Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Hee. No. We have the long-standing game of Here Have A Thing. I gave Jilli the black NYX a while back. Makeup isn't a new discussion. When a product doesn't work for one person, it moves on to find a better match. A lot of makeup isnt bad, its just trying to get the wrong audience. Though owls would rock though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I did get tested for C. Diff and it was negative.

That is a huge relief. C. diff can persist for years.

Sometimes antibiotics can just fuck you up, and since your GI system is sensitive, then antibiotics could have just wiped out all the good flora and the bad ones settled in for a jamboree.

And sometimes your GI tract doesn't respond to one probiotic but loves another. So see how you do after a few weeks on a new one.

And it was the last tube of black NYX that actually worked, dammit. I think I need to go to Sephora before Steamcon next weekend.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Another lover of Blinc here, I also seem to ooze makeup remover from my tear ducts so even waterproof mascara usually starts smearing around on me after a few hours. I've bought it at multiple brick and mortar Sephoras and also online once when I found a great deal on Amazon.

And i gave in, went home on lunch break and changed out the contact lense. Good choice. So much better now. I'm better at my job when I'm not cranky at the world.

I also have Blinc (got it at Sephora), but have issues with not being able to get it all off at night and ending up looking like a crazy person the next morning, or after the shower.

I have a bad eyeliner habit. Which is to say, somehow I keep buying new eyeliner, and different eyeliner, and other colors of eyeliner. I own zero blushes. Two eyeshadows. Two foundations (Bare Escentuals powder and Makeup Forever liquid). Three lipsticks. A bunch of lipglosses, though I keep losing them. Three mascaras (blinc, a tarte that's supposed to be a stain rather than mascara, per se, and an Almay one for contacts), and about 7820394 eyeliners.

It would be so great if we did. We need a Floo network so I can come visit.
Wasn't Joe building us transporters or some such??

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

Blinc is my go to mascara. I did go into Sephora and ask for the most OTT waterproof thing they had for "special" occasions (to pair with my sticky stick high shine lip gloss, of course), but I'd never wear that during the day.

I rarely wear mascara. My eyelashes are "straight as a stick" as one makeup artist friend said, and I'm afraid of eyelash curlers. Make Up Forever used to have a great liquid liner that was like a felt tipped pen. And of course they discontinued it but then I Rouen air an Decay's Zero, my OTE

I give up. Too tired to focus. There is too much to do. But boss has told me a million times, can't work too many hours. I'm going home. Must turn off brain. Need to take zombie pills or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

See, I swear to you, I keep going into Sephoras and asking, and they never know what I mean!

I've been finding the last few MAC LiquidLast liners at the mysterious cosmetics outlets, but I think I'm out of luck now.

I need to figure out a mascara, and I think I need to buy the weird tiny heated eyelash curler too. I have serious eyelashes, but dead straight, so I also have application issues.

I also need to learn how to line the top of my eye.
