong florescent lights (specifically, like the ones in MAC counter/store) my makeup looks too pale and, on some days, blotchy. What am I...
