    Soap/bath product sellers on Etsy--any thoughts, raves, horror stories?

    I have very sensitive skin that gets mega-dry in the winter, so bath products are one of my major vices. Sadly, bathing with a bath bomb every night isn't exactly a plausible idea when you're a busy college student, so I usually end up looking for other ways to moisturize. Lately, I've been...

    Non-drying hair products that are easy to use and hold your curls?

    This is going to seem long and rambly, but please try to stay with me. I have waist-length, virgin hair. It's VERY fine, but also very soft and silky, and I love that. I take good care of it; I only wash the top half of my hair and condition the bottom half, and I deep condition from time to...

    My makeup, smooshed in to two video clips.

    YouTube - My Makeup Collection (part 1) YouTube - My Makeup Collection (part 2) I cannot wait until I can pin down where I'm going to grad school and what my living situation will be like, so I can really invest in decent storage.

    Will salicylic acid rough up non-acne-prone skin?

    I know this sounds like a silly question, but I've never really used products with more than a little salicylic acid in them because I'm not acne prone. I do get the occasional zit from time to time, but that's life, right? However, my mom bought me a cream cleanser for "normal to oily skin" (I...

    Product stuck in the grooves of the jars?!

    I use a lot of "mineral"/cottage industry make-up, which is usually powdered and often comes in small screwtop jars. Recently, I swapped on MUA for a bunch of Archetype and Fyrinnae shades. Most of the shades came in little baggies, which I usually detest, but this time I ended up being more...

    Nothing seems to soothe my dry skin!

    I live in western Pennsylvania, where it gets pretty dry and cold in the winter. I normally have very nice skin, but when the weather gets like this, I just can't seem to get it back to a non-dry state! Is there any lotion I can use to help out with this? Also, I'm a college student on a very...

    Refridgerating moisturizers?

    I've been looking around for a cost-effective but well-reviewed face moisturizer, as I've been lacking one for about 2 years now and really need to stop using Aveeno hand lotion on my cheeks (LOL!), and one of the products I've got my sights on is the St. Ives Collagen-Elastin moisturizer...

    Removing eyelash glue without ripping your lashes out!

    I love to wear false eyeslashes. I also love my Mehron eye make-up remover, which is insane and removes everything off of my face with little effort...except for eyelash glue. That wouldn't be such a huge problem, expect I use eyeliner and the lash glue tends to "pick up" the color. I'm glad it...

    What are your favorite MATTE pigments?

    I love pigments, but I also love matte colors, and the vast majority of my pigments have some kind of shimmer in them. So I want to invest in some nice matte shades. What are your favorite completely matte pigments? (And while I love MAC, please don't just stop there; I'd like to get recs from...

    Semi-Arabic fall inspired...thingy...

    Please bear with me; my camera is on the blink and never captures colors properly, and I hadn't actually finished my false eyelashes when I took these. :X But yeah, so, I wanted to finally finish my TKB Trading review for YouTube, so I decided to pimp my eyes out with their micas. I garnered a...

    Can anybody recommend their favorite BF-Beauties.com shadows?

    I did a search, but nothing came up. :/ I was thinking about making a custom 9-color palette at Beauties Factory (BF-Beauty.com *** Welcome ***), since I know almost all of us have one of their 88/120/etc. palettes by now, and I think some of those colors are half-decent. That's the problem...

    Red White and Bluebonnet -- a cheaper Lush?

    So, I absolutely love Lush products, but I can't afford them. :/ Plus, because I rarely get to go in to the city, I always have to pay their mildly ridiculous shipping costs, and I can't test out the scents to see if I like them. I grew up in a house with a father and a brother who are VERY...

    My post office officially hates me: 3 hauls in one day! (PIC HEAVY)

    I received a delivery notice in my mailbox on Thursday. I was out all day Friday because it was my best friend's birthday "party" (he turned 24, which is his favorite number! ), so I just put in a redelivery request online, instructing the post-office to just leave the package at my door on...

    Bright, non-natural AND non-permanent hair colors that work without bleaching?

    So, I abso-freaking-lutely love funky colored hair, but because I'm working towards becoming a professor, bleaching my waist-length hair and permanently dying it bright blue is frowned upon. :P Hence, in the past couple of years, I've used L'oreal's Color Pulse dyes about 3 times to get...
