How much time and money do you spend on your appearance? And what do you do.

I am stripping at the moment so I need to look my best. This is what i do:

. Gym 3 times per week – cardio and weights
. Wholefoods diet – no processed foods, animal fats, sugar or dairy
. hair colour and cut every 2 months
. japanese hair straightening
. teeth whitening – every 2 years
. clothes and underwear – buy every week
. skincare – dermalogica – use exfoliant, moisturiser, cleanser, sunscreen
. makeup – clinique, chanel etc
. eyebrow shaping – at beautician
. waxing/shaving – do my own

So we girls spend a ridiculous amount of time and money trying to look good. What do you do?

Recommendations for lush face products?

I’m 14 and I have normal skin, but with a slightly oily t zone. I currently use Angels on bare skin, Tea tree water and Imperialis daily and also mask of magnaminty twice a week (i used to use Nivea Young) and I’ve noticed my skin has gotten better, I only occasionally get a spot or two, which I like to use grease lightning on. I just used up my mask of magnaminty and I’d like to try one of Lush’s fresh masks, but I’m not sure I can use them up before the expiry date. I have time for about two face masks a week and it seems to be a waste to buy a fresh face mask and only use half of it when it expires or something. Does anyone actually use it all up before the expiry date? And also I want to try ocean salt as an exfoliator maybe once a week, is this good for my skin type? And if anyone could give me recommendations for a fresh face mask to use or any other lush face products for my skin type, especially a moisturiser because I hate the smell of Imperialis and I’m not sure it’s doing that much for my skin, also I’d love to try a few other cleansers as I don’t like the smell of Angels either. Thanks.

okay i kinda have to questions. i start school tomorrow i am in yr 9 (i also live in AUS) i get up at 6:30 and i have to leave for the bus at 7:35. the problem is that i have so many things to do in the morning (well it seems like it) wash my face, get dressed (school uniform yuck), do hair/makeup and make my lunch and breakfast. i am really lazy and i hate having to wash my face in the morning but you are meant to so. my first question is is ther another way i can wash my face (i don’t have time for a shower and when i wash my face in the sink i spill water every were) all suggestions welcom products that make it easier tips ect. . . . . i no its stupid but hey.

my routine used to go like this

get up, wash face but on moisturiser, make my break fast and eat it clean my teeth, do my hair makeup and then leave for school i used to get my mum to make me lunch but i don’t want to ask her to do that anymore. . so i will make my own lunch and that will take time so. . . . yeah. 2nd question (i no they kinda arn’t related) what can i make for my lunch that is healthy and really simple. thank for you help.

PS u may also call me and idiot if you like for getting myself into this mess the day before school starts

How do you apply liquid foundation?

Alrightey well I’m kinda new to the whole liquid foundation scene, so I just wanted to know how to apply it so it looks natural and stays on as long as possible. I bought this foundation: http://www. beccacosmetics. com/COMPLEXION-Foundations-&-Concealers/c3_10/p14/Luminous-Skin-Colour/product_info. html

And this powder:
http://www. beccacosmetics. com/COMPLEXION-Powder/c3_13/p18/Fine-Pressed-Powder/product_info. html

When applied by the lady at the counter, she used a primer and concealer but I couldn’t afford to buy all 4 so I just got the powder and foundation. Will this still give a good effect?? How long will it last without a primer and will my blemishes be obvious without the concealer? I have fairly oily skin. I want to use this tomorrow and I have two different foundation sponges which I want to use. If I use a sponge, what do I do with the foundation to apply evenly and naturally? And is not using a sponge better, like using your fingers in the way you apply moisturiser! Help!
I need answers to be very detailed and preferabbly step by step. So after I apply the foundation, do I apply the powder? But won’t the foundation rub off when I put the powder on? SOOOO confused!

Skin breakouts with working out?

  By Kit | January 1, 2011 - 8:59 am | Moisturizer

I’ve always had nice skin, but since I started working out heavily, my skin really broke out. I now have heaps (not to the point of acne yet) of blackheads, whiteheads and blind pimples develop – especially on my chin, temples, shoulders, chest and back.

I tried taking zinc tablets and started exfoliating more often, I’ve changed my facial wash and tried to avoid touching my face so often. But it’s not working. My skin is looking disgusting and it’s no where near what it was like before I started working out – it’s not pimple free, smooth or pale like anymore. It’s reddish, splotchy and pimply :(

Any help or advice please?

(I’m using Clean and Clear Active Clear with Witchhazel toner and Nivea Moisutiser 15+, also, if I have time before bed, I redo that, but aloe vera rather then moisturiser. Also usually exfoliate with a fine grained exfoliating wash)
I usually don’t have a shower straight afterwards unless it’s a morning workout. If it’s a afternoon/night one, it’d be anywhere from 30min to 2hrs afterwards depending on what I’m doing.

I got sunburned on my nose AND EVERY TIME I GET BURNED THERE IT GOES INTO A LOOOONG PROCCESS OF THROBBING, PEELING, LETTING OUT PUS AND, EVENTUALLY, healing. i dont get burned often because i have tan skin so this has only happened a couple of times. does anyone know what i can do before it goes into this long procedure? it’s already bbegun to blister a little. I’ve been using some night cream moisturiser of my mums and have put some ice on it.

Question about scene hair?

Hello,
Im a twelve year old turning thirteen year old girl. I want to change my boring hairstyle to something better, and i really like the shape and style of scene hair. (i have naturally curly hair, but straighten it so my hairs kinda straight but wavy. Also its light brown and kinda long)
But i’m not allowed to wear make-up (other than tinted moisturiser) and im not allowed to dye my hair.

So from my description do you reckon scene hair could suit me? Or is it all about the dye and make-up part of the scene kid look?

Thank-you!

(p. s please don’t tell me to leave my hair curly; i hate my curly hair)
:)

So i have pale skin with freckles, natural brunette hair and green eyes. Can you recommend any makeup ideas, such as eye shadow colour or lip colour, makes/brands too if you can. I usually wear brown mascara, pale pink eyeshadow, & rosy blush for a natural look, and black eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, tinted moisturiser lip gloss and blush for a ‘going out’ look.

Anyway, if you have any new ideas for me i’d be please to hear them, I’ll choose a best answer too :)

maybelline mousse foundation?

im thinking of buying this one but the thing is everyone says its REALLY cakey and since im just looking for light coverage at my age im not sure if i should buy it

i only need it to be sufficient enough to cover my minor flaws not like fully thick and cakey. . . its for school

would mixing it with moisturiser make it less cakey and thick?

ive tried it before with mum’s foundation (and it made it better, less cakey) not sure if its bad to do it with maybelline mousse foundation?

thanksss ♥
Izabelle. . you have issues

If you have a problem with me and my questions stop looking at them instead of swearing

You obviously have nothing better to do than look at my questions. If you have a problem keep it to yourself cause I dont really care about your complaints
