Lipstick Answers

I keep reading articles about how it makes them chapped even when nothing’s wrong with them & to just apply lip balm constantly (the problem with that is that my lips get dependent on the lipbalm due to constant application & feeling chapped without it…plus I can’t tolerate the feel of any lip balmstick & that’s why I only use it when I really need to. same goes with gloss & lipstick- I hate how glosses bleed & make my face[especially mouth area] look greasier & lipstick just looks icky & dangerous health-wise).

well basically every single day before i go to sleep i have to put make-up on or when i have a bath/shower i need to put make-up after it or i wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. Then in the morning i take it all off & apply it again. I have to put foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner/liquid eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, blush etc.
i told my friend because my sister was like what is wrong with you i;ve noticed that you put make-up on before you go to sleep…your supposed to take it off..
and then i clicked to it…my mates said that its weird but i dont feel that..
what do you think?

I am 16 years old.
I prefer to be around adults rather than people my own age. I’m just more comfortable with them & seem to have more in common with them like to knit, sew, crochet, & collect little things. The only TV I can stand to watch is either I love Lucy or Andy Griffith. Something about watching DVDs a lot bothers me. I prefer VC-Rs. I dress in either businesswoman clothes like blazers OR old fashioned 1950’s clothing as seen on I Love Lucy. I care about my appearance a lot & like to have curled hair, wear red lipstick & hair ribbons. I cannot stand anything wild & crazy, or any wild & crazy situations. I don’t mind the mall, but my idea of a party is simply people mingling & eating nice food, like we have at my church. I hate crazy, claustrophobic situations, which is why I would never be comfortable being alone with someone my age. I like things to be calm & feel “safe”. I’m not the biggest neat freak on a whole, my room can get messy, but one of my favorite things to do is sort little things I collect from big to small, or neaten out small things like creases in furniture. I love to iron & fold clothes. I am fascinated by little, simple things, like magnets, string, light up items, or anything squishy. I can sit & play for half an hour with something like that. I have good social skills & am said to be a very friendly person & very lady-like. But I am more comfortable with adults & seem to know what to say/do better with adults. I love to joke around with them & make them laugh. I like feeling “small” next to them & being adored & treasured. I also do not believe in sex before marriage, I want to stay pure for as long as possible because I like that innocent feeling. I get attached to people very easily, especially women from 35-60 that I want to take care of me like a child. I have to sleep with my teddy bear & favorite blanket every night or I don’t feel secure. I am mature, I have very mature beliefs & don’t act like the average teen. But, I enjoy things like coloring pictures (I cannot stand to go out of the line, though) & I like little girls’ princess things. I love babies, & want to hold a baby so badly. I also like to play princess & stuff with little girls as much as I like to be with adults. I cannot wait to become a mother(but I will, because I know I am no where near ready). I hate modern gadgets. I want a cell phone but just a plain phone. I don’t like the stupid I-phones & Smart Phones & such. I prefer regular PCs (usually older ones), to newer, fancier laptops & such. I have physical issues as well, I walk on my tip toes, tend to speak quietly(but quickly),and had habits when I was younger such as flapping my arms. I’m sorry if this sounds as if I am full of myself, but I would like to know if you think I am just weird or if something could be wrong with me?? People are always telling me I’m not normal.

Folks I need your advice. This will sound really bloody stupid but have a really bad problem letting go of memories of times when I’ve hurt people. I still get upset now thinking of stupid, trite things I said as a kid. I KNOW that they don’t matter, & I KNOW that the other person involved will have long forgotten about these trivial events, but I can’t stop beating myself up over it. How do I stop this? What the hell is wrong with me that I can’t just let stuff go like a normal person would??
An example – I remember being 8 yrs old, my mum asking me to help her choose a lipstick, & I said it didn’t matter because she was ugly. It was a horrible thing to say (I never did anything nasty like that again, by the way) & I still remember the hurt look on her face & kick myself for it. THAT WAS 22 YEARS AGO!!!! I tried to get it out of my head by talking to her about it a few years back – it was the only way I could make myself feel better. She was shocked, as she’d long forgotten.

Today at lunch, I ran into a former friend from about 9 or 10 years ago. When I knew her, she was engaged, & I remember she had told her husband if there was a stag party with “unfavorable” females showing up, there would be no wedding. Well, there was a stag party with “unfavorable” females before the wedding, & I know this because the groom to be & best man showed up & me & my then-boyfriend’s house a wreck after this party. The groom, half in the bag, begged to use our shower to clean up. He was covered with hickies, lipstick, black magic marker in some “hidden” places & according to the best man? He got lucky with one of the girls. I was disgusted with him, but never told her. She & I weren’t close friends, & I believed this wasn’t my place to tell her & have their wedding ruined. So, I ran into her today at lunch, & she let me have it over this incident, YEARS ago, calling me names & saying I was a traitor for not telling her. I most likely won’t see her again since it’s been so long until now that I’ve seen her, & I’m not going to let something from that long ago bother me too much, but was I wrong to keep this from her then? I just didn’t want to get in the middle of it. I hate the wild stag parties myself, & am thankful my fiancee & his friends wouldn’t do that, but I would be upset too. But on the other hand, why should I be to blame? Plenty of others knew about it. I didn’t even have a chance to ask her if she was still married, & why she’s still griping over it? Should I have told her back then? Or is she being unreasonable? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

It really bothers me when I go to the bathroom in the mall or at school & i see tons of girls crowded around the mirror! They are all re-applying lipstick, putting on baby powder, brushing their hair.. stuff like that. i just think it’s rediculous. many of these girls are absolutely gorgeous, perhaps flawless. Yet, they always feel that they need to touch up or look at themselves in every mirror/window that they walk pass. I used to live in the states & girls hardly spent 2 seconds in the mirror at school & the public bathrooms are usually completely empty! It was mostly the really popular (white) girls that spent a lot of time in front of the mirror…
why do you think the girls do this?
it seems to me that they are insecure but i’m not sure..

No matter what I use my make-up comes off my face in a mettar of hours & I use cover girl. I use powder foundation, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick & (my mom taught me) lipstick for blush. I have used cheap brands & have switched to cover girl a year ago & it STILL comes off after a couple hours. Any tips or ideas Thanks.

Hours ago, I applied a coat of lipstick on Palin, my pet Pit Bull…. and, as far as I can tell…. she’s still a Pit Bull. (Prettier maybe… but, still a Pit Bull.) Now, it was my understanding that, by using this procedure, she would turn into a Hockey Mom . (I could really use a good Hockey Mom around this house right now. I’m exhausted!) Anyway, my question is: Should I keep trying? Maybe use a different brand (or shade) of lipstick? Or, should I just chalk it up as one more “campaign promise” that’s hot air?
Thanks muchly for any opinions or advice you can offer….
