I was sent some Lady Jayne hair extensions to play with recently, and I took them to my hair dresser. I filmed a YouTube video with him, it was so much fun.
These are a *seriously* cheap option if you're looking for some length and volume but don't want to fork out a lot of cash for real hair. I'm planning on putting them in again and straightening them next time to get a more natural look. :)

Love the video!! I've always wanted extensions. I like the clip-on idea because it looks so easy to do. I wasn't sure how to do it before, but now I'm inspired to go get some and try it myself. :)
 
I am growing my hair. I figure if I can quit smoking I can tolerate the process.
I am going for chin length at least. I am grateful that my husband can trim it frequently to keep the shape nice.
 
^ You are totally hot with your short hair and rock the style so effortlessly, however i'm looking forward to seeing what a sleek longer do will look like. To be honest, i think you could work any number of hairstyles. :)

I'm growing my hair out - losing the fringe as the weather in Brisbane doesn't like me with short hair. I can actually put my hair in a high pony-tail now, it's brilliant! I'll keep some kind of fringe, but it will be one that i can tuck behind my ears.
 
Thank you. I like short hair due to the minimal effort but it is time for a change. It has been 12 years since I had any length.
I will go the extension route once my dome fills out. Added bonus of sleeping with your hairstylist <3
 
PI I've just done the opposite to you, gone from lots of length to the lob, and am loving having the shorter hair which I find I can do much more with than the long hair.

I'd been sticking with two/three basic styles - long and straight, or in a ponytail or bun, because it was just too much hassle to properly style that length of hair.

Now I'm going for straight, messy/bedhead, curly, kinky, half up/down, pony, bun - it's a lot more interesting.

Hopefully you'll see a similar variety that you enjoy playing with as an alternative to the short hair (which as samadhi said does suit you really well so is a perfect fall back!)
 
Lorac was on HauteLook a few weeks ago, I purchased a set of 5 "Tie Dye For" lip glosses and 3 of their baked eyeshadows. Everything, including shipping was only $21.95 which I thought was a steal.

I finally got around to trying one of my untried Zoya's: Edyta. Such a beautiful black/gold/green duochrome. I highly recommend this one.

Currently sporting OPI's Grape Set Match from the Serena Williams Collection. Love this color too, perfect purple foil with hints of pink duochrome.

Do you ladies have any suggestions for cuticles? Mine are a disaster.
 
My idea of long hair will be a bit past my chin. I don't want to be that girl who keep her hair back most often because it is to much work to do. I like to balance my beauty maintenance. I want to spend time doing other things ;) I know I grow it to chop it off anyway.
 
I got my September Birch Box the other day and included inside was a sample of Incoco's nail polish strips. They're similar to the ones by Sally Hansen or OPI. I tried them out tonight and for the most part, I really like them. They're fairly simple to apply, except filing down the excess is a pain in the ass and some don't fit quite right. From a distance they look awesome :D

Now that I have given up the idea of doing gel nails again- after my awful experience, I'm obsessing over nail polish.
My nails are so flimsy and break so often- they are never even lengths......
SO I bought a Sally Hansen 'Miracle thickener' and then some strengthening nail polish.
I've been reading beauty blogs, and nail polish reviews and I am going to try to get them to be the beautiful nails I want so much!
In all my searching and reading, I've become obsessed with nail art.
I want to learn how to do things on my own! I have shaky hands, so I am a little nervous but figured I would try some sinple stuff first.
Once my nails grown back out and get a little stronger I will start small with some cute little things- like those adorable stencils n3o posts pics of......I want to be cheesy and have cute nails for Halloween and Christmas!!!
I'm loving all the fall colors I'm seeing coming out!
 
went a little crazy saving nail art images on pinterest tonight. Getting more into that site.

This one is the most interesting... Making your own nail art with a laser/inkjet printer?!

Okay, my cousin needs make up direction and I don't know how to tell her.
How do you approach someone on the makeup they wear?
She's tanning, wears orange foundation and does these dark colors on her lids, all the way to her eyebrows-
She looks like Snookie :(
 
Gah, had to take advantage of the Zoya BOGO.

I picked up:

Spork what did you get in the BOGO?!

This is not including my most recent Sally's/Ross haul, including OPI's Done Out in Deco and Ogre the Top, as well as China Glaze Westside Warrior, Watermelon Rind, Innocence, and Mrs. Clause and 3 Borghese polishes I got from Ross for $4.99:

Last week I experimented with OPI's How You Blue'in? from their exclusive line with Ulta. When I first tried this polish it looked almost black to me, but after 3 coats the blue shimmer really comes out. This is a mediocre cell phone picture:
