I was thinking of that movie last night, but it was too late to watch it so I just listened to the soundtrack and it has been in my head all day.

My migraines are under control now, which is GREAT! I am doing a full highlight on my mom tomorrow, if she let's me take a picture I will show you guys my skills! lol.

Aww, hope things get better, can't wait to see your skills!

For everyday, I use NARS oil-free, which doesn't break me out at all. However, it's a pretty basic foundation, so it's not something I would use for a night out as all it does is even out my skin. If I have enough time in the morning, I'll actually use the EL on the rest of my face and the NARS on my chin! Believe me when i tell you I have tried several foundations over the last two years, and the NARS is the only one that really doesn't contribute to my acne. MAC SFF and Chanel TI both broke me out horribly, even the areas that I don't break out as easily.

Would you believe that I have tried EL double wear light and still wasn't crazy about it. I really think I need to change my skin care routine, cause nothing looks good on my skin, so maybe its not the makeup and its me lol. I was told that MAC SFF didnt cause break outs, but it sure seems like it does to me lol.

I never had a problem with LM turning grey on me at all. I did find that the lasting power on it wasn't the greatest. LM sales associates always try to push her primer on you as well, which could make it last longer. But for the cost and the effort involved, I couldn't be bothered. I do still use LM's loose translucent powder though and her secret concealer. I've used these two products now going on about 7 years.

Have you tried a primer under your foundation? I have found that it makes a huge difference for me?

MAC seems to think the SFF shouldn't cause break outs! Well, I can tell you that Laura Mercier's Silk Creme foundation would make anyone's skin look amazing, but it's quite heavy and I think this one made me break out as well! Problem is, the foundation's that will mak your skin look really nice are also the one's that may potentially break you out! It's a no-win situation.

Is it true, though, that one should run their newly setup tanks for 30 days before introducing the fish so that the water stabilizes and conditions. What color system are you using for your Mom? I love Fremisi Color ...very gentle - hard to mix though!

I had my live rock cycling in a Rubbermaid tub for a while, so it spiked in there. I double checked my water parameters and everything was peachy for my puffer and the goby to go in. I still have my 29 gallon running just in case! I am super excited to get the eel! I stare at my tank all the time, it's awesome. I just got Scooter (puffer) some live shrimp to snack on, let's just say that his hunting skills are lacking, lol!!!!

I will be using Redken color & Paul Mitchell bleach. PM bleach is the only bleach that lifts me white without using toner & I have a lot of red undertones. My mother is the same way.
I heard that Fremisi color is hard to mix, I will have to look into it and give it a try!
We use Goldwell at school & I really don't like it, It fades like a MOTHER! But that's my personal opinion. But, they do have the easiest mixing system, they call it the Depot system: http://www.goldwellusa.com/products/...pot-system.asp

I LOVE Jane Iredale mineral foundation. It is really expensive (fortunately I have friends who get it wholesale), but it can make my skin look flawless and angelic (no mean feat) has an SPF, is good for your skin and can cover anything. You really have to be moisturized and exfoliated though because it is a powder. I also liked the l'oreal True Match/Blend whatever when I am in a "saving the JI for special occasions phase or when I want a liquid.

I have only tried a tiny sample of a MAC primer once lol. I never think to purchase one. How does a primer help you? Oh and what brand do you think is a good one?

It just makes everything look smoother and more even. I like Smashbox Primer (I think it's called Photofinish) and Dermalogica's Barrier Repair. I tried Kerstin Florian Antioxidant Primer, but it just wasn't as effective for me personally.

I heard good things about that primer

. I will check that out on my expedition to Sephora on Monday. Well, that is if I can get there with this hurricane heading my way.

Just remember - Faster is not always better when it comes to the toning process. A slower process always gives a better result, even though it may take a few minute more to do.

There's a new bleach out there nowadays that's the bomb - it really lifts to almost a white. I forget the name - I'll get back to you on that one. I don't think it's Wella either??? Hmmm?

Yeah...This stuff is no joke!

You may get it at some MACY's and Ulta stores these days.

Although, some MACY'S stopped carrying it for some reason. They'll have a whole counter dedicated to this brand.

You can really control your coverage with this product -it's creamy, but mattes down to a lovely finish and is always color true. It always breaks my heart that I have to ruin it by slathering on the MAC Studio Fix over it!

I never break out! I swear!

The leg makeups are really interesting as well, but very, very thick for obvious reasons and waterproof as all get out.

Some, actually, use the leg covering makeup on their faces as well for extreme coverage.

So you use it more as a concealer than a foundation?

My hairdresser says the same thing! We both love how PM lifts to the level I want. I do tone my hair in the fall/winter, since I love having a ashy blonde color with lowlight slices! like what I have now:
