'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
All I want is a not full size but still an actual messenger style bag.If you get a line on one, I'd love to hear about it. I'd like my next purse to be similar to that. (Or maybe saddlebag style, if I can find one that'll hold both my iPad and my wallet, with a cross-body strap.)
I found one at TJ Maxx that was perfect except for the $100+ price tag. I wish now I had just bought it because I really loved it and would have been happy with it. I just couldn't justify the price and then when I went back to see if it was on clearance it was gone.
I keep finding things that are either the structure or style I want but not the size or the size but not the structure or style. They were in style or at least kind of in style and now they aren't. The satchel style thing is really big right now and the only ones of those I've found that I'd be willing to buy are by Zac Posen or Michael Kors, which have been even more expensive.
Yeah, I'd be looking for something under $30. Maybe the Posen and Kors style purses will have a trickle down effect on styles.
BB cream is a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, and it has more skin benefits. CC cream is color-correcting and good if you want to even out skin tone if you tend to be red or ruddy. It's not so good at evening out yellow undertones.
If you tend to sweat a lot, make sure you look for something that has mattifying abilities, or use a loose powder to set the tinted moisturizer/BB/CC cream. If you use a sponge or brush to apply it, it will also help counteract the sweat.
(Yeah, I don't think that makeup junkie tag is EVER going to close.)
Bubble wrap also works very well as an insulator. And you can apply it just by spritzing water on the window and sticking the bubble wrap to it.
askye, look at zappos for the messenger style bags. Also check Target and Kohls online. Overstock.com has a lot right now too. Is this kind of what you're looking for? [link]

I have to admit that I've wondered what BB/CC creams are for a while now. Yay knowledge!
Unrelatedly, I have hit my limit for the night of caretaking. (Not actual taking care of a sick person, but instead the frustrating "caretaking" of walking someone through the steps of something that isn't difficult, like, the insurance rejected your doctor's higher prescription amount of ritalin? Well, did they get the form faxed from the doctor? Maybe you could CALL THEM and ask. Well, if they got it, you could ask them what the next step is to appeal. WHY DO I HAVE TO SPELL ALL THIS OUT FOR YOU.) Both my dad and Tim are hitting me with stuff and I feel like I have to be the grown-up for them (gee, Dad, if you aren't eating and have no appetite and it's been going on for months, CALL YOUR FUCKING DOCTOR THIS IS NOT COMPLICATED).
I have no more grown-up-ness left to give tonight. Sheesh.
Ugh Steph, I hate it when I feel all grown-upped out.
Wow, Maria, thanks for the explanation. So now I have a question. I've been a big fan of the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for its ability to cover over my rosacea. If I tried one of the more alphabetic ones, I assume I'd need a CC cream? Is that right? Any brand recs?
Glad to be of service, Tep. And I would have regressed into toddler-hood by that point, with a huge case of the don't wanna's.
Burrell, dry, oily, or combination skin? I'm combination, skewing to the oily side. I love the LM tinted moisturizer; it's my weekend go-to. I'm almost exclusively using CC creams now. I can use LORAC's year round, and it's usually the first one I reach for. I also really like Clinique's Moisture Surge CC cream. It's a three-season one for me. I use Benefit's The Big Easy in the summer because of its mattifying and oil absorption properties. My favorite BB cream is Diorskin Nude. It's a bit fuller coverage and it feels amazing on my skin. Even though they're supposed to moisturize the skin, I find I need to use a separate moisturizer to ensure an even application. I also follow it up with a loose setting powder. I use Makeup Forever's HD micro finishing powder for everything. It distributes light very well, smoothing out imperfections for very little work.
I had to put small nails in to hang them and I don't know if you can do that at your place, but I've also used duct tape to keep some in place.
Duct tape really is awesomely good for everything. :Well except for ducts. All the HVAC experts say to *never* use duct tape to seal ducts. But for anything but that it is great stuff.
