Wash ,'Serenity'
[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.
I have lipsticks that I've stashed for years. So long as they are in vaguely reasonable storage temperature, I've had no problem. If they feel or smell off, I'd ditch them but I use things until they run out or break otherwise
I do the same thing, and have never had a problem.
I'm in the market for a blood red now.
Talk about my forgetting the obvious - Manic Panic Blood Red, Kiss of Death, or Vampire: [link]
AM HOME BACK IN NEW ORLEANS THANK JEBUS.
Also, I re-watched A Fish Called Wanda on the way home and I still love that fucking movie.
Kiss of Death and Vampire Red look like good matches, thanks. Is Manic Panic good quality? The thing I keep forgetting about lipstick is that Vaseline moisturises my lips better. I have to factor in more frequent re-application.
Yeah, I have lippies, blushes and shadows that are YEARS old and worn to the edges. Unless they start to get wonky or cake or smell funky, I use 'em. But those guidelines are just that -- guidelines. Common sense rules!
I have a Lancome eyeliner (wooden cased) pencil that's about 3/4 inch long now. I've had it since...1997. I love it.
Man, in 198...9, I think, I used to work for the Canadian distributor of Lancome, L'Oreal, and a bunch of other cosmetics companies. Just for a summer. They had a company sale where you were allowed to spend $100 CDN on discounted stuff, and good god, I loaded up. I bought for multiple friends and had bags and bags of makeup and product that lasted me for over a decade.
And I didn't know shit.
What a waste.
Is Manic Panic good quality?
Yes, shockingly. They have a good depth of pigment, good coverage, and wear well.
Gggn. I shouldn't have looked at the Manic Panic site. I thought I was over my craving for their over-the-top compact of white pressed powder, but apparently I'm not. Must not hit clicky shopping button!
I'm a bit of a snot. I have to admit I'm kind of judging their makeup by their website, which is really not a causal link.
Oh, their website is terrible. But the lipstick is good. And also available on Amazon and eBay.
I'm sorry about StW not panning out and your brother's love woes, smonster. I hope you can get a good night's sleep tonight.
While I can't add much substantive to the makeup conversation, I was in a Sephora for the first time last week (picking up a nail buffer). It was less perfumy than I expected, but I had no idea what a third of the stuff was.
