The Girly Thread

Hey, they might be giving away free makeup. Im not sure when or where or how but the news was saying that there was a class action lawsuit against some cosmetic companies for illegally keeping prices up so to settle the lawsuits they might give away free makeup. Im a bit peeved cause the news made it seem like they would tell me how but after the commercial break that is all it said. So Im still left to wonder where and when. All I know is that it will be first come first served type thing. I NEED TO KNOW!!! I want free makeup!

lol, illegally keeping the prices up on make-up? OMG! you mean, they overcharge???!?!?! behold, this is my face of shock.

(alright, i hate that make up is so expensive too, and would gladly accept freebies, but.... can't they charge whatever they damn well please? capitalism and all?)

Thats all the news would tell me, it was only a 15 second blurb. I wanted them to tell me when and where and how but all they told me was who and what. Tottally sucked!

I do agree with the whold capitalism stuff but Im sure there was something more to it.

GAH! That is sooo wrong! ok, this is a Girly Alert:
Whomsoever finds anything out about the free makeup needs to post it ASAP!!!

I get this Makeup of the month thing, they mail me makeup everytime I pay off the last thing they sent me. Its like a $20 package once a month or so, with applicators, face creams and cleansers and regular makeup, lipsticks and eyeshadows and stuff. I dont always use it all, sometimes I give some or all of it away, but its still really fun to get stuff in the mail and sometimes I find stuff I'd never otherwise find. Down side is once its gone, I can never find it anywhere. ~shurgs~

ok girls, i've got a question. lately, the fact that the central region of my face (nose, inner cheeks, chin) is always reddish has been bugging me. i can't figure out why though. it's not blemishes...except my chin, but that's another story. maybe it's dryness? or maybe it is blemishes,but if so they're TINY. but since i don't tend to wear foundation or powder to even out my complexion, this is recently been bugging me A LOT, because i don't want to have to start wearing more make up, i rather clear this up. any ideas?

also, my chin has been plagued with tiny little blackheads from the beginning of time (as far as i'm concerned). any tips for ridding myself of the fiesty devils?

hmm I get red as an englishman in spain sometimes, I hate that! I just bear with it. I have no solution, except maybe cold water tones it down and plenty of sleep. Maybe you just need more beauty sleep.

[epiph]

knowing my sleep patterns, you're probably correct...

[Amelia]

my nose and cheeks are red too, I just think thats how my skin is. I bought some conceler and its green and it makes the red go away its also good for zits too. Then I put foundation over it.

[epiph]

i may have to do that...i was just hoping there was some make up less way...

hrrmm if you have a spa-ish place nearby have a facial done, but remember to look around for a decent price and all. They tell ya lotsa neat stuff about your skin! Also they can help with idea's on how to help with the reddishness if it can be helped and all sorts of stuff...

If you get a good one they'll even suggest products that they don't even carry, (and that are much cheaper than the ones they do)

[epiph]

actually, my mom works is a dietician at a resort and gets discounts on spa treatments...i was thinking about a facial when i get back...but i've yet to have a facial that's actual done something about the blackheads i've had since the beginning of time, but for the reddness...hmm...

[Amelia]

If you do get one done, let me know how it turns out. Maybe if it works for you it could work for me!

i know this is weird...but lever 2000 is the best thing on earth to use. I have the most oily face on the planet, genetically. But my Doctor told me last year to just use lever 2000 and a wash cloth, then twice a week to use some randome kind of exfoliate (I like the St. Ives stuff). Most of my blackheads are gone, and it sucks up oil like crazy! Plus, those once a month breakouts (ugh) arent nearly as bad (which sucks..because that was the only way I ever knew it was time to go tampon shopping. I'm horrid with keeping track on a calendar. LOL).

Also, carry babywipes in your school bag or purse. After you eat or if you get at all sticky from the heat, wipe your face down with one. Its amazing how much dirt your face picks up just from walking from the car to your office. Now.if you where make up..obviously it will wipe the makeup off..but..if you dont..it's perfect.

I have dry skin.

Also, I cant use baby wipes! I used them so often in Kuwaitt that I cant stand the smell of them!
