1. girl just go to green acres mall go to macys and go to the mac counter and ask them
2. I have one for nails: Use olive oil on your cuticles because olive oil is good for them [somehow] and it makes them soft and shiny! Also you should buff your nails to make them have a naturally shiny look to them. It makes them smooth, soft AND shiny!! Haha, hope that helps! =P
3. I use Bare Minerals make up. I get a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks and how natural my make up looks. My boyfriend didn't think I wore make up until he got really close to my skin! I swear by my remington wet-2-dry flat iron.
4. oh my god lol I'm a beauty freak! I swear by Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (about $3, Wallgreens!), Lorac Lipgloss in Mocktail ($18, Sephora), John Freida Frizz Ease Secret Weapon ($5, Wallgreens), and I love Biologe Shampoo and Conditioner. Also, if you have a pimple, putting a dab of toothpaste on it at night and sleeping with it on will make it disapear,I swear!
5. try and look like me!!!!!! well not if ur a girl lol
6. one for eye shadow: never put eyeshadow all the way around your eyes, it makes them apear smaller, and makes you look like a racoon.
7. Uhm...well: 1. Once a week I take an equal mixture of baking soda, salt and lemon juice and brush my teeth with it. [it makes them really white and dentist clean] 2. Once every two weeks I put a mixture of one cup mayonnaise and one cup beer [weird i know but it works] and it makes my hair REALLY soft and silky. [just make sure you get it all out!! i wash my hair like 3 times in a row after that] 3. Any time I have a pimple I put a little toothpaste on it at night and it disappears before morning 4. Before I put my make-up on I soak my face in ICE cold water to close my pores so that by the time my face goes back to its normal shade [it turns red from the cold temperature] my make-up isn't in my pores and doesn't turn cakey throughout the day. &&thats about it =] hope I helped.
8. Vitamine E stick!! I started using vit. E when I was pregnant with my son. It's great for wrinkles, zits, lip moisturizer, and stretch marks! I also use baby wipes to clean my skin. Also drinking water and taking a multi vitamine will keep your skin looking good. If you have reddish tones in your skin, egg masks work. hope some of these help!
9. umm.. too many pony tails makes ur hairline receded. i you dont really need proactiv or any of that expensive stuff... jus make sure u have a good exfoliant, toner and mosturizing lotion. St. Ives is really good. for two months out of the year, your nails need to breathe. so no polish, nothing, for two months. Queen Helene products are allll great. pat dry your face. if you cant get an exfoliant, brown sugar and a little cleanser is just fine. Tea Tree oil is the bestest thing ever when u wanna get rid of a zit fast. it's very strong so use a q-tip and dab a little. twice a week i use a face mask to get all the crap out. cocoa butter is good for getting rid of dark spots but u kno u gotta be very moderate when dabbing.
