I would suggest this brush set:

Rather than the one you've chosen. I've owned both and have gotten much more use out of the linked one than that other set. While the other is more extensive, this set has more useful brushes and is a little better quality.
Everything else looks great!
How important having the right brush is for success with ABH Dipbrow!
I tried it a few times with a small-ish eyeshadow/lip brush and kept looking like I'd drawn them on with a sharpie.
Once I bit the bullet and got an eyebrow-specific brush (small angle brush on one end, spoolie on the other) my brow game was forever changed.
Doesn't have to be expensive either, I got this one on Amazon and it works great!
I Love organization and love the organization posts :D I posted my ikea-made vanity set in a thread once but I wanted to share the whole setup.
Also /u/Thatsbasic suggested a 'shelfie saturday' in another comment so I thought I'd give it a try :3
Top of the hutch: makeup brushes, larger bottles, and a little basket for all my AB samples, pore strips, etc.
Top row: perfume (no AB), and some Face Shop cotton pads
Middle row: all my AB products, plus some sunscreen, hair products, and deodorant hiding behind them
Bottom row:
empty space: sheet masks and makeup wipes
Drawer: Makeup--a couple AB things in there :)
The spray bottle in the first picture is a flairosol (wow they are cool) that I filled with aloe vera juice, rosewater, and glycerine.
And no, those are not a new type of packaging for the ordinary. I do totally think they should adopt my idea, but they're just airless pumps purchased from Amazon that I filled with ordinary serums and transferred the label to.
I have generally oily skin.
Edit: Not pictured: CosRx low pH gel cleanser, LRP Toleriane hydrating cleanser, TO 30% peel, and CosRx AHA/BHA toner. They all live in my shower caddy.
Edit 2: here is a link to Amazon for the airless pumps: White Airless Vacuum Pump Travel Bottles Refillable- 1 oz (Set of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C3UMR46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YcfhAb23QR78M
Edit 3: here is my skincare routine. It is in order of product layering, lightest/water based followed by heavier/oil based products. I don't actually look at that though. I have it memorized.
Did some searching
They are only a few bucks at Wal-Mart.
You too can have one!
EDIT: Here is one for 6$ from Amazon
Here:
1 The lightest, flimsiest, and most natural looking - would be an everyday lash for me if I was in a client facing position. My top choice for learner lashes because they are cheap and non irritating, and can take enough of a beating
2 A bit fuller, band is slightly more durable. I like the way these look more than 1, but they are a little bit harder to learn on.
I'd stay away from these entirely because they are absolutely the worst things to work with, and I can usually slap on falsies in about 2 minutes - these take 10 minutes and a bunch of cutting and trimming. band is super inflexible. awful.
good luck! shipping time kind of sucks and is sporadic, i've gotten them within a week or forgotten and see a surprise a month later...

There you go!
I'm a fan of GoToobs.
They are silicone and the rotating collar reveals the product type.
My ma got knock offs at Target (I think) but can't confirm their BITL status.
Enjoy!

I thought this might be helpful for others who are tight on space. Welcome to my 46 squarefoot closet.
This is everything I used for the vanity, but feel free to ask about other stuff in the pictures.
Lipstick,
Tri cup organizer,
3 Drawers,
Multi level palette,
Nail polish
I find the lipstick organizer to be kind of narrow. KVD bullets don't fit in it, bummer.

The other awesome thing is cheap eyelashes from Amazon, like 10 pairs for $2 kind of cheap. I buy style 0, they look the most like natural. If you wear glasses and find that lashes usually hit your lenses, these are the perfect length. The trick to putting on eyelashes without having your own is to anchor the outer third of the strip first. You hold onto the center of the strip with tweezers, lay the outer corner first, then let go of the strip completely (they shouldn't move) and grab the inner corner with your tweezers and slowly guide the rest of the strip onto your eyelid. If this doesn't make sense, let me know I'll be happy to make a video for you. With the secure hold glue, make sure you let it get a little tacky before applying. About thirty seconds should do it.

It is only as dangerous as the tools you are using. I advocate using oral syringes to administer nicotine. Here is a link to 1ml oral syringes on amazon
With this syringe and a good glass bottle like this I see no reason people can't take on 100mg nicotine as long as they use gloves.
Try making sure you have your SGFC raised off of the ground by a few inches. Have at least 4 or 5 inches of soaked perlite. Buy a spray mister for less than 9 bucks on amazon like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D7BJ6MW/ref=yo_ii_pd_dx_s_1?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00D7BJ6MW&pd_rd_r=JZXCGNS1W0W45EKS2HJ1&pd_rd_w=DpPiD&pd_rd_wg=gRcEj&psc=1&refRID=92AV4PNY1FAMPS4R7SY9
Mist and fan a few times a day until pins form. After pins form, cut way back on misting and fanning. Maybe mist once a day or even two. Fan a couple times a day. They tend to do well with some C02 buildup.
I found this video helpful when I was first learning. It's more in depth than would be needed for a beginners video, but it should help you learn what everything is and what it does. When I was starting with make up, I just focused on learning to apply concealer, foundation, eyeliner and mascara, and then once I felt I had a good grip on those I moved on to learning eye shadow. Still working on making eye shadow look good consistently tho.

Edit: Also, this is a good, cheap brush set to start with
Thank you! I found them on amazon and you get 50 5g jars which is about the perfect size for the samples. I don’t fill them all the way with wax though so they smell very strong.

these are pretty nice for me!
Definitely. I actually just ordered an E.L.F brush set (This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HKR6WM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and it is a really good beginner set. I didn't wash them before first use, though, and there must've been some kind of chemical on them because it really irritated my skin. After washing they've been perfect though! It's only twelve, and they have directions on the packaging.
Don't wash your face too much, your skin could be greasy because it is too dry. If my face looks greasy during the day, I dab it with a tissue. There are oil absorbing sheets you can get too, like this. Wash with a cleanser, CeraVe is a very popular brand on this sub, and seriously look into some creams with active ingredients like BHA(aka salicylic acid), AHA(glycolic acid + a few others), and benzoyl peroxide. These are 3 things that you can get over the counter. Check out the wiki on the sidebar for "Acne" there are a couple of other ingredients you could look into as well, like vitamin C and clay. If you read this sub more you'll see people mention stuff like clindamcin or tretinoin, but those are Rx so go to a derm if you can.
Have patience! If will get better :)
Yeah, I dropped $126 and waited anxiously for 10 days just to hear that. So fucking frustrating. If anyone's curious what I bought specifically:
Sample containers:
௳ The bottles with the green flip-caps are from Amazon (~0.5oz/15mL each, $21.99 for 36).
௳ The little pots with screw-on lids are also from Amazon (3mL each, $7.99 for 50). I wound up making 2 pots for each sample because they were a little smaller than I had imagined (Starfish Lord, grant me the presence of mind to look at dimensions before ordering things), so next time I might get these slightly bigger ones (5mL each, $10.00 for 50).
Decanting supplies:
௳ I used these plastic transfer pipettes (3mL, $4.50 for 100) to decant anything that I could suck up with them.
௳ Anything in a pot was decanted using these wooden spatulas ($22.98 for 500); I put 2-3 in with each potted sample and kept the rest for myself. (Forgive me, my Spiny-Skinned Savior, for lacking the diligence to wash and dry my plastic spatulas after each use; pray accept my disposable compromise or guide me to a better way).
Baggies:
௳ The small ones are from the Container Store (2.5” x 3”, $0.89 for package of 10).
௳ The larger ones are from Wegmans, but similar ones are available at Target (3.5” x 5.5”, $2.24 for 64).
Markers:
I tested a lot of different markers before I found some that didn’t smear/smudge/wipe-off and that could withstand the watery trials of the bathroom counter. From my own stash, these three worked:
௳ Gold: Montana Acrylic Extra Fine Point (0.77mm) Marker in Matte Gold (Metallic) (available from Dick Blick for $5.35).
௳ White: Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Extra-Fine Point Marker in White (available from Joann for $2.62).
௳ Teal/peacock blue: Derwent Graphik Line Painter (acrylic, 0.5mm) in Brilliant (available from Dick Blick for $3.96).
No problem. I decanted mine into these bottles and I use a pump on my face, neck and chest. If there's anything left over I smear it on my hands.
I love these from Amazon- mine have lasted more than 6 months and I've refilled some of them multiple times with no issues or breakage. If you have a problem with defective product, Amazon Prime products are best because Amazon has such a generous replacement/refund policy if there's an issue down the line.
Travel writer human person here. Feel free to ask questions!
Amazon has some awesome ones - look up "fine mist" spray bottles. This one is my favorite, but it is a little big. Muji has some great ones too.
This is what I use from Amazon - they're $13 each shipped with Prime. I use two of them and ended up looking like this - that's close to 100 concentrates in the racks themselves (you could fit more if you have smaller bottles (10-15ml). I could probably use a third, since I now have one full row in front and a second starting...
Most wire is just re-branded [Temco wire] (https://temcoindustrial.com/shop/wire-cable-accessories/non-resistance-wire). Go straight to the source and pay pennies on the dollar compared to branded wire.
Cotton/wick is just about the same - just go for unprocessed/non-bleached cotton. [Shiseido] (https://www.sephora.com/product/facial-cotton-P173726), [Puff] (https://www.amazon.com/Selena-Organic-Cotton-Puff-200Pc/dp/B00N7E9YYO/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1509981371&sr=1-3&keywords=puffs+cotton), [Muji] (https://www.amazon.com/Makeup-Facial-Cotton-Unbleached-180pcs/dp/B00VHA3ZXQ/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1509981407&sr=1-1&keywords=muji+cotton), etc. Or get some [Rayon from Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-Feet/dp/B001BKY3B0). $7 for enough wick to last you several years.
I recently decanted my kiku in a spray bottle and LOVE it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D7BJ6MW/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not only does it spray super finely, but I can't finally start incorporating more body care into my post-shower routine. I used to buy those spray lotions, but wanted to find an alternative that wasn't as wasteful and with better products. Not going back!
Edited to add- please make sure to sanitize your bottle before putting product into it!
Hmmm, so I don't have an actual vanity and I am a HUGE scavenger/recycler. I basically use things that I already have and make them work for me. Here are some pics so you can better see the use of boxes and lids for organization.
I also use prescription bottles to hold all brushes, mascaras, etc. because I have A TON laying around. For the extremely brief period of time that I used a beauty sponge, I kept it in a prescription bottle cap or a metal cap from a fancy juice bottle.
The 2 boxes I've repurposed to store different make up items. One was a large mascara sampler box that is sturdy and has a nice magnetic closure so I decorated it using packaging to make a collage.
If you're not looking to buy anything new for storage/organization I highly recommend thinking creatively! Perhaps lids from jars (I use the cookie tin as a trash can and the lid as a mixing palette), shoeboxes could work, or with the upcoming holidays any boxes you may receive. Do you have baskets laying around or glasses/bakeware that are unused?
Not everyone wishes to go my route when it comes to organization so there are specific organizers like this one from Amazon and many you can find at TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Home Goods that are inexpensive. Always remember at those stores, things can be turned into storage or organizers! Particularly kitchen items like spice displays/racks or fridge organizers.
And depending on how you'd like to store your nail polish, wall displays are also nice and somewhat space saving. Here is an example from Amazon, but I believe Ikea and other stores have single shelves that you can purchase for much less and just install multiples of.
I love make up storage and organization (despite my set up being pretty wonky) so I apologize for the huge essay!!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FPOOJL2/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I just got 2 of these. They work perfectly.
Nail polish organizers like this one or two or three.
I went on Amazon and searched "fingernail polish rack".
The one I bought was a wall mounted rack I put above my desk. It holds like 100 paints and I think I spent $20 on the rack. And if I needed to I could move the rack over on the wall and mount two side by side.
But when you search for nail polish racks on Amazon you'll get desk mounted and wall mounted results.
Edit: Link the one I have.

Supposing your friend has no brushes/tools:
That brings us to around $54, but if you keep an eye out for sales, you can definitely find some good deals. The NYC eye shadow base and setting spray and the clump crusher mascara are VITAL to me. Everything else can probably be subbed.
These are awesome! I've been using the GoToob bottles (I got them way cheaper than this listing [http://www.amazon.ca/HumanGear-GoToob-3-0-Ounce-3-pack-HG0187/dp/B002VS8H3G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415331508&sr=8-1&keywords=gotube] at my local pharmacy, but they're leakproof and squeezable which works good for creams) for my mineral oil and BP cream, then carrying around my full bottles of BHA/AHA, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I don't know if your set up is best for me, but I'm trying to revamp a little and this is an awesome idea. (Keep em coming, if you've got em!)
I think these might be the same ones: http://www.amazon.com/beauty/dp/B006U98T08
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006U98T08/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AQDY5GD0WP9RT Thanks! I've never even heard of some of those! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You could get some smaller bottles like these and split them in half so you can keep some of all four scents.
Spray is good. Mister is better. Surface area is the key. What my barber uses
Amazon sells airless pumps like this. I know that Skinactives sells various bottles as well. I think one of those might work, though I've never tried it.
I prefer a pump. But you have to struggle at the last 1/4. I just refill. I am not a huge decanter. Mostly keep stuff in the orignal buttle. Not a lover of dropper bottles. Maybe you get further down the bottle without struggling with it vs a pump? Clearly not air proof, but not all pumps are. I just find them cumbersome. I would decant products out of dropper bottles, if it were easier to get the product out in one shot. The main thing I decant is my Scinic AIO, as it the jar is messy to work with. Also Holika aloe gel, as that cute aloe bottle is hard to control the amount comming out. Some of the bottles broke on me. I drop things. I decant some serums, because I think the antioxidants might last longer in a more opaque/airless bottle.
Bottles I like: These are good airless and opaque pumps. Here. Hard to tell when they are empty though or when you filled them. Looks like it might be clear, but the bottle is hard white plastic. But it keeps out air and light and keeps the ingredients fresh.
These are a bit easier to work with and small, so might be better for travel. Still dark to keep out most of the light but you can see the product. Air cleary gets in.
I am liking these misters, though clearly not for essences. They are a bit larger than I expected. They mist nicely. Again the blue keeps a fair amount of light out. Not to many toners I like to mist, but a few.
I have these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C3UMR46/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're white airless pump bottles, I use them for creams, lotions, toners, oils, sunscreens, actives, and even foundation. And since it's a pump, there's less risk of contamination as with using your fingers in a jar :D
A lot of people on r/makeupaddiction rave about these brushes https://www.amazon.com/BS-MALL-Premium-Synthetic-Foundation-Concealers/dp/B01LZ3RLPC?crid=1792VEOLO6T5X&keywords=makeup+brushes&qid=1537542294&sprefix=makeup+&sr=8-3&ref=mp_s_a_1_3
I really like the black-handled Elf brushes, got a set of 10 brushes for around 11 USD but not sure if the set is available in Australia. :/ Someone else mentioned they go for around 8 AUD though.
If you have access to Amazon somehow, I bought the BH Mall brush set a few months back and absolutely love them. A YouTuber I follow also uploaded a video review of them today, oddly enough. She didn't like the angled brow brush but I absolutely adore it.
Good info! Also consider Shiseido cotton pads for about $10:

Buy one of these. It will improve your life.
I have and have always had these on my upper inner thighs. I've recently discovered that these wire blackhead thingies are really good at removing them.
Exfoliating helps, but at least for me has never fully fixed it.
The flat side of a tool like this works well for me for removing actual blackheads. My skin is more prone to bruising/scarring if I use a bobby pin, but not everyone's skin is as sensitive as mine.
I think the best way to think about your theme is, just the things that make us feel pampered, loved, and beautiful. What gifts can you buy that could put self-love back into someone's life? Maybe it's just giving someone a few things to alleviate stress, like some nice bath products or a subtle candle scent. Or maybe you could just look for items that accentuate femininity and grace, like a embroidered handkerchief! Here is a list of things that will give the ladies in your life some help giving back to themselves:

Check out Amazon. I got a 12-piece set of e.l.f. brushes for about $12 with Prime.
Edit: Found it!
Really love Go Toob. They're really squishy so you can actually use up most of the stuff that's in there. We haven't had an issue with leaks but I don't use them for the really liquidy stuff (because we don't have enough!).
Bonus protip, if you need to fill a tube with something that comes in a jar, baby medicine syringes work amazingly well. Husband uses this with his hair cream with great success.
Can you keep mini disposable wash cloths (like baby wipes) or oil sheets (http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Oil-Absorbing-Sheets-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382829057&sr=8-2&keywords=Oil+sheets) on hand to wipe down your skin every hour or so? You might get oil buildup that bothers your skin which doesn't help if it stays on open pores for 5-6 hours.
oh I have the same issue. Ok, so my dad gave me those microfiber lens cleaners that are better than regular microfiber clothes or cotton, something like this Always keep something like that around.
Also, regularly using oil absorbing sheets helps. I like Clean & Clear's https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Absorbing-Sheets-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I
I also always keep napkins or tissues around to wipe off my eyebrows, often oily eyebrows are the culprit of oil getting on glasses. Anywhere hair is on the face, you will get more oil production-so making it a habit to wipe your eyebrows with a napkin or tissue will help
i am not really sure what you mean about the eyelid thing, maybe a picture would help?
i have never used costal scents, but ive seen a few girls here make some nice looks with it. no idea on the quality. i know you said ELF is too expensive, but this palette is only 10 pounds. i have it and i like it. they are pretty good quality for a cheaper eye shadow palette. if you can afford some eye primer, the colors will look even better. i use urban decay primer potion, but that sounds like its a little out of your budget, maybe someone can recommend a cheap one!
i have combination skin (oily and dry! ughhh) and I always use liquid foundation. Powder can make the dry spots look really flaky. Revlon Colorstay is a good drugstore brand, I like it, it has good coverage and staying power, and I hear a lot of people mention it on here.
[edit] i see you are a teen and have youthful skin. if you dont get many breakouts and dont have a lot of unevenness in your skin tone, you could probably get away with a tinted moisterizer or a BB cream instead of a full coverage foundation. i recently got a sample of loreals BB cream and I was a big fan!
i really like ecotools brushes. They are good quality and relatively cheap!
Good luck!

These are the cheap ones I use that I like a lot. Shipping takes a while, though.
I started wearing falsies everyday since maybe february and haven't looked back! I buy these in bulk
http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Handmade-Natural-False-Eyelashes/dp/B006GKHIHQ/ref=pd_bia_nav_t_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ETSKR6PY14E61NH07E9
I can use a pair for up to 2 weeks if I'm careful/don't get drunk and ruin them. They are so natural looking no one ever suspects a thing ;) I usually have to cut the ends a bit cause they're too long for my eye length, plus it's more natural looking if they don't span across your entire eye from corner to corner. Let me know if you want me to post a picture of me wearing them or anything :)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GKHIHQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're actually cheaper than I remember! They're a little weird to get used to but actually really nice once you do. You can only wear them a couple times though. And I'd carry around a little extra glue since the thread thing that holds them together is pretty flimsy.
I'm not entering but just wanted to give some recommendations because this is really sweet.
For brushes, Real Techniques makes some fabulous sets(you could perhaps get the eyes and core collection to get someone started), ELF Studio makes a nice set, and I have heard good things about this one.
For lipsticks, I'm a big fan of the Rimmel Kate Moss line and NYX Round Case lipsticks with Tea rose being one of my favorite colors. If you're interested in buying one non drugstore item, a MAC lipstick would be an amazing gift.
For the face trio, Sleek makes this amazing palette with a contour powder, highlighter, and blush. I also highly recommend their single blushers. Individual items I would recommend from the drugstore are the NYC Sunny bronzer or NYX Taupe, Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana highlighter or the Boots liquid illuminator, and NYX powder/cream blushes.
For shadows, I'm going to recommend Sleek again. They make fabulous 12 pan palettes called i-divine. Some favorites of mine are the Original, Au Natural, and Oh So Special.
Some other products I love that would be great for a beginner are the NYX milk pencil, Maybelline Color Tattoos, Covergirl Clump Crusher, Revlon lip butters, and an Asian bb cream(Missha, Skinfood, and Holika Holika make some good ones).
He's never gonna hear the end of this!
Okay, here's my answer. I go the oral route. I make a solution using propylene glycol (aka "PG").
My recipe for 4-ACO-DMT: .5g powder --> 4ml PG, combined in a small amber dropper bottle. Shake well until totally smooth. In my experience, 8 drops is a good starter dose. I just put the drops into a beverage and down it.
Obviously, you need a scale. You can get a decent one for under $20. One that is highly recommended the Gemini-20.
I do 1 part tea tree to 9 parts jojoba. I bought these and I usually mix like three bottles worth at once and it lasts a while. I use a syringe but I still haven't found one that easily pulls the oil because it's so thick.
My favorite is the #7 Anastasia too!! (aka 7b on Ulta) but I've heard the Ardell duo brow brush is a dupe.
I tried so many - from dollar store, from Amazon, never found any that delivers a nice, uniform mist!
The ones I tried on Amazon (and disappointing) were:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7BJ6MW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My search is on for a good mist dispenser.
My Hylamide Spray is near over - so I am thinking of re-using it for Kikusamune!
Would love to see if anyone has suggestions for a good spray bottle that puts out even mist (like say Mac fix plus bottle)

A bit over the price you're asking for though.
This one should work: http://www.amazon.com/Bella-Multi-Level-Nail-Polish-Organizer/dp/B00FPOOJL2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1456883193&sr=8-8&keywords=nail+polish+rack
Some folks recommend things like nail polish organizers.
I use a foam filled hardshell case from harbor freight for mod organization (I have too many mods) and a cheap plastic toolbox to organize atties (in the tool tray up top) and building supplies below. If you drill little holes for the 510s all your atties can stand up neatly in the tool tray.

Pretty cool. A suggestion for your next iteration, sand down the pieces you are going to cast as you can see the grain of the wood.
If you need quick iterations without casting, you can also try the link below. With a quick spray paint job and gluing the magnets or washers inside you can make lots of them really fast for pretty cheap.

yeah like someone else said, i’m not super sure what look you were going for. personally, if ur just starting w makeup i’d just start w a bb cream as foundation (depending on what level of coverage u need), mascara, and a lip colour. unless ur in a transphobic or homophobic area, definitely don’t be afraid to go to a local drug store and ask whoever’s at the makeup counter for help finding a good foundation shade!! they’re usually really friendly. unlike another commenter, i wouldn’t recommend trying contouring. it’s really hard to get right, especially if ur inexperienced. eyebrows can be tricky too bc going too dark can be very masculinizing. in terms of eyeshadow and eyebrows, watching some youtube videos or, if you can afford it, getting just a half hour makeup lesson can be really helpful. you can look up the definitions cuz it’s hard to describe without pictures, but ultimately all you need is a transition shade for your crease, a shade to go on your eyelid, and a darker shade for your outer “crease” if you want to deepen the look. (a n eye primer can be very helpful for blending out your eyeshadow and getting the brightest colour. the last i’ll say is remember that the way ur face looks in the lighting of ur bedroom is not how it’ll look outside in the sunlight. i’d recommend doing ur makeup in the brightest light in ur home. finally, if the time comes that you want a full-ish brush set, i’ve heard this one is really good if ur on a budget. sorry if this is wayyyy too much. makeup can be intimidating at first, but youtube will be ur best friend for the first little bit. the most important thing is to practice. hope this could be of some help :). ultimately makeup is about having fun, feeling confident, and expressing yourself.
I really like real techniques. Also if you want a good set for cheap this set from amazon is amazing actually

Currently 9.99 I have not regretted this at all.
Makeup brushes are typically softer than paint brushes out of the package. I'd like to recommend this awesome makeup brush set that's super low cost. Bonus, whatever you don't find she responds well to for BDSM purposes she can add to her makeup collection.
I think it's this one:

These right here are all you need [Shiseido Cotton Facial Pads] (http://www.amazon.com/Shiseido-0446125933235-Facial-Cotton/dp/B00020E1P8)
Shopper Drug Mart sells them for 11 bux. Cut the pads lengthwise in quarters, separate at centre to expose cotton, essentially rolling the strip over on itself and wick your coil.

Actually just found this gem on Amazon too. A two-pack for only $2 more than the original with Best Seller and Prime status.
No I wish I got the $1 one rather than the Ulta one! The Ulta one was like a rubbery sponge! Just bruuuuutal!
I'll be honest when I say I have only been using the bb about a month. I bought the two pack for 20+ish? I have been using my normal brush cleaner on it and sort of rub it in, and squeeze it a few times, and so on. You can deff see makeup come out of it, but its still a bit stained. I plan on trying a few other ideas to give it a deeper cleanse. Since I bought the two pack, I haven't been too concerned with how long it lasts, since I have another on backup!
If you buy it on amazon you can get two for the price of one!
see?
I actually use a $3 shave oil (Shave Secret) that I buy at WalMart, and it's the only thing that keeps me razor bump free. I will never go back. There's a couple of really nice shave oils out there, but none so cheap that work so well. I use the executive blade option (6 blades) from dollarshaveclub.com, which mails me four blades each month for $9.
My throat was a big issue until I discovered the Beauty Blender and using powder to set my concealer/foundation properly. Once you get rid of the razor bumps it's a lot easier to manage, too.
you can also get it at walgreens online
or amazon (These have good reviews but I'm not 100% on their authenticity.)

Prices look like they've gone up since the summer. If there is a Sally's Beauty Supply near you, they sell it too. That's where I got my 500' box for $13.
Apply lightly in layers. Use a huge, thick, fluffy powder brush. Then, take a spritz bottle on the lightest mist setting you can get and spray it up into the air maybe twice times. Look up into the mist and let it sprinkle on your face. That should get rid of some of the residue.
Here is a decent brush set.
I used to do stage makeup.
Edit: If you can, put the powder into a child's tight (You can get them at the dollar store) and tie it off. Hold it over one another's face and tap it so it dusts the face with powder. Use the brush to dab it into the appropriate places, don't swipe. Then mist.
As someone mentioned before, the ecotool brush set. Or you can always go with E.L.F.
Not sure with the lipsticks, as I'm still a beginner (and kind of makeup challenged myself) and I right now opt for lip balm or the couple lip stains I have.
As for eye shadow, you can always go with something like this for your neutrals. Or something by NYX (which can be found in some Targets) like this
As for other things to start with, you might want to figure out how her skin care routine is, and toss in a few things that she could use in that regard. It'll make the makeup look better :)
Some other tools that she might not have, like an eyelash curler (E.L.F. has one for $3), NYX Milk is a good base/primer for eyeshadows as well.

I did this on my last flight only I used travel shampoo bottles which are bigger and I filled them myself at home for even cheaper drinking. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Humangear-GoToob-Travel-Bottle-Blue/dp/B002VS8H3G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409244369&sr=8-4&keywords=travel+size+shampoo+bottles
I also bought a coke at the airport (past security) and just asked the flight attendant for a cup of ice and can of pop. (additional can = additional drinks!) I mixed it myself in plain sight on the plane (though the attendant wasn't around at the time) and no one said anything to me.
Edit: Also... since it was a hit last time... plane bacon
If I'm worried about TSA and all that mess, I have Gotoobs and I fill 3 with chamois cream. Otherwise it just makes more sense to carry the big 8oz tube for unlimited creamin' up. I consider it an acceptable weight penalty. But having universal travel bottles like gotoobs/etc is just a useful travel tool regardless.
But here's the hard truth about chamois cream: You can replace it with hotel body lotion in a pinch and not notice the difference. Last time this happened I rode 60 miles with oatmeal scented hotel lotion in my shorts. I've done this plenty of times when I've left home without my Butt'rs.

http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Oil-Absorbing-Sheets-50-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I
I'm a huge fan of these blotting sheets. They're really great if you're wearing makeup, since they remove oil without removing/messing up makeup.
Thanks for the reply!
I will try out those blotting papers. Are these Clean & Clear ones good as well?
> Also this mineral powder is great at keeping the shine away.
I am a male. Pardon my ignorance, but do males use this mineral powder? If so, I will definitely try it out. When should I use the powder - morning, evening, or both?
I would suggest getting some Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets and blotting your face when you get to work.
Makeup brushes because I am long overdue for a new set.
I think it would be the best thing to hear that dialogue between two pilots. I would do it if I was one. One would need an epic Chewy mimic, and the other would say "...I don't know, fly casual". Almost makes me want to be a pilot, just for this.
Thanks! And I just realized when I read ecotool that I actually have ecotool brushes not RT. I have this set and this set
I'm guessing the one you use is this brush (says for bronzer) or [this brush] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9BUU73/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TqNuzbWE8SCZF). Do either look familiar?
Hmmm well I'm in the UK but I can recommend stuff I like! I know some of the eyeshadow palettes I like can be found in Walmart/Target sometimes (from what I've read on here).
I got ecotools brushes as my first set and I really like them. The quality is pretty solid and they are cheap - I know MAC brushes are supposed to be the best if you want to start off with the big stuff. I don't use make up that often so it's not a biggie...
One thing to note though is that has a concealer brush - not a foundation one. If you want a foundation one on it's own you can get it in MAC. Fingers would be faster to get the hang of tough to stick to that if you like :) I think brushes are supposed to give more consistency but it's honestly whatever works for you!
You can get loads of really nice multi-coloured palettes here on the cheap by E.L.F.. I got [this palette from Coastal Scents!)[http://www.coastalscents.com/makeup/eyes/eye-palettes/pl-001.html)
I liked it but you need a primer for some of the matte (not sparkly/shiny shades - just the flat colour).
For high quality expensive eyeshadow you could again go to MAC or Sephora :) I'm not sure what budget you are looking at - I'm very much a cheapskate for these things so I go for a balance between price, quality and quantity.
SPEAKING OF PRIMERS....
I have this primer that is also a liner for your eyeshadow! In all honesty the liner didn't last that long...the tip got dirty kinda quick and I only really used it for black. For pretty colours with different eyeshadows I used a nude eye pencil and then my liner brush from ecotools. I'm not a big liner user but if you want to I'd say to just buy a separate liner.
Some people REALLY like the Urban Decay's Primer Potions which are bottom left here. I think you need to go to the stores listed though to buy it.
Honestly the best advice I can give is check the sidebar and post some B&As here - or just your plain face asking for tips. People here are really nice and helpful - they helped me out a lot! :3 Also the sidebar as some good brands with a range in budget from drugstore to the super high-end expensive stuff!
Just start small and work up. The only thing I went big on was the eyeshadows where I bought that 88 palette...but I think that's fair enough for when you are just starting out. Get a primer for the cheaper eyeshadows though since they are not that pigmented (not much colour)!
I'm sorry those were all UK links but when I try to access US versions they switch me over to the UK version...I'm sure there will be an online store with it though :3 Amazon could be your best friend!!
Good luck and happy makeuping :3
In list 'Add ons'
thanks for the contest! :))))

I actually use a buffing brush by ecotools! I love thick brushes for contouring, and it's very reasonably priced. The one that I have came in a package of 4, and it actually came with a contour brush but I rarely use it. The buffing one just feels so damn gewd.
Product here --> http://www.amazon.com/ecoTOOLS-Make-Up-Kabuki-Brush-Set/dp/B005TKZS76/ref=sr_1_3?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1370487408&sr=1-3
I'm still doing research to find the best ones. Someone made a post about these- I haven't tried them out yet, but I will!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006GKHIHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_8r.Jtb0YY1JV4
Pretty sure it's http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006GKHIHQ These are very, very natural looking, in fact you might not even see much of a difference when you have them on, it just makes your lashes look longer. Hopefully these are the ones your coworker was wearing. I know they come in different styles, but you're probably going to have to look for it on amazon.
Depends on your personal taste, eyeshape, makeup style...
I like the Ardelle Wispies:

If you are looking for something even more natural these could work and are pretty cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Handmade-Natural-False-Eyelashes/dp/B006GKHIHQ/ref=pd_sim_bt_1
I also think brands like NYC and ELF sell $1-$3 lashes that look fairly natural.
Lol that's not even all my brushes! I was drying my face ones when I took the pic. And the pink brushes are on Amazon for like $15!
I'm guessing it is this set off Amazon. I've also heard good things about the ELF studio set.

Saw someone post these last week, and I had to buy them.
I need this
so i can mix my own ear drops and stuff to treat chronic ear infections and eczema of the ear.
If you want to make your own cuticle oil for cheaper, pure jojoba or sweet almond oil are both excellent. I bought one ounce of jojoba and decanted some into a Amber glass bottle and use it daily, and I haven't even gone through half of it since winter started. If you want to be extra fancy you can add essential oils to make your own scents, or add in extras like vitamin E.
You could get some plastic pipettes to transfer small amounts of the oil. I use these for depositing scented oils in my oil diffuser so that I don't accidentally use too much.
You could also consider transfering the oil to bottles with dropper tops.
Inventory:
This is my first shot at this, but it seems like a cool passive hobby that'll also augment my facefur. I already plan to expand by getting a couple other carrier oils to balance out the jojoba—particularly either some grape seed or avocado oil and perhaps some Vitamin E.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Suggestions?
* I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention there's a subreddit specifically for this (of course there is) at /r/beardoil. I'm gonna start posting in the hopes of livening it up a bit—if you're interested in picking this up as a hobby, come join me!
Same here. Just thought it was easier to post a link to EZ Sweetz rather than a recipe.
That said, what strength do you use? I've been using a 1:4 ratio (splenda to water) so 1 drop = 1 packet.
My recipe: 7.8 grams of sucralose to 30ml (1 fl.oz.) water, and I keep it in dropper bottles in the fridge since I didn't add any preservatives.
Hey man, I would love to help you quit smoking and didn't notice the first time I commented that you didn't have any experience with vaping. So I'm going to try to put together a list here of what you need to do to start vaping for very little money.

This is another option for you.

I love my Icare, but you will need to use high (24-36) mg ejuice with it, whereas with the ego you would need 12-24 mg/ml.

OPTIONAL: flavoring. If you want flavoring just ask in a reply I'll let you know what to get based on your tastes, but it's not necessary and you're trying to go cheap.
This is the recipe for making flavorless, 12 mg juice.
http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1240996/For+cheapos
You can make an account at that site and adapt that recipe to be higher or lower nicotine if you want.
I know this seems a lot more expensive than the Ryo cigarettes, but trust me, this makes like a year or two worth of liquid and the mods I suggested have really cheap coils. Please believe me, this is worth every penny of the investment, you will never regret it. If you need help with mixing your first batch of eliquid, go to r/diy_ejuice and look at the new mixer thread in the sidebar. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me, but comment it cause I don't get message notifications on my phone app.
I've also tried Burts Bees. I liked both but I think the honest Amish might've been cheaper.
As far as making your own oil, yes I just use dropper bottles like these . I just mix all the oils together in the bottle and shake, no need to let it sit. You do want to boil the bottles beforehand and let em dry to kill bacteria. Most essential oils have a spout thingy that makes it easy to count drops.
Edit: I also make my own beard shampoo.
Woohoo, congrats on the BIG MONEY! :)
I've had Velvet Teddy on my Wishlist for such a longgg time, it looks so pretty when I see it posted in FOTD's!
And a look posted by CosmicOlive not too long ago made me lust after the NYX Adorable Palette as well :)
I would also like to try this Ardell Brush Duo, as I recently bought some Dipbrow and am having some serious struggles with my current tools.
Thank you so much for hosting, and awesome job on the record shattering work! :)
This is the brush I use. However, I may be in the minority in what I like in an eyebrow brush. The bristles are not very stiff, but I love this as it's very easy to get short, feathery, natural strokes! If I'm going for a bolder brow, I use a small Sonia Kashuk angled liner brush from the anniversary set that was out over the summer - it looks pretty similar to a SK brush someone posted earlier!
I think Ardell makes one! It's an angled brush on one end and a spoolie on the other end. You can find it on Amazon!
I'll try to link it.
I am not sure how comparable it is to the ABH one.
EDIT: Ardell Duo Brow Brush

Im on my second dipbrow and this brow brush is my favorite.
I really enjoy this Ardell brush for use with my Dipbrow. It's stiff but soft and great for blending.
Hey!
This bottle has the best fine mist I’ve tried. It’s continuous and even. I’ve tried a few other types of spray bottles but this one is A+.
It’s pretty large, but I think you can shop around on Amazon and find the same thing in a smaller mL amount.
Pretty sure we use this bottle
Suavecito here as well. I also wanted to add that I have the most success with blow drying first as opposed to putting product in with varying levels of wet hair. I then use this to put a light even misting of water then shape it.
Also as others have said the cut is extremely important. Don't know how true this is but my barber has always said that a doing a quality undercut is pretty difficult and the details will make or break it. In other words to OP, invest in a good barber. Your cut shouldn't be 100% dependent on product, it should be able to be presentable with zero product as well.
Also OP I poked around your post history and seems like you're in California (as I am) so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a good barber that has experience with Asian hair and doing an undercut since like 90% of young Asians have the same cut.
I use this nail polish organizer rack for my collection (Photo 16), it works really well.
I’m sure it will come back sooner or later. Maybe in a slightly different style or color.
Meanwhile, if you search for ‘makeup brush set’ on Amazon, you will find tons of sets with near-5-star reviews for around $15, and some even under $10!
I have heard really good things about this set. - I own just the stubby kabuki from this set and it is excellent.
Here’s one with white bristles (also comes in purple!)
And there’s even a unicorn set .
So really - lots of choices out there. I would just read the reviews carefully. There’s even an app that can tell how how many of the Amazon reviews are fake. I forgot the name of the app, though.
Update: OK, it might be fakespot.com
I’d just heard about it online. I don’t know if this is the app I’d heard about.
(According to Fakespot, the first 2 sets have reliable reviews; the unicorn set does not).
I recommend these EmaxDesign brushes from Amazon. You get a variety of brushes for very little money. They are decent quality (in fact, I prefer some of them to their more expensive counterparts). That way you can get a sense of what kind of brush you like to use, and down the line you can upgrade just the type of brushes you actually use.
I've had decent success with Amazon brushes, and regularly reach for them. I've used and enjoyed these brushes, especially as a beginner set. They're very soft, no shedding, and pretty versatile.
I got a set of brushes awhile back that I really like from Amazon. I do all my application/blending with brushes too. I haven't had much luck with the sponge things.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FZKB51S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473594766&sr=8-1&keywords=emaxdesign+12+piece+makeup+brush+set&pi=SX200_QL40
I bought this one. Decent quality for the low price. The two kabuki brushes are my favorites for achieving an airbrushed finish (I prefer it to a BB, but that's just me).
I just received my DragonPad 11 piece brush set order today for $11.94 (free shipping with prime). They are sooo soft, on par with more expensive brushes like MAC. The brush denseness is good for the price. The kabuki feels on a little thin, but the rest is adequate. I tried them out on my hand and they worked well! Applied eyeshadows and blended easily. I was also rough with them and no shedding so far. They did arrive with a smell, but I can only smell it when I sniff up close. I think this brush set is well worth the price!
I also bought my jars from Amazon, but I know places like TKB trading also sells these jars in bulk.

This style are excellent and reusable and rugged. I prefer clear over frosted. You can get them for under $2.50, and they'll last years (they go from 30ml to 100ml, so you can also put multiple bottles in one)
Ofc:) This is the one I got - for some reason, one bottle was ~$11 while six were ~$18.
I just bought this set of brushes and I love them. You definitely don’t need to break the bank with brushes, especially when starting out with eye makeup.
Just search for "makeup brush sets" on Amazon, and you will have tons of choices. For example this one.. It has a bunch of face brushes plus more, and I've really loved the brushes I got off Amazon. It doesn't have to cost $65 for a brush set.
I love this set here
I use it daily and they clean up wonderfully!
Like 4 years ago, my sister got me a set of cheapy Amazon Brushes and it turns out they’re amazing. the handle on one of them has fallen off, but otherwise they’re in great shape.
They’re dense and haven’t lost any bristles and way softer than expected for cheap brushes from amazon.
I’m fairly certain it was these ones BS Mall Brushes
This is the one I got
I use these and have no issues:

This is the one that a lot of people are referring to. If anything, don't get these because someone on reddit had confirmed that it is not organic.
Nordstroms
Amazon, but sold by separate retailer.
If you're into trying some really amazing cotton, check out the Mavaton's Select from Cottonman -- http://www.cottonman.com/ms.html
For Rayon, http://www.beautyclicks.com/graham-professional-44043-cellucotton-beauty-coil.html is the best price. If you're in the US you might be able to find it locally at Sally's.
For Japanese cotton, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00020E1P8
For these and other options, check out http://www.reddit.com/r/vapeheads/wiki/guide-new-rba-shopping-list and also the wicking guide -- http://www.reddit.com/r/vapeheads/wiki/guide-wicking
After you have read up on this stuff, watched coil build videos, learned ohm's law, etc. I have some gear reccomendations.
Sigelei 100W+ box. The plus version is what I have. Dual batteries in series (that means it has an input voltage of 8.4V) and output from 10-100W. Floating pin (meaning you don't have to adjust it for different sized atomizers). It also comes with a silicon sleeve if you are butterfingers like me. That should run about $100 from most retailers, give or take $10. If you're handy and have some time, you can build your own box mod using a few different chips (DNA30/40, Yihi SX350, etc).
That brings up my second piece, batteries. DO NOT skimp on batteries, you need good ones. You need 2 18650 batteries that you keep together and only use in this mod. Switch the positions of them each charge. I recommend Samsung 25r batteries. High continuous amp limit (if you exceed it then the battery might fail), but they aren't really pushed up that far on a Sig 100W. That is more important with a mechanical mod. You also need a charger, the Nitecore D2 is a great one.
Then for an RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer) I suggest a CLT V2+ like others here. It won't break the bank (about $35, or $12 clone from fasttech.com). Easy deck to build on because of the block centerpost. Good airflow, and you can restrict it as much as you need. You can also get an RTA (rebuildable tank atomizer) like a kayfun, fogger, or orchid. I have had bad experiences with these, mostly because I fucked up when building. That pretty much ends up with the full tank of juice emptying in your lap. But it can be done. I prefer RDAs for simplicity and the ability to change flavors if I don't want a whole tank.
You also need wick and wire. A-1 Kanthal is what most of us use. Its cheap, and 28 or 26 gauge is a good starting size. Higher gauge means smaller wire and higher resistance. For wick, I use rayon and japanese cotton. Any of these will last you a long time.
You don't need a resistance tester if you get a sig 100W, but it will be more precise than the box. You also need something to cut cotton (it is way harder than it sounds) like tiny scissors and something to snip wires like small flush cutters. Tweezers to squeeze those coils and make them look nice and purty are also nice to have. A small screwdriver set is perfect for wrapping coils. "Coil Jigs" are overpriced and necessary.
I would buy all the stuff I linked through Amazon, its cheaper there than most vape websites. For batteries and chargers, use Illumn or Lightning Vapes. Wire, resistance testers, and tweezers are also fairly priced at Lightning Vapes. There are a few places to get the Sigelei 100W+ and the CLT v2+. Fasttech is amazing and I love China. This site carries cheap clones of other devices. Good place to get RDAs if you are willing to wait for shipping and read the reviews/discussions. There are so many things I would never purchase because they are out of my budget that Fasttech made available.
Agreed. I wanted to order everything from one place so I just got the bacon cotton. I'll look into something else. is this what you use? Might have to pick it up
I do a lot of my shopping online but I've seen it before in store at sephora too, I just did a search on sephora.com for beauty blender and it showed up for $39.95 for 2 blenders and the cleanser! Apparently amazon has it for sale 2 for 20 bucks (no cleanser though), and free shipping if you're a prime member: http://www.amazon.com/Beautyblender-Ultimate-MakeUp-Applicator-sponges/dp/B000I5HJ2Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405482062&sr=8-1&keywords=beauty+blender
Try this for applying liquid foundation. You will not regret it.
I will say on the cleanser (because I am sort of cheap) I use the Dr.Bronner's Magic Castile soap in lavender (I bought the bar form) but they have liquid from Target and it cleans my BB perfectly. Also Amazon has a two pack for [24.99] (http://www.amazon.com/Beautyblender-Ultimate-MakeUp-Applicator-sponges/dp/B000I5HJ2Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417464731&sr=8-1&keywords=beauty+blender)
Edit words... also my reasoning on the Castile soap is the fact it is way more than you will get with the name brand beauty blender version.
Cheer up buttercup!
I know it's not ideal, and I hope you are feeling better, but at least it's still exciting news!!
Here are a few things I thought you would like:
Mom/Dad/Baby picture frame
New Mom mixology book
the BEST beauty makeup blender
Yoga workout cards
The beauty blender has already been claimed, I'm sorry. You can actually get 2 beauty blenders for around $20 on Amazon
You can buy two for the price of one on amazon
And they are the original ones.
Do you have prime? $22 for a duo pack. I think it's legit, just got mine and daammnn is it soft! Im in love!

I know I have the perfect boyfriend because he lets me clean his pores with this when I run out of pimples to pop on my own face.
Also over the last two months I've convinced my roommate and her boyfriend to let me clean their pores as well... it's addicting and strangely satisfying.
tbh, i've considered this but just can't bring myself to do it. the comedone extractors are probably better.
Because I want one as well, Here you are.
Do any of you guys get like burst/broken blood vessels using that loop extractor thing? like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B7GJ2E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im a bit freaked out. I used it on my cheeks and I got red streaks where I used it.

Do not buy the reinforced Rayon. DONT.

I mean for real, the reinforced is like the 3rd result. I really hope you're not using it.
Just replace the cotton. you can either get japanese cotton or you can get Cellucotton. It's what i use now. You get great flavor and there is no break in. here is a link. https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-Feet/dp/B001BKY3B0
This is the one I have. 100% cotton.

LOL. no but seriously, I'm ready to try rayon after this post.
I use unbleached organic Japanese cotton and it's great, and tried bleached cotton balls just to try it (no major complaints).
If there's a good and bad kind of rayon I NEED TO KNOW plz help thx. <3
edit: nevermind, you were being totally serious LOL! Not the one that says cotton. I was sure you were joking, nope. The rest of the thread answered everything else.
I went with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Cellucotton-Beauty-Rayon-Fibers/dp/B00PBGJT5A
NOT THIS ONE: https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-Feet/dp/B001BKY3B0
https://www.amazon.co.uk/SANEK-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-BT42251/dp/B001BKY3B0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503436713&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Cellucotton
£22.99 for 40 feets worth. Jesus Christ I didn't realise rayon was that expensive.
Ah sorry! I don't know if there are any other variants, but the most popular form of rayon is called "Cellucotton". You can get it from a Sally Beauty near you, or check any local beauty supply outlet. If you can't find it near you there's always Amazon
Get some rayon, it is called cellucotton... this https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-Feet/dp/B001BKY3B0 stuff. I use it and it works damn good. Prob find it in wallmart or a "beauty" store. I also have some Koh Gen Do cotton that is pretty cheap off of Amazon. Hell just hit up a vape shop and try to get a free sample of whatever latest and greatest wicking they are trying to push.
I live in the UK and just found 40 feet of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/SANEK-Cellucotton-Beauty-Coil-BT42251/dp/B001BKY3B0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479170904&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=cellucotton
Is it the same stuff it seems much more expensive but looks the same, probably because of import costs I guess. Still cheaper than any of this glorified stuff though so I could definitely pick some up after payday if it'll do the trick!
Also on a side note how many times do I rewick a "disposable" coil, or do I use it until it breaks?
Thanks for the contest c:
Thanks for the response! For brushes do you think just ordering something like this or this would be good? I have no idea what half of them are for but ~$1 per brush (+case on the one) seems like a pretty good deal. Like it looks like the case one has one of those little angle brushes which I think I've seen used with eyeliner goop stuff I think but the other doesn't. And for eye shadow do you think just getting a giant thing like this would be smart? It seems cheap and there are so many colors so I'd have no problem figuring out which ones I like hahaha.
Heya, welcome to RAoM!! I hope you enjoy it here :D Also, happy birthday c:
I'd definitely recommend picking up the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk -- it's a great base that really makes colors pop! It's also really creamy, so it blends out easily.
I also love my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. I have Rendezvous (a very orange-y coral) and Lovestick (bright pink), which are perfect for summer. I also have Romantic (pretty true red) and my sister has Crush (a darker plum), which are great for fall. These are really easy to wear because they feel just like lip balms, but they're also very nicely pigmented.
If you want to play around with a lot more colors, I would say go for the Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette -- I use at least one color from this every time I do my make-up! It's not too pricey, but it gives you a lot to experiment with :)
I think it would be a pretty great time to pick up some brushes. Since you're just starting out, I'd probably go with ELF brushes because they're super cheap. Here are a few of my favorites (although I'd recommend looking in store at Target, because the white brushes are only $1 and the black ones are usually only $3; they might be cheaper on the ELF website too):
Eyeshadow Brush -- great for packing on the color
Blending Brush -- because everyone could use a nice blender!
Contouring Brush -- really great for applying color in the crease
12 Piece Set -- I don't actually own all these brushes, but it looks like a great set to start with, especially for only $12!
As for something I'd like...well, I'm currently obsessing over this lipstick in Black Cherry, because it is the PERFECT color for fall, and I don't have any other dark lip colors :3
Oh yea, and Summer Fun !
This was fun :)

I got these. But honestly, one of my brushes fell off the stick. i'm going to fix it with a little bit of glue, the bristles are fine, but it's a $10 set ya know you get what you pay for.
When I rebuy, I'm going to get this set which is better quality from what I've read.
These ones
I’ve been traveling with these GoToob bottles all over the world, and on a regular basis in Canada. Doesn’t say what’s in the bottle, or a brand name, though does clearly state the volume. Nobody has ever said anything to me. Did you have your bottles in a clear plastic bag?
https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/form/questions-comments-complaints
Try getting a hold of them there and see what they have to say about your event. I recently did and they responded to me with a day or two.
Hot dogs or Kielbasa - dehydrate by cooking slow at low temp in the oven.
Cheese - cut into small pieces
Squeeze tubes filled with mashed liverwurst (add little bit of water at a time until it is smooth enough to go through the hole), whipped cream cheese or peanut butter.
Happy Howies is another good brand for a meat roll. They make beef, lamb, and I think turkey. Get yourself a vidalia onion chopper and use it to cut them into small pieces about the size of a pea.
Good for you and your pup! I'm so glad to hear that's working. We're struggling with much the same issue (with our adult dog) and we've used similar tactics with some good successes.
If you find the deli meat ever loses its charm, don't be afraid to switch it up with new, stinkier treats. We hit a plateau with our dog that seems to be scalable with some new, even smellier treats (just wrote about that here actually!).
You can also use squeeze tubes with cream cheese in them, if yours--like ours--doesn't always have the gentlest mouth when stressed. We use these and it helps us give a good steady supply of treats when passing stimuli that take a minute to go away (e.g. clanging trucks going down the street), while keeping our hands relatively clean.
It is doggy crack, on par with meat baby food in my experience.
Use a go-toob for anything squeezable.

Get some of these bitches.
Not a doc, but oil blotter papers work great. You can get them at Target or probably most pharmacy stores. Mary Kay sells them, too. And, of course, Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Absorbing-Sheets-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I?th=1
Even when I'm not that oily, like an hour after washing my face..ha! These help a ton with the shine. They're fairly discreet, except for the blue color, for touching up on the go.
http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Oil-Absorbing-Sheets-50-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I
They're really easy to find in Walgreens, target etc too. About $6.
I'm obsessed with these oil absorbing sheets: www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Absorbing-Sheets-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I
That sucks, because my skin is oily to begin with. I have some of these that I use sometimes and they turn a darker color where oil has been absorbed. I usually only need to use one or two, and I just used 5 to clean my face and neck lol. Guess I'll start carrying a pack around
I have the same problem, I use these:
https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Clear-Absorbing-Sheets-Count/dp/B003V57Q5I/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Edit: I also find that using Stridex twice a day (morning and night) has helped a LOT.
this one is the first result if I put blotting sheets in amazon...I don't think brand matters so much though.

Thanks for the contest and happy cake day!!
Should be all good on the SPF. I'm a sunscreen nerd & do 50 even with BB cream because I don't use much BB.
I use the ecotools eyeshadow brush from this kit. You can find this brand at drugstores & Ulta. The elf one looks good but it comes down to your preference on softness/stiffness & how thin you want it.
Ecotools has kind of a beginner set that I got for my first set, and I love it! This is the set that I got, and it's a good little starting kit. I built on it with some Sephora brushes for blending, highlighter, and blush, but this kit started me off on a good foot!
That's a good one, so is this one. The one I linked has a blush brush. They're both good quality sets.
I got the basic 6 brush set last year to use as my first proper make up brushes.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecotools-Bamboo-Piece-Brush-Set/dp/B003ZX32ZO
Even though I now have a silly amount of brushes I still use these almost every day, really good quality for the price. I use the angked liner brush for my eyebrows and it's perfect. The only one I don't use is the foam sponge one cause I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it ha.
Thanks for doing this! I love it. :D
My random user is /u/sweetbeauty
I had TONS of things in common with my match. She likes lisa frank and I like lisa frank. She likes adorable necklaces and so do it! She likes kinder hippos and I love those damn things!! They are on one of my wishlists. She wants this and I bought that exact same set on 01/30 of this year. She likes Rachael Ray and that is my favorite cookware set. I have her plates in green! She likes colorful knives, guess who bought that set back in March? She has contacts and I have contacts! I just added that to my wish list too. She likes makeup and I love makeup. Those brushes are amazing, btw. She also had quite a few makeup items that I liked, but I wasn't about to link all those. Ditto with books!! My random person is pretty awesome.

Im sorry you're going through this- I understand if it were an injury that required seeing a dr before getting a pain med refill, but a chronic condition? Come on!
I'm on a bit of a brush kick lately, and I'm currently wishing for the ecoTOOLS Kabuki Brush Set.
Elphaba supports this contest!
Alternatively, earth-friendly makeup brushes!
Cute contest!
I use the EcoTools brush set here: https://www.amazon.com/ecoTOOLS-Make-Up-Kabuki-Brush-Set/dp/B005TKZS76/ref=pd_sim_194_11?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=PTQ14MVFMXC2VS52ZFHQ
I've used both the Contour and Buff brush and they both work great. Beautifully soft.
Everyday Minerals. I swear by them. Been using it for years and my makeup looks so sheer and natural, yet I can cover any flaws I need to. It just melts into my skin. And they have free samples (well you pay shipping, a couple bucks) and can try a bunch of foundation shades before committing to a full size. I don't know what your skintone is, but their concealers are also fantastic if you have the right brush...
Which leads me to coastal scents. If they still have a brush called the 'mini detail' buy that right now. As someone who has dealt with cystic acne and regular acne..its the best thing ever. A teeny tiny brush that will dab on foundation/concealer (liquid, cream, mineral, whatever you end up using) with precision on top of blemishes. Its amazing and works better than anything else. You need to be able to blend and dab product right on that spot without getting it everywhere around it. As for blush and thicker brushes...I still recommend EcoTools. Try to find one of their travel sets with the half size brushes, they have the best blush brushes that work with mineral makeup, blush, bronzer, highlighter...I bought a couple packs and use that mini blush brush for everything. its fluffy and not stiff and seems to pick up the exact right amount of powder on every product.
This is the set I have

The mini kabuki set is indeed special--it's "limited edition" but has been sold for forever so idk what's up with the LE designation. Anyway. Can't get it in stores, at least in my experience, amazon has it for 10 USD
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005TKZS76?pc_redir=1414271858&amp;robot_redir=1
Even the designs are supposedly special.
The handles are aluminum and have a certain weight to them, which takes away the "cheap" feeling, and all brushes are sufficiently dense and fluffy (especially the concealer brush, which is the magic finger I referred to). If you choose to get them, I hope you'll like them :)

I found them on amazon. Here's a link.
I bought a 6 pack of amber colored, glass bottles off amazon. Only 6 bucks. These come with eye droppers, but they have no markings on them. I bought one seperately, also from amazon.
To mix them, I buy vodka from a liquor store. You can use water, but do NOT use tap water as it has chlorine that will immediately destroy LSD. I've also read that water degrades LSD more over time than alcohol, hence my choice. I use the dropper to measure out how much solution I want to use to put into the container, along with however many tabs I want to put in with it. Let it sit for a few days (swirl contents now and again) and voila.

I use this Ardell brush with an angled brush end and a spoolie and it works great!
I have two angled brushes: The one I have amongst my other eye brushes is from Sephora that I got in this set though of course you can buy it individually. It's a good angle brush but I dedicate it solely to eyeshadow. The one I actually use for my brows is the Ardell Duo Brow Brush. The angle brush on this one probably isn't as firm as my Sephora brush but for the price it gets the job done. I bought it because of the price, particularly because it has the spoolie end and I was too cheap to buy the Anastasia version of this brush for $18 lol
drama llama!
These if you have Prime, this if you don't.
Thanks for the contest!
I've been using this from Amazon for ages, I really need to upgrade to that, it's not stiff or big enough. I need to get better at grooming my brows on time, I swear they turn into a jungle as soon as I get them threaded.
I think Ebony should work fine! I use the Ardell Duo Brow Brush to apply.
The steps are pretty easy but it takes practise to get the shape you like!
I spoolie my brows first to get them to go in one direction, then I draw the outline (shape) of the brow that I want.
I'll fill in from the back of the brow inwards so the inner of my brow won't be as harsh as the outer :-) Something like this! Haha I'm still far from an expert for my brows - but currently I like how it looks.
Congrats!! I might be too late, but I'd love this if I'm not! :) you're so sweet to share

The white is just pee and it usually dries into a solid powder. I agree that your temperature is too high. You also need to be careful about too much humidity because this can lead to a respiratory infection and/or bacterial infections on the skin. Your current cage should retain a lot of humidity and if you add the Eco Earth that will also hold humidity. Because this cage has little ventilation you should uncover the top screen. The daytime humidity should be between 40-60% and 80-100% for a few hours after you mist, which should allow your cage to dry out. I use this spray bottle because it is more of a mister and my crestie doesn't seem bothered by it. It's also super easy to use. Also, I can't see if your crestie is sleeping upside down or not, but if so you might want to consider breaking the habit or be okay with the potential of floppy tail syndrome.
Yeah I mix by weight, I can usually knock a few out really quickly if I already have all the flavors set aside. I just need something better than a big box to store all the flavors in. Are you talking about something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Level-Premium-Quality-Organizer-Collection/dp/B00FPOOJL2
I'm not sure about over there, but you can get some clear acrylic dividers from the cheap shops here. Pretty sure you can get them from Amazon. Like this but it's one single flat plate. I hope that makes sense lol.
Oops I was wrong, mine aren't EcoTools, although I do have a couple of those and I like them.
Here is the set I got. They work really well, don't shed, and you get a lot of brushes for the money.

I bought this set from Amazon (from other sellers, it's under $10 but shipping takes longer). They're really soft and pretty good quality!
I bought this brush set from Amazon after hearing the youtuber Thataylaa talk about it, and I like it. I have also slowly added individual Elf and Real Techniques which you can find at Rexall among other places when I feel like there's a gap in my collection. I love my Elf and Real Techniques brushes, so if you want to start out by making a little list of what types of products you need brushes to apply, then going to somewhere like Rexall and looking through their sets and individual brushes to fill your needs, that would be a good way to start.
I use the fourth brush from the left in this set for my all-over base shadow and light brown crease because it's nice and fluffy. I use this brush for the darker brown in my crease because it's denser and more precise. If it feels too harsh, I'll go back with a light brown color on my fluffy brush to blend it out. And this has been my go to for packing eyeshadow on the lid. It's small enough for my lid and does a great job.
Yes! I have these amazon brushes and they are amazing. Way softer than my sonia kashuk ones and the blush brush is about as soft as my ecotools one if not softer. I seriously recommend them.
I have these jars for samples. They're a pretty good size for something like foundation.
Have a stoned grinding session every few days. You can store a couple ovens worth in lip balm containers. Edit: item description has the words "high" and "pot." We know what they're for.
On Amazon, the 5 gram jars are usually slightly cheaper than the 3 gram jars.

I also bought the bead container ones, but those jars wear really big. I don't use them for eyeshadow.
Yeah, I was on a box pass where somebody clearly confused the Muhle and Van der Hagen logos. (Hey, they've both got windmills!) Then again, it was interesting to see in person just how poorly the VdH badger brush is made.
What about just shipping the stuff in full-size jars and letting people take samples themselves? The main problem then is portion control. Including 5g containers would tend to limit people to that amount, but they get bulky pretty quick.
Maybe you could start with, say, 50 jars and ask people to drop a buck in the box for each 5 jars they take? Then when the jars run out the next person can take the money and order another 50 from Amazon.
I've had a great experience with these jars!
This is what my shelfie looks like:

Edit: I changed all the tape to pastel rainbow colors!!

The last two on the right are empty at the moment until my winter routine starts. I'm planning on putting Hl premium and tcfs sleeping pack in them. My vitamin c is also in the fridge.
For the specific bottles:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C3UMR46/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_RiAUzbZ3YS01K
I've used this for about a year and a half and they! seem to be doing well. One caveat is that I can't put my cleansing oil in them because they'll leak through the seams. Other than that though I've used both creams and liquids in them and they work great! No spills and easy to travel with!!
I got the pump bottles and sunscreen on Amazon. https://amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C3UMR46
And brushes I honestly just bought a cheap set on Amazon and they seem fine haha, but I have some Sephora brand brushes that I like a lot better. This is basically the brush set I bought. Not very nice but it does the job. The one I got has more eyeshadow brushes though.
Lots of battlestations have the laser cut MDF paint racks that look like stadium tiers. A quick google turned up this nail polish rack on walmart's site. I've got a desk facing the wall so I use one like these but made from aluminium scraps from where I was working.
edit: Before I got the racks I used to keep all my paints in one of these drawer stacks. It worked great while I only used GW paints.
Thanks! They work really well. If anyone is interested I got these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0JT8J8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lom3CbQ12ESTE
My partner and I finally bit the bullet and got enough wall mount racks for our (non-air) GW paints. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0JT8J8/)
We've got them organized into:
We went back and forth on mixing the bases and drys in with the layers and edges so all the colors would be next to each other. Giving a better idea of the gradients and hues between types. In the end we separated them out by type.
Thanks. I didn't feel like making it so I just bought it online. The shelf is normally used for nail polish bottles and can hold 102 bottles. Here is a link to the exact shelf: 102 Bottle Acrylic Shelf

This is the one I ordered. Looks pretty similar to this one. I figure I’ll rig a curtain or something over it to keep too much light from discoloring my polish.

It looks like it is under review for packaging reasons, but you can find similar ones up there, and it is awesome and affordable
do you mean something like this?
