    Ugh. I blew it. And what the hell is "People Soft??"

    Hey guys. I just graduated from Esthetics school and received my license back in October and I've been on the constant search for a job since then. So far, it's been extremely unsuccessful, and I can't even begin to explain how frustrated I am. I only work 1 night a week bartending and I haven't...

    Illuminare Liquid Mineral Makeup

    Hey guys! Long time, no post. So I just graduated from Esthetics school in October (yay!) and I have to admit, my skin never looked WORSE than it did while I was in school. All the facials and products and masks and peels, my skin was not pleased. I would have thought the opposite, but no. No no...

    It's kind of pathetic that I'm this excited about eyeshadow...

    But OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! It was my absolute FAVORITE EVER eyeshadow/highlighter/make everything look put together product. It was discontinued at least 6 years ago for some ridiculous reason that I will never understand because it was perfect. Why is it that when I really...

    Joico K-pak and white flakies?

    I went and bought the shampoo and reconstructor in the beginning of January. I've used them several times, but I noticed I started to get white flakes and an itchy scalp! I've never had a dandruff problem, so it was really surprising. I parted my hair and I could see all these little white...

    My lips are burning!! Need chapstick!!

    Or some form of lip balm. Aquafor doesn't really solve the problem. As soon as it rubs off, my lips are chapped again. What are the best lip balms for CHAPPED lips? Something that will help them heal so my naked lips aren't so dry and flaky. They kinda hurt!

    Please help my mommy's fried hair!!!

    My mom has been wearing her hair the same since the 70's...It's big, red, and couldn't be frizzier. Seriously...I don't think I've ever seen dryer, frizzier hair in my life.

    Chemical peels at home?

    I've been reading all over the net about these, trying to decide if I want to give it a shot or not. I have very fair skin, and every time I get rid of a pimple, I'm left with a new bright red spot. They are determined to stay put, and are a bitch to cover up. Even when I do, my complexion still...

    Aww crap...i effed up in an attempt to go blonde

    I mean, it's not too bad. I actually like the color that most of my hair turned out to be. It's a pretty golden-blonde. Problem is, I missed some spots. I have leopard head. Some spots are still brown, while others are blonde, and others are that golden-blonde color. I had a friend highlight my...

    A concealer that lightens scars?

    Is there even such a thing? And I'm not talking just something that lightens as in covers them up, I want something that conceals and helps heal scars in the process. I'm cursed with old pimple scars! I use Revlon's colorstay blemish fighting concealer (whatever it's called) and I know that has...

    African Black Soap

    Has anyone tried it? I just ordered some off Coastal Scents. I'll give an update when I try it and see how it works for me! It's supposedly really good for breakouts, so I'll be a good guinea pig for that! Especially since my evil bitchface Aunt Flo will probably be in town by the time my order...

    Mineral makeup users with acne scars help me!

    These damn red marks...I can only cover them so much but I can still see them. I just cannot get the coverage I want like I used to get with liquid foundation. I use Coastal Scents silk cover mineral foundation, and while the coverage is decent I can still see those buggers even when I...

    So my hair hasn't really been dyed in quite a while. It's naturally a medium brown color, but summer's coming and I've been looking at a lot of old pictures from when I was blond and I have to say it was prettyyy hot. I'm trying to keep as much length as possible, so what products do you all...
