Well the Rangers have lost both games I've listened to, so I will not listen to the next game. I was able to rig up my stereo speakers in the front windows, so I weeded for the whole game. Like 20 more gallons.

Now Cowboys and they are playing like shite also. Grrr.

I managed a few more fire ant bites also, but today I had fire ant killer granuales to put out. Die mf fire ants DIE.

Erin, I haven't used the Strobe Cream, but that's because I have a rather astonishing collection of REALLY SHIMMERY powders that I can use for the same effect. (I have to admit, Aromaleigh's "Dazzle" powder from their Twilight set is the best sparkle dust I ever found.)

I used to wear Smashbox Primer. Is primer a category in and of itself?

I almost always wear primer when going out. Love the stuff. Some of the drugstore brands now have primers, but I haven't tried them.

Strobe is more an illuminator than a dazzler, which is why I like it in me old age.

Lancome sold tiny vials of Micropailettes when I worked there in 96, which was the best truly sparkly, not irritating iridescent, silver glitter I have come across. It's discontinued, and I hoarded that vial like it was from Bolivia for almost 10 years. You could safely use it around the eyes, and it was so potent, I used a toothpick to apply it.

Nowadays, I use Origin's Ginger sparkly body powder layered on top of Strobe if I am tarting myself up for a club, but that happens so damned rarely anymore.

See, all of this is why I don't wear makeup. Even reading it is exhausting me!

ION, I knew this woman in college, and boy does she have a weird life. [link]

O Rilly? Which ones?

God, I loved that stuff. That, and the Lancome liquid eyeliner that came in the tiny glass bottle.

Heee! Apparently Monistat Chafing Gel is as good as Smashbox: [link] (that sentence, by the way, cracks me up for its potential irony.

MAC Prep & Prime SPF 50 is still the best stuff I've found.

I have to admit, I don't love the feel of it but it's fantastic when I need extra sun protection on my face.

I was outside all day in the scorching Southern California sun three days in a row during their recent heat and that layered with a tinted moisturizer (also with a sunscreen) and Aromaleigh power (barrier sunscreen) over it and I didn't burn. At all.

They sold the Lancome stuff for like, 1 year? I was so sad.

They also has Macquieclat concealer which had a sponge applicator and the PERFECT yellow for concealing undereye circles. Why they discontinued that I'll never know.

Sorry, flea! High end makeup is the only designer thing I can sometimes afford, and I luuuurve it. Almost as much as books.
