Do you know if it is true that if you wash your hair in cold water it will make it shinier?
Have YOU tried it and does cold water make your hair shiny for real?
Thank you!
I rate! (link)

"Rinsing hair with cold water closes the cuticle, leaving a smooth, shiny surface. Blasting with cold air after a blow-dry has a similar smoothing effect, and most dryers have a cold setting for this purpose." - Bazaar Magazine.
This is true, the cold water is less drying than hot water. It's best to wash your hair with hot water, in order to get it nice and clean, then do a quick cold rinse on your hair to boost shine.

I'm thinking of rebuying all my makeup because its all at least a year old, so what does anybody recommend to buy that is not too expensive (eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow) (link)
|
Good idea! The bacteria that grows in makeup is so scary.
Eyeliner: Maybelline Define-a-Line Eyeliner $5.99
Mascara: Maybelline Lash Stilleto Mascara $6.79
Eyeshadow: Almay Intense Eye Color $5.99
All prices were at CVS, but they stay around this price range at most stores. Good luck on your makeup.

I live in a small town and there is only one shop that sells dresses. Now, I would like to have my promotion dress be different than everybody else's if at all possible in any way!
Can somebody tell me good places to shop for promotion dresses online? Maybe if I can find a really cute one I can order it and have it here in time. :-)
Thank you in advance! (link)

Here's a safe, totally legit website that I l.o.v.e.! :)

where can you get the shirts that say "feed marykate"? (link)
| |
Sorry, the site that was selling the t-shirts has went out of business and no one else sells them.

Thank you for answering my other question on mascara. I just have one more. When I put mascara on it never looks good, could you give me some tips on applying it? (link)
|
Hi! Here is a safe website that I checked out myself. It gives you info on mascara, plus tips and tricks to applying it.

I want to try dyeing my hair different colors, and I want to see which one really suits me as quickly as possible. So when you have nonpermanent haircolor, how long does it last? Can you just wash it out or does it wear off more quickly than the other ones?
Thank you for all your help!
PS even if you don't know all the answers please just give me your experiences with hair coloring. (link)
|
Hi, friend. This website is safe and it will tell you all about hair coloring in general and semi-permanent hair color -- I checked it out for you. :)

well i sorta have a hairy stomach and back. like you can see the hairs up close, but from far away its not noticable. like the hairs are light brown. anyways.. i'm wondering if i should shave the hairs off? or leave them on? Waxing is not an option.
If i shave it, will the hairs grow back darker and faster? like leg hair?
thanks! (link)
|
I have the perfect thing for you and it involves no shaving or waxing, and no pain! Use Sally Hansen's Hair Removal In-Shower. You just spray it on the areas you want to get rid of hair, and leave it on for 3 minutes (I believe, but always read the directions) and then you jump in the shower, and the hair comes right off!
However, I will tell you that the hair may not all come off and your skin will get red if you try to gently scratch it off with your fingernails -- so don't worry about it and the next day when you wake up, it will be all gone.
|
Right now I use garnier fructis and sometimes herbal essences lines of shampoos and conditioners. I pay about $3-4 a bottle for them, and I was just wondering if anyone uses the really expensive salon brands of shampoos and conditioners (that cost like ~$20 a bottle) notices a big difference between the cheap and expensive shampoos/conditioners?
I have wavy hair and i usually just scrunch it a little to give it a tousled look. Do the expensive brands (like maybe bedhead?) make your hair shinier or less frizzy than the cheap brands? Thanks. (link)
| |
Actually, I have found that the semi-cheap, regular brands work much better than the expensive ones -- in my experience. I use both Pantene and Head and Shoulders; I alternate. These two shampoos work wonders for my hair, and definitely frizz-free and shiny.
|
can anyone find this bag cheaper? I love it so much but its really expensive.

Considering it's from Macy's, they usually do not sal ehteir bags to other retailers. However, after awhile, they always have sales and bargains, so be sure to watch out for those. Also, you may find something similar at Payless or JCPenny's. Good luck!

say if youre somewhat fair complected and you were to go to a tanning bed around 2-3 a week for a month and then quit going (for health/safety & money reasons) about how long would that tan last? would it last just as long as a natural tan? (link)
|
I am not sure, however, I found this link for you that should be helpful.
http://www.ehow.com/about_5234746_long-tan-tanning-bed-last_.html
Also, here is a link to the tanning lotion I enjoy using. It's safe, no worries on your health (especially because it comes with SPF to protect your skin while in the sun!), and doesn't cost that much for what you get. :)

I am looking for a very specific bikini. Help?
Here's what I'm looking for: coral or pale pink bikini, possibly ruffle, and relatively cheap.
If you've seen a swimsuit like this anywhere please tell me what store. Or better yet a link.
I'm dying for this bikini. (link)

I tried to really envision the bikini you are dying for, and here is what I came up with. Best of luck, girl!

| |
Clean & Clear Blackhead Eraser is perfect -- it helped me get rid of my blackheads, I had them all over my nose as well and now, thanks to Clean & Clear, they are all gone. :)

how do i get a hot middle scool boy to like me?? (link)
|
Well my friend, this is what I tell everyone who asks me a questions about "getting a guy to like you..." You cannot "get" or "make" a guy like you, he either does or does not. However, by being yourself and being friendly and sweet, that will show off who you are as a person and he will either take to you as a friend or as more than a friend.
My advice is for you to talk to him at least once daily at school, even if it's just a "Hey, how are you?" type of conversation. Any communication is great progress and you need to become familiar with talking to him, if you have not already. Take good care of yourself, wear clothes that fit you well but are not tight and clothing that is appropriate because he will respect you for that. Speak to him nicely, as always, and just be yourself and show off your personality -- that will be how you will find out if he just wants to be your friend (which is great in itself) or if he'd like to be something more (which is great also!).
Just play it by ear girl and things will work out. Even if he doesn't like you as more than a friend, you are sure to have a good friend in general. :) Best of luck!

Where can I find flat leather boots that are relatively cheap ($100 and under)? (link)
| |
I recommend Payless, they always have a wide selection of boots and they are definitely under $100.

k so i was a basketball manager last winter and i always see the guys with these tight undershirts on under their basketball uniform. theis undershirt is extremely tight and makes their muscles look bigger. the ones taht they wore were sleevless. are these spandex shirts or wife beaters? thanks (link)
| |
Previous columnist is correct, it is their under armor. However, I have another addition to what they could be -- Spanx, haha. They have now started selling Spanx for men in t-shirt form, so they may be using those as well, haha.

where can i get glasses like this (not necessarily this color)? http://twitpic.com/1746xf (link)
| |
I am not entirely sure, but "www.gojane.com" has a large selection of glasses similar to these. Good luck, friend. :)

I saw this dress, does anyone know where I can find/buy it at
http://tinypic.com/r/34e818m/6
http://tinypic.com/r/309jztv/6
Sorry I know you can't really tell what it looks like, but It's open in the back and has studs on the front.
I saw one similar at GoJane.com, but it's definitely not the same. If anyone knows where I can get please let me know.
Thanks (link)
| |
Please don't quote me on this one, but I do believe I saw a dress similar at Forever 21 -- however, I am not sure that it is the actual dress you are looking for. Good luck, friend. :)

What size curling iron would I need to achieve hair like the one in the picture? Keep in mind that I have long, but very thin hair.
