Do you like it, bon? I'm in love with the brow stuff. I'm at risk of Joan Crawfording.

I have lots of thoughts on it. It's ok. I don't regret buying it because I need photo finish anyway. But other than the pf, nothing really grabs me. I wish the brow stuff did more for me-- you can't really fill these babies in, and they're not unruly. The eyeshadow isn't quite saturated enough and ends up being more of a suggestion. I've never used cream blush before; I like trying something different but it doesn't beat Orgasm yet. I wish the "champagne" color did what the booklet claims (shadowing AND highlighting, apparently) instead of just making me look like I've escaped from Our Gang; but I'm excited to use the scarlet color for those few times I'm all dolled up. But I find the eyeliner stuff doesn't seem to work and still suffers from lack of saturation. As for the lip stuff, I have tons of wonderful lipsticks and glosses so I'll just add those to the pile of cosmetics I never use. I think I need to experiment more with it, like wetting the eyeshadow to deepen the color and figuring out what the white highlighter is for.

Between him and Aveda my skin's a bit pricey

Origins. Origins skin care line is probably going to own my soul. I just got the Plantidote serum, and I think I have found my One True Skincare Product. Thank goodness I'm on the mailing list and they send me coupons for my birthday.

"When in doubt, hit the button."

This is what the trainer just said. He's breeding the elevator riders that Allyson hates.

Aveeno stings me. I am a delicate flower.

I called myself a delicate flower the other day, and the guy I was talking to the said "A flower maybe, but hardly delicate." Took me days to parse that as a compliment. I'd marry him, but I think I need to marry my chiropractor instead. Good hands.

Mayhap I'll try that aspirin concoction on him in a small dose and see what happens.

You can also toss a handful of aspirin into the tub, along with honey.

Pro-activ has worked for my skin, though it may have a drop-off effect. I've been meaning to try the Badescu stuff, though.

"A flower maybe, but hardly delicate."

Awwwww.

"Badescu" sounds to me like a 60s cartoon villian. Boris Badunov's Romanian cousin, maybe.

Pro-activ has worked for my skin

Is that the P Diddy stuff?

I need to look at the Smashbox box again. I love the brow stuff, as noted, since filling in and neatening is precisely what mine needed. Makes it look like I've waxed, even. The lip gloss is nice and neutral and works well with the pencil that came with, and the pencil I have, even though it can't last all day. The fancy eye stuff is...okay. More flash than I'm used to. I'll probably test it again at the holidays. The eyeliner maker needs more testing too.

I don't think I can ever leave Aveda. The have the one true hair stuff for me -- it smells just right, and I'm very smell precarious. It's one of the few scents that never affects my migraines. It always smells amazing, and it works too. Half their stuff is minty and sting-y and horrible, but the stuff that works is great.

WIN.INI? Are you people on crack? Are you from 1993? Are you trying to kill me?

I'm Aveda for hair, Mary Kay for skincare. I tried Pro-Active once, though. It didn't quite work as well as MK for me.

The biggest difference between my last pregnancy and this one is the zits. My skin was glowy and breakout free with Owen. With the new one, my skin is like ass.

Is there an old wives' tale about a skin-portent with pregnancy?

I dunno, Cash. With Lillian, I had the skin of a 17 year old, in the bad way.
