Hey, i love the smell vanilla, and i really wanted to find a perfume that smells really good, and like vanilla. I usually bounce around between lavendar and Sephoras Pink Sugar, and some VS scents, btu i want to find one that will really stick. Not too expensive please, like i dont mind sephora prices, but nothing over that. Thanks (:

Bath and Body Works has a really yummy smelling Warn Vanilla Sugar body spray and the scent lasts all day. Their prices are really cheap too!

There's also Dark Vanilla by Coty, Vanilla Fields Winter by Coty, Britney Spear's Fantsay, and Victorias Secret Vanilla Lace body spray.

*Hope I helped!

How do i persude my parents to let me become scene/emo?I mean i've tried every way possible it seams but they wont have it!!!

Do one thing at a time. Buy a "emo" braclet on week, and a shirt the next week. Keep buying 1 or 2 things a week and maybe it won't bother your parents. If you went from how you are now to "emo" in a very short time it may freak your parents out.

I have had my hair highlighted blonde 2 times before.MY friend recnetly did it for me and it turned out fine but i wanted it slightly lighter. SO last night i decided to die it again and its come out ginger!! i really dont no what to do my parents say im paranoid but im really not its pretty bad! its turned a carrot orangy colour, it looks so cheap. parents said you'll have to learn from that mistake and let it grow out my hair is shoulder lengh. I asked if i could buy a colour removing kit but they wouldnt let me as it damages your hair badly, but anything it better than this!! i really dont no what to do im not aloud to die it anymore either!! i use to be known as the girl whch lushious hair but im dredding going back so school.. sad i know.. please help!! its making me depressed!!

This is going to sound odd, but it worked for me.
*WARNING*- This will dry your hair out, but it is fixable.

You take Dawn dish soap and apply it to your dry hair coating all of it. Take a shower cap and put it on your head. Let it sit for around 35-40 minutes.
*Optinal*- may use blow dryer to speed up process.
Rinse all of the soap out then use conditioner.

i have to use waterproof mascara cause i curl my lashes and if i use normal mascara, the lashes wont stay curled.. so when i try and take off my mascara, it takes a really long time and its like me pulling off my lashes. so what so i do to make mascara come off easier? or better yet, should i put anything on before i put on the waterproof mascara on the lashes so it could come off easier?

I use waterproof mascara also and I usually just use a make-up remover specifically for eye make-up. If you have tried that and stil no luck, baby oil also works. Just put some on a cottonball, close your eyes, and wipe. Be sure not to get any of it in your eye though!

what brand the best kind of coverup? i need a liquid and a powder...right now i have covergirl (the powder and the concealer stick) and its not working the absolute best...it doesnt really cover what i want to cover, and its almost empty anyway:P
if you could provide links to pictures that would be great then i would know what im looking for.
PS i have sensitive skin thats easily agitated.

Well for concealer I use MAX Factor

Sorry about the generic picture, lol.
For liquid foundation I use Loreal Paris Visible Lift. It works really well. And for powdered i'd just stick with the Cover Girl. Also you mentioned that you have sensitive skin. Almay is a line of hypo-allergenic make-up products made for people with that type of skin.

Usually I try not to wash my hair everyday because it really dries it out but lately I find that the next day my hair is really flat and it feels really greasy even though it may not appear to be.

Do you know of any hair styles other than the ponytail, braids and buns that I can use for days like that?

What are some products that keep your hair looking fresh and feeling great or to help prevent this?

Thanks

Ok this isn't really a hairstyle, but it's a trick. Take some baby powder (not a lot) and sort of rub it on your roots. Then comb it through your hair. It will absorb the grease.

whats a good conditioner for somebody with dry hair and split ends

Dove Advanced Care for dry hair. It has Sheer Moisture for hair with symptoms of dryness and will help your split ends. It comes in a light blue bottle.

whats the point of these weird headbands ppl dont even use to hold up hair from covering their eyes? http://pics.livejournal.com/rawrxnikki/pic/0003h5zc/s320x240

A lot of girls at my school use them because they have bangs that are too short to fit in a pony tail. It's an easy way to keep them out of your face without tucking them behind your ears.

what does getting your ears pierced feel like?

Well there are 3 ways to get it done. If you pierce them yourself with a needle or safety pi...ect it hurts about a 9 on a scale of 10. If you perce them yourself like I did(stupid I know) you pierce slower and can feel it go through. not to mention the chance of them getting infected. Getting them done professionaly with a gun doesn't hurt that bad but there is a good chance of them getting infected. Gettiing them done professionaly with a needle hurts about a 5. They can be properly sterilized so there is a low chance for infection.

I've seen Sheer Cover on TV, and it looks amazing. Does anyone use this makeup? I would like to know if it's worth the money before buying it. Thanks!

I had it and it was amazing. First I thought it was a scam, until my mom got it for me. It evened out my skin tone and covered the blemishes. It's definately worth the money!

i'm 16/female and i want to "jazz" up my style. i have very straight hair that doesn't hold a curl that is just past shoulder length in layers as well as some long side sweep bangs. i use bare minerals make up and usually only wear foundation and some blush. i have black framed glasses. i usually wear tshirts or sweaters with jeans and converses. what are some simple things i can alter my appearance with to make me look better? and what kind of clothes should i shop for to add to my style. (i can't wear skirts because i play cello) thanks!

Well you try out contacts and see how you like them. Instead of trying to curl your hair you could scrunch it, or wear it in french braids. As for clothes get some skinny jeans and flats. Cardigans are really cute this time of year. You can dress up an outfit with some big hoops, or dangeley earrings. Big bold and brightly colored necklaces can spice up and outfit. For make-up you could start to wear some eyeshadow and mascara. I reccomend Lash Perfection by MAX Factor. If you line you upper eye close to the lashes it will make your eyes look bigger. Hope I helped!

Ok after you wash your hair towel dry it so it's damp. Brush it with a wide-toothed comb. Take some mousse, but not too much and grab a section of hair and "scrunch" it sorta hard. You can use gel too but not a lot. Then finish by spraying your hair with hairspray. Hope I helped!

I recently fully realized that my wardrobe is a bit sparse. So I want to shop to fill it up. These are the clothes I already have:
-Black Roxy skinny jeans.
-Dark canvas skinny pants.
-Medium-wash whiskered low-rise designer Levi's.
-Ralph Lauren white turtleneck.
-American Eagle black and cream pleated mini.
-AE pink henley sweater.
-Burgundy Deb cable-knit pull-over.
-Plaid short-sleeved ruffle Delia's button-down shirt.
-Tight cerulean blue Gap skinny jeans.
-Free People grey-taupe lacy vest.
-Zip-down 3/4 sleeve black sweater.
-AE purple plaid oxford.
-AE dog-pattern grey sweater-vest.
-Pea green lacy spaghetti-strap tank.
-Long grey cardigan.
-H&M dark pink tunic.
-Pink argyle sweater.
-Dark grey plaid walking shorts.
-Urban Behavior plaid short shorts.
-Cream and blue striped spaghetti-strap tank.
-Tommy Hilfiger plaid riding boots.
-Steve Madden black Mary-Janes.
-Pink ballet flats.
-Coach bag.
-Tommy Hilfiger blue pleather tote.
-Antique pearls (real).

I have a clean preppy style and like to get really high quality clothes cheap. (I get my stuff from Marshall's and TJ Maxx, and other things off clearance racks.) My favorite color is navy. If anyone could give me clothes that I should have in my wardrobe that mostly can be worn in most seasons (I wear winter clothes in summer and vice versa) that would be great. (Except for shorts, etc. of course.) Thanks so much.

American Eagle has some really cute polo's. They had a lot of cute hoodless sweaters. Aeropostale has all-over print long sleeve and short sleeve tops. Hollister has a lot of long and short sleeved knit type shirts in lots of bright colors. You should get some uggs to go with your skinny jeans. Pearl (real or fake) earrings to go with your necklace.
