Wow! Thanks for sharing... and I love your scientific approach!! I've got an Urban Decay Primer Potion from a palette, but even with that I crease!!! I do, however, have a habit of moisturizing my eyelids... so I don't think it's a matter of hydrating it. Then again, I use my face lotion for that pu...

Agree with all the others - I can't wait!! Ah, too bad I have to place my order like now because I'm shipping it to a friend who is visiting me in Paris next week... it'll have to get to her in time!

Nomi_Happy--If I were living in France for a semester I think I'd have a hard time giving up all those pastries too! Unfortunately, I can't do gluten, so I had to bid all those things an abrupt farewell. It was incredibly hard, and I can't go back and have a binge night on occasion, but I think of ...

You do have the right idea: making it happen with a good transition. Trust me, I miss all that good stuff too sometimes, but the curious new items I get to 'cook' kind of make up for it. I do allow myself to pig out -so to speak- once a month, on my past favorites, but you know what, they don't eve...

Thank you everyone for all the information and support... I really needed that after a down day like today. First off, I realized I couldn't fit into my skinny jeans after the wash. I went to a dinner social get-together and ended up feeling left out, bored witless, and generally irritated. A part o...

Thanks again, egerandi! I don't really know if I could do raw... I'd have to give up croissants and macarons (The French kind! Pierre Herme!) and boeuf bourguignon on most occasions! I took your advice and am starting to read Kevin Gianni's book. Maybe I'm too doubtful or love cooking too much to be...

Kudos to all of you who are at least motivated and brave enough to post on this thread! And thank you egrandi for your personal experience with the raw food diet. I've been looking at alternative healing/holistic approach and the raw food diet makes sense to a certain degree... But yet still not. Do...

Hi all, I'm rather new to this thread but health is important! I'm spending a semester as an exchange student in Paris (yippie!) and it's so hard for me to stay on track with all these amazing desserts, pastries, breads, and whatnot. To compensate I guess I'll just have to exercise more... I used to...

Hi All! I'm new on this thread and I've been rather shy about posting - but you gals are so supportive and that's just what I need to get back on the weight-loss wagon. I was the fittest in my freshman year of high school, 4.5 years ago and weighed 50 kilos (I'm only 158cm). I got there because I ha...

I'd really, really, REALLY like to try a few shades from her holiday collection - but simply CANNOT justify buying two entire, expensive palettes just for two eyeshadows in each one. It'd be great if Silk Naturals could dupe Black Spruce (this one i LOVE from the swatches) Autumn, Earth Metal, Zinc ...
