come on girls, lets get some good conversations going here!

Goodness, Vegas, it sounds like visiting you guys is going to be a blast!

I always wear makeup, even if I am not going anywhere. I have to be really, really sick to not put on makeup or do my hair. I guess I just feel better about myself and more confident when I have everything put together.

I order my Bare Minerals on ebay and pay 1/3 of the price that you find in Sephora or from them directly. I've ordered from ebay for almost 2 years now, and have never had any issues.

No cabs for us - we drive to the casinos - and we valet - it's free - only a tip - $1-$2 and so much easier and less expensive than a cab or messing with parking garages down on the strip.

You don't have to bring LOTS of money - just your debit card!!!

I don't find the Bare Minerals that expensive when you figure that the foundation lasts about 6 months - it's $25 --- how much do you pay for the liquid stuff and how long does it last? I think in the long run, it's less expensive -- and next time I am running low I'm going to check out the site Tiffy gave me on ebay! I don't own any other make-up - I threw it all out once I found out how much I love Bare Minerals ... I've converted a few friends, both my sisters, my sister-in-law and my dad's wife! If it was a home-based business - live tupperware - I'd sell it in a heartbeat!

DASIY----DONT Worry about a thing, damn girl....we are going to have fun and RELAXXXXXX ok? Vegas uses bare minerals and she loves it......YOU two girls can have some fun together, as long as you dont forget about me ...LOL

I never wear make-up. I think of it as something for the stage. So when I dress up in another persona or for a performance, I use it. That would mainly be any formal event (I consider a tux or evening gown to be a costume) and also for skating performances.

I just blow dry my hair so it's not super wet and put some gel in it in the morning and hope it all falls into place properly by the time I get to work. I find a really good haircut gives you hair that requires a lot less maintenance. (Or it can if you don't want to do something totally different like curl it when it's straight or straighten it when it's curly.)

I have a really hard time getting my hair to curl. I used to get perms all the time, but they never took and they damaged my hair so badly. That's what I need. I need a cut that looks ok but requires not much maintenance.

I guess I think like Mac. I wear makeup if it's something special. If mineral wear requires little time to get it on and look good, I am willing to try it. How do they figure out which color to get. I don't think I can do that online.

Hey thanks Bob. VA tells me you'll play tour guide while she works, so there is no way I will forget you!

They'll have all the colors of foundation available at the store - my guess is you'll use the same shade as me since we're both fairskinned -- I bought mine offline the first time and it came with 2 different shades - I mixed them and that's how I determined what shade to buy -- don't worry - I'll take care of you!!!

As for the hair, my hairdresser is GREAT when it comes to knowing how to cut my hair so it's more or less wash and wear -- I love the style right now -- I can wash it and do nothing - and it's straight, or I can put some mousse in it and scrunch it and it's curly -- not sure where the curl is coming from, as I've always had straight hair; but everytime I get it cut, there's more of it!

I'm sure she'll be able to figure out something for you, too, Daisy!

Do you know how much she charges for a hair cut?

Are you going to make me an appt. then?

What do you consider a long time? I timed myself this morning - 8 minutes from beginning to end - including eyeliner and mascara and lipstick ... is that too long?

Do you know how much she charges for a hair cut?

Are you going to make me an appt. then?

I don't know what she charges -- I pay $72 for color, cut and style - which I don't think is all that bad every 6 weeks ... I'll talk to her about working you in while I'm cooking under the hair dryer -- I'm sure it won't be an issue ...

It's not the time for me. I don't like how makeup feels on my skin or that you have to replenish it. Also, I don't feel like I really need it. Maybe that's because I'm a software engineer so I work with my fellow geeks and nerds.

I don't need color or anything but a trim. They already cut too much off, but it looks boxy and I want my sides to be cut at an angle. I will bring a picture.

I am really really lucky. I am almost 57 and no gray hair. My dad had none when he died at 90!

Daisy, that is lucky! I don't have any yet and my parents didn't start turning until they were in their late 60's, so I am hoping I have the same luck. The minute it does start to turn, I will start to color. Unfortunately, I do get some very annoying gray eyebrow hairs. I pluck those babies the minute I see them.

I hate to do make up too. Maybe 10 years ago a friend of mine told me about Medical Pigmentation. It is like "tatoos". I had my brows done and top and bottom eye liner. The lady that did it works for a burn center and does unbelievable reconstruction. She has all kinds of credentals. It lasts for probably 3 years and then fades to the point I go back and have a touch up. It was a life/time saver when I was working. So I put on some lip stick and away I go. If dressing up I do Bare Minerals foundation and I am good to go. I love it. carol
