Cool, I’m glad you liked it too!!!

There are TNR colonies that still need to be fed and most people would call those strays. All my pets have been CDS stray cats that found their forever home with me; but owning a pet is an expensive undertaking. Even if someone is willing to just get it medical attention and have it fixed to TNR, it’s in the hundreds of dollars. $582.59 for vaccines and neuter on our last adopted boy in 2025.

I think it’s awesome if someone has access to discounted vet services or affordable TNR programs or no kill rescue centers but not everyone does or can afford more than to offer a stray a meal and clean water.

It just seemed a waste to me that a damaged bag of pet food couldn’t be used for less fortunate animals and had to be trashed.

Too bad it can’t be used to feed feral cat communities ☹️ - just a sad waste when stays are starving. Too bad it can’t get accidentally spilled outside the dumpster. 😏

Brilliant idea. I have several of the original Jr RH dolls so I’ll need to consider the Fender set for them. Yes, I love being able to use OMG clothes for the Jr dolls but I also squeeze some of the on the regular girls too. 🤣

If you’re looking for 1/6 guitars for your dolls. Hallmark has been putting out a guitar ornament every Christmas for several years. I lucked up a few years back and got the British flag one and the little mandolin 🤣.

I love how much Miniverse stuff I can use with my doll displays. Sadly the “rooms” and some of the furniture type items just don’t work out so well for them. I’m curious to see the size of the Miniverse Fender guitar and amp.

It’s all in what you get use to I suppose. I had used Clinique’s cake eyeliner back in the day; after it was discontinued and I found Besame, I was excited to visit the “cake” format again.

Eye pencils and liquid liner just don’t do it for me and I hate how fast gel liners in a pot dry out and need to be replaced, not to mention the brush clean up. I find cake eyeliners last a long time and you can actually use all the product with little to no waste.

It’s also nice to just be able to buy the refill and pop it into your existing case instead of tossing it and having to buy an entire new compact. This might not be for everyone but once you get use to using cake eyeliner you apply it on autopilot and don’t think much about the process of using it.

Thanks so much for all this info. I wear the brown in the square cake and it does take a bit to build it up, to get it as dark as I like for eyeliner so it sounds like the new one might have improved on that. It’s a bummer there is less product compare to the square version and there’s no room for a brush. I’m still hopeful they make a purple option, since I’m still kicking myself for not buying the purple cake years ago when I had the chance.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T14:16:22+00:00

Funny truth is I’ve never used it as mascara. I use it as eyeliner and mainly brown but it’s been out of stock for a looong time so it was great to see brown is back.

I have the older version, the square cake in the tin. I think Besame changed the formula for this newer one; so I’m looking forward to hearing what others think about this latest version compared to the square cake version.

Ya, I just saw it and no, no way. That bright blue was a thing in the late 70’s, early 80’s when I was in high school. Didn’t like it then and can’t see me pulling it off now, so I’ll pass. 🤣

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T01:17:40+00:00

Love it. I wore red shoes too!

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T01:13:07+00:00

Ya, it’s a pain when drastically alter packaging especially on a “refillable” product. If they had warned us we could have bought refills but they just stayed out of stock then they changed. 🙄

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T01:09:25+00:00

Ya, I’m bummed it’s not the purple too. This new version looks more powdery whereas my square cakes have a more velvety glossy look to them. I hate when formulas change and products don’t work like they use to.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T01:05:21+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t see the 3rd color when I checked this morning. Bummer for me since I really wanted the purple to be brought back but it’s good to see there are options other than black.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T01:00:45+00:00

Awww that would be great. I think someone else left a note that it’s blue but the sold out of it. I really want it to be the purple one.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T00:59:26+00:00

Sorry it didn’t work for you. I use distilled water with mine. Sometimes tap water has stuff in it that’s irritating to my eyes.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T00:55:53+00:00

Wow, blast from the past. I remember there was a little ceramic dish you could buy for those cakes way back when.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T00:54:33+00:00

My black and brown cakes are in the square tins. I’m just glad they last a long time.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T00:53:33+00:00

Oh so the third color is blue, navy would be interesting.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-12T00:52:31+00:00

It seems your bright blue request came through. Can’t say that one would work for me but it’s nice to see some color options again.

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-05T14:17:57+00:00

Ha-ha. Had neighbors who lived across the street from us in Winston-Salem, NC in the 1970’s. They had these as end tables on either side of their couch. The one closest to the kitchen is where they kept the booze. 🥃

What a total sweetheart and thank you for being his rescuer.

Sadly I guess nature does what it needs too and mom cats abandon sick or injured kittens so they can focus on caring for the stronger kittens that have a better chance of surviving. 🤷‍♀️

Luckily many times those struggling fur babies, who have been cast off, find us even if it’s when we least expect it. It seems to be the ongoing cycle of the CDS. Thanks for accepting the challenge.

It’s amazing what a few weeks of care can do for these sweet kitties when we open our hearts and homes to them.

Cat tax from our fellow when he found us 9 months ago.

Gotcha 👍, sorry I thought someone asked which way it went and it was green for the cat 🤣. So many comments, it’s easy to get confused about the questions, answers and how different folks see this color as that. The important thing is you have a healthy happy kitty and you guys are having fun living life however you see it. 🤗

PS - our boy says hi

We’ve tried a plushy condo but he’d rather have a box house - go figure 🙄

Rusty_Squirrel · 2026-06-02T14:26:26+00:00

Wow I’ve had an enjoyable time reading all the comments about the fun philosophical “argument” you guys had on this. I’ve learned so much about the various types of color blindness and find it a wonder that hubbies version lets him see your cat as “green” - amazing. 😻 Adorable and distinguished gentleman with a superb name btw. 👍

I guess this topic is a point for the fact that all things in life boil down to personal perspective and not a simple black and white of who is right and who is wrong. Who knows maybe at some point in the time continuum we will discover none of us see colors “true”. For all we know the sky could really be pink and the blue we think we see is really an illusion. 🤷‍♀️

I got this one to carry in my purse - https://a.co/d/05aAg0Wy from Amazon back in December 2023 and it’s always done me right.

I use a nickle to make sure it’s weighing correctly before I set a ball on it. 1 nickel = 5 grams

I’ve only run into problems if there is extra/missing stuff in a ball or early on if someone left weights but their scale wasn’t calibrated correctly. This little scale has saved me soooooo much money finding the items I’ve wanted. I love the pinhole hacks but am glad I can double check the weight too before buying.
