I have a thick, brown hair with highlights and bangs. I would like to have a new haircut when school starts, but I don´t know what would look great on me. My bangs are kind of overgrown. What do you recommend?

Hey babe,

It really depends on the shape of your face. Try to find a celeb that has a similar face and see what looks good on her or talk to your hairdresser.

There's a guy I like in my school and he's sorta my friend, and I want to impress him it's just that I don't know how can you help me?
Thanks,
XOXO Tennischamp18

Hey babe,

don't worry about impressing him - just be yourself! If he's going to like you it should be for who you are without trying.

Okay, I have all da summa secerets!

1. For shiny and smooth hair....
*Use Garnier Fructis shampoo
*Then use new Garnier Fructis fortifying conditioner Sleek & Shine sheer for normal to fine flyaway hair (frizzy!)
*Then I use Aussie 3 minute marical. Mix with hair then after 2 or 3 minutes, rinse.
*After that, towel dry hair and comb
*Here is the best part. Use Garnier Fructis Style Leek and shine anti-humidity stylin cream!

DIRECTIONS: Towel dry hair, squeeze a little bit of the cream into hand. Then rub hands together and finger comb in damp hair until not visably noticable. Then blow dry and walaw! You will have soft, shiny, and anti-flyaway/frizzy hair all day, even in the hot weather!!!!!

2. Makeup:
*What I do with eyeshadow, is that I put a tiny (I MEAN TINY) amount of white moisterizer on finger and rub it on the eyeshadow. Then I could apply with a eyeshadow brush or finger (pinky if you do). This keeps the shadow from melting off.

3. Another Makeup trick:
*For blush, I use bronze/tan color so I can show off my sunny glow. I also use waterproof mascara so even if you swim or sweat (ew) it wont smear.

4. Lip gloss
*I am discusted when my lips are naturally red or bright pink! I hate it! So I use this:

-first, i rub carmex on my lips
-then chapstick
-after, i put liquid coverup (not poisonis kind!) on it to make it paler
-then, so i dont look strange (lol) i put a clear coat of lip gloss on then glittery lipgloss over it.

red lips DO NOT look flattering on me.
I use this and it makes me look tanner and more hotter. perfect for the beach. And if you get hair or something in it, just rub lips together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you take this seriously

what the heck who won how do you know because i can fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind it!

candyapplelover on 6/24/2009 9:44:53 PM

OMG that bag is super cute! I want it! I also totally recommend burts bees to everybody! They rock!♥ But the Banana Boat sunscreen is a little to thick for me. I like coppertone better and for my face I use neutregena (however you spell it)Also if your gonna bother bringing a comb snatch some detangler spray if your hair is long (you'll thank me later)That water bottle is the cutest but I know I'm not gonna pay that price. They have awesome ones at tjmaxx and marshalls for half the price. Check out my profile and leave a comment! ~I don't even have 1~

Hey girl, I was actually wondering the same thing! It's probably because they didn't see the other ones and thought they were the first to comment on an article. <3 Jeannie

Thnx

babz94 on 6/14/2009 11:54:07 AM

Yes, DEFINITELY bring sunscreen and water! You don't wanna get burned, so keep reappyling every few hours. Also, keep drinking water so you're hydrated. Keep your makeup minimal at the beach, because when you're swimming you don't want it all to wash off.

ShopperSoccerGurl on 6/13/2009 9:40:33 PM

omigosh i just entered like 30 times. I'm crazy i know. BTW Brittany does a great job in legally blonds i just rented it thursday and i've watched it 3 times! Its Great

Hey Girl, try a modern jean with a vintage top, and try layering or wearing some vintage jewels. *Cara T*

I really like this guy and he told me he liked me back! But like a week after he told me that he asked this other girl out! I asked him if he still liked me and he said he did. What should I do?!?!

Hey girl,

Hey babes, They shouldn't, they are typically known to be more dressy. Maybe just get one and try it out. Xo Lori
