More to come, hopefully clearer and less crappy.

FOTD: Rose Plum (1/10/12)
Some of the Makeup Heroes are discussing doing 10-pans, or variations thereof. I’m still considering it – I don’t know if I have the willpower, to be honest, to not buy any new makeup until I’ve hit pan on 10 items. I’m still mulling it over – but I figured in the meantime, I *could* at least make an effort to use more of (if not all of) my stash. The Morgana Cryptoria bin was on top, so that’s what I’ve started with. (I’ve got most of my stash sorted by brand these days; that particular bin also holds a few Evil Shades lippies and shadows.)

ack
i’m an asshole. what i meant to say was, i’ve got everything but two packages packed up and ready to mail out tomorrow. (unless the campus post office balks at mailing nail polish. but it’s properly marked, so, we’ll see.) the two others i still need to get addresses for (i’ll contact you, no worries), and they will go out bright and early saturday morning, if that’s cool with y’all. which it will have to be, because i am tired as a poopoo. good night.
Freebies giveaway (literally, a *give*away – no contest needed)
(Well, except a race to be first to claim what you want. But you know.)
Uh, so here’s the update: It’s 9:46pm, I’ve got everything packed up, sanitized all the lippies, and I am FUCKING KNACKERED. I WAS planning on running out to the post office tonight and mailing these puppies out – but 1-I’m knackered, and 2-I suspect that the overnight drop-off hatch will be locked by now. I don’t really know what it’s deal is, only that it’s sporadically open, even though supposedly you can put mail in it all night. But with my luck, and as tired as I am, it will definitely be locked. So I will mail packages tomorrow, which is what I’d planned on doing originally anyway.
I *think* I’ve kept the list up-to-date, marking off stuff as it gets claimed – but I’m not 100% sure. So, give me a day or two to make sure it’s caught up – or don’t wait, and take your chances. 
(I’ve got a meet-up tomorrow night – no idea how late it will run, or whether I’ll have time tomorrow night to update the list, but I should be able to get around to it over the weekend at the latest.)
Right. I’m going to go faceplant into my pillows. Whew! And yay for decluttering (even a small bit of destashing counts), and yay for unused makeups going out to new, loving homes. And now, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
FOTD: Wendy’s Sienna (1/9/12)
Wendy sent me some goodies a bit back, including Revlon Satin eyeshadow in Shimmering Sienna – which is just fucking lovely. I am particularly beset with this color paired with my eyecolor – and I wouldn’t have bought Shimmering Sienna on my own, so, fucking fantastic job, Wendy! Thanks so much, bb! Sorry about the creasing – but I took the pictures after, like, eight hours of wear, so….I think it’s allowed to crease at that point. (And I was too tired to touch it up before taking pics, sowwy!)

MUH: Boyfriend tag (husband, in this case)
Convinced Greg to do my makeup. He is right-handed, so I got to sit on the left, and discovered after filming that profile is decidedly not a flattering angle for me – at least not when I’m sitting on the couch and slouching over. But fuck it, it’s reality: I have that oddly hooked nose (Graeco-Roman? I believe I read somewhere, on a treatise about noses, of all things, that it was one or the other, but I can’t remember which now. And whatever “noble line” my nose is supposed to have, I’m not really a fan of its shape. It gets the job done, though, so no real complaints.); I have a wattle; and I have that weird top vertebra hump from years and years of slouching and poor posture (and probably also genetics, since my mom and her mom had it, too – but poor posture ain’t helping). BUT FUCK IT. It is who I am (as well as that magnificent rack, if I do say so myself, and I do), and I got Greg to put makeup on me, and it’s funny. So, for your viewing enjoyment:
Pictures and stuff below the cut. Continue reading
So, yeah, my life is pretty hilarious
This just happened over IM:
grogthecaveman: http://www.amazon.com/Trademark-Colossal-25-Inch-Machete-Sheath/dp/B001SATV3I
Kathy: shit
and it’s cheap enough to be a monthly little-something
-.-
do you want it?
grogthecaveman: umm… i just ordered one
Kathy: you’ll have to —
bwahahhaahhahahaha
Apparently, he got it for yard-cleaning. Bushwhacking. I made him promise not to wind up too hard and take his own legs out on the follow-through. Crazy.
(This year I decided I’d get him a “little something” every month, instead of just on “regular” gift-giving occasions. Just a little something to spoil my hubbin – like the first thing was a Samsung a777, because his phone’s screen died, and he’d been using a friend’s old Blackberry and it was dumb, so, now he has a phone that works and isn’t dumb, so yay. Except that while looking for that phone, I discovered that Amazon has HELLA DISCOUNTED blingy rings, y’all. FUCKITY FUCK. So OF COURSE I had to buy myself a ridiculous expensive ring with a cushion-cut green topaz and like…I don’t even know. SHINIES. It has SHINIES, okay? And it was marked down from like $149 to $25. How am I supposed to resist that? Please explain this to me. So, yeah, my wishlist on Amazon for rings/jewelry is about to get INSANE. On the other hand, for a ring that, as far as I know, only has semi-precious stuff on it – how is it that expensive in the first place? Like, how is that normal retail price? It’s hella cute, though. But not cuter than the shiny Greg gave me, which is 1-my birthstone and 2-princess cut, which is awesome and DUH because I am a princess. No, I’m not too old to act like this and be obsessed with shinies; you shut up.

For fucking real?
Okay, it was in my spam filter, so maybe a bot, but the username/ip address/blahdeblah looks more legit than usual, so maybe a for-real person leaving a for-real comment:
“what’s your facebook profile?”
For fucking real? Damn. If you’re too dumb to find it based on all the info I’ve dropped about myself here (not to mention my GODDAMN URL), well….I’m not going to help you.
In other news, still loving all the MAXGentleman spams I’m getting. Sure would loooooove to enlarge my dick. If only I could find a product…. Someone really needs to invent something, corner that niche….
FOTD: Shamelessly stolen from Lily (1/4/12)
When we went up to New York for Thanksgiving, at Thanksgiving dinner, I was particularly taken with Lily’s makeup – so I shamelessly hit her up for the details: Milani Runway Eyes in Lily White, and Milani Easyliner for Eyes Glitter in Precious Silver. She was wearing it with a bright true red lipstick, and it looked fantastic on her, and fantastic with the shadow and liner – but I *finally* found Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb (which I’ve been lemming for at least a year by now) over the weekend, so I wore it instead of a redder red.
And, yeah, way overdue for a bang trim. And even more overdue for an eyebrow wax. Ho hum, oh well.

Treat yourself!
So here’s the deal: I don’t like selling shit as a general rule – I feel weird about it, and usually feel better giving shit away. (Or at least working out a trade/barter of some sort.) So, since the blog sale shit is still sitting around, and really I just want it out of *my* house and into a house where it’ll be loved and used – fuck “prices.” If there’s anything you want, just let me know, and I’ll pack it in a flat-rate mailer (which, to be honest, unless it’s exorbitant to mail, I’ll probs pay for myself, too – although I may ask you to scale back and/or chip in if I get to the post office and they’re like, “$60 to mail, please” and I’m like O.O), and ship it out. So, go have a gander – here’s the list. I’m too lazy to edit it and take the prices off, so, just ignore them and lemme know what you want, if anything.
Edited to add: I ought to mention, I’ll start shipping out stuff *next* Friday (the 13th), so just bear that in mind. I’m not planning on ending it – or at least not any time soon. So if it’s not struck-through, and you want it, pipe up! xoxo & Happy New Year (and new-to-you makeup)! k
