× I usually chat about makeup, skin care and fashion with my friends because me and my friends have common interests and be like fashion, makeup and all those *****.
✓ I usually chat about makeup, skin care and fashion with my friends because my friends and I have common interests like fashion, makeup and all those things.
The pronoun 'me' is incorrectly used as the subject of the sentence; the correct subject pronoun is 'I'. Also, 'be like' is incorrect here; it should be 'like' to express similarity. The phrase 'all those *****' is unclear and should be replaced with 'all those things' for clarity.
× I prefer chatting with only one friend because it's more understanding and and it's not a chaos.
✓ I prefer chatting with only one friend because it is more understanding and it is not chaotic.
The phrase 'more understanding' is acceptable but could be clearer; however, 'it's not a chaos' is incorrect because 'chaos' is an uncountable noun and should not have an article 'a'. Instead, use the adjective 'chaotic' to describe the situation.
