Answer 1

hair:

Your hair grows faster when you put it up. But Bead Head minipulator help with fly away hairs..

skin care:

Try proactive. I used it and it helped ALOT.

make up:

If you want something from a drugstore, I love Rimmel London foundation. It smells good and works well. Also get a pack of those oil absobers for when your in school and your makeup get oily.

For your eyes stick with browns and tan shadows.

other stuff:

To stop from bitting your nails put nail polish remover over them.. It tastes discusting so you wont want to bite them.

Paint your nails often with different colors.

Jeans with a tank is super cute.  

Answer 2

I know that using the original Curel lotion with no color dyes or scents is a really good moisturizer to use. =]

Answer 3

Hair:

Eat healthy oils and drink lots of water to get shiny hair. Beyond that, use a hair finishing creme to add shine and protect it from the heat if you use a blow dryer or flat iron. That will make it glossy, too. Dove has a shine shampoo that adds a tint of shimmer but I haven't tried it.. yet. =)

Skin care:

Use an oil free moisturizer. That will help smooth the dry areas but it won't make you break out. Neutrogena has some good ones (with SPF). That will help you to avoid breakouts. Still, don't apply to much moisturizer to oily areas even if it is an oil free one. Also... never pick your pimples, it makes them last way longer and leaves scars.

Makeup:

I like Rimmel's liquid foundation with the pink cap. It has a tiny tint, so it doesn't look chalky or cakey. And it's not too thick and heavy but it doesn't fade out.

To make your blue eyes pop use charcoal, grey, or dark brown liner. Go easy on your lower lashline. Curl your eyelashes... it works wonders!!! Practice techniques that you see in magazines and stuff though so it looks more natural, not like "too much".

Other Stuff:

Paint your nails, wear fake nails, wear a ring or something to remind you not to.

Paint your nails any color you want... nail color is versatile. I like natural looking colors best thuogh like tinted pinks etc.

Wear something simple but nice for the first day. It depends on your style. Don't dress up too much, just have your hair down and wear jeans or something along with a nice shirt. Something that matches your eyes would look good.

Answer 4

For my hair I honestly like to use L'Oreal kids shampoos. They smell delicious and make my hair feel amazing :P The strawberry smoothie shampoo makes my hair really soft and pretty. And for growing out your hair you should make sure you get trims every like 5-7 weeks since if you don't, once your hair is nice and long you have to cut it off since it's completely damaged.

Neutrogena has a really nice moisturizer for combination skin (oily and dry) and it doesn't clog pores. The only thing is that it doesn't have any SPF. For blackheads I think that the Neutrogena wave used with any scrub will work fine. There are also strips that Biore makes that are good for blackheads. I personally think that their "Ultra" strips are worse than their normal ones. For pimples I recommend going to a dermatologist. You have to be patient with things they give you, but it's totally worth it. Topical is generally better than like pills because pills mess with your body more. I recommend asking about Duac and Tazorac (two topical acne meds).

I really like Clinique foundation. Their Superfit is great for combination skin. Set that with a loose powder from Clinique with a cotton ball and it looks really nice and makes sure your foundation is really well blended. Black eyeliner looks really nice on most people, I love Smashbox cream eyeliner and then using black eyeshadow in addition as an eyeliner so it really doesn't smudge at all. Brown and purple also look nice with blue eyes.

Paint your nails some cool and bright color that everyone will notice, people will comment on them. Browns and purples (again) would probably look nice for clothing colors, but experimenting is probably the way to go.

Sorry I didn't answer everything but I answered most of it :P

Answer 5

Put bandaids on your fingers until you stop biting.

I know it's kinda nasty, but it works.

You can use tape too, or gloves.

Also, i suggest a nuetral biege colour with a french manicure! (AFTER you stop biting your nails! lol!)

lastly, be careful with long nails, because they chip easily. I used sally hansen nail cream to make them stronger.

Answer 6

wow you have a lot of questions

well how i stopped biting my nails is that i painted them and kept them painted

then if i bit them they tasted nasty

so eventually i just stopped

and you shud paint your nails a soft pink if your into that kinda thing

or sometimes just paint a really random color like lime green or something

people always ask me about it and then i make new friends from starting a convo.

hope i could help :]
