I'm not on Clomid, so what's my excuse?
You went outside for 3 seconds, or your office has bad AC.
Salem is supposedly 5 degrees hotter than Boston. What. The. Fuck.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My pink-ness has blue undertones, actually, versus peach or yellow. Does that make a difference?
Yes. This is why you want cool undertones.
What Plei said. It means you have a similar skin tone to me, and you absolutely want cool undertones.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So when you say "cool undertones"....that's colors with blue-ish-ness?
1: those Whitestrip things actually work.
I have non-porcelain veneers on the 6 front-most top teeth; whitestrips don't do anything on them b/c of the material they are. And I've had them for over 10 years, so all that coffee has discolored them.
What I need to do is get porcelain veneers or crowns. But I'm (1) lazy and (2) trying to get OUT of debt, not incur more, even for something that will make me not hide my teeth when someone takes a picture of me.

Of course, you can go a lot darker with lipsticks than she can, and she can go a lot brighter (Tep could rock a blue-based hot pink, for example), so Tep, don't go stealing Jilli's lipstick wardrobe.

Yes. The best example I can think of that you could take a look at is the NARS lipstick Scarlett Empress. That is a blue-toned red. I know that it's probably a darker color than what you're looking for, but it's a great example of a lipstick with cool undertones.
And I've had them for over 10 years, so all that coffee has discolored them.
Lipstick with the right undertones will actually make your teeth look whiter. That's the surefire way I can tell if a lipstick is wrong for me.

Aha! You may want to try the Sally Hansen lipsticks that are supposed to make your teeth look whiter, assuming they still make 'em.

I'm raising my eyebrow in doubt at the idea of a hot pink on me, even one that has the proper undertone. IJS.
NARS lipstick Scarlett Empress.
*Really*??? I like that a LOT.

Not necessarily. I wouldn't wear it to work, for instance, but I'd wear it at night.
but it's a great example of a lipstick with cool undertones.
Excellent. Now I know which way to aim. Thanks!

Hee. Try it in a sheer gloss sometime.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I do too, but I need warm undertones so it actually looks like ass on me. I'm envious of you cool poeple that can wear it.

If you apply a single, very light coat of it and then blot it a couple times, it would turn into a good lip stain for you.
(At least, that's what I've heard. I don't quite get the notion of applying lipstick lightly.)
