boring.

almost every day, i wear the same eye look. just liner and a brown shadow similar to my skintone so nude, basically. or a gold shadow and a brown shadow in my crease. that sounds gross. in my crease. which crease? you guys all know which crease. but still.

i also have very oily eyelids. so my shadows always crease. it didn't bother me for a while because i would just blend it out until it faded and kind of not care. sloppy i know.

i've been demoing three things as primers lately. there are primers made primarily (heh) for the face, some for the lips, some for the eyes. these three things i used on the eyes mostly, but i used the gel on my face a little.

two out of three are not actually primers. but they do work as primers: milk of magnesia, monistat anti chafing gel and the regular elf eyelid primer. i don't care if anyone judges me for the monistat, because it's not like it's made of vaginas, it's just an anti chafing gel, no miconazole.

the milk of magnesia isn't my favorite for a lid primer, because i've heard that it's too basic, but i love it as an antiperspirant. yesterday and today were hot and it was perfect. and today. it has no scent, though. you can get it almost anywhere, even at the dollar store, so i'd say prices range from a 1 to 5 bucks.

the chafing gel was alright. it has a really nice feel to it. under my makeup it was like aaaaah yes. it costs between 7 to 8 bucks. it works great for it's intended usage because i'm part of the big thighs club.

the elf eyelid primer is GRRRRRREAT for a dollar. crazy. i think it's the kaolin clay but mine is still on. my shadow might have faded a little, and one eye looks better than the other because of my shitty application, but for a dollar you really can't do too much better.

Discontinuation information from Rimmel (COTY)

Funny title. Anyway, I wrote Rimmel about some of the CVS clearance products, and as I expected...

Thank you for asking about Rimmel Stay Glossy 6 Hour Lipgloss in Black Diva and Rimmel The MAX Volume Flash Mascara in Black. We're so sorry to have to tell you that these products have been discontinued and we understand how frustrating this can be for you. Unfortunately, there are no current plans to reintroduce these products and all warehouse inventory has been depleted. 
In addition, our Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel French White Nail Tip Liner, Wild Orchid, Posh Pink and Rimmel Glam'Eyes HD Shadow in English Oak are all in the process of being phased out and will be discontinued on September 1st, 2013 
However, our Rimmel The MAX Volume Flash Bold Curves Mascara in Black, Rimmel Stay Glossy 6 Hour Lipgloss in Immortal Charm and Fuchsia Fever are all currently still available for purchase, which you can locate at authorized retailers that include most major CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Sears, ULTA and Target stores.
We would like to inform you, the inventory of each retailer fluctuates, as the availably of products is at the stores discretion. 
Our decision to stop making a product is based on market trends. While we would like to be able to keep everyone's favorites, it's just not possible.

We hope you will continue to select and enjoy Coty products.
I'm going to pick up my Black Diva soon--it's a shame because black is such a unique color for a gloss. I don't forsee another D/S brand producing one anytime soon.

is there anybody out there?

AH. I haven't made a post in a while. I just sort of fell off--it's discouraging feeling like I'm basically talking into the abyss. I know you have to build up to having an established blog and readers, but it's like, why produce content if you don't have an audience? But you have to produce content to gain an audience. You see the problem here.

What I'm thinking will be next is me talking about prom makeup, then my (fingers crossed) next hair cut. I desperately want to buzz off the sides and back of my hair. I know I haven't made many posts on this blog yet, but I don't even think I could make many posts about hair since I currently despise styling mine. I want to get on my grind about that when I do cut my hair, because it'll breath some life into it.

I've also been on the hunt for a deep conditioner and a "perfect" detangler, so there is that. Anyway, see you guys soon hopefully with some content and not just filler lol.
