1. Coloring With colored pencils, and using said pencils to draw false lashes, questionable eyeshadow and winged liner on cartoon horses. 😊 2. Retinol I have a pimple on my chin. It’s one of those *painful* ones with roots like an old oak tree, but instead of doing what I usually do with a pimple like this one — bombarding it with benzoyl peroxide — this time I showered it in Kate Somerville’s +Retinol Vita C Power Serum Firming + Brightening Treatment instead. Soooo I may have overdone it a little, though, because the peeling around the area was intense...

I haven’t…at least if we’re talking about makeup (hair is a different story, but we’ll get to that in a second). The reason this is on my mind today is because I recently read an article in which the author’s ex-boyfriend’s affinity for natural-looking/nude makeup, and his dislike for certain nail polish colors, determined what she wore for years, and it was only after she broke up with him that she realized she could wear whatever she wanted.

The man-made pyrotechnics mix together with the natural lights in this night sky image. The moon is a particularly bright ribbon of light in the top left half of the image. Above the moon is the celestial equator and the constellation Orion, according to Claro.

If I could go to Mars, but I could only bring one tube of mascara with me… LOL! It’s a variation on the “deserted island” theme. Anyway, would I bring new Benefit BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara?
