Also! How do you sharpen your eyeliner pencils?

With cheap sharpeners bought at the dollar store, usually.

My go-to mascara for this year has been Make Up Forever Smokey Lash, which gives me the lush drag queen lashes, but lasts through hysterical crying. That, and either MAC LiquidLast liner or NYX Studio liquid liner. NOTE: those two liquid liners are not for the inexperienced. If you've never been good at applying liquid liner, do not try those. However, I love 'em.

Oh, and from way back, I use coconut oil and a hot washcloth to remove my makeup.

Sephora has a cheep sharpener that I love.

Home from my belt test. Four hours of fun. I am so gassed. I've been chugging water, ate a Clif bar, chugged a Gatorade and I'm still cramping. Bleh. But I have my green belt now (after this is another level of green, 3 levels of brown, then black).

Yay, congrats!

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

Congrats, Suzi!

Huh, I just realized that when the drip pan under one of my stove burners burst into flame the other day (it was like having a gas stove again! Except not) maybe I should have pulled out the actual fire extinguisher rather than the baking soda. Oh, well, fire was in fact extinguished.

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

I just get my lashes dyed once a month and leave it at that. I've never had a mascara, even waterproof ones, that didn't end up under my eyes. I'll have to try blinc before my next fancy do.

Speaking of baking soda, does anyone know where you can buy it in bulk (aside from CostCo or Sams Club, since I'm a single apartment dweller who doesn't buy much in bulk and doesn't have memberships)? I go through so much of it, what with cleaning and all. Those little boxes from the grocery store don't cut it.

We are finally back home (airline troubles - my daughter didn't miss us at all!). I can't answer specific questions about the show until after it airs, but it was a positive experience. I only wish we were on for a happy reason.

AC's eyes are very blue, and they are like laser beams when they are pointed at you. He had a good handshake, a really nice makeup person (she worked on me), and obviously loves animals.

Sparky, glad you are home and I hope AC's show helps you get Sass back.

I hope AC's show helps you get Sass back.

That's the only reason we said yes, because we hope it will. We're running out of ideas, and she's still out there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Calli, Amazon? Or Target?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Calli, try Lowe's or Home Depot or a hardware store.
