Hey, come on in and let's chat about all things relating to hair, makeup and clothes!

What are your favorite looks and brands? Please no selling, just sharing your loves!

For me, I love bareMinerals and Urban Decay products. Other stuff too, but those are my two faves. And for clothes, well, I love to dress up in dresses and skirts, I recently discovered LuLaRoe, I'm going to a party tomorrow night, and I can't wait!

I'm so very dense when it comes to beauty products.... Maybe I could get some advice?

I need a good cleanser and moisturizer. I have like a 4 bottle process and it's killing me. I don't have time to wash, apply this spritzer crap, then an ointment (wait for it to dry), and then finally moisturize... It makes my face feel a little greasy, but if I don't do the whole process my skin is sooo dry and flakey! If I use the stuff several days in a row I start to break out in red bumps that are probably zits, but I wanna call them bumps it sounds nicer.

So what's a good product? I don't wear make up much at all btw.

I really love philosophy's products for cleaning and moisturizing. The cleanser I use is called Purity made Simple, and their most popular moisturizer is called Hope in a Jar. But I find I don't use a moisturizer very often, Purity leaves my skin soft and not dried out, then in the morning I use bareMinerals Complexion Rescue, which is a tinted gel moisturizer as my base.

Believe it or not, I also really like Neutrogena's cleansing towelettes. They take off all of my makeup and leave my skin feeling really soft and smooth. Nice thing about them is you can buy them almost anywhere, and they're not too expensive.

I live in southern Europe so I'm always at a lost with universal brands -_-

We mostly get Italian and German stuff here, with some more expensive international stuff here and there that anyone can rarely afford. I just usually use whatever seems interesting/is pale enough for my complexion (I swear to god I cannot tan no matter what I do, it's like my skin only has two settings; vampire and tomato).

Anyone know any brands with pale liquid foundation? Everything seems to look orange on me...

I know bare minerals has a very light color that is neutral. I don't know what brands might be available to you

I love love love anastasia beverly hills products!
As for my daily routine, I try not to wear make up everyday, so that i can let my skin breath. But i always alternate between a gentle exfoliating face wash and a moisturising face wash and then moisturise daily too

I don't usually wear much makeup, but when I do, I like to use the Play 101 sticks from Etude House
They are quick and easy to use and so light that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing any makeup at all!

I absolutely love lipstick! Nothing like a swipe of it to make you look fancy in five seconds flat

Revlon's "rosewine" color is my go-to, but I've also been having fun with my new(ish) tube of Kat Von D lavender lipstick. A friend of mine also gave me a tube of the same brand in a deep green, but I haven't felt brave enough to wear that one out yet...


Yeah I think I just need to get used to it. I always wear eyeshadow and do cat flick eyeliner, so sometimes it looks a bit much if I put on lipstick too One day I will be brave!

Revlon's Rosewine is a fantastic neutral color! I found a product that I love when I was getting Ipsy, it's called Meet Matt(e) Hughes, and it's a matt liquid lip color. It really stays put! I found I can buy it on Amazon.

I did like it I got several products that I really loved. I ended up canceling it because I couldn't afford it.

What primer do you guys use?

I don't actually use a primer I use Bare Minerals complexion rescue, it's a tinted gel moisturizer that works great as a primer. Then I use Laura Geller's balance and brighten powder foundation over the complexion rescue. It gives me a really nice finish

I do use Urban Decay primer on my eyes. it really makes eyeshadow last all day

I don't use any primer at all actually. Maybe I should lol. I just let nature take its course with my face throughout the day, which probably isn't good for making me look polished and put together. I should watch what other people say for suggestions :p


I have to use primer lol, if i just but foundation on my bare skin it just soaks into my pores and looks awful haha
