:) Cool, thanks, I'll have to look into actually investing in one, it sounds interesting, I'm still not sure how much I like the idea as far as gross factor goes, I'm sure its not as bad as I'm making it out to be though, no worse than anything else I use, I guess.

I'd read around on it to familiarize yourself with it before you get it. I found that helped me out tremendously as far as different ways to put it in, taking it out, cleaning it, etc.
 
About the cups... I was using them for more than a year. Unfortunately, I over-sterilized my last one and it burst into flames because I left it on the range for more than an hour. By accident.

So be careful when you're cleaning them. They are expensive to replace!

I microwave/boil water and put it all in a coffee cup, or I probably would've torched mine, too. :\
 
ok girls, im guessing this has been covered before and i sorry in advance, but theres lots of pages. :)

whats the best way to get rid of little tiny bumps on the skin, im assuming pimples? some look like em, but most look like tiny pinkish dots. i have dry skin, and i think the main reason being is b/c i dont use lotion enough. i do occasionally when i get outta the shower but most of the time i hate the way my skin feels afterwards and all i wanna do is get outta the bathroom and put on clothes.

preferably i would not like to spend an arm and a leg on whatever, so a cheap generic version would be preferred. TIA ladies. :D
 
JV, are they on your face or just arms and whatever? Either way, I usually use Aveeno lotion. There's store brands now, too, so you don't have to spend an arm and a leg. They have face lotion that's not too greasy, as well.
 
what i always use:
infallible foundation l'oreal - great coverage and lasts a long time
orgasm nars blush - best colour
fluidline mac - an easier to apply liquid liner that doesn't smudge
st ives apricot scrub - smells so good
and ofcourse, the venus razor - finally a razor for women that actually cuts hair
 
got my diva cup right before my period. i wore it to work today with no problem and emptied it when i got home. i found it a lot easier to maneuver than i imagined.

i also got a few lunapads to wear as backup just in case. they're nice and soft and no bulkier than a pad, which i don't ever wear.

so far it's been a good experience!
 
ok, i am backtracking from my previous stance on bare minerals. i freaking love it now. my skin looks fabulous all the time, it never feels like i am wearing makeup, and it seems to last when it didn't before. perhaps my skin wasn't in as good of a condition and more splotchy from my usual makeup, but since i have been using this it has been beautiful.

two thumbs up!
 
^On a similar topic, has anyone tried any other brand of the powder foundation similar to bare minerals? I know like every brand out there is now making similar stuff, has anyone tried it? Does it work as well as bare minerals? I'd like to try and switch to something cheaper, bare minerals is so expensive, but I love it!
 
DM, are you using the primer and finishing with mineral veil?
It does make a difference as I have run out of both in the past.

I tried saving money on face primer. I bought Revlon Face Primer and it smells like ASS.
 
they are AWFUL pictures, lol but they show my style, i guess..

as an aside, i dont trust victoria's secret. they always look great but so far i haven't had any luck with their clothes.. too much fabric with both skirts and dresses that i've had from them
