| Make-up advice needed! |
| I'm not exactly a make-up expert and I don't have that much make-up but
whenever I try to apply it, it all goes wrong. I see other girls looking
flawless but my foundation always looks kind of dull and matted even though I
use a liquid one and my blush |

| Secret Santa Supplement for Frayed |
| To Frayed, I LOVE the CD you sent me. I had just started listening to it
when I first wrote about the super collection of gifts you sent me. I'm

Thanks so much!!!!

| Those little GWP mascaras |
| Do they stay good as long as you don't open them? I wonder because they
aren't sealed like full sized mascaras. I have recently (because of all
my Christmas splurging) gained a clinique, an estee lauder, a smashbox,
and a bourjois mascara. I'd li |
| My stinky Sephora package |
| I got my order from Sephora yesterday and as soon as I opened the box
this ooky stink came out of it. After smelling all the contents I

Something to the effect that your clothes can let you down, but diamonds
are forever...
Like, has anyone *ever* received diamonds as a gift which they didn't
care for?

Thanks!
