Okay y'all - I've been otherwise occupied for toooo long. Can't possibly catch up. However, I must say - Raye, love the ponytail! How did you attach it? How did you then hide said attachment? I am so tired of this 'between' stage of my hair - no longer looking like just-outta-chemo, but not yet anything I can do something decent with. Constantly looks like hat-head or bed-head, cow-licks galore. Unless it is just freshly washed, then it is loose-ish curls.

Marin, I like the sound of your eye-droop fix - glad it worked! What color is it under the lashline? Do you still use a darker contour color? Do you use the white Rimmel only towards the center inner line? Does yours last all day like Roctober's? Mine doesn't.

Lisa...I have a few of those Cool Effects crayons, so depending upon my outfit and the other makeup I'm wearing, I use one of them. They're all light colors though and I've completely given up contouring with any dark stuff because, inevitably, it gets smushed around and I look like I'm back in chemo. My eyes, I'm finding, look best in light pastels with a bit of shimmer. And I only use the Rimmel white on the outer half of the bottom lids. I apply it inside the rims and then add the crayon right under the lashes.

Do you guys ever use false eyelashes? How about the individual ones or the small strips? Are some brands better than others? I really don't want to go there, but my lashes just haven't come back to "normal" and I'm starting to lose hope. Ugh.

Also, what do you use to keep your brows in line? I don't have much to speak of (just the inners really...the outers are mainly tattoo), but they "droop" and I'd like to keep them in place.

Tina - yes, with the Sublime you will see results right away, as it is tinted.

Lisa - that ponytail! Thanks. Got it at Sally Beauty for like $25, it has a type of almost, dare I say, banana clip on the back which secures it to your hair very nicely. I clipped the remaining hair back and then used a wide stretchy headband to cover some of the clips. Beth talks about the different stages of hair growth (i.e., getting the hair in a little pony tail, and then a higher one, etc. - little breakthroughs in hair growth). When I can get my hair into the higher one, I want to buy a long straight ponytail - kind of like Madonna wore in the Blonde Ambition Tour - think it would be cool. I agree, the hair stage now is frustrating, but it's growing.

Marin - I used false eyelashes twice - liked the look, but very difficult for me to apply - I wore them to work so I felt a little drag queenish. I bought cheapies, though - not the nice MAC ones like Beth. I think mine were Revlon?

Laura and I were cheaters this weekend .....  we were in Vegas, poolside!  We put lots of sunscreen on the kids but we needed our tans ... no burns!!

Oh and can you see our matching necklaces?  Laura got all the Rocktober girls matching elephant necklaces.  It''s our mascot since elephants hold each other up during sickness/problems.  Elephants will surround the sick elephant and make sure it doesn't fall ... falling is death to the elephant.  Anyway, that's been our mascot and Mother Brenda got us into that and Sister Laura is the generous benefactor to all the sisters.

Rocktober- I can't believe the coincidence. I haven't visited this thread so much lately (let alone posted) but happened to stop by tonight just in time to see your great pics. My husband and I are going to Vegas mid-June, just booked the flight yesterday! I've never been. Now I have a mission for my shopping trip with another bc.org member tomorrow. Need shirts suitable for 100 degree temps.

Roctober-

Love your pictures.  It looks like you had a great time in Las Vegas. Like the necklaces too. 

Lauralynne-Mary Kay makes a very rich pink cream in a jar. I cannot remember the name, something like super emoillent cream.  It works great on extra-extra dry skin and I used it on my heels several years ago.  Find a Mary Kay rep and ask about it.  I think that may help you.

You girls look so darned cute and I love the necklaces and what they represent. Gorgeous photo and nice color girls!

Lauralynne - I cannot add anything to these knowledgeable ladies' recommenations but Vasoline with Saran Wrap.

Tonight I am going to see STP in concert - can't wait. Am thinking of going and getting the long straight dark brown ponytail to wear to the concert!! My current hair is not very rockin.

Raye

Thanks Lauralynne - that ponytail is really huge! It might get caught on fire. Here is the straight on I bought today. Ok girls, no more pics for awhile - you're probably all sick of looking at my mug!!

OMG, Raye, you are so freaking stunning! Every damn one of your pics look like Glamour Shots! Do you take these of yourself or is your photographer Annie Leibovitz? What kind of camera do you use?

How was the concert?
