In love with yourself, aren't you? I really don't see why. You're okay-looking but nothing special. I'm afraid your teenage glory days are over, honey.
No wonder you have no money to buy a house, you blow it all on clothes and makeup.

OMG, you do NOT look like a man without makeup---your gorgeous! With makeup, you're gorgeous +, but you are wayyyy too pretty to think you look like a man.

I've never considered silvery eyeshadow---actually, I don't really wear any eyeshadow---but this sounds interesting to me. May have to play around a bit.

You look great with and without makeup.

2009-11-19T17:38:38.316-08:00

You look great with and without makeup.

You're gorgeous! Without makeup, too!

2009-11-19T12:13:32.672-08:00

2009-11-19T09:15:11.285-08:00

I also think you look gorgeous without any makeup at all! Always love how your makeup looks, though, too -- it's never heavy and always brings out your very pretty features. You've got great lips and teeth, too -- sigh. A car accident when I was 18 gave me three broken front teeth (since fixed, but still) and a permanently drooping lip on one side. So I am a little fixated on those areas. Thanks for sharing!

Your eyes, from what I can see in the Momversation videos, are always gorgeous. And your eye makeup? Perfection.

As for me, I always feel like A Woman Attempting Eye Makeup. You've inspired me to give the liquid liner a whirl (again). (At my age - ohmygod, 38 - I've tried everything at least once.)

If at first you don't succeed, use some good eye makeup remover and try again. That's my motto.

Love your writing...thanks for creating a blog that is at the top of my Must Reads.

I would love to know what you think of Sephora's Makeup Forever HD foundation. There have been rave reviews but I am concerned that it might clog pores and be heavy. This is certainly my concern about the products that contain silicone. Through the summer I became a huge fan of the light mineral foundations that you buff onto the face with a round brush - they are cheap, quick and easy to apply, and absorb oil and shine without clogging pores. But now that winter is here, this option seems too drying. Please give us your expert opinion!

2009-11-18T11:13:02.192-08:00

Pretty! I'm a fan of the minimalist make-up routine. Eyelashes, cheekbones, out the door.

In theory, I'm an in-store shopper. Sometimes, when I know exactly what I need, I'll order it on-line if I'm completely strapped for time (and feel like the shipping costs are worth it) or I just can't find it out in the world. But Zappos? None for me, thanks.

Love the new fashion spot! Very jealous of you.
Just reviewed the Drooling Closet again - my how Fable has grown (commence tears).
My baby is turning 1 tomorrow (more tears) and I am not having luck finding cute boots for her. Problem: her ankles & calves are still nom, nom chunkalicious and nothing fits. If I go 2 sizes bigger, they are huge on the toes but still tight on ankle! Any suggestions besides Uggs since I don't have an uncle willing to spend that kinda dough???

2009-11-18T10:46:17.040-08:00

I actually really enjoyed your how-to video on applying make-up. We have similar bone structure, so it was very helpful.

Also, you are gorgeous and looking nothing like a man!

New to your blog, found you on dooce.com and enjoying everything so far :o)

2009-11-18T10:16:55.941-08:00

I agree with you I love in store shopping. Also with your nude lip add a bit of clear gloss and it makes it less washed out.

I still think my lips were revolutionized when you...

2009-11-18T09:55:33.458-08:00

I still think my lips were revolutionized when you recommended Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Watermelon. So simple, chic, and cheap.

Also totally with you on the whole shopping on foot instead of online. It's all about the physical hunt. The falling in love with something at first glance, trying it on and walking out of the store invigorated. That being said Target is our kryptonite. What masks itself as a quick essentials pick up inevitably turns into an hour long browse sesh and $50 extra on our receipt. The husband avoids it like the plague.

2009-11-18T09:47:34.977-08:00

I have also tried the torturous eyebrow threading after hearing how wonderful and painless it was. I breakout in horrible rash from waxing and plucking takes so much time! The threading was quite painful and made one eye water to the point of tears rolling down cheek and the lady repeatedly asking if I was okay, embarrassing much? Low and behold threading also causes an unsightly rash that lasts as long as the hair removal does. Back to plucking for me.

2009-11-18T09:37:49.849-08:00

Also, Sarahdooh? You can try lipsticks on at counters! I suggest you do! I totally agree. It's stupid to put lipstick on your hand. It's like buying a perfume without testing it on the bod.

2009-11-18T09:32:37.180-08:00

Hey, Anon!

Will absolutely do a bronzer tutorial. Do you have a two-tone bronzer? I really do recommend you pick one up! Like I said, Benefit makes a great one but you can find two-toned bronzers anywhere.

As for hair, I have no routine at all. Sometimes my hair looks like shit and I wear a hat, put it back? Sometimes it looks good down so I wear it that way. I have no patience with hair. Occasionally I flat-iron but seldom and I wash it twice a week if that.

Ha!

As for San Diego Flea Markets, I have no idea. Will ask around. LA has tons, though, if you're willing to make the trek. My headband came from Melrose Trading post (a flea market Sundays at Fairfax High.) It was $9.

Your perspective on shopping, I couldn't agree...

2009-11-18T08:14:08.294-08:00

Your perspective on shopping, I couldn't agree with any more. I love the act of shopping, especially bargain shopping, even window shopping is great. But, I have not had the pleasure of strolling through a flea market in years. Must do that soon. Have you been to any in the San Diego area? Any good ones you've heard of down here?

Thank you, beautiful lady!

2009-11-18T08:06:05.426-08:00

Love the makeup video from awhile back! Also, did you know you have PERFECT skin? How do you do it, you dog?! I, on the other hand, have horrible skin, with scars and major imperfections all over. Ugh.

2009-11-18T07:37:36.946-08:00

You look totally beautiful even without a drop of makeup on, OMG.

And the "after" picture: with your strong features and chiseled cheekbones, for a second I thought you were Carla Bruni (foolish/rude/evil husband, but still absolutely my ideal of beauty).

2009-11-18T06:19:30.756-08:00

so cute! fable is one stylish baby.
i would love to see some torturous eyebrow threading. i do nothing to my eyebrows (i've been told how lucky i am) and all things that have to do with eyebrow shaping are endlessly fascinating to me.
