OMG tiredface. Graded for about 15 hours this weekend and do not have tomorrow off. Proud of myself for buckling down and working my way through the piles that accumulated in the month I lost (I technically only missed two days but got hopelessly behind on everything), but can't believe I now have a full week and yet more grading ahead. Also, 70 narrative comments due in two weeks and 12 recommendations due within the next month. Kill me.

Good for you, Pix. That's a damn lot of work, on top of all your actual tired.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And also, all of those look like I'd also have to buy brushes and whatnot. This is complicated! And expensive!
Which is why I'd go for the first if you are truly starting from scratch and experimenting. It has everything and you never really know what is going to click.

And, no, you do not need that lipstick, Jilli. The packaging, however, is STUNNING.
But it's so preeeety!
You're right, I don't need it.
Poor Pix! You've been working really hard.

Wow that's a lot of make-up talk. I've been making notes as I'm just starting (at the age of twenty seven) to wear make-up. Like twice a year. But still!
I think if you don't start wearing it when you're a teenager, it's pretty difficult to get into the habit when you're older. I sort of tried when I was a teenager, but I had awful acne and generally thought that wearing make-up just made me look like a person with terrible acne with a load of make-up crusted on top, and if everyone could see how spotty I was anyway, what was the point in aggravating my skin by wearing it.
So far I have a mascara and an eyeshadow and a powder dealie type thing. This is a big deal!

The reviews say it's smaller in size than the picture looks. It's advertised as travel size. But yeah, it's definitely big in quantity. Does it come with references so that I could buy full sizes of what I like, I wonder?
It could be fun if you really are experimenting, and it's not a bad price for that.
What really grabs me is the packaging. They need to make a travel case like that that you can toss your own stuff into. Cute!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Need to shower and dress so I can go get my errands done. Not feeling motivated at the moment.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I agree with Cass on this one.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Liese, you are of Japanese ancestry, yes? Judging just from pix I've seen , I would say the all colors in the Smashbox set would be more flattering and versatile for your skin tone than the majority of the colors in the bigger sets.
Blushes should be in the peachy-mauvey family, not pink, something like Smashbox Bare: [link]
Same with lippies, something like SB's Pixel or Afterglow gloss. You'll prolly be happier if you try blushes and lippies on. Of all the color makeups though, I splurge on shadows.
It's raining here, after 3 weeks of no rain, and yesterday, i FINALLY got D's ex to go through most of the stuff in the garage and basement, so I can finally start tossing. Which, yay, but fer fuck's sake, I'm tired of cleaning up her messes.
Damn, I want to play with makeup for Buffistas!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you all very much, I just bought a blue nail polish (I've never worn anything outside the pinky-rose color family on my nails!) and two new lipsticks that are perfect colors for me and so far haven't dried my lips. And a black body crayon, which I'm currently wearing as eyeliner. I don't know what possessed me. The spirit of Jilli, perhaps.
