I do my best to NOT think of Justin Bieber. *shudder*

I didn't personally play sports, (I mean, obviously *lol*) but I spent lots of time at basketball and football games to support my friends who played and to root for my school(s). I wasn't the sports type but more the activist/languages/creative clubs type. ;)

It's tough to recommend something for combination skin when I have dry skin, as what I like to use might not necessarily work as well for the oily parts of your skin. Also, I don't know if you want a pressed or a loose powder. I happen to prefer loose as it looks better on my skin but I think they're both equally good. For a high-end loose powder, I love Laura Mercier's and for a low-end or drugstore, L'Oreal's is quite nice. For pressed powder from a high-end brand, I dig MAC's Studio Careblend and from the drugstore, Maybelline's Dream Matte.

Absolutely, although it certainly doesn't feel like it when you lose a pet. I was torn up completely when I lost my cat, Tigger, December 2009. He was almost 16 years old and he was my kitty from the time he was a kitten. I honestly never thought I'd get over it. Every time I thought about him, or looked at one of his pictures, I felt his passing all over again. I would even think I'd feel him rubbing up against my legs or jump on the bed. I was certain I would never want another kitty ever again.

Then my husband brought home an all black kitten from the local animal shelter and I feel head over heels in love with his fluffy little face. Baer made so much of a difference in my healing after the loss of Tigger. I still miss Tigger every day but I have Baer to love and to love me and it's wonderful to have that kitty love again.

I have faith that you'll be okay and that you will feel better, if you don't already and when you're ready to have another kitty, that the right kitty will find you.

I think this depends on your skin type. I have very dry skin and so I apply my regular daytime facial moisturizer before applying a tinted moisturizer. I treat a tinted moisturizer as a makeup item and not a skincare one. I suppose if you have oily or even combination skin, you could skip your regular moisturizer instead of the tinted.

The Tarte are actually lip stains so their staying power is much longer than the Clinique. Both CoverGirl and Revlon sell lip stains, but neither are as good as Tarte's. And both Milani and NYX sell lipstick pencils, the Milani are quite lovely.

I've only used a few items of Philosophy's makeup line and I like it okay. I don't think it's really all that wonderful, although I absolutely love their tinted moisturizer. It's quickly moved up to tie with Laura Mercier's as my favorite.

That's a really good question and I don't know if I can answer it. *lol* If I had to pick a specific shade, one that's currently available, I think it would be Sweetie. It's a Lustre, which is my favorite of MAC's Lipstick finishes and is a subtle mid-tone plummy pink, very wearable but pretty. I'd love to be Bare Slimshine but it's discontinued. It's one of the most "me" shades of MAC lipstick, subtle, nude with a bit of pink and shiny. :)

Unfortunately, there will always be folks who go out of their way to be nasty for no good reason. I think some are just miserable and want to spread it and others just get off on thinking they've hurt someone's feelings.

The best way to deal with these asshats is to ignore them. Sure, it sounds trite but it's really best way, at least it has been for me. Sometimes I'll entertain one of these people for my own sick and immature pleasure but more often than not, I block the person and remove their comment. It's my channel and I have the right not to see an insulting/hateful/nasty comment if I choose not to.

That's a question I've never been asked before. *lol* Kudos to you for coming up with something original! I'm pretty sure I can't come up with a specific eye shadow that has the exact same amount of shimmer as Urban Decay's Half Baked. However, it has a similar finish as MAC's Veluxe Pearl shadows, so you could probably find a silver eye shadow from their line of Veluxe Pearl shadows that has a similar finish as Half Baked.

A lot of people have requested this but I'm on the fence about it. I know more people enjoy this type of video than don't but I don't know how willing I am to subject myself to those handful of asshats. Ya know? *lol*

I'll probably do an updated collection/storage video eventually, I just don't know when.

I don't think I have one but if I had to choose, I'd say Maybelline's Color Sensational or L'Oreal's Infallible.

I have no idea but if you figure it out, let me know.

I have no clue. *lol* I think you covered them all except for The Makeup Show in New York. I don't really pay too much attention to beauty trade-type shows.

WOW-that's a tough one! I think it would be Modelette. It's discontined and I have one back-up that I hope will last me until MAC eventually repromotes it.

Absolutely! He does most of the cooking at home, as at this point in his career, his job is more management than actual cooking.

I don't have a favorite, or at least I'd never admit to one favorite. ;) There are a handful of folks I enjoy watching but not one person that I value above any others.

I don't think I have one, to be honest. I'm not overly impressed by drugstore brand lip balms. I do really like Carmex, the tube version and in Cherry. That stuff is pretty fantastic.

*lol* You are very sweet, thank you. I'm sure I'll give up YouTube someday but I don't plan for that day to be any day soon. :)

I actually don't watch a lot of videos. I don't have a lot of time. When I do watch, I love videos from xsparkage, JulieG713, hollyannaeree, lisaeldridgedotcom, loulud81, NancyValentino and pixiwoo.
