It’s the regular lotion (which, it turns out, is fine to use on the face). This packaging: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showre… - those reviews are actually pretty accurate given my experience!

Boscia are great: I have combo skin with cheeks that can get painfully dry and an oil slick of a T zone. (I thought this stuff stopped in your 40s. It doesn’t.) Their Tsubaki (camelia) oil gel cleanser is wonderful: I come out feeling clean but not stripped, my pores are nice and clear, and it smells just lovely.

I’m so sorry; that sounds absolutely terrible.

Hillary: about stupid pregnancy food restrictions. Have you read Expecting Better by Emily Oster? You’ll feel a lot more sane if you do.

I am unable to see the costumes. I am distracted by Chris Evans, who is unaccountably still very handsome dressed in that jersey pyjama set.

Everybody do your best!

Hang on. Am I just being British here, or did you say VAGISOFT? Does that sound as...suggestive to people in the USA as it does to my tender limey ears?

All about the space heater under the desk. (It also means the lady at the desk opposite mine *loves* me in the winter.)
