Test-tube babies.
I've test-driven these babies and a dozen more but here are the strongest contenders:
Chanel Ombre D'Eau bi-phase liquid eyeshadow ($42)- earns brownie points for its frosted glass bottle, round-the-clock staying power and intense shine; however it comes off as overtly metallic for daytime use and wrinkles around the eye creases.
DiorShow EyeColor creme eyeshadow pen ($35)- home team advantage because I own the perfume, lipstick and lip gloss already; I am obsessive about collecting stuff from the same series and season because they look so good on my shelf(not to mention the price tag is well, fair, given the brand); however under strong lighting the hue is barely noticeable and it lacks sufficient contrast with the rest of my makeup (in other words, yes, there is such a thing as too pink, especially when the shade of pastel on my brow bone does not match the shade of coral on my lips) .
Biotherm LightReflect gel for the lips, cheeks and eyes ($28)- one of Biotherm's best-kepts secrets and the underdog, but shade #20 Glitter Gold, has excellent sparkle, relative ease of application and is very lasting; however for such a runt-sized tube (0.23 oz) it is marginally over budget if you divide nett cost per application, but otherwise a steal on the whole. I mean, who really gives a flying rat's ass about nett cost per application? Think! I can use it... everywhere!
And my new motto in life is: Nobody Rains On My Parade aka Without Shame. Is that not how I got a free Dior eye makeover just this evening?
My sister's been acting out. She either ignores us, talks back to my parents (which makes me seethe because I think it is horribly rude and ungrateful), blogs about peeling people's flesh off with a photo of what I suspect is my nail clipper attached, or huddles under her covers crying.
Hey? Grrrrow up. The world keeps turning.
Don't take your frustration out on your folks. And if you do have a problem with them, confront them instead of posting about it at blogspot.com. That is the coward's way out. Discuss if yo' dare.
Sheesh this is absurd!
