Hi Tyra! I'm so glad I saw your show on makeup and their expiration date. My only problem with that: I was using an eyeshadow and blush palette from five years ago!! I also threw away more than half of my makeup. I look in my cosmetic bag now and I have practically nothing. I know, I know...it's an excuse to go makeup shopping. I just don't know that I could find the type of things I threw away. I don't really have a lot of disposable cash right now. I'll just have to deal with having a little less crap on my face now. :) I'd rather wear less than have something that could potentially harm me. Thanks again.

loved the show...however, my makeup collection could put your guests to shame (in size anyways) only maybe 10%, according to the show, is ready to be tossed. it is an obsession! i worked in cosmetics for 2 1/2 yrs wanted to become a makeup artist...which never happened. however, i still buy makeup constantly because i like to practice...natural, glamour, fantasy, ect. and when it comes to skincare, well, my stuff never makes it to the expiration, because i use it up. anyone who buys so many different types of cleansers and lotions and doesnt use them up is doing a disservice to their skin. changing routines too often will irritate the skin and also not allow the user the appropriate time frame to see results. yup...

Hey Tyra, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I needed this show because I'm the bag lady. No purse is too big for me. I had makeup from yeeeaaaarrrsss ago!! I wiped everything older than 2 months old out. What about poweder based bronzers or the new wave of mineral makeups though? Now I just need to get my summer wardrobe together because now that I'm not in college anymore I have to figure out how to not look like a 16 year old and embodie the 28 years of life I actually have. No serously I'm 28 and I still look like a kid so I'll be waiting to see that show with baited breath!!!

Dating is not married or even engaged. Kate is needy and she needs to do what is best for her. Kate, he is not married to you and you are only 4 months into the dating thing not a relationship. He is not married to you so he is entitled to do what he wants without you feeling that he needs to check in with you every minute. He is a good looking man and he will attract attention from other women out there. I am 45 years old and I see it this way, if he is not married to you than he is at free will to do what he wants and so are you. Why do girls hitch their wagons to one man right away when there are so many others out there that might attract your attention. It is what men do all of the time, and if he is avoiding your calls, perhaps you need to lay off for a while, a man likes to chase not to be chased.

extreme facsination and pity could make us be weighed down with the junks in our pocession..i remember when i was young,i would even have pity on the wrapper of a ham or pie i had just eaten and feel about it if i had to throw the wrapper far away from the place i had bought it..
