I am happy this thread is back! it's basically the only place I post nowadays!
finally going to nordstrom's to use my gift card this week. I think I will go with laura mercier tinted moisturizer because I'd probably get the most use out of it, but I'm a wee bit nervous about what shade to go with because summer is around the corner and I tan very easily.

Totally gonna order that bag Kate got but in different colors. I'm thinking black with a grey or charcoal bow.
In other news @Muse Among Men I got my wet n wild lippies from eBay! Photos to come when I have more time.
My graduation ceremony is tonight but I can't make it home between work and it starting so I am going with a subtle makeup look that should last the day and look all right with a touch up by tonight.
Touch of bronzer with a highlighter in the bag for tonight. Brown eyeliner smudged with dark brown eyeshadow with a bit of Urban Decay Sin on my lid just for a tiny pop. Then mascara.
No lipstick right now but I brought the wet n wild In The Flesh one with me for tonight just to see how it goes!

Grats Viv!
Spring has finally arrived here in Illinois, it was so nice today, 70! So now I can start rocking the button ups with rolled up sleeves and light cardigans/sweaters again. I am excite. I may even do a bit of fashion shopping! Who wants to go shopping with me?
having been a glasses-wearer for most of my life and now having escaped their tyranny through contacts (glasses are great on other people but I don't like how they look on me) I frequently forget to wear sunglasses.
here are my ridiculous 90s throwback sunglasses that are probably a bit silly on me but I like them anyway
lighting makes me look pale as a ghost. and I didn't look in a mirror while applying lipstick so it's wonky.
i picked up some matte top coat yesterdy, but boyfriend says i should wait to change my nail color; it's not quite the light grey i'm picturing, but i am still admiring the Sally Hansen Wet Cement i've got. definitely needs some base or top coat, though -- tipwear and peeling already.

my problem is that i'm often too lazy to put in my contacts and i'm certainly not getting those flip-down shade lenses
i've been looking at these in the layered bamboo/fire mirrored variety

Anyone here have any favorite youtube makeup gurus? I am always interested in finding new ones, the ones I like I can only relate to so far because I'm darker skinned than they. This makes a difference with eyeshadow and lipstick swatches.

I like the sandlewood one (I think Vivienne likes it more than me) and while I like the smell of the rose one, it has a very thin consistency in the tub which I am not a fan of. And the almond is probably my least favourite smell. But it's fun to use to mix it up.
I wore a skirt today and my legs are so freaking pale, y'all. The reflection of the sunlight on them is a hazard to passing motorists.
Part of me wants to fake bake, and the rest of me knows I'll only keep it up for a couple of weeks 'cause it's a pain in the ass, and then I'll have to deal with it wearing off in patches. :?

truth is beauty????
unless haircuts are fashion???
i have to go think about things
When I get home I hope I get to go to the cheapo malls further inland. Cheap makeup. Hounding for:
Waterliner-savvy eyeliner
replace mascara (old by now)
smudgy black pencil eyeliner
replace broken eyeshadow
maybe try to find eyeshadows for smokey eye looks? I haven't been able to succeed so far :?
Also I'm feeling that old compulsion to buy a boat-load of ties, help.

Tinted moisturizer gives heaps of leeway for shade matching so I think you'll be fine.
and thanks for the advice on LM
