So it will do nothing to my eye color, got it.

Not that I can justify spending the money on it right now, so I won't be buying it. But I am curious about the stuff.

I tend to go seasonal on my makeup, as in I forsake it late spring through early fall and start phasing it back in once the weather turns cooler.

lisah, I would LOVE a copy of your band's song!

If I recall, Vaniqa, the cream used to inhibit facial hair growth in women, was originally a treatment for African Sleeping Sickness. They had stopped making the drug and selling it in Africa--even though it was an easier, more effect treatment for sleeping sickness--because it was too expensive.

A side effect of the drug was inhibiting facial hair. It was out of production for a very long time until someone got the idea to market it for facial hair treatment! Let's let poor Africans die from a treatable illness until some woman in an industrialized nation wants to fight peach fuzz.

The problem with any hypothetical relationship I would have with Neil DeGrasse Tyson is that during arguments I would be bound to yell "You demoted Pluto."

I realize we've sort of moved on, and I should be talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson (but won't), but: for work, I wear Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation and some blush, and that's it. I should probably wear more lipstick, but eh. I do put on chapstick semi-obsessively. Weekends, no makeup.

I feel like I'm living in a freaking rainforest.

I don't wear lipstick on a regular basis. I should wear more.

I have a pet peeve that makes wearing lipstick problematic on a daily basis. I hate lipstick stains on cups...they gross me out. So if I do bother to put lipstick on in the AM, when I get coffee on my way to work, I have to wipe off my lipstick before I can take a drink.

(Oh don't be all logical and suggest I bring my lipstick to work and apply it after I have my coffee. There is no room in my mornings for logic.)

Re: Fay, given that she was posting to a group outside of the UK, I believe that she had been in England, and (separately) has a new job.

You know that point where the milk hasn't quite gone off, yet, but, when added to tea, you end up with congealed bits on the sides of the mug and on the surface? Yeah, that.

Whoa, where is everybody? We've decided on a place to rent in Cincinnati: [link] The street dead ends across unused train tracks and down a hill into the Whole Foods parking lot. That could be dangerous.

It's absolutely pouring outside. My office has so-so climate control which doesn't include a dehumidifier, so everything inside is soggy. bleah ... guess this is what I get for living in a swamp.

For makeup and skin care I tend to stick with Clinique - it was the first I came across that didn't irritate my skin (we go way back) and it seems to work. The Superdefense is a moisturizer with SPF, plus I wear the tinted moisturizer over it. One thing others might try - I use two coats of mascara - the first coat is a lash lengthening one that doesn't thicken, but then the second coat is a thickening mascara. Works for me, but YMascaraMV.
