Blair Bow, $12.60 (was $18) Around here we believe jokes and lies are the best and should be enjoyed every day of the year, not just April 1st. But here’s a true statement: we’ve been looking for a bow like this all winter. See? Not as fun.
High Neck Tee, $39.95 (was $68) I’m normally opposed to both regular t-shirts and expensive t-shirts, but man, this one is pretty slick. Imagine it under this guy:
Saunter Cardigan, some amount less than $44.99 with code “NOJOKE,” (was $98)
Acrylic Tumbler, $2.95 (was $6) April means we’re that much closer to cocktails on the porch. These come in purple and orange, too, so get a variety pack.
Unlined Demi Bra, $34.99 (was $48.50) Found the unlined bras. They’re hanging out in the clearance section 🙁
Luster Matte Long Wearing Lip Color Duo, $20 (was $30) Let’s talk about our favorite reds and pinks. My best pink is here and my best red has been dead a long, long time.
Lightweight Belted Truster, $90 (was $160) 1. Everyone I saw during my 24-hour trip to NYC this week was wearing one of these. 2. What the fuck is a “truster?”
MEANDHER Valentina Penny Loafers, $133.50 (were $445) It is so hard not to want something that used to be almost five hundred dollars but is now almost one hundred dollars, even if that is still too much money for some dang penny loafers.
Sonya Renee Jewelry “B” Pendant Necklace, $59 (was $119) The B can stand for anything you’d like, B.
Murder House, $2,750,000 This place has sat empty for 50 years ever since the owner killed his wife with a ball-peen hammer and then poisoned himself to death but not before attempting to off his teenage daughter. Let’s buy it!
Hey, I credit you with my best coral/reddish lipstick: the infamous Lancome “Corset,” on my lips right this minute.
That Anthro sale, tho. I am already flush with t-shirts (although that one is amazing and maybe I do need yet another heathered grey tee?), but I need some very serious, no-jokes advice: should I get these vegan leather moto pants? http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shops…
They’re an extra 25% off with the code xtraxtra. (That might apply to the t-shirt, too)
YES, those pants looks awesome.
Get them. You’ll look amazing.
I am unable to comment as I cannot see past the model’s shoes.
BOLEYN NECKLACE YESSSSS
Totally my first thought, too! Want.
My favorite red is Nars’ Dragon Girl.
M.A.C. Russian Red.
Nars Manhunt!
For matte: Nars Velvet Matte Pencil in Red Square, for regular “traditional” lipstick, Dior Trafalgar. I’ve been on a nude lip kick for a while, though, and I think it’s time for another red phase.
My favs reds are also Nars Dragon Girl BUT also Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Lost.
NARS cruella is really great for me, a super pale person with red hair.
Revlon Really Red, which I initially got as a dupe for Russian Red but is awesome on its own merits.
Life’s Entropy pKa Lip Theory is my go-to. It’s more of a plum red, but damn does that stuff last.
russian red looks good on everyone, it’s magic.
I ordered a bunch of small kitchen appliances on Amazon yesterday (immersion blender, toaster and electric kettle) which has temporarily satisfied my acquisitive side.
Also, I got my surprise-sale Kate Spade bag, which means I am currently as happy as it is possible for a person to be:
That bag is beautiful and I hope it brings you great joy in this life!!
I’M SO JEALOUS that I didn’t hear about the surprise sale in time/also really glad I didn’t because even 75% off was money I didn’t have for a purse this month.
OH WOW CONGRATULATIONS that bag is super cute and I’m jealous.
I cannot post go to the website from my work computer, but I believe JimmyJane is still rocking a 50% off sale right now.
That t-shirt’s actually really cute though.
I mean I would say it is trenchcoat+duster, but it’s short. Dusters are long. Are they just loath to sell trenches, is it an English thing?
I think the attached cape-y thingy is meant to be the duster part? Those seem to be more common on dusters than on trenchcoats.
It’s short even for a trenchcoat, though.
yeah trench+duster was my best guess, too. that or something to do with it being bought a lot by people with trust funds?
So if someone wanted to buy me a jewel encrusted B necklace I would not say no. Just saying. It is only my letter and all.
I bought the black ankles boots from the last bargain bin and am, in fact, wearing them right now. Would recommend! I feel much more stylish than my standard work self – thanks, Jane!
2 things: I got the romper from a couple weeks ago and not only does it fit, it is adorable and comfortable and I love it so thank you. Plus it turns out that having to disrobe to pee has a salubrious effect on my cocktail consumption, so that drawback is actually a bonus! #teamromper
Also, more importantly, does everyone know that bite beauty lab will custom make lip stick for you and can blend you a lost/discontinued color?
I bought it too! Do your buttcheeks hang out half an inch and does it liberate you? I have found I can just pull the crotch to the side rather than disrobing, at least for #1.
I have also found my titties hanging out sometimes because they are small so it’s roomy on top. It’s practical and good.
My butt is covered unless I, you know, move. Which means, for the good of the world, I need to wear it with tights, so no simply moving the crotch aside. But it is actually long enough and doesn’t ride up and there is space for my boobs and it is a miracle.
My butt is OUT. It gets vitamin D, it gets a spring breeze, rain, etc. It’s out and about. It’s fat and has stuff to do, people to see, cellulite to air.
Bite is the SHIT. I have never in my life worn lipstick, but I got a color made for myself with them and now wear it all the time. I feel like a powerful CEO fashion witch when I do.
Also, I hate to giggle at anything related to a murder, but I’m not mature enough to deal with the fact that “ball-peen hammer” is an actual term.
I have one and it makes me giggle every time I have to hammer something. Who came up with that name??
Even better: “peen” is actually the term for whatever’s on the non-hammery side of the hammer head!
That used to be me, but now I just shudder. When I first moved into Mr. Ada’s apartment and was fixing up his ex-room mate’s bedroom into my book room:
Me: Do you have a hammer?
Mr. Ada: No… um… yes… but….
Me: I just need to take this nail out of the wall.
Mr. Ada: Well, it’s a ball peen hammer, so it won’t work, but you probably shouldn’t use it anyway….
Me: I’m quite capable of wielding a hammer.
Mr. Ada: –proceeds to tell a story about how his room mate used one peen in lieu of another during sextimes–
Me: And you didn’t throw it out?
Mr. Ada: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-FIN-
Trusters are dusters for the trust fund crowd.
Trench Coat + Duster = Truster
So not the trust fund crowd but I would love to have this!
Milani lipsticks are such a great formula for me. The color payoff is good, they don’t horribly dry out my lips, and they stay on okay (not the best, but okay). My fave is Teddy Bare, an almost-plum light brown: https://www.cvs.com/shop/beauty/makeup/lips/milan…
Also, until tomorrow at CVS they’re on sale for $2.99 AND you get $3 extra care bucks back if you spend $10. I’m heading over after work to get some corals because it’s spring and also I look great in coral lip stuff. Has anyone tried their lip oil yet? I’m curious but I’ve heard mixed reviews
I have a couple of the lip oils and I feel like they don’t really do much, but they are nice to put on in bed at night after the rest of my face care routine. Feels glam & self-carey.
Yeah, that sounds really nice! I saw a few people say that it actually dried out their lips, but it sounds like that hasn’t happened to you, so that’s comforting.
I’m not too concerned about the murder, but I think that house is probably too expensive for the Toast commune, especially since we’d have to renovate the kitchen and bathrooms in addition to subdividing the oversized bedrooms.
Yes, of course commune suitability is the criterion by which I judge every enormous house listing that is posted on the Toast.
“by all appearances it has been uninhabited since the 1960s… the home was abruptly abandoned, with food, home goods, and pieces of furniture left behind.”
If there’s been food left in that kitchen since 1960 you are dang right we’re going to have to reno the kitchen. Also probably call an exterminator 🙁
However– free furniture!
Not much free furniture, from the pictures it looks like they pulled out everything that wasn’t bolted down, presumably when getting the house ready to put on the market.
There are still some bar stools, though.
I am very curious about the “still-wrapped Christmas presents from decades past” but I bet you’d be hella haunted if you stole Christmas presents from a murder victim.
I would totes live in that murder house and invite y’all. It’s either that or my dream witch house in the woods of New England.
Some friends of mine live in a murder house! They love it. Their many years of happy memories > a really really bad thing that happened there once.
I’m curious how much clearance there is roof-wise, because of all the elevated, flower bedecked thrones we’ll have to fit in there.
I recently bought a similar pair of loafers, except mine are a beautiful shiny gunmetal gray all over: https://www.lyst.com/shoes/franco-sarto-avendia-f…
Thank you, Clear the Rack Sale Gods.
may have gasped audibly when I saw these. oh oh just. no. why.
did you just happen upon them or do you have to haunt the sale racks until they go 90% off?
On the topic of lipsticks: I’m usually a reds person myself, but I do have a one true pink. I was in the Air Force, I was in my early twenties, I got my tax return and I wanted to feel fancy and mature. So I went to Neiman Marcus after my shift ended (possibly still in uniform though I cringe now) and bought myself an expensive tube of lipstick. Chanel Extatique. That was probably around six years ago now and I still have it and damn rules about makeup expiring. It was forty dollars well spent. I feel like a fancy lady every time I pull it out of my Old Navy jacket.
Lipstick doesn’t expire, especially not if you spent a lot of money on it and don’t use it much. Do they expect me to buy a new tube of mac russian red every year? NOPE. I scrape the mold off cheese, I’m not gonna have a problem scraping it off lipstick.
F’rreals, the only stuff I throw out regularly is mascara; I will occasionally chuck a liquid something if it’s obviously turned or a pencil/gel if it’s too dry to bring back from the dead, but otherwise, nope!
Lipstick… gets… moldy??
I think she meant cheese gets moldy. Surely there’s nothing in lipstick that can mold. Don’t anyone tell me otherwise.
Bacteria from your mouth can transfer to your lipstick and grow on it. Bacteria can grow on basically all of your makeup and make it nasty. You can buy stuff to make it and your brushes clean; I’m unsure if this stuff is just rubbing alcohol in a fancy bottle.
And I got the name wrong. That’s what I get for not having it on me at the time. It’s Chanel Flamboyante. Still. Fancy Lady Lipstick.
Has anyone clicked through to the house? Who puts a toilet right beside the bathtub? Unless you recline opposite to the toilet, maybe? But then again, our toilet faces the tub but our bathroom is sooooper small, so.
THAT BRA…swoon.
Could it be related to elderly plumbing maybe? Like, water lines/hookups in 1925 or something?
Literally every house and apartment I’ve ever lived in has had that setup.
… where else would it go? Wait, one of my parents’ bathrooms is big enough to have it on the opposite wall. But I think pretty much every other bathroom I’ve ever been in has had the toilet right next to the tub.
Yeah, that way all the plumbing is along one wall: sink, toilet, tub/shower. So you would recline in the tub looking towards the toilet.
Ugh, I cannot find the perfect nude-pink. I am a pale and pink person by nature so actual pinks are sadly out.
If anyone is looking for a super cheap night mask I found some at Forever21 yesterday! 2 applications per package, were marked $3.99, rang up $0.99!! No idea if that’s universal but $3.99 for 2 is still pretty great. I used one last night and it was very fun to go to sleep all slimy and wake up all moisturized.
I’ve recently discovered Neutrogena’s Moisture Smooth line (something like that – the chubby lip pencils) that has a couple of good nude shades! They go on more “nude” than the pictures would suggest. The product itself is pretty good – buildable coverage, bit of dewy finish, decent staying power (especially if you apply in layers with time to dry in between), not too drying (definitely helps to exfoliate and/or put a solid balm underneath if your lips tend to get dry and/or flakey), and fun shades.
Clinique’s Whole Lotta Honey is PERFECT. It’s a little more brown than pink, but it’s pretty much my natural lip color in lipstick form. You can layer other colors on top and it is a fantastic base.
If you can get your hands on Nyx, they have a pretty large range of pale neutral/nude shades.
I love Nyx! But it’s so hard to find an un-pillaged display. Plus the 2 nude-pinks I’ve bough have been drastically different than shown on the tube. Surely someone has swatched them…
Are you on Twitter? Do you follow Anne Brown aka @avbeeeee? (IDK if she posts under the same handle here.) She is your gal for lipstick clues as she has an extensive collection. I, too, am a pale & pinky person and she put me onto NYX High Voltage in Flutter Kiss. I wear it almost daily.
I know Nyx was already suggested, but try e.l.f.’s Satin Lipstick in Touch of Nude? You can build up the color, which I like. http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/satin-lipstick?dept…
I think my coloring is similar to yours and the Touch of Pink is kind of coral-y pink on me, not very nude-pink, but you can try it and see. They’re $5 each!
My holy grail nude pink is tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Exposed. It makes my lips look like I’m not wearing a lipstick but just that I have naturally perfect, romance novel lips. For a matte lipstick, it’s really moisturising too.
Please share your favorite neutral reds (i.e., not too orange or pink) for olive skinned people. Mine were both discontinued. 🙁
We cross posted!! See below.
Nars velvet matte lip pencil in Cruella! I’m pale olive and most reds turn either brown or orange the minute I put them on, but this is perfect. And it works either as a direct application or over lip balm (which dilutes it to about a shade and a half darker than my actual lips). So good.
NARS Olivia is also really lovely on all skintones! I know this because I went to apply it while hanging out with a bunch of dudes a couple weeks ago, and they all decided they wanted some, too. It’s basically the Sisterhood of the Traveling Lipstick, it looked great on every skin tone from super, super dark to deathly pale! I myself am pale but yellowish, and it really works with that.
I feel like there’s a strict divide between people who would live in a house where a murder was committed and people who who wouldn’t. I don’t think it’s a matter of right/wrong or smart/stupid, it’s just a personal thing that I find fascinating. If the price was right and I was in the market for a house, and that house fit all my other needs, I’d be fine with it. I mean, I wouldn’t aim to live in a murder house on purpose (I guess that’s a third type of person), but it wouldn’t bother me on an existential level.
Where do other Toasties fall on this crucial issue?
I couldn’t do it! Growing up I had a friend who lived in a house with floors still stained by murder-blood from a hundred years before, and I would go to visit her and the stain with fascination, but I wouldn’t want to see it out of the corner of my eye while watching Netflix.
Well damn, no way am I living in a house with bloodstained floors! That’s what the power sander is for.
If I don’t see it, I’m not bothered, but visible evidence is a NOPE.
Wow, that is a hell of a childhood home!
Definitely not.
Also (and this is terrible), but last summer a woman in my neighborhood was murdered in her apartment, and almost my first thought was, “They are NEVER going to be able to find someone to rent that apartment.”
I am firmly anti-murder house. I don’t even wanna live next to a cemetery, for chrissakes!
Do not move to Rhode Island. There are little cemeteries and grave plots everywhere. I think it was a no established church thing. Instead of a set church burial ground, you just put your dead wherever. My middle school bestie had a great one in her backyard. We’d go and say hi to them at sleepovers.
This is good advice! I currently live in Salem, MA, so I’m already around about as many old graveyards as I can stand. It’s not that I’m afraid of ghosts or anything, I just don’t particularly enjoy being reminded of my impending mortality.
Do not come over to my place then. There is a skull in every room. Discussing our impending mortality is a family pastime among my people, found especially suitable for holiday meals.
My people, too, Partner’s people, less so; I have to zip it sometimes.
This is very true
Around the Mayflower era, people were buried in unmarked graves on their property. Fun things you learn while researching family history!
My goal is to be buried on private property so I can freak out the future.
Yes. I just found a buried-on-private-property plot in Cambridge, MA and it made me super intrigued.
Though I really want a Viking funeral complete with setting a boat on fire…
If they bury me and a boat under a massive barrow Viking style I think I might be cool too. But as long as it’s not in a cemetery. The whole point is to not be shut away somewhere death specific. You will be reminded of me as you go about your daily activities whether you want to or not. As I am now so you must be. Prepare for death and follow me.
I want to be taxidermied with a judgemental look on my face so my descendants can move me around to whoever currently deserves to have a cranky dead lady critiquing their life choices from beyond the grave.
Like a really crabby Jeremy Bentham!
I recently saw a lovely English movie called “How we spent our holidays” or something like that which featured this type of funeral and it was great. Highly recommended.
I’d do it. I’ve lived in older houses for most of my life and who knows what’s happened in most of them? People die in houses. It’s what they do.
Which leads into a funny sideline (funny peculiar, not funny humorous) about new construction houses and death. Lived in a new development for a while when I was a teen and the guy who was building the house across the street actually fell to his death while inspecting the progress. NO ONE would buy that house afterwards. The guy who had a share in the development ended up living in it himself down the road and I don’t think he or his family were ever particularly troubled by the fact that a man died on their living room subfloor. But the neighborhood kids had this weird fascination with the house. I think it may have been in part because death today is something that is more removed? It takes place in hospitals, not in houses, and then specialized people handle the body and it remains at a distance the whole time.
For me, dying a natural death or an accidental death in a house is one thing. But in the case of this particular murder house, where the murder was a horrifically gruesome incidence of domestic violence? Nah, I couldn’t do that. I get so worked up over domestic violence anyway, I don’t think there’s any way I could knowingly live in a house where a woman was murdered so brutally because of it.
I agree that I wouldn’t aim to purposely find a murder house, but if one happened to come up that was perfect, I’d have no problem living there.
And if it is haunted and it turns out that I just so happen to be a ghost whisperer, then so be it.
My best friend’s parents vacation house (that they’re going to move into full time once her youngest sibling graduates from high school) was on the market for a low low price because the previous owner murdered his wife in a domestic violence incident. Her parents don’t like to talk about it (obviously) but when they bought it she told me that the actual murder happened not in the house but on the grass outside. But like, it happened outside because he chased his wife out of the house onto the grass. I couldn’t live there, it would make me too sad. I don’t want to say it depends on the circumstances of the murder, but these circumstances would especially make me not want to live there.
This is even sillier, but I think it would depend on the specific murder and how closely it played to either Evil Possessed House horror tropes or my own personal irrational fears. Was there a long lead-up where the murdered person told their friends they thought the house was haunted, and also the murderer was never caught? NOPE. Were they murdered by those home invaders wearing burlap sack masks from The Strangers? HELL NOPE. Were they just, you know, regular murdered? Maybe.
I don’t know – I think I would do it, so long as the place got a very thorough deep cleaning/reno before I moved in. My opinion might be warped by spending so many years in an area with a truly bonkers real estate market – I can’t fathom just letting a perfectly good house go to waste.
My sentiments exactly. I will take my real estate discounts where I can get them.
I wouldn’t live in it AS IS, but maybe if it was a total HGTV home renovation project and I had a bunch of y’all come in with sage to burn, I could deal? Maybe?
Then again, as a kid my family stayed a night (during a roadtrip vacation, i think?) with some friends in their old Victorian house, and even though I had no evidence or even rumors thereto, I spend the entire night staring up at the ceiling, convinced and terrified that someone had died in there at some point.
I was raised by my grandmother and aunts because my mom was always sick or working. They were basically a post yuppie version of the aunts from practical magic. So after washing my place down with sea salt, lavender (Honestly I’d probably use DR Bronner’s lavender) and possibly florida water even though it leaves a weird smell, and leaving crystals in the windows, I’d live in the American Horror Story Murder House, and the ghosts can bring it.
Would not seek out, but would live in, a murder house.
I’m with you. I’m not squeamish at all, don’t believe in ghosts, etc. Plus, if you think about it, there are terrible things happening in lots of houses and apartments, all around us, every day. We just don’t usually know about it. Are the vibes worse because the bad thing that happened was publicized after the fact? I don’t know…
My next door neighbour was murdered when I was about 11 and it really disturbed me for a long time – although actually once it was found to have been his partner who did it, that was much less scary than it having been a random lunatic who might come back. Still freaky that I knew both the murderer and their victim, I don’t think I’d be thrilled to live in a murder house.
The house next door sold with no trouble though, as far as I remember.
Can confirm. It is the freakiest feeling. Nothing in my life to date has been as bonechillingly bizarre as knowing both sides of a murder-suicide. (They were friends of mine. It is one of my two set in stone Things I Do Not Speak Of.)
I’d live in a murder house if everything else about it was right for me. Shoot, I grew up in a haunted 1880s farmhouse. I ain’t scared of no ghosts.
I am okay with it in the same way, it’s just a house.
I once lived in a cool old rent-controlled building that NO ONE ever moved out of intentionally (because cool and rent controlled). I eventually got kicked out for violating the “no pets” clause, but the old man across the hall died in his apartment and wasn’t found until the hallway started to stink. A couple doors over there was a guy who got kicked out for being a hoarder (he’d been warned before) and they had to bring in a hazmat team to clean out his apartment. Both of those apartments got fully renovated and are gorgeous now, I would 100% move into either of them if not for the no-pets thing still being in effect.
I feel like I’ve seen a decent number of death-related houses on the market, some at significant markdowns, and I wouldn’t mind one depending on the death circumstances. Man attacks wife with a gun? Fine. Guest goes for the knife block? Okay, I guess. But if the murder was a break-in or drive-by, that feels a little like you’re tempting fate.
I lived in an attempted murder/suicide house. We didn’t know it until after we bought the house and moved in, but the neighbor lady told me the guy was some kind of addict or something, and tried to shoot his wife, and ended up shooting himself in the room that became my bedroom. I never told my husband or kids because I didn’t want them to freak out, but several people reported strange things happening in the house, such as doors closing by themselves, etc. My daughter at age 8 or so was lying in bed reading and felt someone touch the side of her face and ran out screaming. I (half-jokingly) decided our ghost’s name was George, and when the door slamming stuff started, I just would say out loud for him to knock it off. Never in front of my family, though, because they’d think I was nuts. I will admit that the whole thing may have all been in my imagination, but it still makes for a great story about a kinda spooky experience.
If a man got murdered by a woman in it, I think that would be fine with me, not vice versa. Cause you know, MISANDRY and also I like non-gender-role-conforming ladies. Also male ghosts are less scary than female, because I don’t think male ghosts can channel the same amount of post-death rage. (full disclosure I do not believe in ghosts)
Ooh I love red lipstick! My favorites are sephora cream lip stain #1; and besame cosmetics American Beauty (like the rose). Also a big fan of MAC Russian Red. These are all on the blue-er side of red, since I have pale olive skin.
Nars Vesuvio!
(and also Revlon Standout)
I thought that was the house from Lost Highway until I looked it up and saw that no, there is actually more than house with side-stairs to the front that will haunt my dreams.
I could make my own murder house for a lot less money.
Even more gruesome than the murder–that’s actually a good price for a house that size in LA. There are places on the next street from me that are small, 1950s ranch houses, maybe 2-3 bedrooms, 2 baths, small lot, going for a million. And I’m not in a particularly fancy part of town.
Especially in Los Feliz! Were I anything like able to purchase a house, I’d be tempted to make like Cordelia Chase and just accept any ghosts present as eccentric roommates.
I have that cardigan in black and it’s worth it.
i still mourn my favorite lipstick, MAC Rage:
http://dtpmhvbsmffsz.cloudfront.net/posts/2015/06…
IN MEMORIAM, YOU DONE RIGHT BY ME ALL ALONG
it had little flecks of gold in it, but it wasn’t at all orange-y, and it was perfect, perfect, perfect. i’ve never since found a red that worked quite as well for me. i’ll try some of the blue-reds above for olive skin, but i am having a hard time tamping down my skepticism.
Only buying the murder house if we can put in purple drapes.
Any advice, Toasties? I bought a pair of skinny black jeans at a Banana Republic store a couple months ago, on clearance ($40!). I should’ve bought two pairs, because these jeans fit so well and make my legs look FANTASTIC.
I have the SKU and would love to find another pair online… any recommended sites for this kind of hunt?
Ebay is good for this! Just find the style name and search for that.
T-shirts: that one is super cute but both too short and too high necked for someone with big boobs and a tummy such as myself. Ideas for where to look? My summer wardrobe is in desperate need of refreshing. I would like something closer to tunic length, I think? and not too clingy, as I am pretty apple-shaped (skinny legs but weight over my abs). In my winter clothes I like an empire waist or a draped/shawl/cowl collar. Is there such a thing for summer? Bonus if the sleeves don’t bunch up in my armpits.
I’m plus-sized so I get a lot of these kinds of shirts from Avenue. J Crew does good basics, often with reasonable sleeves and a good drape from the bust as opposed to a cling.
They are not cheap but you might look at LuLaRoe tops (it’s a “home-based business” type thing so you might have to find a “consultant” near you). They have 2-3 more tunic-like styles if memory serves.
Oh I know like 5 LLR consultants, that’s not a problem 😉 I’ve been ignoring them because I am not a leggings person but I haven’t looked at their tops.
THANK GOD, Bargain Bin isn’t dead!
My favorite pink is Stila ‘Bella’ – shocking pink with blue undertones and a nice matte finish. I am a lunch lady in a middle school cafeteria (really) and I’ve been complimented by seventh grade girls on my lip color. It’s THAT GOOD.
I went into Whistles last Saturday and the toddler kindly fell asleep in her pushchair which meant
I actually got to try these on and they actually look as good on me as they do on the model which is MARVELLOUS:
http://www.whistles.com/women/sale/trousers/sadie…
I am a pale with olive skin so need a very slight brown undertone to my lipsticks to work. Last time I was in the States I found my very first Sephora (woah!) and bought two of the Nars Marjella which is a super lovely chubby pencil deal, looks like it is going to be more of a raisin but looks like just a fantastic red when its on
Someone help me find my lipstick. A red that is brown. Not a bright red, not a brick red. A medium red that instead of having a pink or plum cast is brown-ish. Red, but brown red. Thank you.
Nars cruella velvet matte lip pencil isn’t really brown, but it’s a neutral muted red, not bright or pink or plummy. It’s one of my favorites
I like the Nars Majella which once I put it on looks like a great red but has the brown undertones. ALSO the Maybelline Superstay in Cherry is very good.

Mac So Chaud is my best red ever. And I’m too late to the Bargain Bin for anyone to care. But I had to say it.
Like a really crabby Jeremy Bentham!
This doesn’t have anything to do with the Bargain Bin selections but I was in a Von Maur for the first time ever yesterday and WOW. I just wanted to sit in one of their armchairs (provided, presumably, for spouses who do not enjoy shopping and would rather sit and read the paper) and listen to the piano player all afternoon as I gaze upon their aesthetically pleasing array of very expensive shoes.
I call it Von Maurvelous!

It was trying to lure people in like the sapient pearwood luggage (discworld) did.
I have the same sink as in photo #28 on that real estate listing. The one with the chrome legs. I think I want to buy that house just so I can keep the sink in case anything happens to mine.
