hahahah lovin the Pandas!

Yes Kenickie, post a pic of what you wore to the interview

 

[Kenickie]

i totally will! i think i aced it by the way, i asked the interviewing ladies a lot a lot of questions, which they both said was 'awesome' and 'refreshing'. it was a mini ish dress, simple head band, pearls and black 'dance' shoes. simple but younger and hip ya know.

and painted my nails this:

i think will be my colour of the summer! without a top coat, it's matte, and i really love that.

I have asked this a million times in the past but maybe there is someone new reading this that could make a suggestion-

I need the palest foundation you have ever heard of AND not an orange or red based one.......
Any suggestions?!?!
(MAC NC 15 is too dark and orange for my skin)

Hi Ocean, I don't know if you can get this where you live and it only seems to do a powder mineral-based foundation at the mo, but this range is designed specifically for people with really pale skin.. worth keeping an eye on even if it doesn't have what you want or ship where you want at the mo

^I have a color very similar to this, (China Glaze's Frostbite) and I LOVE IT!! It's so bright and bold but not obnoxiously so.

I purchased a colored eyeliner by Vincent Longo from a recent makeup sale on Haute Look, in this color:

I wore it to a concert Friday night, and I still have it on my eyes today (Sunday!!) I can't get it off! I've washed my face, exfoliated my face, used eye makeup remover and just let it wear off for nearly two days now, and I still have electric blue shadows around my eyes. Any suggestions of how to get it off?

Edit: Anyone else who follows All Lacquered Up, did anyone else love the turquoise ring manicure as much as I did? Brilliant!

I follow ALU - it's by far my favourite international nail-polish resource! And yes yes yes I LOVED the turquoise ring look! It looked incredible.

^ I actually purchased the purple and white China Glaze crackles this week, I'm excited to see what looks I can create with them.

Did anyone in this forum get on the holographic nail polish train and actually purchase one before they were sold out everywhere and going for insane prices on eBay? I love the way they look, and search endlessly for a good deal on one of these polishes.

Amber from Rainbows and Sparkles Blog wrote a post about a holographic powder paint she purchased on eBay at the suggestion of another blogger, and how you can use it with nail polish to create your own lacquers.

I would imagine if she had added more powder, it would reflect the light better. I REALLY want some of this powder! It's $14 on eBay, but considering how expensive and difficult it is to get your hands on one of these polishes, I just might buy it!

So i've totally jumped on the rosehip oil bandwagon. I have always shied away from oils on my face, because my face is really oily in parts, but after a session of microdermabrasion last week, my face was left quite dry. The beauty therapist at my hair salon took pity on my poor face (first and only time i'll get a discount voucher for micro ) and while suggesting the rosehip, also gave me a free ozone treatment and facial for the most aggravated areas. As an aside, i've had about 5 micro treatments, and this is the first time i've reacted to it. I think it was due to the fact that there was no home-care products offered (due to the discount, i think).

In only 4 days, my skin looks so good! It's literally drinking up the rosehip oil and while away this weekend, was applying it at least 5 times a day. Amazing!

queenbee - drooool. that is beautiful.

^Agreed! You have inspired me to buy a glittery polish and i bought a Sally Hansen one - LOOOOVE it. I have fairy nails now :D

I'm new to bikini area shaving and have gotten some unsightly bumps, is there anything I can do to help these go away quickly? I really do not want to wax at all. I bought some "coochy cream" and a protective spray for afterward, but there are some lingering bumps.

That happens to me alot. 1st step is start with a brand new razor, that is very important.

I use BumpRx or also called No Bump. You have to use it a few days before and a few days after you shave. You can usually get it from Sally's for like $8-$10.

If you are getting the bumps on the panty line then I would reccommend after you shave wear thongs, boyshorts, or go commando for the first day to keep the irritation down.

good luck

I ordered a couple things from Sephora and i'm ITCHING for them to arrive!!!

I got a foundation I am really crossing my fingers will match me.
The reviews said it is WHITE and should be blended with other foundation, so I Will do that but it sounds like it'll be good for my shade- and I ordered a lip plumper that I know I like-
Then I got a bunch of free samples too........
3 more days

I can't wait!! haha

Normally I'm not a fan of the glittery/sparkly nail polishes but the black you have here actually looks amazing.

I really want to check out Essie's new summer colors, particularly braziliant and smooth sailing.

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

Super Bossy Nova and Shore Thing look lovely! I've really been loving the Essie mini's I bought recently, their staying power is amazing - better than OPI and all of my other polishes.

As for the pigment you're referring to queenbee, a friend of mine on another forum made some cheapy polishes into holo's using this stuff recently - here's the results;

(Not my photos)

They look all kinds of pretty, but it sounds like it's messy messy stuff! She said if you use it, to make sure you wear disposable gloves and cover your face with something so you don't breathe it in and make sure you pick colours that are darker than what you're hoping to end up with as the pigment does lighten the polish.
