I think I'm discovering that I'm allergic to my new expensive lipstick, of which I bought two tubes. Pisser. It's so pretty

Brand and shade?

My favorite comment on the Zaty pillows from ita's link:

Aww. It's like Bert from Sesame Street had both hands cut off in a bizarre accident, and then came alive and started killing everyone, but then they saw the error of their ways and repented and started looking after babies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Brand and shade?

Lip gloss, to be accurate. Moonbeam reflective gloss in Aero and Deep Space. I went to the store looking for Impossibly Glossy in Braisin, but they were out, and I wanted it for that night. Anything ridiculously glossy in wine and something mostly like my skin tone would have done...but in the past ten years I've been allergic to only one lip colour I've tried. It didn't even enter my mind to buy one tube to test first.

I think gloss will be more risky than lipstick.

Any chance you can get your money back on it?

That's very lame. I hate not being able to use stuff that looks good because it makes my skin wig. (Which, sadly, happens often, as my skin's hair-trigger about such things.)

It was Nordie. I might have a shot. It's so fucking glossy, though!

My allergy to most lip balm (could be all--I'm certainly not experimenting any more) is twenty odd years old. This is just the third gloss/lipstick in that time that I've tried that has given me that foreboding tingling feeling that presages a rash.

Rash on lips not fun.

Do you recall the kind that made you react before? If so, cross check ingredients with both and one you know you don't react to. Might prove useful in the future.

I have water. Frigid cold, but water. Cannot live with indoor plumbing without water.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Random:

I was walking through the Nature Mart parking lot on my way to the liquor store to get a couple of cans of Diet Dr. Pepper, when an old hippie lady in a beat-up pickup truck pulled up next to me and hollered, "GREAT HAIR! LOVE THE COLOR! FAR OUT!"

She actually said, "Far out."
