> I'm bleaching my hair right now, Ultra Light Natural Blonde. I go back and forth between blonde and red, and in the past several months I've gone back to blonde, but a medium blonde. I've been thinking of going blonde blonde for a while now, and decided a new job was a good excuse. I can tell its already way blonder than it was! And tomorrow I think I'll go for a haircut. I haven't decided just what yet. I've done the shag and the bob and the flip, I need different but not too complicated. My hair is really thick, so curling or straitening every stand is very time consuming. Also, I have a very short forehead that makes bangs difficult. I usually tuck my hair behind my ears, but that's more necessity than because it looks best that way. I have an idea in mind, layered around my face, and either tucked behind my ears or maybe side bangs. I'd like to have the option of flipping it up or curling it under. I have to have versatility.

> As for makeup talk, has anyone tried any of the mineral makeups? I bought some Milani today, which I've read is the best of the drugstore mineral makeups, but the color I got is too dark. I have trouble getting the right color because I am very fair, but have yellow undertones. I didn't get the lightest of the Milani because it had pink undertones (that's usually the case). I kind of like the way it looked, but its just hard to tell being the wrong color. I usually use Revlon Colorstay. I have some acne scars and freckling that I like to have a fairly heavy coverage for.

> -TMy niece and I spend hours experimenting. (I'm in my robe right now, sans make-up of course). But if I'm in the mood I'm the same way. I've bought Milani, its for darker skin I think. If you like natural looking gloss I love Milani's Crystal Gloss for lips. Since I get all my make-up tips from my niece, she's always tried the crappy stuff already. The best by far that she and I have tried for mineral make-up is "bareminerals". I'm really pale right now and she bought me "warmth" for X-mas. I love it. It adds a touch of color/tan/cover without being noticable at all. If you have an "Ulta" store near you they have everything. It makes me dizzy to go in lol. You can probably find "Ulta" on line but other than BareMinerals I cant recommend anything.
Gloss I got at CVS pharmacy. Good luck!~Jade
PS-If you're REALLY into it I'll make the journey into my make-up drawers but we could be a while!
I have lots of good drug store stuff, along with lots of crap.
