    unfortunately there wasn't a photoset from the Tswift shoot. Just that one picture! it was more about the art and art-fashion world grabbing onto Youtube and internet-style production

    the same article has a good amount of stuff on K Pop and
    HyunA-Pop-Magazine-328x430.jpg

    thinking about it now, it's very much right up your alley

    For the record

    I have been looking at pictures from that McQueen show for a couple days now and I can't fucking stop and I'm obsessed with it.

    Especially the hair

    they started as makeup threads and became beauty/fashion threads

    I don't know why I am getting all pedantic up in here but it's probably because apart from posting a couple photos of dresses I just really can't get into the fashion side of it and I really want to talk more about makeup but no one talks about it anymore :c

    [EDIT] never mind the threads are not in order which is how I missed them, I see this now

    I want to talk about makeup! Let's talk about makeup!

    The BB creams I've tried have looked really awesome but felt icky on my skin, almost like pancake foundation

    But I wear foundation so rarely I'm probably not the best person to give you guidance!

    Muse Among MenMuse Among Men Suburban Bunny Princess? Its time for a new shtick Registered User regular
    I too am looking at bbcreams, I'm just reluctant to spend money right now. I still have quite a bit of colorstay foundation left but I need to mix it with other things to match my skintone and it gets annoying. I was looking at the Missha M bbcream no. 27, but I can't see it in person because I can only find places that sell it online :( There are American BBcreams but I am trying to suss out which ones are more than tinted moisturizer. I am trying to stick to lower-medium coverage, I don't really need anything more than that. I want something that looks natural.

    I get paid on monday and I'm seriously thinking about going to Lush and splurging a bit (I need to get more shampoo anyways).

    or, do I take a day and go sit at the Bobbi Brown counter and be all "make me pretty! and help me find a red!"

    If you were going to go to a counter, would you do Bobbi Brown, Mac?

    so
    the boots that I had resoled sprung another leak (in the heel, which wasn't resoled)
    so I'm STILL in the market for good looking, flat, long-ish boots (over mid-calf) which are warm, waterproof, and won't cost me a bajillion bucks.

    urgh ...

    I like both of them, I'm not usually a fan of tan with pale soles so my inclination i sthe first set but they both look decent.

    That said, speaking of overkill, you sure you need the (wool?) lining all the way up there in Humid McTemperateVille? :P

    Hah! Yeah I'm wary about that lining, but those are the best pairs in my price range. The runner-ups would have to be these:

    I mean, I'm not saying it's intolerable, having worn boots basically every day for years while I was in the military. But having hot sweaty feet now, while I'm free, just isn't optimal.

    Like muse, I have a hard time figuring out which BB creams are just tinted moisturizer, so I haven't tried any yet. I've heard physician's formula super bb cream and loreal youth code bb cream are the closest to the real thing, so I might pick one of those up!

    I've never tried BB Creams, just because I like more coverage.

    I still really like my Covergirl 3in1 foundation, even though I'm like 99% sure it's too pink for my skin. It seems like it's only visible in bright natural light, I can tell in the car mirror that my face is pretty pink. I've made Annie stare at my numerous times, and he says it's not very noticeable. I don't know. I really like it, so I hope most people wouldn't notice. I can't really afford fancy dept store foundations right now, which tend to have the neutral/yellow tones I need, so as far as drugstore foundations are concerned this is probably my best bet for now.

    @Vivixenne and other people who actually have a clue about these thing (unlike me), I have a question!

    I have a few face masks and I never know when to use them in my routine. I wash my face and then put on one but do I tone and moisturise once I've taken it off? My skin feels soft and not dry but now that I've started using toner I feel weird not doing that step. Though then I wonder whether the toner will remove the effects of the face mask. I'm rubbish at being a girl.

    BB creams are bb-boss in my experience but that might just be because they were crazy popular in Seoul before I left I guess

    On which note I'm almost out of my Korean face product number three. Hrm.

    maybe it's just my friend group/family, but gluten-free is supposed to be healthier in general as far as I understand

    the way gluten is processed changed some years ago, and now many people have an intolerance to it that may be pretty low-level

    when folks kick gluten entirely for a couple of weeks, many report a noticeable improvement in overall gut health

    so her statement isn't entirely incorrect, just maybe not globally applicable

    right. though I don't think anybody's health has ever worsened by avoiding gluten

    oh not as far as I know either, not that I know much of anything in-depth about gluten

    it's just off-putting when it's pushed as generally "healthier" for the same reason it's off-putting to blanket-push anything vaguely "organic" as being healthier

    the upside is that more gluten-free food is available, which is cool for those who need it! But the trend being seized as a buzzword is as annoying as, well, that always is.
