Also I went with the least painful way and just ordered bras in 4 different sizes from Target from their new Auden collection. They're about 1/4 of the cost of my regular bras and should at least provide a stopgap until I figure out what size I'm going to wind up being.

I don’t mind shopping but no malls - too much walking and too many people! I tried the boutique option on Just Fab.... just, no. Apparently my style is so varied that I need to hand pick everything. I’ve been hardcore browsing Fashion Nova and Amazon. I put a bunch of stuff in my Amazon cart. I’m thinking I’ll just stick to the personal items I need from Amazon, and get the rest from a fashion site. Amazon has great casual dresses. Agree. Prime Wardrobe is great.

I tried a bra with the wide back and wide straps, no wires but removable pads in the cups. So comfortable. No bra overhang in the back. The bra is not supportive like a sports bra. They were 2 for $10 at Big Lots. I also bought my sports bras there for about the same amount. I've had those for years.

I ordered this bra a fewweeks ago on the recommendation of a FB group I belong to. It does have an underwire but it is quite comfortable. The only weird part is that it doesn't push my boobs together at all. I've been wearing VS t-shirt bras for the last year, and they push together like no one's business. It's like they're actually in a normal position, and it's odd. I'll probably order another one soon.

I don't know... I think that would look terrible on me. Bright reds seem to look much better on darker skin. I'm very pale and tend to look like a corpse with bright lipsticks

There are 7 shades. Pick one and I'll try it too. At $5 I was going to get a couple of them anyway. Supposedly they've been tested against 50 skin shades.

I've been wanting to try one for a while. I'm planning on going to DSW and Ulta after work so I may finally get one. I'm thinking the pink one since it's that time of year. I want to try the plum.

I want to try the plum also. I want to actually try them all except the red. I've never met a red lipstick that I didn't like, so I know I'll like it. And I have way too many red lipsticks already. If you try the plum, I will too. I'm also going to pick up the nude too. I have trouble finding nudes that don't look like I just coated my lips in concealer.

So I got the plum and mauve. I'm down with the plum. I'm on the fence about the mauve. Thing 1 said it was cute. I don't know.

I'm jealous of all of you that can carry off lipstick. it makes me super self-conscious, so I rarely wear any even if I have makeup on. I always play up my eyes instead, not like MAC bright, but a lot of color blending. I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks of the "color for everyone" though! I just redeemed some DSW rewards that are expiring soon, picking up this pair of espadrilles for $30. I went with the pale yellow. linkI saw them a few weeks back as a featured style in an ad email and loved them.

entirely valid! after spending 3y working at a site where I had to remove any makeup I was wearing in order to access the production suite, I'm slowly working my way back into it in general. the current office isn't active mfg, and I can dress more girly, wear fun shoes and makeup, and all that.

I started with getting color matched at Sephora so I'd be wearing something as close to my natural lip color as possible. Now I've swung to the other side of the spectrum and own blue and purple lipstick. My day to day currently is a sparkly pink I got at Sephora.

Why do a full face of makeup and not finish it off with a good lipstick? Try at least the nude or mauve in the color for everyone and see what you think. Colour Pop has some good ones and if you get it from Ulta, you can return it if you don't like it. Elf has a cute nude in their lip lacquer line. All are affordable, so if you don't like them, you didn't waste a ton of money.

I'm liking the mauve a lot more now. I was going to give it to Thing 1, I think I'll keep it now.

Prevents lipstick from bleeding. Only need one! Or in my case, 3 because I lost the first one and then decided I needed one for work as well as at home. But in general - fewer lipliners!
