Well of course! For starters the empire would be divided amongst his son’s sons according to tradition which would weaken internal ties and eventually lead to the formation of the independent states of France and German-oh, wait, you meant the obnoxious radio guy who wishes he were a real rapper so hard he can taste…

I can answer #4!

Hi. Thanks for your thoughts. I am seeing a derm (the one who gave me the retinol) and yes, you are right, I'm not loving what's happening. Part of the drying was me using the retinol and then getting cute and changing moisturizers. Once I went back to my regular one, that helped. But, it still leaves me with the…

YUP. My day time look is always a bright or deep lip color. I keep it real simple on the eyes though - a little bit of mascara and black eyeliner on the upper lashes. For going out I do a heavy eye and a lighter lip, typically.

see now this makes me want to do it even more. i’d love to see a bunch of these from readers.

I am not a particularly hairy person, but I do have pretty dark hair. I have been shaving my upper lip ever since I first smelled the scent of Nair wafting from my mother's bathroom. That stuff smells like rotting fruit mixed with death chemicals. I am not putting that on my face, never mind under my nose.

I’m allergic to one of the ingredients (my dentist posited that it might be the fluoride) and I reaaaaaally want to whiten, but it makes me hella sick. I got in-office whitening as a birthday gift one year and I swear it made no difference.

I am a mythical bearded lady (thanks, PCOS!) and I shave every day. Otherwise I grow a fab beard.

You could try to wash your face at night, slather it with some nice night face cream and leave your eye makeup on. That’s what I do if I know I need to run somewhere early in the morning and won’t have time to put on a whole face until after I shower.

Mine is mascara. Mascara is like a cheat-code for my face.

I have a total love/hate love relationship with this website. I LOVE it because there are so many great tips and products here. I hate it because it’s making me broke buying all these great products.

I have cut my own hair/bangs on multiple occasions and sometimes it turned out really well.

In fairness mine is lipstick.

I use an expensive ($20) shampoo because my hair is faux red, and it re-deposits pigment when I wash, but I use a cheap argan oil conditioner and cheap styling stuff because I don’t have a fancy cut. I’ll just use a leave-in on the ends or something to tame frizz.

gah i want to do one of these so bad, if for no other reason than to actually figure out how much crap i put on my face/spend money on

I don’t know if this is in your plans, but my mom had HORRIBLE rosacea and she got it lasered about ten or fifteen years ago and now she never wears makeup at all. Its amazing.

Girl, my vanity is scattered in at least twenty products right now, and I did a “simple” eye today. I feel you so hard.

That wet and wild !

I give yasses to your glasses.
