Just got back from the movies, where I saw the trailer (for the second time). It looks like a formula piece. The trailer was followed by one for a bro movie with the same uncomplicated premise. Pass.

But it is for those who have no belly.

A friend is super skinny and she always puts together really cool things from Goodwill. So much admire/envy her style. Me, I wear black. It’s my uniform.

I’m of the opinion (and coloring) that there are not enough mustard-yellow accessories in the world. I could live forever without pastels tho.

Ditto, abracadaniel. I work closely with women on an emotional level and have noticed that, with a lot of people, the problem is being honest with themselves because they a) don’t know how or b) confuse desire/disinterest with rightness (justification).

I know. My vampy pair of pointy-toe D’Orsay flats stretched beyond all after I took about 30 steps across a dewy lawn; now they won’t stay on my feet. I swear, they’re 10s now.

I wear black pretty much all the time, so that accessories like a pair of leopard-printed, calf-hair driving mocs will be just right.

I hate how purse makers cheap out on thin straps for big totes. My purses always have two things: four little feet on the bottom and a substantial/proportional double handle.

That is so smart. Seasonal makeup storage. Thank you.

Meh to They’re Real. I got a sample size out of a Benefits vending machine (!)(I know!) in the Denver airport (or maybe my stopover airport?). I wasn’t used to the brush and kept poking the tender waterline of my upper lid with those spiky plastic bristles and leaving a clump of product there. Then, watery eyes and…

I love day-after mascara eyes. But I can’t bring myself to green-light getting it all over the pillowcase and into my pores.

My fallback to Sephora is Ulta. This is my birthday month so they gave me a Perversion sample size. I so much love it. I think this is my fifth post about Perversion on Millihelen in the last three days.

Triple-like your badass article.

I’ve changed from always having nightmare purse (age?). Now on Sunday night I dump everything out and re-organize. I love starting the week being able to find shit in there.

So true! I hate buying the full-size tube. The only time the big tube was better than the sample was Chanel mascara. But I hoard mascara samples. Always fresh, always good, easy to toss when it’s time.

I don’t use brushes (though I own a bunch and they stand in a modernist ceramic container on the vanity). I use my fingers, and those I wash before starting/after finishing. True, I don’t look like a YouTube makeup maven but I feel like brushes just waste foundation. I can’t wear eyeshadow any more because crepe eyes.

Take them in the shower with your bad self.

Where the hell do they hide the expiry date?

I never get tired of watching that PooPourri commercial. Thanks.

That mercy should be “merch.”
