And if you want your eyelashes super big for a night out/special occasion, curl them, apply mascara, curl them again and apply more mascara. Come to think of it, using it after mascara might help the curl stay in your lashes better.

My mascara might be three years old. Might. It could be older. You're saying I should do something about that, huh?

how old is that tube of mascara you're using? Did you open it before Thanksgiving...Halloween? If so, do yourself and your eyes a favor and get rid of it!!
* Stay away from multiple use testers at pharmacies or makeup counters. Use single use applicators such as disposable mascara wands. * Discard mascara after three months. The preservatives that guard against microorganisms become less effective with time.

I have to ask, do you have beautiful skin to begin with? I've been very intrigued by this powder, but my skin has some issues. I'd like to know if it would work well for me or if it only works well for those with beautiful skin.B.E.G.|1297841815|2852967 said:Makeup Forever HD powder!

I'm sorry to say you're going to need to bury that tube of mascara. Give it a proper funeral. Perhaps it's own little box. You could throw in an eyelash for it to remember you by. Then bury it and try to forget it. There are younger, hipper, less abusive mascara tubes out there, and the you won't ever experience pain. Nip it in the bud before that tube does become abusive.

It does!
My local Sports Authority has socks that have two layers built in, but they're horribly pricey. I've been making my own - I cut the feet off stockings with runs in them and sew them onto the outsides of athletic socks - just at the top over the elastic, so the actual feet parts are two completely separated layers. Looks really sketchy up close, but works wonders to keep one's feet (relatively soft and somewhat less calloused) and blister-free and it's a whole lot less expensive than yards upon yards of athletic tape

Blister-free, you say? How long are you running? I've got Ultimate season coming up, and anything that will lessen the pain and blistering is welcome! Plus, my feet end up a mess of callouses and it's just gross.
Skippy and LtlFire-I keep trying to use Retin A, but the peeling and drying always make me stop. How do you get past the scaly phase? Do you put it over or under your moisturizer? Thanks!LtlFirecracker|1297737187|2852066 said:Skippy123|1297718072|2851779 said:Sunscreen and Retin A. Retin A fights wrinkles and helps w/acne. Sunscreen helps w/wrinkles. I think I started using sunscreen in my mid 20's. I do think I used Retin A in the early 20's but I would have used it on my forehead and not just for acne.
I second this one.

When you use it around your eyes, does it settle in your wrinkes (if you have them?) This has been a problem for me with just about every powder make-up I've used. Maybe I'm just getting old and I'm noticing this moreElrohwen|1298059293|2854899 said:I agree with BEG that you might need to use concealer or something under the HD powder - I use it around my eyes and on any blochiness. Generally I have clear skin though so I don't use full foundation and get away with concealer. On nights that I'm going out or to a party I use foundation + the power and it looks even better! I think HD powder is great at evening out your skin texture, if not necessarily blotchy color.
