Oh gawd, don't get me started girl!
I never used to spend ANY time on my face until I got in my 20s because my skin went beserk. (Go freaking figure! I NEVER had skin problems as a teenager!! GROWL.) The doc said it was a combo of hormones and genes and whatever. In any case, to make a long story short.. I have really bad skin now so I take FOREVER to get ready.
-shower, part my hair
-skin meds then foundation primer with an SPF
-I use mineral powder foundation because of my skin issues
-eyeshadow, eyeliner
-blush, bronzer
-eyebrow filler powder
-finishing face powder
-curl my eyelashes, waterproof mascara
-blow dry my hair & then style it (which means leaving it straight & making sure it doesn't look like sh!t)
-chapstick & clear gloss.
Out of everyone I know? Hands down, I take the longest to get ready. In doing all this and then getting dressed? Yes, Johanna takes her time even if she's late. I don't like to be rushed and get pissed when someone tries to make me rush, lol. Ew, what at priss, right? But I'm not.. I'm a nice girl; I just take my time to get ready, that's all =)

do u have problems with regular mascara? cause i have yet to find a regular (non-waterproof) mascara that doesn't uncurl my lashes after i put it on. regular ones are too wet so they uncurl them. and it would be less of a hassle if i could find a regular one so i don't have to use eye make up remover everyday.

Yes, I do! OMG.. it's RIDICULOUS. I've tried so many different mascaras.. the girls at my Sephora out here like know me and sh!t.
My problem is that my lashes are short and straight, so no matter what I always have to use an eyelash curler.
Back to mascara.. regular mascara not only uncurls my lashes.. it smudges everywhere. Lately I've been using Dior Diorshow Waterproof. The brush is really big and it goes on pretty thick, but it keeps my sh!t in place.

Think maybe my face got used to it? So I have to use doctor-prescribed stuff. It's pretty sucky.. I'm so self-conscious about my face for like 4 years now. But yeah.. bare escentuals.. really good sh!t for all skin types including problematic skin like mine. |

ya. i use shu uemura (sp) waterproof mascara but im sick of waterproof nuts. mine are i guess, long for an asian person, but i have to curl them. i bought a mac curling mascara but its so wet it uncurls it. what kinda curling mascara is that? lol. i have so many mascaras cause they all suck. Dior Diorshow volumizes too. I know Bourjois is a really good mascara as well. I practically live in Sephora.. pretty sad. Can you order online? But I'm sure fine department stores carry the stuff, too. |

ya. in canada, everything is more expensive. sometimes i'm like, WHAT! everything in the states is SO CHEAP! cause now our dollar is 97 cents, everything is cheap. like, say an A&F sweater is $80US. it would be $100CDN. and u guys have A LOT of factory outlets and u buy in bulk so everything is cheap. like circuit city.
