I like express jeans. I like their dress pants as well. I think they make my butt look good

An easy task.

So Shannon (owner of atomic) is trying to convince me that this needs to be my next style



Thoughts? Just the cut

you would really have to style your hair every day

2/2/2013 8:03:36 PM

Do not like

2/2/2013 8:05:43 PM

Yea I'm a little worried about the maintenance of it. I'd have to get the bangs trimmed like weekly

And yet it intrigues me

2/2/2013 8:17:02 PM

*rotflmao*



Might as well start attending Trek Conventions.

2/2/2013 8:36:21 PM

I feel very strongly about how hideous that is

2/2/2013 9:14:06 PM

Not a fan of the haircut. Might be able to host a swap in a month or two if the SO ever starts working on the house again.

2/2/2013 9:21:00 PM

Here's a different variation of the v bangs. I might get them more like this



Or I might just get them straight. But everyone does that.

2/2/2013 9:39:48 PM

holy eyebrows batman

2/2/2013 9:42:58 PM

Haha right? I will not be doing that

2/2/2013 9:47:42 PM

it's like pick one or the other to show off your eyes

I am really loving the no poo for you! My hair looks, feels, and "acts" sooooo much better than before! It is so much faster at drying, took me max 12 minutes to straighten my hair Friday morning with only little bit of "frizz-ease" product on the ends which I don't think I needed but used because of habit. It took a while to get used to my hair feeling weird when wet but it has so much more body now when dry.

I'm really glad skwinkle mentioned doing this weeks ago, I never would have tried this but I'm so glad I did! I feel like I have the hair I always wanted.

Somehow that picture reminds me of the generic barbies you'd see in the store as a kid. They always looked kind of messed up to me.

2/2/2013 11:11:27 PM

please do not V bang

2/3/2013 12:12:29 AM

My hair has officially hit that in between phase of short and long where I hate it.

2/3/2013 6:15:38 PM

I tend to be one to enjoy more alternative haircuts on women but that V bang look is fairly ugly to me.

2/3/2013 6:20:28 PM

Of course I will give my opposite opinion. DO IT! YOLO and it will grow out really quickly if you don't like it.

[Edited on February 3, 2013 at 6:44 PM. Reason : Upkeep! ]

2/3/2013 6:41:50 PM

i think it looks fugly

2/3/2013 6:51:17 PM

i think i'll have her do it and then if I don't like it she can just make it straight bangs

problem solved

2/3/2013 7:16:41 PM

I agree with punchmonk. It should grow out in no time if it doesn't suit you. I think it will though. It is definitely not a hairstyle for everyone though.

Birchbox ladies:

I just got my invitation to join, but after reading reviews and seeing on blogs what others have received, I don't think I'm going to do Birchbox but Ipsy instead.

Ipsy gives actual deluxe-sized samples and you get a cute makeup bag with every order. It's also only $10 a month..

this girl's blog is the reason I will go with Ipsy instead of BB:

2/4/2013 1:30:46 PM

So I just signed up for ipsy. I won't subscribe yet. I will see what you think before I do that, egyeyes.

2/4/2013 1:55:31 PM

I am sitting on the page to sign up for the ipsy waitlist. I can't decide what to do. I think it will be pretty good for someone like me who is trying to get in to the world of makeup. Seems like I will get at least an average of 10 dollars worth of use out of it, but I can't seem to take the plunge. Also, my wallet is downstairs.

2/4/2013 10:39:05 PM

^DO IT. Also.. girrrrrrl I've got my CC# memorized.. and that 3 digit security code!


**addendum: What's great about the ipsy site is that a great number of their users post "looks" and show how they've used the items in that month's box. It's a nice way to find use for everything you receive.

2/4/2013 10:52:12 PM

I made the trek downstairs and back up and I am all signed up. How long do you typically stay on the waitlist?

2/4/2013 10:55:42 PM

I've been reading on blogs and comments on the ipsy Facebook page and I've seen everything from just a week to 2 months

Here's a video of what was in last month's glam bag:

2/4/2013 11:03:37 PM

The nailpolish sold me. I buy a bottle almost every month. If I stop doing that it will almost pay for, or if it is Butter it will pay for it plus some.

I'm going to need some serious help learning how to use this stuff. Maybe I can finally be a girl.

2/4/2013 11:35:09 PM

just find tutorials on youtube. honestly there's like a million. whenever I can't figure out how to do something (hair rolls were a mystery to me) i just found a few how-to's and now they're no big deal

2/5/2013 11:31:29 AM

In principle, I agree with you. I have found tons of tutorials for hair and makeup stuff I want to try. They make it look easy. But then I find like a "soft smoky eye" tutorial and I end up all like
because I suck at actually doing things.

2/5/2013 1:37:21 PM

^hahahaha wtf makeup is that

You just need practice. It takes me a few tries to get stuff right usually. it took me like 4 afternoons to figure out a hair roll

2/5/2013 1:44:02 PM

oooh do you get the cute little bag w/ ipsy?

2/5/2013 8:56:27 PM

The website says so! I hope I don't stay on the wait list too long.

2/5/2013 9:01:24 PM

Do I need to be invited?

2/5/2013 9:01:57 PM

No, but there is a wait list and you have to give your credit card info up front.

2/5/2013 9:03:40 PM

I need shoe help! I need a pair of black, leather pumps that can stand the test of time. My last pair (ALDO) lasted five months, which I guess is ok. I'm just seeing if there is a better brand out there.

Note: I wear these shoes almost everyday, and am looking for something around $100 or less.
Is there any brand that people absolutely LOVE?

2/5/2013 9:38:25 PM

HOLY CRAP!!! paging Skwinkle!

Hello Ladies,

Got a question for y0u. Was beyonce's outfit last night a dress, if you were to use strict technical terms?

2/6/2013 1:28:42 AM

haha no. the lace was just to cover her ass so CBS could make it family friendly. that's just too much booty for network TV


and thanks punchmonk, I have been looking for something like that for a while now. I need a fresh haircut for spring!

[Edited on February 6, 2013 at 3:44 AM. Reason : !]

2/6/2013 3:21:43 AM

No it was not a dress...why would you even think a technical term could turn that into a dress?

at most it was a leotard with a peplum

2/6/2013 9:41:37 AM

I always thought it'd be cool to have bangs but after playing around with the program ....

2/6/2013 11:40:27 AM

I've decided against the v bangs. I definitely want something like this



ok done spamming thread with pics now.

2/6/2013 11:53:48 AM

you don't have the face for that girl!

2/6/2013 12:16:56 PM

is this you skwinkle??



very 80s

2/6/2013 12:18:20 PM

why not i just meant the bangs not the entire up do thing

2/6/2013 12:22:29 PM

I'm not a big straight across bangs fan. I like choppier ones, or none at all
