long day

OK, it’s freezing out, too cold to ride my bike, I work nonstop these days, I’m out of peanut butter, and I have two (TWO!) gigantic blemishes on my chin, which are just astonishing in their size and projected lifespan.* I have to tell you, it is depressing.

*I know they are normal, pimples, common to the species, and I am still as lovable as before, which is I think moderately lovable, and my various skills are unimpaired, but few things put me in a worse mood. And they are not beautiful. I am still here and there beautiful, now and then beautiful, but it is clearly in spite of them.

In honor of these things, and so many more, late Monday post!

Coat. Scarf. Etc. MAC Rebel lipstick, though it’s coming off more pink here than it is in person, really it is more raspberry. I like.

I’m going to watch Downton Abbey now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my friends, and family (I guess!), and lipstick, and big scarves, and white v-neck tees, and perfume, and light rain, and several shades of green, and pearls, and parsnips, and toast, and waffles. And peanut butter. And popcorn. And gold things.

Currently loving NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Terre de Feu, a dark but still vibrant burgundy with a hint of rust that keeps it in the warm rather than plummy camp of dark reds. Just bright enough for the color to shine through rather than coming across as only ‘really dark’. Beautiful. Wears nicely on the lips as well, I don’t find the formula at all drying. NARS does mattes so well.

I really wanted Volga, but it is currently sold out everyplace.
