Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Nicole - I echo the Urban Decay 24/7 love. If you wanna hit Sephora together, let me know.
Just got home from a meeting at school for the 8th grade DC/NYC trip. Looks like it will be a small group - maybe 15 kids. CJ is so excited. This may be his only Christmas gift from me. While pulling the money together may be a challenge, it is something I really want him to be able to do. He is going out to Cali for Fall break with G'pa next week - hoping that I can get G'pa to contribute too.
Ahahaha. See, I am all of that. Makeup, fake nails, kittens, cats, babies (other people's,) hair dye, salons, heels, but I do draw the line at shopping. It makes me cranky. And I really need to replace my winter wardrobe. And the makeup and hair after swimming, I don't bother. My neighbors are more used to me without than with. I used to not go out without full hair and face, but now I don't care (seeing how I looked good in pix in Nepal emboldened me.)
Basically, I've gotten to where I don't HAVE to be or do anything wrt image. I do what I want, no explaining. WYSIWYG at any given moment.
With the mewing and the purring and the soft fur and big eyes. Cute!
And the eating and the peeing and the smelling. Pictures are just fine, thankee.
This convo totally makes me feel like I should put on a full face of makeup.
Guaranteed I will not feel like this tomorrow morning, and the most I will accomplish will be to apply lip gloss at the stoplight.
Who's a famous chick with helpfully shaped eyes who looks good to you, Liese?
PTI had birthday wishes for Michelle Wei today. She is drop dead gorgeous.
The one thing I've nearly given up on is lipstick. I can never find a shade that looks good or right on me, they all wear off immediately, and the lip stain ones are incredibly drying. The Burt's Bees cocoa lip tint usually does just fine instead.
I have seen the sand cats at Cincinnati Zoo. They are indeed adorable.
Possibly thanks to you people, I'm going to replace the empty tube of chapstick in my purse with actual gloss with color. Of course, by "chapstick," I mean this stuff.
Clinique's Black Honey is my one true colour/moisturiser. It feels a wee bit stickier than the Vaseline I usually wear, but it does last all day, and that's longer than one application of petroleum jelly. I'm allergic to something in just about every lip balm. That was a shocking summer when I developed that allergy. Lip rash=major ick.
Of course, by "chapstick," I mean this stuff.
Did you buy it for the cowgirl?
If you wanna hit Sephora together, let me know.
Yes, please! Is there one downtown? Maybe we could drag Amyth with us tomorrow evening... Or just go to one out here on Sunday, if you aren't busy.
And yay for CJ! I bet he'll have a blast.
The one thing I've nearly given up on is lipstick.
Every so often I'll buy some and then within a few days I'll give it away to my co-worker that loves make-up. She also loves that the shades I pick always seem to look great on her.
