My priorities: slightly flawed

[blamebrampton]

My one goal for today: 
* Finish Fathers.

What I actually did: 
* Bought very nice underthings for half-price at DJs (50% off Simone Perle!)
* Went to four places looking for the perfect under-eye concealer that would mask dark circles without looking like I had little pale grey puffy pillows under each eye instead (failed to find any, damn my non-yellow-toned skin!)
* Purchased a nice Kala tenor ukulele for $100 off! 
* Learned to play a scale and two chords on said ukulele.
* Hatched plans for one-woman Vera Lynn Tribute Show (am semi-serious!)


If I can stay awake for another 120 minutes and type very fast, I might still be able to hit my first priority ... Though it is already 1am ...

Re: under-eye concealers...I swear by the Lift Concealer from Make Up For Ever. They have pink-beige! Not sure if it's available where you are, though.

I'm definitely looking forward to Fathers, too. Glad to know it's almost here. I've loved that series since the beginning!:)

ooh! That sounds good! And I am sure that I have seen them in Sydney somewhere ... one of the malls I never go to, I think. Google will help me! It's so hard to find things with a pink tone, and then they are always designed for young skins, so they tend not to be formulated to stay out of fine lines. But some of us are pink AND middle-aged! ;-)

And I have just sent all of the last act save the very last scene off to my lovely beta. Fingers crossed I can knock that off tomorrow night, at worst, I have Wednesday off work. If I ever say 'sequel' again, please hit me.

Found a supplier only a few miles away and on the bus route! HURRAH!

Good luck! Hopefully they will let you sample some before you buy it. I know how it is to have so many shades make us look as if we're slightly ill. Not godawful, just...how was it you described below...slightly seasick!:)

P.S. I went to a makeup/style event recently and a rep from the Bobbi Brown cosmetic line was saying how their foundation colors came to be created..."because people weren't pink!" (his words).

Note to self: avoid Bobbi Brown foundations.

They're all pretty yellow, and most of their eye colours look best on yellow tones, too. Which is a shame, because they have some nice products.

Chanel is the same, can;t wear any of their foundations. Though their lipsticks are far broader in range and there are some lovely ones for non-yellow skins. They have such lovely pigments, I don't mind paying the silly prices, and they last forever!
