    Moisturizer for Wedding Day

    Hello! I have a question/looking for recommendations. I am getting married this fall (yay!) and want to spruce up my skincare NOW. My question is: I know for the wedding day, using makeup up an SPF is a no-no for flash photography. But is that also true for moisturizers? What do you guys think...

    Advice needed - I feel like an outcast (drinking)

    Hi Ladies and Gents, I haven't been here in forever, but am looking for some thoughts and advice. All my other social awkwardness aside, there is something I just can't get past. And let me be clear, and say right now that I have never been abused, no one in my family has an...

    I am so sad...

    The manager of the Chanel counter I go to called me today. The mall is getting rid of the Chanel counter. Ugh!! Now there will be no counter or freestanding store within 2 hours of me. And, I don't use credit cards, so no shopping online. This news saddens the Makeup Me greatly... I...

    Returning Skincare products (Dillards)

    So, for some reason beyond my comprehension, I decided to try a new skincare regimen. I have never had a reaction from skincare, I just get random breakouts on my chin. I went to Clinique and had a consultation and took home the 3 step system. Long story short, my chin is a MESS. It is...

    Polish Suggestions for Event

    Alright ladies and gents... I'm off on vacation in a few weeks, and am trying to decide on polish shades! On my hands I'll be wearing CND Shellac. Don't want to go the French route, but am thinking neutral/lighter is the way to go. There will be a formal dinner event and a lot of chic...

    I loathe asking this, but...

    I love my Chanel makeup, but my finances have taken a huge nosedive and I really cannot buy anything. Including my foundation. *sigh* Any suggestions for a good dupe? I use the Vitalumiere Aqua in 22 Beige Rose, I believe. I would love suggestions as to something I can use that...

    Looking for lamp similar to CND's lamp for shellac

    I'm debating buying the CND shellacs and lamp for home! It's horrible; I work at a salon/spa but we're so busy I can't even get myself in! Great for them, plus I know I can do it myself. (And it might save me money in the long run, even though we get a discount.) So, does anyone know...

    Using acetone with a cut on finger... help!

    I have a dumb question: My friend put the gel shellac on my nails (she's a professional, and I've had this done tons of times) but she accidentally nipped the top and side of my finger getting some dry skin off as I get really hard, cracking skin on the side/tips of my fingers. She's so great...

    Help me help someone deal with grief

    I'll try to make this concise, and to the point. **** My, let's say, Significant Other lost his brother in law this past May, to a suicide. Totally unexpected. No signs, no indications, no nothing. They were very close. I immediately drove to SO's house...

    Lancome's Sienna Sultry Dupe

    Anyone know of any dupe for this little palette? Any brands will suffice, I just kind of didn't want to spend $50 on a palette (Not that that's ever stopped me before). Or should I just buy it? Thanks in advance!

    Bronzer or contour suggestions needed

    Hello again! Since I get great advice from everyone here, I'm looking for more! It doesn't need to be MAC, I'll take whatever suggestions you have. I am an NC20 in MAC foundation, and I am interested in using a contour color or even a bronzer, but I cannot find the right color...

    Recommendations: Looking for new skincare routine!

    First off, I'm not limiting myself price-wise, so any suggestions would be great! I'm looking for a new night routine for my skin, maybe even day. My skin is pretty dry all over (except for right around my nostrils, which can be barely oily). It's not highly sensitive, except for my...

    Anybody ordered from Transdesign lately? Are they having trouble?

    As the title asks, I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble with an order from Transdesign. I ordered from them a week ago and the order is still 'In Process'. Normally, within two days the order is processed and I get it within a few more days. This time I actually paid for express...

    Gift ideas for sommelier...?

    My friend and I frequent a restaurant very often, and the sommelier has been extremely friendly and helpful, getting to know us and recommending wines for us. We wanted to get him a gift (even though we do not know him personally, per se). Any suggestions?

    MAC Blush Recommendation

    Let me start off by saying that I am horrible with blush! It scares me, hehe. I have already pigmented cheeks (I've had makeup artists tell me I'm 'lucky' and don't even need to use blush), so when I use blush I am always afraid that it looks... weird because it looks like I have two colors on...

    Victoria's Secret Bathing Suit Size Help!

    I would like to buy a bathing suit from Victoria's Secret online (they're not in the store near me) and I'm unsure what size to get. It's a one piece Miracle suit (to help suck in that tummy!) and the site says to get a size bigger than what I'd normally wear. Here's my problem: My bottom...

    Sally Hansen Bikini Waxing - Anyone tried it?

    Has anyone tried the Sally Hansen Extra Strength Brazilian Bikini Wax kit? I wanted to try my own waxing for a while. Mostly because no one'll see it but me, and I can save some money. Plus, as soon as a razor comes NEAR me, I'm covered in bumps and pimples for over a week. I live in an area...
