I used to wear makeup almost everyday. I would only wear American Beauty/Fit Me concealer, a finishing powder, bronzer, and mascara. My skin was fine. Never any irritation, no breakouts, no itchiness or red marks, etc. I washed my face every morning and night and because my skin is so dry, I use Vaseline as a moisturizer. I used to get so many compliments on my skin!

Why is it that all of a sudden (as in the last few months), my skin harshly reacts to these good concealers? One day after applying my concealer, the skin under my eye started itching REALLY bad. When I came home from school, there were huge elevated reddish purple welts that had broken out under both of my eyes. Every time I apply concealer this happens. So I stopped wearing skin makeup. This woman at ULTA recommended I wear this under eye moisturizer by DermaDoctor before applying my concealer because it would prevent my skin from breaking out. It has worked for the most part but I still get a bit of an allergic reaction.

It sucks because I LOVE makeup and I would not like to quit wearing it. My last prom is coming up and I'm not going to take pictures bare face. I have bags under my eyes and a bit of skin discoloration. How unsightly would that be at prom...

So are there any actually good hypoallergenic makeup lines? I've tried Almay but they don't really have makeup for girls of my complexion (im black). Anything will do - drugstore/high end products. Thanks

I'm 17, I am about 5'6", and I weigh 125 lbs (which I presume to be average). I would like to tone my body within the next few months. It is mostly fat - I do not do sports, nor do I exercise, but I would like to start. I've been on a vegetarian diet for a month. I love vegetables and fruits, but I don't necessarily watch everything that I intake considering I eat fast food at least once a week.

Overall, I am happy with my body as it appears to be. However, I am very..."squishy". I have no muscle definition whatsoever. I am constantly told I am very "tiny", but truth is, I am completely fat and bone. My arms jiggle and my thighs jiggle. My cup size even went from a 32B to a 34C over the course of a few months.

Growing up, I was very active and healthy. I don't know what happened. Any of the BEST tips, websites, routines - anything to get me started - would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hey y'all, so I've had my iPhone 5S for a year now. No real damage to it. I dropped it in water once, but it was okay after a couple of days. Other than the small, almost unnoticeable water stain in it, it's in decent condition.

About a month ago, I decided I was going to download iOS 8. I reset EVERYTHING on my phone and deleted all of the apps that I didn't need - and could download again once the update was installed - as well as delete every picture, text message, note, etc. just to make space for this update. Eventually, my phone decided it wanted to go into recovery mode every single time I turned it off. That didn't bother me though because it would turn on just fine after the recovery mode logo (the connect to itunes screen) would disappear.

I downloaded iOS 8, and toward the end of the download, my phone shuts off completely. The recovery mode screen pops up as usual telling me to connect to iTunes, but my phone never turns on after that. Once I finally connect it to iTunes, a pop up tells me that I need to restore my phone, so I click the "restore iPhone" button, but that still didn't work as the recovery screen stayed on my phone.

I eventually gave up, so I haven't used my phone since around the end of October.

Today, I tried turning it on, and for some reason IT WORKED and I set my phone up as a new device. And I thought I backed up all of my data from iCloud, but unfortunately I can't view any texts/calls sent to me in the last month. What's going on?

what's the scariest indie/flash horror game you've ever played? scary enough to traumatize two 16 year old girls on a friday night. we're thinking either the rake or one late night...but idk

NO SLENDER. overplayed

I'm 16 and I have a part time job at a fast food restaurant. school started about 2 months ago, and they had always scheduled me until 8 or 9 on school nights (like I requested), but my mom told me if I didnt change it to 7, id have to quit since my grades are kind of slipping. so i sent in the request. last saturday night we got our weekly schedules via email and the manager wrote a note with the schedule attachment. he was saying something like "this is a job and as he will take in schedule requests ,the employees still have a real and required job" and that he "understands most of the employees are in high school but they still have to fulfill their roles as a loyal employee". I feel like it was a bit directed toward me..I wasn't even scheduled to work last week.

i just got this weeks schedule. i wasn't scheduled to work AGAIN at all. I'm really nervous, scared ,and sad because this is my first job and I really like it.. please help..thank you

i work at a fast food restaurant part time here in georgia and they scheduled me for 10 hours tomorrow, plus im covering someones shift for 2 hours. my dad told me that its illegal to work this many hours...is this true? by the way, we get breaks after 5.5 hours.

and i honestly don't have any idea where to start. i'm a junior and i attend the top high school in my state. i want to get into a nice school, but my cumulative gpa (freshman and sophomore year) was a 2.95 and i know that's a major setback. i would love to be a nurse or family physician, but i'm losing so much confidence. i really don't even know what i should be looking for anymore. if my gpa doesn't increase by the end of junior year, what possible colleges could i get into? i'm trying to aim for at least a 3.3 this year (plus, the hope scholarship only requires a 3.0). i think i just need someone to motivate me because this is really stressing me out. i will cry if i get an answer saying "you could always fall back on attending a community college". i seriously will scream.

first off lets talk about coral..like. does it not freak you out? like are they plants or animals? sharks are scary too. if you have a paper cut a shark will be able to find you from like a mile away. oceans are big and only like 4% has been discovered. thats scary. i don't know what if you found an old abandoned ship at the bottom of the ocean or what if you discovered like a whole bunch of old statues from 400 bc. or what if you're completely alone and you fall off of a life boat and begin to drown and the farther down you go the pressure begins to increase and it starts getting dark and you can't see what is around you and you can't breathe and.... DOES THAT NOT SCARE YOU?

10 years?

how about 100 years?

what about 1,000 years?

i hate scrolling down tumblr and seeing a photo of someones bloody wrists scratched up. what makes it worse is when there are thousands and thousands of notes. it's just really depressing. does it make you feel better when you cut? how and why did you start?

by the way, i didn't know what category to put this question under so i just put it in society and culture.

all i can remember was i was with my friend and this mysterious magician. they did a trick together which was no big deal and then she walked away so it was now just me and the magician. he then told me he was going to perform a magic trick on me. he was laying behind me like uncomfortably pressed up on my back and he started cutting into the back of my head and like drilling my skull. i tried getting away but i couldn't and then i just woke up. when i woke up from my dream, i still felt his body pressed up against my back and the back of my head felt numb. this lasted for a couple of seconds.

that's pretty much all that happened. any interpretations? thanks :)

my gpa was really low freshman year. it was a 2.8. sophomore year i had a 3.0. now it's junior year and i only have one AP class and one honors class. but the AP class isn't even a core class - it's art. as for the honors class, i didn't even attempt to move on to AP Lang because everyone who has ever had that class has told me how difficult it was and i would rather get a decent grade in an honors class than a low grade in an AP class. will that effect my gpa? not only this, but i also have a part time job. i work at a fast food restaurant year round and i'm really hoping it won't get in the way of school. can someone please give me any advice because i'm kinda freaking out. i want to get into a nice college or university but i don't know if it's too late to make up for my mistakes freshman and sophomore year. thanks so much for the help!

I asked this question earlier and got no response so I'm really hoping someone will answer me!

I'm 16 and i work at chick fil a and I plan on working here for the next two years before I graduate from high school. today was my 4th day working here and I still ask my coworkers for help for even the smallest things and I can tell some of them get annoyed. is it normal that I still need help at work even though it's my 4th day? and also, they're all older than me and way more experienced in the fast food industry than I am. they're all 18-25 and are in college. they all talk to each other, and I sometimes feel out of place and lonely because their relationships are so strong and I don't really know anybody. I can tell I really annoy this one girl when I ask for help. I hate being a bother to them but I don't want to leave the customer upset. have you experienced this before and how did you cope? thanks

I've never had a job in my entire life and now I'm working at chick fil a (I'm only 16). I was early yesterday, which was my first day, and today I'm late. I thought my shift was at 4-7 but it's actually at 11-2. the manager had to call me around 11:30 and asked me if I could make it around 12, and I said I could. as I was quickly getting ready he called again and told me to work 4-7 and of course he sounded annoyed. I feel so bad because I read 4-7 in my email. I'm freaking out, will they fire me? thanks for the help

i made the decision to become a vegetarian a couple days ago for ethical and health reasons. its actually quite nice. :) but anyway, the other day, i told my dad and my sister im trying out vegetarianism after i had turned down meat my dad cooked (they were surprised seeing as i'm known as the "meat lover" in my family) and they asked me why im making this decision and i told them that i thought it was inhumane to raise animals only to send them to a slaughterhouse to be killed and then eaten. my sister got upset and said "it isn't inhumane because it's natural and we're humans". idk it just kinda frustrated me when she said that so i didn't say anything. i just don't understand...why does it make some meat eaters so upset?

so i'm working at chick fil a sometime this week and it is my first job. i'm not as nervous as i am confused. i have a few questions..is it hard to keep up with a customer with a large family order? how long did it take you to start adjusting to this job? did you make friends easily? i really don't want to screw this up, so i would really appreciate some good advice. thank you

I'm 16 and I have never had a boyfriend. I haven't even had my first kiss yet. I see how happy all of my friends are with their boyfriends and when we hang out I'm usually a third wheel. I feel empty, stressed, tired, and lonely all the time anyway, and the fact that i can't even get a boyfriend (or anyone to like me for that matter) just makes me feel way worse. I'm starting to believe i'm not good enough. its gotten to the point where i feel like if a boy really did ask me out i would think he is just making fun of me. i will probably get cancer for saying this but to tell the truth i just want someone that will hold me and tell me all of his problems while we listen to sad songs and eat frozen yogurt. that is all.

i'm considering converting to a pescetarian diet (possibly vegetarian sometime down the road), so i have a few questions. was it hard to turn down meats at first, and did it become easier to say no? has reducing meat from your diet changed you physically (like are you healthier and happier)? did making the change force you to eat healthier? im a meat lover, so i know this will be hard for me, but i have my reasons why i want to convert. ;)

thanks

i don't have a real reason to be sad, i just am. my confidence is so low, i hate taking pictures of myself because i know i'm not as pretty as all of the girls at my school and i hate talking about myself and my problems because i feel like people don't care about whats going on in my life. I've never had a boyfriend and guys don't even like me. my sisters and mom tell me i'm mean all of the time, and i really don't mean to be, but i know i am. im losing my best friend to drugs and alcohol and my gpa is only a 3.0. i don't know what i want to do with my life and i'm just so confused all the time. even though i have decentish friends, i feel so lonely and i never want to hang out with them or spend time with my family anymore. literally all i do all day is stay on my laptop. but i want to be happy again like how i was in elementary school. btw, i'm 16. so how i do i become happier and i how do i get a higher self esteem? thank you so much
