    Need Help Restyling Modern Wedding Dress

    Help With Sponge Rollers - Newbie!

    You might also try to experiment with different setting patterns - I roll my hair down, all sections (except my bangs). What was wrong with your style? Was it too frizzy? Could you post pics? That might help us figure out what the problem is. BTW, there's a pre-existing thread on sponge...

    Lipstick Chapping

    I'm a super chapstick freak. I have to have it all the time, I put it on a lot, and I have to have one in my pocket, my purse, my bedroom, my desk... hahaha.

    Lipstick Chapping

    Is it a matte shade? If so, you might just need to switch to one of their creamier lines. I always put lip balm (non-petroleum-based) on my lips before applying my primer, lipstick, etc. After blotting, powdering or whatever regimen you use, you can also use a little bit of matching...

    Thanks! I know you're a very seasoned corset wearer, Annalai, and this is information that I had read elsewhere online as well. One of the problems I have is that my waist sits way up right under my ribs. An issue I frequently have with this is that, as I move around (and especially...
