    Need Help Restyling Modern Wedding Dress

    I would avoid chiffon drape, personally. The dress you posted with the drape also has a chiffon skirt. I think adding chiffon to the dress you have would look out of place, as there's nothing else in the dress to tie it in and make it look like part of a cohesive ensemble. Personally, what i...

    For real! End papers are seriously the BEST hair-styling invention ever! OK, maybe not *ever*, but they ARE pretty rad.

    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...

    Lace it up - The true Corset thread

    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...
