Right ok, so M.A.C has some really nice comsetics especially eyeshadows. www.maccosmetics.com. Also maybelline pure make-up is great cuz it's not harsh on your skin. I personally like Lancome mascara but everyone is different. But origins is all natural comsetics www.origins.com check it out!

Not sure about hair style but this page has good beauty tips and hairstyles,http://www.seventeen.com/beauty but garnier fructis products also Paul Mitchel products are good u should find them in the mall or hair salons

Okay prep look i would say hollister,abercrombie and fitch, areopastale, forever 21(my favorite) charlotte rusee(also one of my favorites) But every store has great accessories u just need to know what u like

For shoes i suggest nine west(just bought shoes from there), keds, charlotte russe also has some nice shoes

Well, I'm no prep (I don't believe in stereotypes anyways), but thrift stores (yes, a place with clothes that have already been worn) have really cool, retro clothes to wear, from "preppy" to "hippie" to whatever. Even though money is not a problem for you, it's still great. You are still growing, so weight loss shouldn't really be on the agenda. However, if you really feel you need to, follow what I tell everyone else:

"Check with your doctor first to find out if you have any health problems that could be contributing to your weight. Check with your parents, too, if it's okay. If you don't have a thyroid problem, or anything other health problem, proceed with the losing weight by eating healthy and exercising.

Nutrition is important. Eat healthy, by getting the caloric amount you need. You do need calories and fat. For more help, go to: http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitn... .(Doesn't matter if you are a teenager or not, it really helps.) Drink plenty of water, just start yourself out slowly. Don't suddenly start drinking eight glasses (you'll really have to go to the bathroom then), but start with four and work your way up.

I'd also suggest becoming vegetarian. But talk to your doctor and family first. :) www.vegsoc.org.nz

Eat 4-6 small meals per day (ie. breakfast, midday snack, lunch, dinner, dessert). NEVER skip a meal. DON'T stop eating. It lets your body realize that there is food in the area and won't store fat for energy.

Exersize. America would be so much thinner if they just exersized. Find an active activity you enjoy doing (dancing, jogging, whatever) and do it! If you don't like exersize, walk after each meal for fifteen minutes each. Alternate days about how hard you push yourself. Day one: push yourself. Day two: do a lighter version of the exersize. Day three: push yourself. Day four: do a lighter version... you get the idea. The reason for alternating is to allow your muscles to heal. Never push yourself more than at a level which you can carry on a conversation. It burns the most fat that way. "

I find this a little weird. I'm sure you'll be just fine, and don't need to worry about this stuff. Besides, shouldn't people like you for who you are, not necessarily your clothing and accessories and make up?

Well, good luck with your goal, and have fun.

Well, if you're preppy, I suggest the following stores:
- Abercrombie and Fitch (www.a&f.com)
- American Eagle (www.ae.com)
- The Gap (www.gap.com)
- Express (for jeans and "party" tops) www.expressfashion.com

Try a pair of Converse in a really cool color or pattern to match with different outfits. (www.converse.com) You probably shouldn't need a lot of makeup at your age, but try new lipglosses from Mac (lipglass is the best, and lasts longer). For shoes and other accessories, a pair of ballet flats are always in style and cool, but mix it up with some nice booties or knee high boots in solid, staple colors such as black and brown. You don't have to have the coordinating bag, but, since you're a prep, you probably would want it. At your age, try some by Guess, XOXO, or just wear one of those oversized bags from American Eagle, etc. Other cool accessories would be the long necklaces, and plastic earrings. You can find those at Forever 21; you don't want to spend too much on these cause they are trendy.

Relative to weight loss, just try cutting out fatty, processed foods and incorporating more fruits and veggies in. That should help drop 10 lbs.

Hope I've helped!

Weight loss: focus on healthy. The best diets I have seen is the high fiber diet where you get 25 grams of fiber and 7 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Everything else you eat is up to you. Just make sure you drink a lot of water. Normally I eat All Bran Honey Oat Flakes in the morning, rice and beans or chili for lunch, and whatever mom makes for dinner.

Makeup-- I like NYC eye make up (cheap in CVS-- I am on a tight budget) and Vaseline for lip gloss. You might want to get a makeover at Sephira or a department store for their recommendations. I would use gold eye shadow, brown eyeliner and mascara, and then a rosey lip gloss.

Hair-- I would cut it to your mid back (like bra strap) with long layers and side-swept bangs. You can straighten it, make it wavy, or curly. You can also add golden highlights.

Clothes- I like H&M clothes. They are really nice and stylish. I like colored shirts with jeans and a cute cami underneath. Gap and Macys also have really cute clothes. Styles change a lot based on location, but alloy.com is a good source. Charlotte Russe has some party clothes I like.

Accessories- I love my Tiffany's. But if you are realistic, look at different stores where you buy your clothes and see what what they have.

Shoes- Wedge heels, flip-flops, and boots are popular. I love Charlotte Russe's shoes.

Have a great year!

Where I'm from public schooling isn't very well so should you wish a well schooling you must attend to a personal one. But this quite is dependent, a few public colleges are very well and a few are very dangerous, simply as a few personal colleges are very well and others very dangerous.
