What are some good brands of makeup that will last for hours?
It all depends on what product (eye, lip, face, eye) you are looking for. I have found that Cover Girl has amazing eyeliners, but I strongly dislike their line of foundation/powder. So here's what I suggest from personal use:
- Loreal for liquid foundation
- Neutrogena for powder foundation
- Maybelline for eyeshadows & mascara
- Cover Girl for eyeliner
I can't suggest any lip gloss/lip balm products considering I don't wear them, but I'm sure MAC is a good choice, as well as Bonnebell.
i'm 15 and my boyfriend is 16. we've been going out for a year, tomorrow. is it wrong that i don't love him? i know that i don't. i like him, but i honestly don't love him. i know that he isn't 'the one' and i don't want to have sex with him at all, or any time soon. all of the poeple my age that have been going out for over 6 month are always together and claim that they love eachother. i don't. is it wrong, am i being a bitch? should i even bother with him, am i supposed to love him?
As long as he knows the truth & is fine with it, there's nothing wrong with having a relationship with someone you aren't head over heels for. On the other hand, if you are telling or leading him onto believe that you love him, then that would be wrong. Sometimes it takes a longer time to completely FALL for someone. Plus, you are only 15, so it's okay to take things slow for now & not jump onto the love wagon. My suggestion: if you don't see yourself ever learning to love him in the future, then don't waste either of your time. Eventually, he's going to get his feelings hurt if he tells you he loves you & you can't say anything back. If you see any hope for the future, have a talk with him. Tell him that although you have been going out for a long time, you aren't ready for it to become "serious." Explain your situation & hopefully he'll understand. Communication is important in the relationship.
hey i'm going to middle school next yer and i'm freaking what's going to happen between me and my friends. Are boys going to start likeing me and those school dances. I can't take it i'm so scared what's going to happen to me help please.
Oh honey, middle school is a piece of cake. Those were the carefree days! :) You'll meet plenty of new people (probably not nearly as many as you will in high school, but still a good amount). These days, some start dating as young as 6th or 7th grade, but it's definitely not something to be worried about. You have plenty of time to mingle with the boys, so concentrate on your grades & having fun with your friends. Just be yourself, make as many friends as you can, get involved & don't worry. I remember my first day of middle school & I had anxiety like no other. But by the end of your first day, you'll realize you had nothing to worry about. Middle school is fun because you're at the point where you're "growing up", but you don't quite have as much responsibility & stress as you do in high school. Enjoy your time there while it lasts. Before you know it, you'll be sitting at your high school graduation wondering how everything passed by so fast. :)
I did 1 thing in my past that I regret...lets just say im not really a virgin. But It wasn't my fault. And I wasn't raped, so. When my friends ask me "are you a virgin?"...I'm like stuck because I don't know what to say. If I tell them I am a virgin i would be lying, and if they find out i don't want them to get mad. But if I say I'm not they will think I'm some kind of slut and they will ask what happened, and I do not want to tell them....its personal.So?
You can either 1.) Tell the truth & say that you aren't, but you made a mistake in the past & consider yourself to be a "born again virgin." Or 2.) I know you said you don't want to tell them it's personal. But it is. & it's okay to tell them you aren't comfortable discussing the past with them! You don't need to explain your actions or worry about what they think. Everyone makes mistakes & some things (like your sexual history) don't need to be brought up unless you're in a serious relationship.
Can you tell me what time exactly do you wake up for school, and tell me what exactly you do to your hair before you go to school? Girls in my class looks exactly like you and I heard it takes a lot of work with make up and hair and stuff. One day this girl came in and her hair was pretty good but not really because she woke up late. I want my hair to look like them (long, naturally straight look, non frizzy) but that would be so annoying askign them THOUSANDS of what they do to them selves. Oh and the products you use too?
Hey, well I am not in school at the moment. (Graduated last May & taking a year off before starting college.) But, I do work every morning & since I prefer to take a shower in the mornings, I need a little over an hour to get ready. For my hair - I wash it, apply Matrix Sleek Look Smoothing System to my hair to reduce frizz, blow dry it (takes a ridiculous 15 minutes), & straighten it. My hair is already naturally straight, but it's less poofy & better looking when I go over it with a flat iron. After I'm done "styling" it, I use a little bit of S-Factor Dream drops to smooth it out even more. I've used quite a lot of products out there & I think those two are far the best. They're a little bit on the pricey side, but they're worth it if you do a lot of heat & dying damage to your hair like me. (Matrix is around $15-$20 depending where you go. & S-Factor is $30-$35 at Toni & Guy salons.) Also, make sure you have a good shampoo & conditioner. I use Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Shampoo & Conditioner. (For the big bottles they're about $26 each. They're $6 more expensive at the Toni & Guy salons - which is their line, so try to get them at any other salon that carries it.) If you want a less expensive brand, I suggest Pantene Pro V or Biolage products. :)
I would like some advice, if its weird or not:
Since ive been about 16 I have been getting these really strong feelings, about how I really want to become a mom. I mean is that weird, is there something wrong with me?
Actually, it's very normal. At a certain point, most (if not, all) women will fantasize & have a desire to start a family of their own. Right now, there's nothing wrong with wanting to become a mom someday. Just as long as you don't act on it until you are completely ready, then it's nothing to worry about. :)
HELP
tomorrow
i have a date type thing with my friends
and like yeahh
i have black slacks [pants]
and black flats [shoes]
WHAT COLOR SHIRT DO I WEAR
without looking weird
like gothish
Any color besides black (or other dark colors/shades) would look good. I suggest a pastel or light color (like pink) will brighten it up. :)
ok so i'm 13 almost 14 and my friend told me i need to get a vibrator or a dildp or something and i thought about it but how can i get one without my mom finding out and where????
You can purchase them at an adult store, but you must be 18+ in order to get into one. I'd suggest asking an older friend or sibling to buy it for you.
um..what's the deal with ripped jeans? I thought people wanted to wear something in style, not out of style! and it doesn't make you look tough or cool, it makes you look poor and home less!
Everyone has a different taste. Right now, that's just what happens to be "in style." I don't think those jeans will be in for much longer. Just dress the way you want, regardless of what everyone else is wearing. :)
Ok well I take a shower once every day after school (the time when every body mostly needs a shower) but recently I've developed a habit that all the girls in my class has, taking a shower in the morning.
It's great because I don't feel so grubby in the morning but it takes a lot of time because of my terrible poofy, frizzy, hair, and I don't put anything into it or straighten because I don't want to damage my hair, AGAIN.
But I'm like this huge tree huger in my school and I don't want to take a shower in the morning but it's so relaxing and my hair just looks so much better and I tried taking a shower in the morning b4 school every OTHER day but I can't because I'm obsessing to look good because I'm so shy in school and too shy about my looks because all the girl's in my class wears like jeans and brand name clothes and just looks PERFECT! help?
Don't feel pressured by the other girls. When you get out of school, you'll realize none of those things (brand names, status & appearance) mattered. Whats important is what makes you feel comfortable. If your hair is the only issue in the morning, try this: take a shower in the afternoon. Shampoo, condition & style your hair then. In the morning, put on a shower cap (so your hair doesn't wet) & jump in the shower for a quick scrub. That way you'll feel refreshed, but don't have to re-style your hair in the morning. If you rather wash your hair in the morning, then do that. There are products out there that'll help protect your hair & take away the frizz. Before blow drying or straightening, I suggest applying: MATRIX Sleek Look Smoothing System (orange bottle with a 3 on it.) Once you have blow dried, straightened, & styled your hair, apply S-FACTOR Dream Drops. My hair is also very damaged from heat & dying.. but these are the 2 products I use every morning that make my hair sleek, soft & frizz-free. :) Hope that helps. :)
omg! in your picture... your eyes look really pretty! they are so awesome!
aww, why thank you! :)
can you get aids from having sex on your period?
You can get AIDS while having unprotected sex at ANYTIME.
ok so i have kind of a hard time tanning [[in the sun]]. i can tan kinda ok-ish but during the summer im outside alot and if i could tan easily believe me id be sooo dark! also it fades REALLY quickly whenever i am kinda tan. well we're going to the beach a couple weeks after school ends so i was just wondering if i went to a tanning bed about twice a week [not to overdo it] for a month before the trip and got a base tan or whatever would i be able to tan easier in the sun since im darker?
and yes i know... sunscreen.
thanks!
Well, I can first say you are asking the right person. I'm the same as you - I don't tan well in the sun no matter how long I am out there. But tanning beds, I tan like no other. When you start going to tanning beds: you want to go about every or every other day during the first week or so until you get the color you want. I wouldn't only go twice the very first week because it takes awhile to see results at first if you don't go as often. (Typically, you want to go for about 15-20 minutes in a normal session. But they'll usually start you at 6 minutes at your first tanning session to see how your skin reacts to the beds. & eventually increase that time each visit.) To hold your color, you're going to want a very good indoor tanning lotion. Talk to the lady at the tanning salon & ask for a tingle-free tanning lotion that'll help you hold color. (Random tip: Shower/exfoliate before your tanning session. & avoid showering for a few hours after tanning.) At first, you don't want any lotion with self-acting bronzers. But when you start to get a color, try a tanning lotion with that bronzer in it. They aren't exactly "self tanners"; they're more subtle & bring out your tan if you have some color. Anyways, after the first week or two, you'll have that base tan & can maintain it by going twice a week. From experience, I've noticed that after getting a base tan from a tanning bed, I tan VERY well in the sun. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions regarding tanning beds, the tanning process or lotions, just let me know. I've been familiar with them for over three years. :)
Last night my best guy friend stopped by around 11 ish or so. Well, I ended up kissing him, dispite the fact he has a girlfriend. I've liked him for so long, and I just had to take a chance because I didn't want to keep wondering what would happen if I hadn't done it.
Well, now I'm not sure what to do. He seemed to like it, I mean he kept asking to stay for a couple more hours, and he invited me to hang out later today. But I'm kind of curious as to what I might expect. He told me he liked it, even though I totally caught him off gaurd.
But where should I go from here?
Should I wait and see what happens?
Or should I try to make another move?
I don't think it'd be wise to make another move. He has a girlfriend & if he truly liked you, he'd dump her & go for you. If he is willing to cheat on his girlfriend now, how do you know he wouldn't do that to you if you decided to date him? Have respect for yourself & go out with someone who wants you & only you. Continuing to see this guy behind his girlfriend's back is going to end in a fight & disappointment on your end.
I am going clubbing for the first time and i donn't really know what to do I don't want to feel left out, bored, and boring so how to keep the party going, fit in and have fun?
Stick with your friends, socialize, & be confident enough to get out there & dance and talk to new people. If you aren't bold & you're too shy, it'll be a lot more boring. I know I was skeptical about dancing in front of everyone the first time because I subconsiously wasn't comfortable with others watching me. But no one is there to judge you! If you just forget about what anything thinks & just dance with your friends, you'll have fun! They key is confidence. :)
I have keratosis pilaris and the dermatologist said that laying out in the sun for at least thirty minutes a few times a week would help. I have pale skin and I normally only go tanning in the summer. But where I live, it is getting warm enough so that I can go outside and tan for a little while finally.
I burn easily, so I'm not sure what the best type of sun tan lotion to get.
Does anyone know of a good sun tan lotion for my skin type?
Try Banana Boat tanning oil. It typically has a lower SPF, but it'll keep you from burning & will help you get a golden tan. :)
tonight im meeting my potential boyfriends parents!
i dont want to give them the wrong impression, but i dont want them to think im a prude or anything.
suggestions?
Aw, this can actually be fun! I don't think parents would mind if their son's future/current girlfriend was "prude." Infact, I'm sure they'd be more comfortable to see a conservative, classy young lady. You can start off in your wardrobe: don't wear anything too revealing, tight, or offending. Wear something reserved, but something within your style. When you meet them, smile, speak up & tell them "It's nice to meet you Mr. & Mrs. ___." Be respectful & polite & be sure to carry on a convesation. If you are unsure of what to say, you can ask a question or make a compliment. Have confidence when you speark; don't be too shy, but don't be obnoxious. When you leave, thank them for having you over. & most importantly, just be yourself. It's not as bad as you think. You'll do perfectly fine! Good luck! :)
I go with this guy who is totally sexual (lol) and of course i dont mind because, hey, I am too. And so me and him joke about stuff ALL the time, but nothing has actually happened, you know? I figured he'd be the guy who would kiss me faster than anyone, but nothing yet, because I know that he's alot of "all-talk" as people say, and really values togetherness and getting to know one another. I LOVE that about him, I love everything, but I think it's about time we had our first kiss, and I'm not sure how to go about it. It's not like either of us are shy, but I don't know what to do really.
I can actually relate to this. I'm also a very sexual person & I will make comments about things, but I don't necessarily act on them because I have a sense of respect (as he does). But like you said, he does seem to appreciate the other things that come along with the relationship, which is why he's not jumping onto anything right away. & it's okay if he's "all talk" because you want a guy who isn't after one thing. Since neither of you are shy, why not go ahead & make the first move since he hasn't already? If you really want to kiss this guy & he feels the same way about you, then just go for it! Guys like girls who are confident & are willing to make the first move. :)
The skin on my face is SO flakey and dry. Whenever I put my coverup on (liquid), it looks awful after about 2 hours. Loads of little flakes of skin literally come off whenever I touch my face. I apply a face lotion at night and even before I apply the coverup...but my face is always terribly dry. What can I do to cure this dry skin?
All I have to say is: Clinique Dramatically Moisterizing Lotion. I've had the same problems as you (having dry/peeling skin & trying to put on a foundation over it) & I tried that lotion & worked within seconds. I kid you not! I've never used a lotion that was soo incredibly amazing. For body lotion, try the Avon line. Their products work wonders as well. You will never have to buy any other lotion product again.
Hey. I'm 15 years old. I have never had a boyfriend, but guys have been interested in me...eh immaturity in guys sucks..but thats besides the point..totally diff. story ha. Basically, i'm scared to grow up & Be Alone. Not find somone out there for me. And turn into some cat lady. I know i'm young but i cannot picture myself being with anyone. Have you ever felt this one at one point or another? Help =[
You're not alone. But like you said, you're still way young. You have plenty of time ahead of you to worry about finding the right guy. & at your age, none of them are really that great anyway, so you're not missing out on too much! Give it some time & you'll have a boyfriend before you know it. You'll learn to realize that just because you have a boyfriend, doesn't automatically make you happy. You should never depend on a relationship or guy to fulfill part of you or make you happy. Learn to enjoy life, do the things you love & be happy on your own until that moment comes. :)
