Please rate me too `=D

advice

What are some bras that are very well padded and/or are push-up bras?

I'm a 34A and I'd like something that really enhances my bust size and cleavage.

To find the perfect push up bra for you, I'd recomend going to Madenform. They have friendly assistants who can help you find the bra that fits your needs. They also have plenty of selections and colors. Also, you could try Kohls, they cary Wonderbra, which really makes wonders happen.

Hey guys.

I really want to start wearing heels with my outfits..but I don't really know any heels that go with outfits that are affordable and are in reach (i.e. macy's, nordstroms, penny's.) Links to websites that have outfits with high heels in them would be nice.I already have a pair of black heels..does anyone know any thing I could wear that with? Thank you!

♥

The two best places I know to get reasonably priced high heels are Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory. For prom, I got high heels for 15$ dollars, and you can't go wrong with that! Also, sometimes you can find random ones at Kohls, but you can never bet on that. But at Marshalls, they carry brand names like Guess and BCBGirls. Try looking there. A cute outfit with black heels would be like a pair of white capris&a black top. Or a white skirt and black top. Be creative!

(i foudn it on yahoo)

but i want it all over...
how do u think i coudl describe it to the hair dresser? thanksss =)


peace and love

Bring in the picture to the stylist that you would like. You trying to explain it might not get the proper message across. Print that picture out and take it with you when you go to the salon. Show your stylist and ask for his/her opinion. Bringing the picture can only help in making the style even more fabulous.

whenever i try on ae or hollister jeans, they like dont fit around my butt..? like it makes my butt look flat.. you know what i mean? its like tight around the area and i dont even have that big of a butt? whats wrong.. like what pants do i have to get?

Try other stores! Macy's* junior section has plenty of brand name jeans like guess? and maybe even seven for all mankind. Also, forever 21 carries jeans, and how about Abercrombie (if you want to stay in that kind of store). There are tons of other options! Even pacSun jeans may work for you. Just go around and try on jeans!!! To find a pair of jeans that looks fabulous on you, you have to try on a bunch of bad ones!

Yeah i know this is like really random, but i was just wondering, how do you guys feel about the store Abercrombie and Fitch. I was reading about it online and so many people seem to hate it!!!

i don't really shop there that often but i was thinking of getting some clothes there for christmas and i was just wanted to know some of yall opinionss on it

If you like the clothes, wear them! Personally, I think that people only shop there for the brand name and their clothes are bad quality. SOmetimes, you can find a cute shirt and their jeans are FREAKING AMAZING!! i love their jeans. Don't let anyone else tell you what your style should be or what it has to be.

Recently I got my haircoloured (5 days ago) I opted for permanent dye. I got it coloured black btw. However, everytime I wash my hair the colour comes out. I wash my hair each day, and don't think this can be right. Should the colour be coming out 5 days after I got it done? Am I doing something wrong? Should I head back to the salon?

Thanks.

Yes, its perfectly normal. Right after I get my hair dyed darker then it originally was, the color washes out a few days after it's been dyed. Don't worry about it, eventually it will stop. It happens to me all the time and it's totally normal for this to happen. The color has already set in your hair so it is only washing out some of the excess color that has not set in your hair.

I have a CHI straightener that broke a few weeks ago and my hair stylist suggested sending it in to be fixed or replaced for free. Has anyone done this before and knows what to do and where to ship it? Or does anyone know what the CHI website is?

CHI is made by Global Beauty Network. Try googling that. Also, if your CHI is over a year old (maybe even over 6 months old) they may not replace it. Make sure you can still find the warantee. If you dont have the warantee they may not replace it for you. If you stil have the box that your CHI came in their may be a number you can call to speak to someone who will know more about it. Good luck.

Well i am a grl and i like to wear boy clothes!!!
is that weird or normal?

No way! Just because you like to wear boys clothes doesnt make you abnormal. Boys clothes are more comfortable and less form fitting. People might think you are weird but thats because they are too insecure to wear whats comfortable and what they like. Wear what you like and what you love.

is there any STORE (not online) that sells seven jeans or other designer jeans like them (citizens for humanity, true religion, etc.) for 60 dollars or under? if you know anywhere, that'd be great, thanks!

Macys will def have them but they will be over priced. They have them for about 100 - 200 dollars. 80/90 is a steal from there.
I got a great pair of Vigoss jeans from Marshalls actually, costing me only 19.99$$. Marshalls sometimes has a great selction of designer jeans but not all the time. It's a hit or miss there. T.J. Maxx also has some designer stuff but again its a rare find to get something from seven there.

I've just shaved my legs and no hair has come off. Do you have to apply quite a lot of pressure? I'm scared of cutting myself and those hair removal creams take aaages and don't work all that well on me...I only have til Friday so I can't go out and buy wax either. What can I do?

Change your razor blade. A dull razor will not shave your legs. Or, get a new razor. If this doesn't work, try to get a different kind of razor.

I am 17 and a female. I have light brown hair. I want to lighten it up. Has anyone here tried lemon lights by john frida? Has it worked on your hair?

Seriously, anything you can buy at a drug store to "lighten" you're hair is totally not what you should be doing. It's not professional and it might turn out pretty crappy. If you want to lighten your hair, see a stylist. They will give you amazing results, just what you wanted, and they will look okay. Don't trust your hair with a 10 dollar bottle of John Freda product.

i have hair below the shoulders that is wavy and on the thicker side and im getting a new hair straightening iron i already have two but i have had those for a long time (hottools) and some cheap brand is there any hair straightening iron that makes your hair very straight, frizz free, ceramic, and smoothens and straightens hair but is less then lets say $125

thanx

CHI. Global Beauty Network. This thing is my freaking life. The best flat iron you can buy. Its about 105$$ on amazon.com. You may be able to get it from your salon. If you dont get the CHI, get something ceramic, it damages your hair less and has more even heat.
Anything else about hair, straighting, and whatnot, let me know.

i think my face looks a little plain bc i hav no bangs but is it worth it to risk looking dumb 4 freshman yr & pictures??


please answer asap...rate high!!!
need answers in lik 1 week!

Ask your stylist. Listen to what they say. I say, go for it. If the bangs look bad, clip them back for the picture. You will never know that you have them! Try longer, sideswept bangs, those are always very flattering. Check a magazine and talk to your stylist. That should help making the decision.

I wasnt exactly sure which category to put this under, but here goes...

Shaving is a BITCH! yes, yes it is. My question is:

Has anyone tried those bladeless shaving kits? do they really work? Does it last longer than shaving? does it remove ingrown hairs too, or should i just go for the wax?

yeah i know, kinda stupid, but im sick of shaving and at least dont want to walk around band camp with a bunch of nix and cuts.

thanks!

Ok, Nair smells. If you ever use nair, you will never use it again. No matter what scent, it still smells like ass. Next, the Veet Bladeless Razor burns. Like the crap burns your legs! The only one I have ever tried that works is the Veet Moose, it came out a few years ago, it worked, but it didnt last much longer then shaving. I would just stick with shaving and just be more careful. Try the moose though if you want to.

I have really small eyes too, and what I do is apply a thin line of liquid eyeliner on the top, and then pencil liner on the bottom and in my lash line.

at my school we have to wear collared shirt, with only 2 buttons unbuttoned. we can wear jeans or skirts, but the skirts have to be longer than 2 inches above our knees. i like to dress originally, and cant stand the thought of going to school looking exactly like everyone else. also i live on an island, so whenever you buy a shirt someone else in your school probably bought it too... and with this collared shirt rule, like 9 or 10 people end up with the exact same shirt. does anyone have any suggestions for interesting ways to make my outfits less boring?

Buy different color collared shirts. Dress them up with maybe patches? Tye dye a white one? Try shopping at a store no one goes to, of one where its hard to find 2 of the same thing (ex: forever 21). Also, try cutting the sleves. Also, you can wear a very colorful high cut shirt on the underneath. Decorate your jeans! Use markers, glitter, and such from your arts and crafts store. Buy original skirts from places like forever 21.
Ok, I hope this helps. Be creative and it will work out.

is henna permanent or does it eventually wash out?

No. It lasts about a month, so they say. But basically, it lasts a month MAXIMUM. Henna actually only lasts like 1 - 2 weeks with like showering and swimming during the summer. If you swim in the pool or go in the ocean with henna, it will fade faster.

were can i get cute clothes and they are for a good price? thanks
luv hallie

Personally, I think one of the best places to get great clothes is Marshalls. You can find guess, abercrombie, also AE jeans at a decent price. Regularly, guess jeans can cost like 95 dollars. At Marshalls, they are like 19.95. Now thats a good deal! Here are some other stores also carry cheap clothes.

-Forever 21 .. you have to hunt around here, but you do find great stuff.

-Charlotte Russe .. doesnt always have great things, but u can find amazing stuff.

-T.J. Maxx .. same as Marshalls, just isnt as great on deals.

-579 .. cheap jeans!!

-Mandee .. great store, clothes are not high quality though.

ok, i hope that helps!

ok...does anybody know how you can make your hair big...like in the 80s? like, REALLY really big....mostly blondes did this to their hair, but ive been wanting to do it, but i dont know what its called or how to make it stick up and stay up...so if u can, PLEASE reply a.s.a.p!!! thanx

Ok, TEASE IT! to tease, grab a comb. hold the hair you want big up straight and comb downward. it will look like a big knot, but yah it works. it may hurt a little took. again, hairspray. repeat as nessicary. hairspray. flip your head over, blast with a blow dry, and oh HAIRSPRAY. aqua net is amazing for amazing uplifting, huge hair.
