crumpets: does makeup expire? I could see investing in some really high quality stuff providing that it will last the ten or twenty years it will take me to use it up.

Laga, I don't have anything you could borrow really--you'd need it overnight, and I need it every morning.

We'll have to pick a place to meet. It will probably be closer to 3:30, though.

Hold on, let me google.

Anytime anyplace works for me on Monday. I have the whole day off.

Insent.

yahoo or gmail?

lordy I just caught a giant bug in the box office. It looks like one of those Texas cockroaches. (it was wearing boots and smoking a cigar) I have trapped it in a poster tube which I labeled, "there is a giant bug (roach?) in here". I wonder if I should save it for the exterminator or throw the whole thing out in the dumpster.

When I explained that nothing worked to a salesperson in Sephora, she got me to try "Kiss Me" masacara by Blinc, which works very differently than other mascaras.

I wonder if that would work for me. My problem is that I have oily eyelids, and the oil takes off waterproof mascara. My other problem is that I can't imagine spending $25 on mascara.

I'm terrible at makeup, Laga, but I have found that the mineral-based powder foundation stuff is pretty foolproof. I'm no good at liquid foundation.

I do OK with foundation! I just buy the lightest shade I can find. It's the blush and the mascara that scares me. And the fact that all the lipsticks I have are in some shade of shocking pink or purple. I favor the magic-color-changing fun type stuff. Right now I'm having a wee panic attack reminiscent of those times in high school when my hair stylist would show me something Really Cool! I could do at home but in the morning before school I Could Not Get It To Work The Way It Had In The Salon!

Laga, insent in a minute, I should have said. I'm writing mondo email with an alternative I may have found.

backflung, KT. Big giant thank-yous!
