Beauty Abbreviations

You know how you're reading a review for a makeup product and all of a sudden there's an abbreviation that makes absolutely no sense at the moment. Okay, it might not happen for you smarter girls but I get super frantic trying to figure it out. I got most of them from makeupalley but I deleted the ones that were unnecessary or just didn't make any sense, I also added a few that I knew that weren't on the list. I'm not really the type that would use abbreviations or acronyms because I find hidden joy in typing things full out, but its always nice to know what other girls are talking about.
