Girly thread v. soft hair and pretty faces

[DarthMom]

so, i was drunk one morning and watching infomercials and plopped down 300 bucks for this makeup airbrushing thing..... luminess air, and i love it. i am in the market for more liquid foundations to use with the machine, but it really does go on incredibly. the foundation i chose after skin matching was too dark, but it still just looked as though i was really tan, it didn't look bad at all. and i am picky as hell, i like natural looks. it is light, it goes on sooo fast and easy, i really love it.

Sorry to burst the Pill bubble guys, but I have had horrific experiences with all different types of contraceptive pills. Hormonal contraceptives cause me to develop pre-menstrual dysphoric disroder, and I have tried several different combination pills, progesterone-only pills, and the Nuvaring, all leading to the same result.

That is definitely not to say that will happen to anyone else, but just wanted to share a different side of the story!

Ugh I know, I tried the nuvaring and it made me bleed for like 3 and a half weeks straight. That shit was garbage.

I tried the yasmin pill too and that shit wigged me the fuck out i couldnt sleep, i was CRAZY, like psycho style mood swings, Mayne I just cant fuck with my hormones like that. I cant be on no pill or watever, everything i try dont work and my man even hates it, he like, yo you got to stop takin that shit, none of it, it just dont work for you im tired of dealin with your crazy ass when you take it! LOL yo, BC just aint for everybody, and i never got clearer skin or bigger titties from it. Also I want to gain weight so i also would look for that from a pill which i also did not get.

anyways, thats jsut my 2....

^^ Yep, I know precisely what you went through lacey!
Sure it agrees well with some people, but for others (i.e. us! :D) it can be an absolute nightmare.

That is really cool DM! I've seen those things on TV and always thought it was a load of crap to be honest :D Good to hear it works well.
Photos of the end result??

Other positive side effects of the pill are obviously, no babies, but clear skin and bigger boobs!! It really is a miracle drug.

my boobies have been about the same size up until this year when i have put on some overall weight. they stayed really consistent when i was on the pill, and i have not taken it for about four years.

i would really recommend people check out an IUD if they want a non-hormonal birth control method that does not involve condoms.

I have female issues........and CAN NOT take birth control.
The last time I tried it really turned me off of the whole idea of giving another one a try-
I was in bed over a month- I lost so much blood my mother was having to help me into the bathroom and feed me and all.......The Dr. gave me a pill to stop the bleeding. But it was a terrible experience.
Before that everytime I took the pill I would bleed as long as I was taking it.
No thank you.

I am afraid of the shot or any other form of BC now.

edit- oh and N3o- PMDD......I have seen the commercials and I seem to fit that.....But maybe I just have really bad PMS?? I should read up on it.

i haven't played with the bronzer yet, was going to do an all over body thing to play with a faux tan look. if i remember to take pics, i will send you some.

 

[kytnism]

me too plz darth. youve got me interested.

i hate the idea of tanning beds; but like to look sunkissed.

 

[poopie]

this thread is in a coma!

i have come to revive it and perhaps start a new trend.

i'm gonna post a couple of make-up pictures (they're actually for this other msg board where they do a "face of the day", but i thought it was fitting).

fun fuschia hair extensions:

my vanity:

next purchase:

p.s. i never wear make-up to the grocery store. this is all usually for work. days off are spent w/o makeup and flat-ironing. thank god. showering would be optional, but this is florida...in july.

 

[AmorRoark]

Thanks for reviving poopie! I knew you wouldn't be a make-up every day girl, me too! I really like the color in the last of your closed-eye pics. Care to share what color that is and from what brand?

 

[fizzle]

Ooooh I love the shades from your "next purchase" picture!

 

[Khadijah]

I love wearin makeup every day. I wear different colors everyday n match it to the clothes I got on. I aint a girly chick really but make up is art to me and I always want to look my best, have my hair done right and all that. U got to stay fly is how I see it. If i can get a camera ill take sum pix.my phone camera dont work no more so i aint got no make up photos that i can send it wont send pics for some reason. Anyways tho, i like loreal HIP eye shadows but I aint buyin that shit no more they just got convicted of a lawsuit in france of refusing to hire non white women to work for them over there, and specifically postin in their help wanted ads that they only wanted white women, so i aint givin my money to them scandalous racist greedy ass people no more. better find some new eye makeups with super strong colors

 

[fizzle]

Wow thats good to know! I dont usually stick to one particular brand but I'll be sure to avoid them now. MAC has very vivid eyeshadows, but they're like $13 each or something, however they also offer this thing where you can bring in 5 empty eyeshadows and they'll give you a new one free or something, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but its unlimited, its not like a one-time thing or anything.

 

[spork]

If I wear eye shadow (not often) I wear Urban Decay. My mom bought me a big thing with a bunch of colors a while ago. It goes a long way and the price is worth it more since I don't wear it every day (and since it came from my mommy's pocket book, not mine )

 

[n3ophy7e]

Nice revival poopie!!

I ADORE your eye make-up

I'm slowly teaching myself how to do good eye make-up:

When I get better at it I'm going to treat myself to some good quality eyeshadows

 

[ocean]

I love playing in makeup
I have a bunch of not so quality pictures of eyeshadow......
I should look for them- the makeup seemed light in them so they may not be worth it......
Its fun though-
N3o- I like the second.....looks like greenish blue with grey? nice.
the brown/coppery color with green pencil liner is nice as well.....

i don't wear makeup, but sometimes i look at it in the store. i was tempted to get those super colorful two-toned mascara things a while back, but didn't. and then i didn't see them the last time i looked. does anyone know what i'm talking about?

 

[mariacallas]

^^Haha same here...I love makeup "window shopping" and looking at all the colorful ads in magazines even though the only make up I wear are lip/cheek tints and face powder and lipglosses!!! I love your pics Poopie and Neophyte....pretty pretty :D

 

[n3ophy7e]

^^ Thanks honey!

i was tempted to get those super colorful two-toned mascara things a while back, but didn't. and then i didn't see them the last time i looked. does anyone know what i'm talking about?

NO!!! What is this super colourful two-toned mascara you speak of?! I want!!

 

[poopie]

vibby- i dunno, but i want some now too! i think i have seen some funky mascaras in the past, but never really checked them out.

neo- your eyes have such a pretty shape! and i think your application is pretty swell!

amor- the color on the 1 1/3 is called army, and it is, of course, discontinued (it's just a real neutral gold/green). on my outer vee (amazing tutorial- http://www.makeupgeek.com/tutorials/how-to-define-the-outer-v/ ) i'm wearing a color called cocoa bean:

i then highlighted with a color called adobe:

all the eyeshadow is from www.aromaleigh.com .
i wasn't using it properly for awhile- i never knew about eyeshadow primer and how important it was. it really keeps these bright loose powder colors on for hours!

oh, and thank you for compliments!!! =)

 

[vibr8tor]

it was these:

they were everywhere for a while, but i didn't see it in the store recently when i actually considered getting some.
