I didn't realise there was so much I didn't know...haha. For a long time I thought "FOTD" meant "foto of the day", and I couldn't believe people were abbreviating the word "foto" instead of "photo"...eeek.

I know this isn't make-up related, but lots of people put "HTH" (hope that helps) at the end of their post and that confused me for a loooong time aswell lol.

Rare isn't an abbreviation, it's just a word. Translated to dutch, it means "zeldzaam".

RARE isn't an abbreviation for anything. It just means the item is rare, or hard to find. Possibly from a Limited edition collection or something.

Can you post a link where you have seen it to make sure it isnt an abbreviation.

HAUL...

I'm not sure of the meaning of this...

but judging by the content of the "Haul" entries/posts, it looks like it means stuff.

Can someone clarify for me?

Haul isn't an abbreviation either, it's what you call it when you've done some shopping, and want to show what you got. So it's stuff you've just bought.

OMG This has been SO helpful! Wow... I kinda feel really slow right now LoL.

Well, I dont have an abbreviation but! I do say the term "beat". Like, to beat a face. Or your face is beat! I dunno if yall use it but I do all the time! LoL

It just means, your whole face is flawless. Or your makeup is done really nicely.
