So I'm currently studying abroad in Hong Kong and I'm pretty lost. Do you guys have any suggestions about good brands, shopping centers, salons, and nightlife? Are the asian makeup brands here good?

TIA

Does Sephora have their friends & family discount only once a year?  I'm looking into getting some foundation from Nars and it would be great if I could at a discounted price.

Also has anyone tried out the Nars Sheer Glow foundation?

Thanks!

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

Hey beauties!

Hi ladies! 
I could really use some help, lol

First off: How do you get rid of those icky little whiskers? What would you suggest? I have sensitive, and thin skin. I'm curious about bleaching it, but I'm not sure how I would look with yellow whiskers lol. Has anyone done it before and is it noticeable? A picture would be nice... hehehe XD

Secondly: Bras! I don't know what's wrong with me! Maybe because it's the winter break and I've been home in pjs all day and I've gotten use to not wearing a bra. :< Now it's sooo uncomfortable to get me back into one. What would you suggest I do? lol I feel like I'm suffocating every time I wear one. I don't really have big breasts, but school is in a week and it would be horrible to go to school without a bra on....lol

Help! :) Please and thank you! 

shipping in the USA should be around $3

please send payment directly to my account to avoid fees!

Hi everyone, any recommendations? I'm eyeing some of the newer scents. =)

I like fruity or vanilla scents, for reference, something like Love Spell. Not a big fan of Strawberries and Champagne although I love strawberries.

I am interested in the lotions, not the sprays, if that matters!

Hey girls,

I've been searching for some ankle boots and I found some that I like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sexy-Lace-Up-Oxford-Heels-Ankle-Boots-Shoes-US-7-38_W0QQitemZ320466761694QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Women_s_Shoes?hash=item4a9d4eb7de

But I checked around and there are multiple sellers, all from China, that are selling these boots. And they all have the same pictures, which looks like they're from a catalog or magazine. 

Should I take this as a bad sign? And if you know of any similarly styled boots, please link me!
Thanks
