I think you and Metalia were the only ones to enthusiastically recommend something, but since Loreal is undoubtedly far cheaper than Dior, I might have to try your suggestion first. <br /><br />Mainly I'm just looking for something that isn't sticky or clumpy and doesn't leave those black flecks on the skin around my eyes. Know what I mean?Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-66005616741869301202007-01-25T11:35:00.000-06:002007-01-25T11:35:00.000-06:00I use Loreal Original Volumous mascara and I love ...I use Loreal Original Volumous mascara and I love it. I've actually tried other brands and thrown out full tubes to go back to the Loreal. But I think it depends on what your looking for in a mascara. It does give me raccoon eyes but only after a shower, not after swimming so I think it's good in that area.Stacey Brandowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249471313790079608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-42032457542806828002007-01-25T10:51:00.000-06:002007-01-25T10:51:00.000-06:00OK, I hate New Blogger.

Grr.<br /><br />Anyway, I was going to say that what's funny about this butter spray recommendation is that a friend of mine was actually looking for that exact product before a camping trip a couple summers ago, because she swears it is the best way to butter corn-on-the-cob. We couldn't find it, so we figured they weren't making it anymore. Guess we were wrong! I shall keep this in mind for future corn-on-the-cob occasions.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-64450968956190769342007-01-25T10:44:00.000-06:002007-01-25T10:44:00.000-06:00I will second -r-'s endorsement of the butter spra...I will second -r-'s endorsement of the butter spray.

As...Other Girl--You are just full of useful tips... As for the Bare Escentuals brush--you didn't think the thick, squat little kabuki brush was flat and hard enough? Hmm. Thanks for the tip on the Neutrogena stuff. I'm sure it's about half the price, so perhaps I will try that next.<br /><br />Luck o' the Irish--Really? With no eye makeup remover? I'm guessing you're not using waterproof mascara. For some reason, I think I need waterproof. You know, because I burst into tears all the time or something...<br /><br />Metalia--That's actually the third Neutrogena lip gloss I've bought. I have the shiny lip balm stuff and the stuff with the wand, too. I actually think I like those other two better, but the stuff you recommended is good, too!<br /><br /><br />OK, every one of these comments-back-to-comments was makeup related. If I actually DO have more than five male readers, they are never going to come back after this.

Marzetti caramel dip for apples, and it was fairly disgusting. It managed to taste both metallic and medicinal at the same time. <br /><br />I've used Bare Escentuals for a while, and I really like it, but to get good coverage, you need a flatter, harder brush than the one that comes in the starter kit. I also tried the new Neutrogena mineral foundation and I like that one too; it has slightly better coverage than BE (and comes with a decent brush), but it's not as light-reflective. It's pretty decent for the price, though.The Other Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829845523633726024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-22966428778839368402007-01-24T11:22:00.000-06:002007-01-24T11:22:00.000-06:00Nabb--Yeah, I've tried Great Lash, too, and I agre...Nabb--Yeah, I've tried Great Lash, too, and I agree; it's not worth its reputation. <br /><br />R--The ridiculous applause breaks are actually why I sort of wanted to watch it this time. I was curious if the applause would be any less frequent and overwhelming now that the Democrats are in control.<br /><br />GG--I don't know! But Blogger seems to be temperamental this morning, so I suspect it ate your comment just for fun. I do apologize.<br /><br />Paisley--I am not generally a fan of cherry-flavored things, but maybe the citrus would balance it out for me? Oh, and I second your recommendation for Skinny Cows. I haven't had those in a while, but they definitely are tasty.<br /><br />L Sass--I think one of my biggest problems with mascara-buying is that I buy it so infrequently (since I generally wear it just on the weekends and on dates) that I forget what I've tried and liked/not liked. That is, if I've ever really even "liked" one. I suspect that I have not.<br /><br />Liz--I think my expectations were too high because of the way everyone raved about Bare Escentuals. I generally hate foundation, but powder doesn't really have enough coverage. This stuff is light and easily-blendable like a powder but offers more coverage like a foundation. So I do like that. I was expecting magic results, though, I guess. I was promised that my hideous pores would disappear and yet, they are still visible. So that is disappointing, I suppose. As far as foundations go, though, I think it probably <i>is</i> the best that I have tried.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-51778563593259327802007-01-24T10:16:00.000-06:002007-01-24T10:16:00.000-06:00I purposely didn't watch the speech, because I jus...I purposely didn't watch the speech, because I just bought a new tv and can't afford to buy another after throwing something through it. ;)<br /><br />I intend to try the soup/pierogie combo at my next opportunity. Sounds wonderful.<br /><br />I use Avon Extreme Volume mascara. My mother is an Avon lady. I don't have to pay for it, which makes it extra great in my book. Last time she got me their Incredible Lengths instead, as it was on sale, and I most definitely do NOT recommend that.<br /><br />I keep looking at the Bare Escentuals stuff--is it as good as everyone says?lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-76852893372618087892007-01-24T09:47:00.000-06:002007-01-24T09:47:00.000-06:00Oh, I feel you on the gourd-soup.

At my last job, I ate so much butternut squash soup for lunch that my coworkers began abbreviating it "BNSS"<br /><br />As for mascara, I have a hard time finding them, too. I like a good brown mascara, not black, because I'm blonde. I usually end up with Great Lash, but it's only "eh."

Everyone recommends this shit, and I think it's nothing but goopy and clumpy and I can't figure out why it's so popular or who's buying it, because no one I know does.<br /><br />2) Whatever mascara it is that claims it won't give you raccoon eyes. This claim is true, but it also means that it's not coming off when you actually want it to, either. <br /><br />So, um...go forth and don't be clumpy! No really, let me know what you get, because I'm an incredibly disloyal mascara buyer and love to try different brands.<br /><br />I'm going to have to try that makeup remover! Neutrogena's isn't quite doing it for me.

My husband doesn't.<br /><br />But speaking of things that spray, can I tell you without sounding like a complete flake that one week this morning while getting ready for work I accidentally sprayed hairspray on a pulse point, as though it were perfume?
