I just run over my lips with my toothbrush after I brush my teeth to get rid of lip flakies. I have used an ELF exfoliant but it left lil pieces of it on my lip. I put chapstick on immediately afterwards. I get ready and do my lips last and the chapstick has sunken in by that point and so then I line my lips and put lipstick on!


Today I guess I looked nice cause the kids I worked with kept complimenting me! They told me my lipstick was beautiful and my headband and my earrings were nice and all these lil girls were saying they wanted to be me when they were older lol!

 

I use chapstick like a fiend if that counts

 

I too use a lot of Chapstick.

I also have pretty big lips.

 

i just use burt's bees coconut/pear lip balm. i got it the other day and it's helped a lot. also drinking a lot of water for hydration.

 

I use the Burt's Bees coconut/pear also! That flavor is the best kept secret

 

It's ridic how much lower my standards can get for self care the later it gets. Like

9:00pm: I need to get off the internet and shower and wash my hair and shave my legs and do this overnight hair style
9:30pm: I can def get my hair to last another day without washing.and shaving? Whatever I'll just wear pants. I'll shower in 30 more minutes
10:00pm: ok, well I did take a quick shower this morning so I'll just wash my face
10:30pm: Maybe I'll just take off my makeup and go to bed

 

Best trick I've picked up for hair is that if you know you don't want to wash your hair but know you've already gone like two or three days and are reaching oily/dirty potential, put dry shampoo in before you go to sleep

 

oiliness really isn't a problem for my hair. I can go like 5 days and it's still not oily at all. It just loses volume so I usually need to brush it out to get it to look thick again since brushing my hair always makes it look poofy lol

 

I can only go 3 days max between washes before the oil takes over.

 

I went six before before washing it on Monday. I have stupidly thick hair

 

Ughhhhh..that seems like a dream. Only good thing about fine hair is it air dries quick and takes like 5 minutes to straighten.

 

Oh god my hair is such a fucking event. It takes forever to do everything. After I wash it I towel dry, then let it air dry for about an hour or an hour and a half, then blow dry it, then wait another hour so that it settles down and isn't super poofy and then straighten it. It's so ridiculous

 

I can go a while, but day 2 without washing is usually my fave. Unfort the alternative to oily hair can be dry hair and mine is like the Sahara. I rarely brush it cause that makes it thicker/poofier. I usually just wash my hair at night, sleep, and then spray some leave in conditioner or sea salt spray/texturizer when it's damp. I try to avoid using heat on it. I prob use heat less than 5 times a year. Enables me to get my hair trimmed less often cause less split ends lol

 

Pretty much once a month I have to get the side of my head reshaved and the rest of it thinned and then every other month I get it trimmed. My hair is beyond ridiculous but it's a great problem to have

 

@Meerkat it sounds like a lot of work! I'm so lazy with my hair. It grows really fast and is very thick and heavy so I wear it down and boring every day. Trying to put it up is a whole ordeal. The heaviness + my sensitive scalp gives me major headaches when I do. and when I get it cut I'm just like "idc what you do as long as it's low maintenance as possible!" I tend to grow it out long all year and then chop off half of it in the summer.

 

@Kiana Being this cute ain't easy! Seriously though, I've always hated it in it's natural state. And then once I started straightening it I started liking the way I looked. And then when I shaved the side off it was like a lightbulb and I was like "Oh, this is what I look like" so it's completely worth it. And my hair is so healthy that aside from the blow drying and straightening, it's actually not a ton of work. I wash it obviously, and then condition maybe once every 2-3 weeks but could probably completely go without if I really wanted to. And occasionally I'll use a heat protectant spray. But once it's straightened I don't add anything to it or whatever. It just kind of does its thing

 

Kinda want my hair like this but I'm too big of a wimp to go for it.

 

My hair is already going gray at the temples and I'm contemplating on whether I should dye it or just let the gray hair grow.

 

Does anyone have a favorite liquid liner (black, preferably waterproof)? Urban Decay discontinued their 24/7 liners and I've been using Kat Von D's Tattoo liner but I just don't really like pens.

Dooooo it. Short hair is the best. I'll probably bring mine back this year.

 

this is pretty much what I did yesterday!

 

Did they really discontinue it? I just bought one a few weeks ago! It's my fave so they better not. I've never used a liner that's as good.

 

Of course today I look look like a greasy mess because I can't wash my hair until tomorrow, But Damn I looked good yesterday.

 

My skin is super dry and it's never dry so I'm like ahhh. It's my chin. Today a kid asked me why I had white stuff on my face and I was like it's dry leave me aloooone. Hoping my exfoliating cleanser will work since it did last time. I have oily skin so when I get dry skin it weirds me out.

 

Same ;-;

 

I use the ELF lip exfoliator (comes in a little tube like regular lipstick) from Target - it's cheap and great. You just rub it around on your lips for 20-30 seconds and then wipe off with a cotton pad.
