Sue Devitt Beauty’s Eye Intensifier Pencil is one of the best products I’ve ever received. I’ve never had much luck with eyeliner pencils, but Sue Devitt Beauty’s Eye Intensifier Pencil doesn’t need “priming” and goes on smoothly and easily. With smudging, Sue Devitt Beauty’s Eye Intensifier Pencil in Pointe-Noire is great for recreating the sooty kajal-rimmed eye that I so admire on Indian women.
Now Sue Devitt Beauty has come out with the fine-tipped Defining Eyeliner pencil, which complements the jumbo Eye Intensifier Pencil. Like the Eye Intensifier pencil, the Defining Eyeliner pencil goes on very smoothly and easily. I received the Defining Eyeliner pencil in Hvita, a shiny silver that looks like Christmas tree tinsel. It is great for rimming the lower eyelids and illumining the inner corner of the eye. Sue Devitt Beauty Defining Eyeliner pencil in Hvita would be great applied over black eyeliner and smudged. For holiday parties, wear a simple LBD and complement the look with sparkly earrings and hair accessories.

This is one of the most poignant carols that I know. Â The words are by poet Christina Rosetti, and were set to music by Gustav Holst.
Did I repress grieving when my mother died?
Lately, I’ve thinking and talking about my mother more and more. Â I hardly talked about her after her death this past March.
Mom made my Christmases very special. Â I made sure that I’d be with my parents every Christmas. Â Now it hits me that I have no parents to go home to visit.

Ever since I finished my bottle of MAC Satin Foundation and the MAC salesgirl tried to sell me on a peach-toned foundation (that was years ago), I’ve been on a quest for the perfect foundation: one that feels good on the skin, evens out my complexion, and matches my skin tone.
I went to Sephora to find a new foundation.  I was interested in MUFE’s HD Invisible Cover Foundation for its wide variety of shades and Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation as I thought that a crème foundation would be good for my dry, maturing skin, but the salesgirl sold me on Cover FX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation.

Sephora’s website says that Cover FX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation provides “sheer to medium coverage” and “a natural-looking, satin finish.”  I had to spread it very thin to obtain sheer coverage, and it did not provide a satin finish.  Cover FX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation can double as a concealer: I wonder if the thickness has something to do with Cover FX founder Lee Graff’s background as a corrective MUA .   As I moisturize nightly, I have some sheen on my forehead, and the foundation’s finish did not match the finish of my forehead.
CoverFX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation is rated SPF 15, which suggests that you should apply it fairly thickly. Â Its active sunscreen ingredients are octinoxate, octocrylene, and oxybenzone.
One good thing about Cover FX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation is the wide variety of shades for various skin tones:
The salesgirl selected E10 Warm Ivory for me, which seemed to be a good match for my skin tone.
To quote U2, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

I’m definitely having my late 70s/80s moment.  Elvis Costello tells fans not to buy his $225 set.  He tried to get the recording company reduce the price, but was unsuccessful. He used to be disgusted, but now he’s amused:
‘”Unfortunately, we at http://www.elviscostello.com find ourselves unable to recommend this lovely item to you as the price appears to be either a misprint or a satire,” Costello wrote on his website.’

This isn’t the first time that Elvis Costello has stuck it to the powers that be. Â Thirty years ago, when he performed in St. Louis, he gave a shoutout to the rival radio station of the one that sponsored his concert.
His aim is true.
In 1978, Elvis Costello was part of the Live Stiffs Live tour that also featured Nick Lowe, Larry Wallis, Wreckless Eric, and the late Ian Dury.
