BellaSugar Community

This post comes from BellaSugar Community member Lauren in the Beauty Product Junkies group.

For my wedding, I had initially wanted to wear a flower in my hair but wanted to only use a fresh flower. Thankfully I realized that a fresh flower probably would have never made it through my afternoon vineyard wedding (a big wilted flower would have made terrible pictures). So as an alternative, I started to shop around for vintage looking brooches. I finally found the one that went perfectly with my dress and jewelry. With the help from a lot of bobby pins, my hairdresser was able to affix the pin in my updo and it never budged.

Here's an excerpt from OnSugar blog Haulies.

Upper Lips: NYX Round Lipgloss in Fire

Lower Lips: Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen in 244

Base: Bare Lips

Those with dry lips like me, fret not. you can wear Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen by itself without any lip balm. I think I wanna rock this for New Year's. What do you think?

Looking for percentages off, free gifts, awesome coupon codes and other deals on your favorite brands? Then look no further — I just started a group for that. My new Beauty Bargains group in the Bella Community is a clearinghouse for sales, great deals, and more Bella bargains than you can shake a stick at. And best of all, when you see a good deal, you can post to the group, too. There's no reason not to get a discount every time you shop, right? Today alone, I've snagged discounts at Sephora, Bath and Body Works, Urban Decay, Tarte, and Too Faced, and there are more to come. Check it out, and if you've seen a good sale, join the group and post it.

We're big on helping one another out here in the Bella community, and I don't want you missing out on the great advice that's getting passed around in our groups. We've got so many great groups designed to help you have more fun (and get you out of a jam), and if you have a good idea, you can start one of your own in a snap. If you want a little help, here's GeekSugar's simple guide to creating one.

Here are some great groups that provide lots of tips and will even help you fix your beauty disasters (which I always appreciate):

• Problem Solved!—Have a beauty dilemma? Post it and let other members help you with their suggestions.
• The Beauty Black List—Had a truly awful experience with a product? Warn others here.
• The Makeup Swap Shoppe—Given a palette you'll never use or a shade of lipstick that's just no good on you? Why not swap it with another reader for something new you might love?
• Natural Hair and Curly Hair Resources—Are you curly and thinking about going natural? This group has all the tips and support you could want.
• DIY Beauty—Want to do it yourself? These ladies want to help.
