Well, I spent most of the week planning a pretty despondent first-time SNS post about how I’m feeling increasingly depressed, unsure of my relationship with my partner, insecure about my choice of city/career, worried about my health. All of that is still kind of true, I guess. But right now I’m curled up on the sofa…

New purchases this week: Got two Furless loose eyeshadows, Immoral (lavender) and Shady (peachy pink). I really love their shimmer and silkiness, but the colour payoff is not what I expected- it’s pretty, but considering I had to pay for shipping to the UK it’s a little unexceptional. Going to try Shady as a…

Seconded on the Stila liner! I’ve got very oily lids and it’s the only thing that doesn’t smudge or fade.

For powder foundation, blush, and setting powder I use BareMinerals- the original foundation, the blush in ‘Beauty’ and the original Mineral Veil. I have very grumpy skin and it’s the only company that routinely doesn’t break me out. Their liquid foundation is really nice and light if you’re after lighter coverage,…

Lusting after Sweet Peach and trying to justify buying it. For many, many years I used a TooFaced palette that I got in a super generous VIB reward as my only eyeshadow palette, because nothing could match the pigmentation and butteriness.

Ew no those are the worst legs. I like a man I can snap in half.

If I wanted to inconvenience myself for the sake of not having pee all over the place, though, I’d get a puppy, not a boyfriend.

Also some men pee sitting down!! It is apparently healthier and better for emptying your bladder (my partner has sadly has a lot of medical issues so I know a lot about bladders!)

You clicked on the fucking article, dude.

I don’t know which aspects of Republican policy you do or don’t agree with, so I’m not implicating you specifically in this. But yeah, the current GOP is extremely misogynist, racist, homophobic, and otherwise COMPLETELY living in the 1950s. We’ll damn well call them names, given that they don’t consider us…

Meh. I’ll wait til I see the full collection but I don’t like branded stuff, and nothing here looks that practical? The video was weird for me too- the mix of arty/pretentious, earnest life story, and sexy imagery was really oddly put together.

Seaweed actually has TONS of iron in it, like a lot a lot. The kid sounds terrifying, though!

I love how she’s objectively *not* the star of her own music video. Everyone else gets to kick ass while she...sits in a car...and inexplicably puts a fur coat on?

I think it’s because our generation feels such an unfairness and such a disconnect between what we’re criticised for and the reality we face. Apparently we’re all spoiled, flighty, and immature- and sure, some of that is valid! But we also feel despair at the job market and the future, and all but the wealthiest have…

Wow I bet you can really identify with the average millenial and our problems, in that case.

For some men, the bragging is the whole point. Women are trophies to be collected in order to raise your esteem in the eyes of other men, not actual human beings worthy of love or respect.

Hey, it’s really cool to see Jez authors positively engaging commenters like this. You’ve gained a fan :-) Kiefer...hasn’t.

These look beautiful, but I’m so pale and these look quite dark. Are they really sheer? (Like, I’m very pale and neutral-toned, so I suspect a lot of these would look orange on me).

Aw that sounds miserably painful. Yeah, I’m pretty much...the opposite of constipation, which is weird too. Good luck, hopefully we’ll both find the solutions we need!

This is probably my favourite headline of 2016 thus far. Kudos, Ellie!
