Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Is $24 a decent price if I'm ignoring 1/4 of the box? I did like their wax, which I can also get separately, but I'd rather do a twofer.

No. Maybe the Clinique Brow Shaper is a better bet? [link]

I don't know anything about the quality of their brow wax, or any brow wax, really. I use loose pigment and OCC's Mixing Medium.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Fred.

Am back home and am tired.

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

Does that still need a wax/gel, or is that both in one?

Oh wait, that one is just powder. Hmmm.

Can't add to the makeup discussion. My main issue is the stupid white hair. Just one.

FTR: watched one of the LOTR films, and while I enjoyed it, decided I wanted to keep the imagery I had in my head from my dad reading the whole thing to me as a child. Never sought to actually read it myself. Not a sports fan, really.

My deltoids hurt tonight. But I did swim faster than usual.

Loki's walking sessions seem to cut down on the whininess. And tonight one of my neighbors got to see the insanity, and since he knows her, he didn't get all spooky. Well, not much. He really like his walks.

Because books.

I love that you walk Loki, sara. I don't think I have enough patience to do that with a cat.

I've never used brow pencil or anything else. Now I'm wondering if I need to!

I really need to get photo proof. We don't go far, or fast, and really, the hilarity of it mitigates the need for patience (and idiocy of standing in the same place for minutes on end until I boot him in the butt to at least go sniff a different patch of grass, ferchissakes.) Tonight he discovered sharpening his claws on a tree. Oh, the bliss of that!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The highest point of the arch should be directly over your iris, and (unless you have a specific exaggerated look you are going for), the end of the brow shouldn't extend past the corner of your eye.

As far as thickness of thinness, I think medium is best. Your face is neither very delicate or extremely strong featured, so that would suit.

Origins used to make the BEST auburn eyebrow gel, but not for many years. MAC's is a touch too burgundy but better than brown (for me.)

I tried to walk Cosmo once, as she dashes insanely for freedom at every opportunity (and promptly heads into the bushes) but she was all pancake-cat at the harness.

I would say that brow pencil or powder is best for people who have fill-in issues, but a gel, clear or nearest matching the hair color, is best for most people. It keeps the hairs in place and adds a slight but noticeable definition to the eyes, much like the difference you can barely see with a lip tone matching lippies as opposed to bare lips.

Dude, I applied to work at a makeup counter at Macy's today. Can I get some references from this board?!

I wonder if I overdo my brows. Now I'm paranoid. They're not naturally sparse, or anything.

AM I THAT WOMAN???

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Loki's walking sessions seem to cut down on the whininess.

I tried to harness train Miss Kitty. She had been an indoor/outdoor cat in California but we had to change that to indoor cat here in Colorado. Each time I would put the harness on, she would become a flat cat and refuse to move.

Occasionally she gets out but all she does is roll around on the concrete and is easily ushered back in. I tried to give her the chance to do this yesterday and she sat by the door and gave me the stupid human look.
