Any recommendations for a waterproof eyeliner?
I haven't used eyeliner for awhile, but when I did I used a pencil, usually in green or blue. Also, I found these reviews:

I have also heard about MAC Fluidline (which you apply with a brush), but I haven't used it myself. Then somewhere I read about Chanel having one, but that might be a bit expensive.
Thanks :) I'm hoping I'll be able to return to normal (well, not "normal", but at least less limited) diet within time. If my skin is in a good condition in the autumn I can get proper allergy tests done and then MAYBE start trying to add some grains in my diet little by little. It would make my life so much easier if I could eat bread and all the normal stuff like that.Quote:

I don't use eyeliner, I'm a mascara girl.
I always manage to get mascara on my glasses.:crazy:
The Chanel one's a bit expensive, but it works like a charm!Quote:

Ha..it's an odd sensation to accidently bat your eyelashes against the lenses of your glasses. (if that's how you get mascara on your glassesQuote:

You get free stuff (the bonus) with your cosmetics purchase of $21.50 or more (or however much it is now). There's always mascara in a bonus...I wonder why that is. And a the bonus always comes in a cosmetics bag. So I have a lot of mascara because I don't throw it away and I have a lot of cosmetics bags. I used to always go for Clinique Bonus time. And with that you always got Dramatically Different Moisterizing Lotion, which I never used but I kept it too. I have a box full of make-up that I don't use. Some is stuff that I buy outright, and then hate or it doesn't work that well. And some is stuff that I got in a bonus and never used. Every once in a while, I do toss some of the stuff. But it amazes me that I keep it so long before I do end up tossing it.
Usually I only wear make-up on my eyes (my skin can't handle full-face make-up, so no foundation or powder for me). I "have to" use mascara and eyebrow pencil, because I'm blonde and look like I don't have any eyelashes and eyebrows if I don't :p
I often use some eyeshadow and eyeliner too. I like to play with different colours depending on my mood, clothing and accessories :)
I never wear make-up. I'm a natural girl :smilewinkgrin:. It is a nuissance, can't rub your eyes or there are black marks and that's a poblem when you're tired. Not to mention when something has flown into your eye...
I only make an exception for parties, but I have recently discovered that my eyelashes tend to fall out if I have used mascara. Very inconvenient. And buying a special brand, which I understand exists, just for occasional use is a bit stupid. No no mascara any more for me.
But, now a new situation has presented itself. How does one put make-up on if one has glasses? I mean, not 'how' (take the glasses off and put it on, although that may be a challenge :D), but to what extent? Less colour, no? Because otherwise eyes start to compete with glasses and that may not be such a great sight.
Well, it depends on your glasses. If they magnify your eyes your makeup should be soft and subtle, but if they make your eyes look smaller then you can use darker or brighter colours and emphasise your eyes more (with eyeliner and mascara).Quote:

Haha, that's actually the reason why I started wearing make-up :lol: I mean the fact that you can't rub your eyes when you're wearing mascara. When I was sixteen, I realised that wearing mascara was the only way I could keep myself from rubbing my eyes, which really made a big difference during the pollen allergy season, because rubbing one's eyes only makes the itching much worse.Quote:

She left behind her husband, her 21-year old daughter, and her 11-year old son. It's hard for all of them.
I am very sorry, Tournesol, for your aunt and her family.
oh... my condolences too, Tournesol to you and your family.
I'm very sorry Tournesol :(
I do hope things get better for all of you.
Does anybody know how to get nail polish off leather?
does the remover not work?
I wouldn't try remover on leather, somehow... If you're unlucky, you'll take the shine off... Unless it's in a discreet place, of course.
I'll have a look on the net.
[edit] So... There are a few entries for for nail polish remover or acetone (eHow.com), but one also mentioned taking the residue off with water and leather cleaner.
There was also one for a sofa, and that mentioned hairspray.
I would find the hairspray thing the safest.
I afraid to try it, I don't want to ruin the leather.Quote:

I would be afraid of that too, but why don't you try it on the lining (failing the hairspray)? There is bound to be a small piece of the same leather your jacket is made of turned inside or something. Then you can try to put some on it, wait about 24 hours and then have a look. If nothing much has happened, go ahead.Quote:

I'll give the hair spray a shot when I get home tonight.Quote:

Next, I tried this yellowish greenish color with looks like puke on, now I have on a lime color which is ok but quite honestly it isn't knocking my socks off.
I don't colour my nails anymore, but I sued to as a teenager.
If it goes on streaky and you don't want that, you'll have to put on two layers. some nail polishes don't cover properly, so, like paint on the wall, another layer.
Two coats doesn't cut it and any more and it just looks gloppy. Good thing it was on sale.Quote:

It's a little more purpley in person.
That is a nice color. My favorite, grey-ey purple.
Oops, two layers and still streaky. That's bad.
Nice colour, though. :)
Anyone ideas for incredibly dry finger skin so that it continuously peals off, also nail rims are a problem. I stay kind of off my nails, but I can't really do anything nice to them as my skin comes of horribly.
Can you get Body Shop products where you are, kiki? They do a Hemp Hand Protector which is rich and nourishing for hands without being sticky. They do a hemp hand cleanser too which is very effective if you come back from a litttle 'light weeding' with half the garden under your finger nails.
When I remember I put a few drops of cuticle oil on my nails at night.
I econd the hemp hand lotion.
Toenail Fungus --- I know that I have posted about this topic before but i feel that I must post again. My mother is convinced that she has a nail fungus. She has three weird white spots on her big toe nail. So, instead of getting a pedicure at a "salon" I painted her toe nails tonight. It was a process...
She wanted me to use that foot file thing. It was okay with the whole painting part - I just used a real light, forgiving pink polish. But the foot file thing and the rough skin was just yuck. It's one thing to do your own, which i do quite often to keep them from looking crusty, but to file someone else's feet is another thing. She had this flourescent flashlight thing right up next to her toes so that I could see what I was doing and feet are gross looking up close. They're just gross. And my mother doesn't have nasty looking feet, at least not a normal distance, noticeably in public. And I've seen some grody foot situations and I wonder why those people don't just put on shoes and socks because I would. But up close, under neon light, feet are a whole different story.
Anyway, the point of this post is - what does a nail fungus look like? I've googled it and the return images are horrifying. Hers didn't look like that. It was three white spots. Will that condition eventually turn into what I see on Google, or does anyone else have any idea what those 3 white spots might be?
I heard soaking your feet in peroxide helps can help with fungals as can tea tree oil. I put some tea tree oil drops on her nails anyway.
I remember that nails get white spots on them all the time if they're bumped. Something about the nail itself breaking away from the cuticle bed. It might be that, unless the spots raised (or *eugh* fuzzy).
Or somepeople just get those white spots for some reason, even without bumping them (as far as I know).
But nail fungus looks totally different. I think it should itch, but the most common one just turnes the nail yellow, untransluscentt and crumbly. I suppose there are more kinds that have other effects, but this would be the most likely.
oh, and thanks for the tips!
I'm not sure about the fungus but I do have to commend you on doing your Mom's toes. I don't think I'd have the fortitude to touch my mom's feet.
Like that nail color, papaya. How did that work out?

Hey girls!
Thank you all for your condolences on the passing of my aunt. It means a lot to me.
On a brighter note, I found out the sex of the baby - we're having a boy! I'm so excited, now I can finally get all the baby things!
I'm at 27 weeks - the end of the second trimester; so, I don't have much longer again!
Congrats! Don't know you too well, (don't think I've interacted with you much on the forum) but babies are exciting. So many congrats!Quote:
