Her earring made me wonder what sort of wonky ass collar that shirt had. Then I realized it was feathers laugh out loud

I always had decent skin with some clogged pores, but now that I had a baby my skin is TERRIBLE! I have to relearn a skincare regimen and how to do my makeup, because I never had to wear foundation heavily before. Boo!
Ah! It's an earring?! laugh out loud I thought the same thing when I looked at the link last night. It is definitely cuter sans "wonky ass collar." Coverlaugh

In the past, when I had the worst skin, it was because I was over-treating it and my guess is that it disrupted my skin's natural balance. For example, even though I stopped having serious acne, I was still using overnight acne serums. Finally, a few years ago, I laid off this skin regime and things have never looked better.

Now, I just make sure my face is always clean of makeup before bed/after workouts and I use a toner (Clinique 3) after every wash. Moisturize also!

What kind of skincare regimen are you following now?

unless they'd stack with anything, tier is better percent-wise i think.

i already used mine in the store Teehee

What did you end up getting Kurpee? I think I may order these [express.com] using my online code. I have no idea what I wanna get in-store though cuz I pretty much already have everything I really want. And my store doesn't have a real great selection of accessories.

yeah... it sucks that the FS is sporadic and not all the time. they should at least do FS on some large amount, like 150 or 200. i was annoyed when someone here said they got FS and i couldn't get it for the life of me.

not weird - awesome! :l ol: i would just take them and hope that it doesn't stop...

Whee mine too!!! tho i think i may have overdone it a little bit... :bl ush:


i think it may be in part bc we have black/dark hair. i find dark hair tends to be more shiny - when i had lighter hair it wasn't as shiny.

will go look now! thanks Smilie

btw if you're trying out foundations, one that came as a rec from aya (where IS that girl??) is estee lauder double wear light. i went and got myself a 2nd bottle of it today (traded in my advanced night repair for that and double wear concealer) kuz it's that awesome. if you can find a color match (i think there are only 5) it is seriously an amazing foundation - covers well and stays put ALL DAY without budging, even through sweating!
Is there anywhere that I can order online that if it doesn't match I can return? I would probably be a 2 or 3, but there are limited stores around here to go get matched at. I really need to drive 45 minutes + to Baton Rouge to get anywhere good Frown

I notice my skin does better the more I let it rest instead of going overboard too. Right now I am using Clinique 3 step. I have been exfoliating more and using the 7 day scrub too occasionally as I have dry flaky skin that the moisturizer wasn't helping. My face feels like a train wreck! I will say it is a little better than it was last week - just nowhere near how it was before I moved to Louisiana. Humidity was NOT good for me Frown

What is Nordys return policy on cosmtics? Any advice on shades anyone? I am of greek descent so I have more olive skin and warmish undertones, but am a lot lighter than I used to be. I tend to be on the light or light medium spectrum now. I don't tan either as I never go outside - seems I don't have time anymore! I would love to get this kit Smilie Looks like a great deal!

*i cinched blue dress with belt since it looked too straight on me without one
*yes there is some bunching on the magenta dress sinceit isn't shaped, i guess because it's a t-shirt dress. i think the dress can be cuter using different belts.

the 2 dresses i posted. i was able to use the bday reward + $30 alist reward + $15 off tier, and got them for free!

and there is no choice on the concealer shade... so i guess they'd match the foundation?

we need the gwp though. it seems they just had it in april.
