While folks may laugh at us stirrup pants ladies at least our leggings weren't SEE THROUGH. WTF is up with this generation not noticing their pants are sheer? Half these chicks are wearing tights as pants. When I saw my daughter's pasty booty through her black pants I promptly called her out and told her to never wear those in public again. I then bought her some nice Zella leggings from Nordstrom (which also hold your bits in) and voila -- no see through.

My lippies are arriving today. I'm thinking about giving away one to someone in one of my Secret Santa groups. Is it wrong that though I know she'd love the purples I don't really wanna give one up?

I say be greedy and buy her Violetta or something of the sort

I hear you and feel your pain AutumnMoon. Do you use any leave in conditioners or anti-frizz stuff? (which I personally find more irritating because they frizz my hair due to the alcohol content in it). I've been using Moroccan oil lately and it's been doing a pretty good job with leaving my hair curly (not too oily and doesn't seem to be drying my hair). I need to try it after I get my hair cut & blown-out to see if it makes a difference.

I used Goldwell Color Extra Rich 60 Second treatment as my every day conditioner. Add to that their oil and serum spray and my hair seems to really behave. I also use one of those conair blow dryer-brush combos that spins as it dries. It dries my super thick hair really fast and makes everything smooth with a light wave. It's the only thing that keeps me from perpetual up-dos. Let me know which oil you're using.

Yes! And also, try to find Revlon Shameless. It's so pretty. Very rich and a little bright. I managed to snag one yesterday on my lunch.

Or MAC Goes and Goes, or Up the Amp, or Asian Flower... there's a lot of great perm purples she will like.

THIS!! There is a big difference between tights and leggings! Hint: we should not see your underwear if you are wearing the right ones.

so true lol

She's a makeup collector so I won't go the Revlon route. Plus it's harder to find than Punk Couture. This collection is right up her alley aesthetically so I know this is the right move. I don't think I'll wear Haute Couture so I was thinking of gifting that. She actually may be Googling this collection now and this thread is third in results. I better shut up. LMAO

The Revlon one is crazy to find. I'm not usually a Revlon fan, but the balm/stains are really nice. I try to stay away from brands that test on animals (so no drugstore brands for the most part), but with the China restrictions it's getting harder.

I hope you can fly under the radar. This collection would be a wonderful gift.

My problem is my hair is half curly, half straight. If it was all one way, I'd be golden. But half hair with frizz sucks (for me).

Yes, I have the same problem. I also can't use any anti-frizz stuff because my hair is so oily that if I do, I look like I need a shower midday.

When I was actually trying to find the Revlon Shameless lip balm it was the most difficult thing in the world to find. But once I stopped looking I found it everywhere. I had 3 of them (gave one to a friend that had been searching)...never thought about it but I should consider picking them up whenever I see them and listing them in the clearance bin for those that are having trouble still finding them at cost. I just assumed they must have become easy for everyone to find by now if I was finding them so easily now.

Try the conair dryer I was talking about. The brush seems to keep my oil at bay.

Oh yes please do! I can't find it anywhere! haha. Every store i go to it's the only one gone. I am like you though...as soon as I stop looking for something...or I am looking for something else, I find it!

u mean business Black Friday I wish I had the willpower but I did say I'm not backing anything up 2014 I am backing up the viva glam lipstick in the red packaging but lord I hope I have the willpower to just say no to everything else lol

Y'all should join the Low-buy 2014 thread if you haven't already!

 

[NaomiH]

Say NO to relaxers! Lol it's not worth the damage to that beautiful hair. You tell her mama but I feel your grief on $$ for blow outs! My goodness!

Agreed, I used to relax mine up until a few months ago and am now just waiting on all the old relaxed hair to grow out.

Wearing Instigator today. I really don't buy back ups, bc I find that I don't need them but I do make an exception every now and then (Deeply Adored!) and I'm really thinking of backing up Instigator. I love this shade! I feel like it's so intense on my skintone but the red undertone makes it classic still. For anyone wondering about what to wear with it I wore a champagne shadow w a dusty purple shadow (Nars Mississippi Mermaid and Urban Decay Cult) today




Yes a BU is needed.
