Also, in terms of makeup, I bought L'Oreal's Visible Lift because they had a little match your skin by trying dabs of it in a magazine and I could actually try it in the bathroom light then the natural light and I could match their hues to the actual skin tone of my face. I'm easy like that.

I do moisturizer and foundation + lipstick. If I'm really fancy I'll do mascara. Otherwise, nothing. Oh and I usually do a scent of some sort -- maple is my go to scent. Followed by vanilla, or sugar cookies.

Oh, I am sample's bitch.

Let me try something, even for a small charge, before I buy full size and I am a loyal, loyal customer.

If there are any theatre peeps around, I am wondering about something. In non-equity houses is the time for getting into costumes (1/2 hour) included in the 10 out of 12 time, or in addition? So if you are working 12 -12, are the actors called at 11:30 for costumes with a 12 go, or at 12 with a 12:30 go?

A late reply for this.

In equity like aurelia says, 10 of 12 is 10 of 12, actors work 10 hours and no more.

Non-equity gets pretty fuzzy. In LA there are non-equity theatres that are allowed to use equity actors and they are part of the AEA-99 system. They are actually limited to a maximum of 8 of 10, and I believe most of their rehearsals can't go past 6 hours, and they have a pretty low hour cap on the week.

If your theatre is expecting people to work more than a 10 of 12 they are shooting themselves. There is a finite amount of return they can get from people, especially the actors on stage. Pushing for an extra hour or two is foolish as it will be a very unproductive time. Theatres that have their shit together know this and work within the limits. Then again, most professional LORT houses I work in can tech a show in one 10 of 12 and maybe two additional rehearsals and then it is into a handful of previews and opening. Academic theatres that think the world works with multiple 10 of 12 rehearsals and a week of tech and then some previews make me laugh and laugh. Also theatres that think in the real work the overall rehearsal time with the actors is more than about 3 to maybe 4 weeks.

Oh and I usually do a scent of some sort -- maple is my go to scent. Followed by vanilla, or sugar cookies.

Yeah, I always wear a scent. Something chocolate. Will it make me smell like a chocolate-frosted cupcake? Then I will wear it.

Jilli, do you ever wear anything floral?

I'm asking because I NEVER do. I will wear something that smells like food, but florals almost never work for me. They give me headaches, where food scents don't.

I have the opposite issue. Food scents make me ill, but florals are usually safe, if they're not too sweet.

I used to wear Smashbox Primer. Is primer a category in and of itself? I liked what that did for making my skin look smooth. Don't remember why I stopped.

I have been known to wear chocolate scents that have a floral note to them. And one of my One True BPALs (Pink Moon 2005) is peony-based. But mostly, florals are Not My Thing.

I am not a floral girl. I'm sure my favored perfumes (Shalimar and Allure) have floral notes in them, but those are my dressing up perfumes, and they both have strong vanilla bases; Shalimar has a strong amber base, and Allure has more citrus notes than floral.

I wear a vanilla I got at Anthropologie, or B&BW's Lemon, wither alone or layered, for everyday, but I cannot abide floral scents. Mom's Joy gives me a headache. Tuberose is...I am not fond.

I would love to wear the primer again. But I can't afford it right now so I don't....

Actually, I want to try Sephora's dry shampoo too.
