I'm sitting here, with a mug of coffee, trying to work on this proposal that's due on Tuesday and all I can think about is, "I think they're showing 90210 on TVtropolis right now."
I've been working on this stupid proposal all afternoon.
"Isn't it kind of last minute?" Sister 3 asked.
"What are you talking about? I've got the whole weekend," I told her.
Yeah, well, I won't have the whole weekend if I continue to pop downstairs to watch old re-runs of Golden Girls, Friends and 90210.
Oh, I also caught the last five minutes of MTV's "I'm With Rolling Stone", which was...intriguing. But then again, I've got the attention span of a fruit fly at the moment, so anything's intriguing for five minutes at a time.
I thought that Peter guy from Australia was kinda hot, though.
I digress.
So, anyway, yesterday, I was makeup shopping with a friend at Inglot --- this new makeup boutique that's popping up across Canada.
The salesgirl was telling us all about how they use minerals as opposed to talc and how the under makeup base is supposed to help give the appearance of new skin.
I almost wanted to just hold up a hand to shut her up and say, "You had me at 'new layer of skin'."
So, it was kind of an impulse buy --- the store was really nice, but there's really not much info about the new brand on the web. If you click on the link, you'll find next to nothing about the brand.
Up until now, I've been using CoverFX, which isn't too bad. The creator of the brand used to be a corrective makeup specialist at a Toronto-area hospital, where she helped people with either burns or scars or other skin disorders to learn how to cover up their injuries...I mean, that's the kind of thing that chips away a little at your self-esteem.
I really liked the concept of Lee Graff's brand and that's why I started using it.
But that one line..."new layer of skin". That's all I needed to hear.
The little you can find on message boards about Inglot will tell you that most makeup artists (who've bothered to post, anyway) consider the brand to be a M.A.C. wannabe and generally, not as good.
When I read that, I was like, "Fuck. Me and my stinkin' impulse purchases."
But you know what? I tried on the under makeup base and the pressed powder last night and I thought it was really great. I'm no makeup artist, but I liked the results and I think I'll probably go back and buy the under makeup base again after I run out.
Okay, back to work on the proposal.

I LOVE the under makeup base!!! It really is like a fresh new (line and blemish-free) layer of skin! The powders are silky smooth and the foundation provides the perfect amount of coverage without that heavy "look at me, I'm wearing a mask" look or feeling. My face and my skin give it 2 thumbs up!
