I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks for the link, tommyrot.

I'm not wearing makeup, but I am planning to get my lashes re-dyed. That, plus the occasional pedicure, is pretty much the extent of my beautification routine. My freshman year at college I wore a fair bit of makeup, but then I started doing tech theater and staying out until 3 am. An extra 20 minutes of sleep in the morning did more for my looks than concealer ever could.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because I wonder if the dislike is based on a physiological intolerance for capsaicin, which your skin shares.

I don't know about that -- I love to eat spicy food, but my skin will burn for hours after chopping chiles, if I'm not careful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Probably from before you found your OTL, Black Honey.

I had been trying to find a good bright red, dark brown, and a pink. I've decided there is no pink for me, and I haven't found a red out of a tube, but I can mix one up, and have a pretty decent brown in Mac Photo, which is the only other colour I'm likely to wear.

I also found a tube of Dior's Ultra Gloss Reflect, and for shits and giggles decided to put it on top of the Black Honey lip gloss. OMFG do I look bubble gum obscene. It's perversely fascinating. I'll make sure to blot it off before I get to work. I'm pretty sure this was to go on top of the bright red lip colour.

I can eat medium hot things and my tolerance has increased since adulthood. This is just odd. Skin looks fine, but feels like I pressed it into a hot iron and should be blistering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Menthol simulates cooling the same way capsaicin does heat (ie, tricks the nerves) - if you have mint leaves or mint tea, maybe that would help?

Because books.

Even just regular tea bags may take the heat out, msbelle. They work for sunburn.

right now it slathered in cold yogurt and feels pretty good.

Just got back from yoga and went skinny dipping. This is pretty much sublime.

have a pretty decent brown in Mac Photo,

I'll have to try that. I found my One True Brown in a cheap lipgloss that I bought from a random store one day when I'd left my makeup bag at home and had dinner plans.

Art Crawl!!!

Looks like Frontera does accept reservations but:

Though our dining room is mostly seated on a first come first serve basis, we take a limited amount of reservations for all size parties. For weekend please book 6-8 weeks out. Please call 312.661.1434 to check availability.

Liese, what I'd do is buy the colors you think will be good adn play with them. That's the best thing.
