Wasn't me. The yeast meds make your hair not grow?? Or wait...makes it grow?

Why are people trying these things out in these strange ways??



I've always HATED that about MAC's site. Even after they revamped it, their swatches suck.

You know you will not get an arugment from me about the MAC site. I could not even get to them to complain...by the time I did the product already arrived.

CR you asked why are people using these product for strange things and I think and here again I could be wrong MAYBE the original person who tried them out is into reading and comparing ingredients or perhaps a chemist and can tell that some of these products have a crossover application. ANNNND that is enough deep thought for me today. Now back to being frivolous and supperficial. As well as facing the ultimate degridation trying to find a bathing suit.

Oh, I did that last week. I ordered 4 from Newport News. I only want/need one. I ordered four.

My thought is that I shall return the ones I don't like.

I've been getting my suits from Venus the last couple of years. I have 3 now and I like them a lot. Great prices!!!

Ladies, I'm hoping one of you can help me.

I saw the monistat as a primer thing, and I'm definitely going to try that.

Lately my face is SO oily. I don't wear makeup all day although I do wear it some days. I use cetaphil to wash my face. I have a SPF-15 moisturizer I've been using. I just don't know what else to do. Any ideas please?

My skin is dry so I'm sorry I'm no help, but I just had to comment.......That photo in your signature is so cute!!!

I don't remember who I was "discussing" this with, but I FINALLY got my MAC order which included several lipglasses and a plushglass. Gotta say that I really like them. Not as much sting as the Buxom and not quite as sticky, but still sticky - Hubby will NOT kiss me while wearing these.

One thing - the colors in real life look nothing like the swatches on their stinky website so you really have to go by the written description. I'm happy though and may try some more when and if there is another sale/coupon.

Just clear something up for me if you can. Are you saying that the Buxom gloss is very sticky? I haven't tried it yet but I'm getting ready to order one.

I do not know if any of you are in need of anything lol but I found a really great comaprison website when I was looking for my bathing suit today. It is www.thefind.com it compares tons of stores to help you get the lowest price. My bathing suit was 148 at Nordstroms but since they price match it they gave it to me for 118...not great but a necessary evil that I have to buy. Saving 30 is better than a sharp stick in the eye....of course if I had got the dam thing when I saw it at Marshalls it was only 39!!! LIve and learn. It is a Miraclesuit ....I darn well better see a miracle when I put it on. I am sure it will make me look like Angelina.........when she was pregnant!

Well, ladies..... I think I have to turn in my membership card to the Monistat Faces.

I only wear makeup 1-3 times a week, depending on if I am feeling up to leaving the house for a while. Usually, it is more like just 1 time. But, I have been using the Monistat since we started talking about it a couple months back - LOVED it at first.

Now I have noticed that my pores on my nose are SUPER clogged at the end of the day. Even after using scrubs and toners, it is still really bad.

I really liked how it helped my foundation stay put, but the pore thing is killing me.

Ok ladies, I am sorry, but I just can't read all 100 and somethin pages to see if anyone has answered this question - so here goes.

I wear Everyday Minerals (Thanks CathrynRose ) I do concealer, then the semi-matte foundation, then the finishing powder. I top everything off with a spritz of water (very fine mist spray pump) Face looks great, lasts a long time - love it.

Except - I have makeup all over my phone, and all over my camera (when I use it) Is there something else I can be doing to keep the makeup off the electronic, or do I just suck it up and continue carrying cleaning clothes?

 

[wdwnut4life]

cleaning cloths. also use a cover 4 yr ipod

You know, I just have a thing with the sticky lips from glosses so it's most likely not as sticky as I think it is, but yes, to me, it's sticky. Like I can tell I have gloss on and that kind of stingy sensation (I guess it's the plumping action ) never goes away until the gloss is off.

That being said, I used the Buxom fairly often but my preference is for just a nice lipstick with no sticky feeling.

Funny you should mention it, I was looking at my pores in a 10x magnifying mirror today to see if the monostat was hurnting them but there was no problem at all. I do use the Philosophy microdermabrasion treatment once a week and on occasion I use cetephyl and baking soda as a scrub. Do you have oily skin? Do you use a moistureizer under the Monostat?

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

forgot to ask, is anyone here a bzzagent? I am and they are doing a campagian for CoverGirl LIp Stain. Not a big deal but I get a free one and then spread how I feel about it word of mouth. If you are not a bzzagent sign up for it. They let you try lots of products for free and then you are supposed to write about them.....I do it once in a while but it is no hassle. I noticed lately the campagians were for more health and beauty type things although I have gotten a gallon of paint, eucerin lotion, candy, and too many things to even remember ice cream, light bulbs, ...and tons of coupons.

bzzagent.com if you want to sign up for it. I will now write up my report and tell them how I bzzed to hundreds of people. LOL ...I bet you all cannot wait till I tell you if I like the lip stain.

 

[sorcerormickey]

Do you have oily skin? Do you use a moistureizer under the Monostat?

I have combination/normal skin. Oily in the t-zone, normal elsewhere. I do use moisturizer under the Monistat. I use a daily face scrub and have added in a 2% BHA toner to help unclog the pores, but nothing is really helping. I read on the MUA reviews that several people have had the pore-clogging problem with Monistat.

wow that is pretty scary ! I have been checking this out for a while but as yet no problem. I am going to my dermatologist on 20th so I will check it out with him.

OK I'm going to answer one of my own questions. I have been trying to find out if people prefer Stila smudge pots or Smashbox eyeliner pots. IMO STILA!!!!!!!! I am on day 2 of my Stila smudge pots and I like it a lot better. It is easier to apply (which could be the brush) and it stays in place better.

Yeah - I dont care for the Smashbox ones.

However - I found my self mixing the Stila black, bronze and gray each time I used it. Black was too black, gray was too gray, bronze was too bronze.

So - I had an extra Pot from my MAC Blacktrack that was empty. I mixed the 3 of them together, along with MAC Dipdown.

I have a perfect color eyeliner now.
