Sometimes it is best not to take makeup hype at face value, literally. Having read several articles and multiple reviews online of the lash-growing serum GrandeLash, I got a deluxe sample to see what

Well you may have been well suited for tbone.  But he does cheap out on food so if a coupon accompanying date to Burger King sounds up your alley, at least you know of a good alternative if things don

I know! All it took was throwing money at the problem. I'd have done it a while ago if I had known that's all it took.

Excellent! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner -- my workload has been :wacko: recently and I am also working on a personal project that is sucking up all of my precious VJ time! :lol: 

 

I was going to recommend this cream: https://www.amazon.com/ACWELL-Balancing-Intensive-Anti-Wrinkle-Anti-aging/dp/B09B3CNL42 I have not used it myself, but when I was poking around I saw a bunch of solid reviews from beauty editors on its effectiveness for dark circles. 

 

If you are thinking about something drastic (lol) like tinted moisturizer with SPF for days you want a tiny bit of coverage just to even things out, I love the NARS Pure Radiant Skin with SPF30+. https://www.narscosmetics.com/USA/pure-radiant-tinted-moisturizer-spf-30/999NACPRTM001.html Use the color matching tool to find the right shade, but it's so light and buildable that if your first guess is wrong but close, you probably won't notice it. So gentle as well for sensitive skin.

Where did the post about finding pretty girls go?

 

Anyway I was in Sephora yesterday, the one in Colorado Springs and just so no one else makes the same mistake, a lady at the door helped me and was very keen I knew her name.

 

However when you check out they ask you if anyone helped you and that is why they want you to know their name.

 

Not something they do in Home Depot. My next stop.

 

I have not felt so out of place in a shop for a very long time.

On one of Mrs. T-B.'s earlier visits back to Ecu, she left before I did, and I was to follow.  Before I left, she called and said, "Can you go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy me... a ponytail?  [hurt tone] Mine got damaged."

 

I entered SBS and stood uncertainly in the entrance, feeling very much out of place.  The salesgirl asked how she could help, and I said, with bewilderment, "Uh, can you please direct me to the Ponytail Department?"  She pointed me to a pegboard on the wall.  Fortunately, Mrs. T-B. had given me the precise name and stock number of the desired ponytail, or I'd have remained lost.  I made the purchase, exited, and determined that I had a mild case of PTSD.  I will never voluntarily enter a place like that by myself again.
