^agreed :)
I think personally that a unique appearance is much more attractive.......
and Mia explained Barbie best haha
If I had loads of money- even though I complain about my awful nose- I would not change it.
Its a part of me......and its real.
If I liked myself more after some sort of plastic surgery I would feel.......cheap.
Its not genuine. Its not actually YOU......
(I do want to make sure I say though- I don't find a persons worth in their appearance)
Under a few circumstances plastic surgery is an option for me, like if I were some how deformed by an accident or something terrible......

Does anyone have any suggestions on good eyeshadow for a reasonable price?
 
Let's love our bodies and appreciate our beauty rather than continue the plastic surgery talk, shall we? :)

I got my hair cut Wednesday and colored today - it's back to 3 different shades of dark golden blonde, no more red. I have a before pic and will have an after pic tomorrow hopefully. :) It's definitely a lot darker! I wasn't happy with the red after about the first week. It fades even when you do everything right. :!

Ocean, this eyeshadow and more kit looks like fun. My personal favorites are made by Clinique and Bare Escentuals.

n3o, I will keep an eye out for that brand. :) Whatever I can't get here (unusual since I live in one of the world's great cities for shopping) I can almost always order. My current favorite for all things underwear/loungewear is aerie - www.aerie.com. Yes, it's American Eagle, big evil US corporation, but damned if they don't have the most comfortable underthings EVER.
 
I don't really have the money for department stores and some of the stuff other people do. I've thought Rimmel had some rather nice stuff last time I got some....
 
I don't know how many of you already know of this online gem, but I am completely enamoured with About Face Cosmetics.
They sell cheap cheap cheap mineral make-up for face and eyes that is easy to use and packs a huge punch, + extras like brushes and liners etc.

Example here [not my eye];

They've used liquid liner here as well as the pigments, but you get the idea.​

Each pot is US$4 for 3 grams, or you can spend US50c for a plastic baggy full of pigment that should last for around 5 applications. This is a great way to try out new colours you're not sure about - and oh boy, there's a looooot of colours! :D
Just ensure you use a primer underneath the eye pigments as they really need something to 'stick' to to really come out in their own.

Shipping rates are awesome, even to Australia. See here.

I just can't rave about them enough!!! So much cheaper [and imho, better] than MAC pigments.. is that blaspheme? ;):p
 
My mom just gave this to me. Its my new favorite thing to use in the shower.. So refreshing!The relaxing grapefruit-y smell lasts for HOURS after. (which I love...) It really moisturizes well and you can tell its chock full of quality stuff with a good amount of essential oils ...not like those mediocre scrubs that can be found just about EVERYWHERE you go. This is the best I've ever tried.

I love MAC make-up soo much, they have great highly pigmented eye shadows.. I forget how much they cost, but it's not too expensive IMO
 
mariacallas, that scrub looks yummy :) i love citrus smells. might have to do some shopping, im staying out of town with a friend this weekend and she loves TraderJoes.

COTB, good link!!! i have always wanted to try an eye pigment, but whenever i use other peopels i never seem to apply it right :! it just looks like a clown when i do it. Any suggestions for a subtler shade that compliments blue eyes?

To bring out your lovely blue eyes I suggest various brown shades, shimmery golds, greys, and even burnt orange/peach colors :) For a subtle color go for the shimmery golds and light browns
 
Blondie- I have been eyeing the MAC eyeshadow .......and foundation.
Thanks-I will have to try it out.
Have you tried their foundation?
I need something really pale and with a blue/green base- Most foundation has an orange tint on my skin and I can't stand it! MAC looks like they have some cool or neutral tones that may be light enough. Though a friend recently told me she tried it and it was orangish on her but she couldn't remember what color she tried....... ?
 
Almay have a range of eyeshadows specifically designed to play up your eye colour - here and here. They're great, and because they're Almay they're hypoallergenic.

I got this David Babaii "Bohemian Beach Spray" recently - giving my very straight hair a quick spray and then scrunching gives really good beachy waves, and it doesn't leave hair crunchy like lots of sea salt sprays. Highly recommended!
 
I tried the Almay one for green eyes years ago. I bought the eye pencil too.
I hardly use it. I still have it. I didn't like it as much as the basic browns I use.

I dont even need to put my usual baby cologne after I bathe..I smell good enough already :D

I also discovered a cheap secret a few months ago. When I visited this really great Indian supermarket , I purchased a huge bag of Lahori salt (apparently its what all the high end spas buy tons of to use in their treatments..) I use it on my whole body after soaping and rinse everything off. Extremely clean, soft and smooth skin after. Very cheap too! I spent less than a dollar for 3 kilograms of the stuff.
 
MariaCallas, I actually went to a Trader Joe's today and did not find it :( Sad. But maybe I'll look for it online. I did get some yummy organic blueberries tho :D

@ MAC or any department store that sells MAC products will let you sample anything you want, so they'll definitely help you find your shade.. I don't personally use their foundations, but I hear they're great and I know a lot of celebs love 'em too
