Q: i got my tongue pierced about 2 hours ago and the spit glands under my tongue havent stoped producing saliva since. i have to swallow or spit every couple of seconds. is it just because im not used to it or what?
I've had a tongue piercing myself and it is normal to feel the urge to swallow more frequently. It will be the object of your focus for a couple of days, but you should be fine soon. As long as there is no abnormal swelling that is making it difficult for you to breath or any steady bleeding...you should be fine after a few days.

Q: So i recently sold almost alllll of my shirt(keep in mind that I had a lot...), meaning I made about $400! Anyways, I didnt really like my wardrobe then, because I really only like to wear my Ed Hardy, Free People, and BCBG shirts (which I probably have about 5 of each)
Anyways, I decided I'm going to buy a completely basically new wardrobe, and so I will be buying mostly these brands, but what are some other good name brand shirts I could get? Just shirts-I'm set with jeans. (By the way, money isn't too much of a problem because Ive got friends that can get me big discounts at places like bloomis and such)
Thanks :)

Let me know if you need anything more ; )

Q: I would love to wear blush, lipstick and eyeshadow that look flattering on me.. but I'm not really into the whole trial and error process anymore.

Any tips with colors? I'm not sure what you'll call my skin tone.. a light olive? I've gone through about 3 shades of blush and many of eyeshadow. It just looks SO odd.

I really want lipgloss/lipstick because I can't really carry vaseline around in my pocket. I would also like to look nice for some job interviews so yeah.

I can't ask for help at a department store because they will test out products and it's like $60 for the makeup artist.
If you have a light shade of skin than most colors would probably show up on your skin, but you have to buy eyeshadows that are well pigmented. Maybelline eyeshadows are well pigmented as well as nyx and mac shadows. For lipgloss covergirl has a lot of different neutral shaded ones in their wetslicks collection. Depending on your eye color there are certain colors that will bring out your eyes more. You should really go to either a Sephora or Mac store and let them give you a free consultaion and they will be able to help you with colors that fir your skin tone. I went for one and it is free of charge and now I have the right color for foundation and they will show you exactly what they used on you so that you can create the look at home. One last thing, I don't think that there are too many rules as far as the color eyeshadow you can wear, but using a good primer for your eyes will make a big difference in the way your shadw looks and how much the eyeshadow lasts. I do a lot of research on makeup so if you need any tips on what makeup looks are right for job interviews, day time look vs. night out look etc. just ask. ;)
