Q: when you say that you should wear somrthing you like not wear it cause its in style ....thats really wrong...i was always told beauty takes pain....you have to keep track with the latest styles or not everyone will be walking around still in the 80`s or 70`s ......
if you like the fourties, fifties, sixties, seventies, or eighties...then be in tha era. who cares what people have to say. be undeniably youuu.

Q: I can never find jeans that are right for me. I have large hips, but I'm short and I have small tighs and a small butt. My jeans are always too big or too small. Does anyone know a store where I can find jeans that would fit someone like me? Websites would be nice.
try the brand "angel" or "angels" (i forget if there's an 's'), you can find that brand in target, kohls, and most department stores

Q: heyy i'm 15 and i have brown eyes and a light skin complexion and i was just wondering ..how should i do my make-up and what make-up should use ? i'd REALLY appreciate the help. i rate 5's for good advice! thanks
ok for your eyes, go for a light pink or neutral brown, maybe with some sparkle, not too much, and not too much pink, because it can look like pink eye. and then simple brown mascara and brown eyeliner (if you dont need both, dont use both) and only use eyeliner on the bottom, and you probably wont want too dark of a blush if any, maybe a vary pale, rosy pink, unless your cheeks are naturally red, and for lips, go with a slightly coloured gloss, unless you think you can pull off a bold lipstick(most teens cant though) and then you should be good, you can vary anything here, these are just suggestions. and you can probably find these colours in N.Y.C. brand makeup, which i LOVE because you can find it at most convenient stores and it is cheap but good, and they have everything, including nailpolish, make-up, applicators, etc.


go get beautiful.


p.s. dont rate before you try it.♥

Q: hey!i have circles,and i now that if i didnt have dark circles,i would look great!i really want to know,from users out their,(or expeirienced people,or anyone who knows anything about it!)what is a great cream to removes them?i also wanted to know what are some great concealers?!thank you so much!

(ps-im not going to rate you low if you give a bad answer,if you try you will get a 3-5! :])
im not sure what any creams/gels would be to remove the circles, but great cover-up brands are clinigue concealer and mary kay, cligue is sold in most depertment stores and marykay is a private company so you have to know someone in that business.

hope i helped. go get gorgeous!

Q: ok i am 13/f and i have dark circles under my eyes they aren't really really bad but i was wondering is there any way to get rid of them without using make up
nope, you need make-up unfortunetly. just a few dabs of foundation should do. sorry to disapoint.

Q: I really want a gorgeous corset that can be worn with jeans or nice trousers. there's plenty of sexy lingere ones but does anyone know where to get day/evening wear corsets in the U.K?

thank you x
www.hottopic.com, dig around there, theres loads of cute ones, but i dont know if they ship to the UK, sorry if not.

Q: I am East India so my hair is very very dark. A few months ago, I streaked it copper. I want to try to temporarily change my hair colour (I'm partial to reds) but I'm not sure if it will show. I used a red Colourpulse last time but it tinted my -highlights- redder (just by a bit, though) and I want a more dramatic colour.
Usually, at the side of temporary colour boxes, there is a sample of before/after hair and the darkest shade sampled is "dark brown" which isn't really dark brown, it's more light brown if anything.
Is there a shade in Colourpulse, Colourflirt, or any other dye that washed out in 8-12 shampoos that I can use? Is there any technique that will make the shade deeper?
a way to get deeper colour that i use is to leave the dye in about 5-10 minutes longer than it says to, but no longer than that(it might damage your hair) so say the dye stays in for 30 minutes normally...try and leave it on for 35-40.

this works for me so it might work for you, it all varies from person to person.

good luck

Q: Ok well I just gauged my ears, theyre 18s I guess? That is what the person said. So I was wondering what that meant? I don't understand the differnce. And also, why are they so small?! Normally they are huge and when I told the guy I wanted to gauge my ears he gave me these. Somebody help I am really confused.
Thank you in advance!
Sarah
ha ha.

a normal earring is size 18, and the bigger you go the lower the number (18->16->14->12, and so on) but you have to start with normal(18) and then go step by step, 16 first, then 14.....

if you want to skip sizes you can but it will hurt, alot.

when you see those huge ones on other people, the are most likely plugs, and those people have stretched the hole enough to fit them, you cant fit that just yet.

Q: alright so there is a black and white party coming up
and i want a black dress

any cute websites to find them?

i want it mid thigh, and flowy .. black ofcourse

i need help as soon as possible

thanks!
http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&M=1690254062&ITEM=224990 thats pretty, or just look at all the dresses on that site, but some wont work for what you want.

good luck.♥

Q: should you blow dry your hair before you straighten it er let it dry naturally??

thanks!!
if you have the time let it air dry, too much heat(hot air from blowdryer+hot straightener) on your hair harms it, so IF you have lots of time let your hair air dry before straightening.

Q: Does Old Navy have their flip flops in right now?
im not positive, i havent been there in a while....but you can order them offline at -www.oldnavy.com.-


hope i helped.

Q: I wanna get the side-swept bangs hair cut and I was wondering something..

Do you personally think it's better to have the bangs on the right or left side? Like, which do you think looks better?

It'd also be nice if anyone had good pictures of the haircut (of yourself or famous person or anyone) cause I wanna see some :)

Thanks!
well i have mine on my left and i think its better...dont ask why. if you want to see some pictures go to www.myspace.com/thatsswell and click on see more pictures under the default one...they are a little weird but thats just me. i think there might be an okay one to see my bangs...but my hair is really short and you might not want that.

hope i helped. maybe. a little.

Q: This is going to seem really ridiculous, and I am sorry for asking such a stupid question. I'm too insecure for my own good sometimes, I think.
I'm meeting my boyfriend for the first time ever in 3 days time and we're picking him up at the airport really early in the morning. I want to look my best for him. I never look really good in the mornings; so I'm just wondering where there's anything I can do the night before to make sure I wake up and look and feel nice and fresh. Is there any creams or exfoliation that i should use for my skin, or anything? Should i get up early? Thanks.
just make sure you get plenty of rest and dont stress out...stress zits are the worst! but other than that dont do anything totally new because the is a very high chance of having a bad reaction to a new cream/mask/etc. and then you really wont look too nice.

hope i helped.

Q: how do i applie makeup so it looks good but my parents still can't tell i am wearing it?
thanks:D
you cant. if your parents dont see it. no one will.

just put it on after you leave your house or something.

Q: how can i buy or get makeup with out my parents knowing that i have it?
well get a friend or someone to buy it for you and pay them back...just dont let your parents find it or see you wearing it...be sneaky maaaan! haha

Q: i died my hair and it was suppose to be dark brown but it came out as dark dark black.. my natural hair is black but my hair now looks 10 times worse ...my question is what can i do to make it lighter again... if i die it again will it work ? and
well if you are gonna dye your hair a lighter color then what it is now then you have to bleach it first, so bleach it, dye it again(the brown you wanted) and fwalah, there you go.
