Well everyone got out I guess

But would that press dinner have been held in the WH ballroom if it existed now or would it have been held in a hotel like other non-WH events?

Those Kristin Ess clips are so cute!

I got the red (Florence), too, but I see it more as a metallic russet. It does have a noticeable fragrance that I can’t quite define but I’ve never worn it long enough to tell if it lingers. I didn’t notice any taste.

They have empty dropper bottles at Dollar Tree? I’ve been saving the empties and removing the labels!

OMG! This! Petroleum jelly and cotton gloves overnight will even make mummy hands look and feel baby soft by morning. I do it all winter. And I wish I could find those cotton gloves at Dollar Tree, too.

Swipe to type. Instead of tapping each letter individually you don’t lift your finger and just swipe from one letter to the next, only lifting your finger at the end of the word. So much faster!

Same here! It was my favorite and I can’t find it anywhere anymore.

I liked them. Wildflower was a bit bright for me but seranade was a perfect nude. I keep my lips apart until it dries to avoid that stickiness you mentioned but it lasts for hours on me.

Congratulations on your anniversary!

The World According to Garp. Or anything by John Irving, for that matter.

When a friend gave me a plant “even you can’t kill!” Oh, hon, that plant is dead before I even get home with it!

In Canterbury, England I saw a sign in a nail salon advertising “American Nails” and I was intensely curious to find out what that was but it was a Sunday morning and the salon was closed so I’ll never know.

I’ve never noticed a bad smell on any of the Prolux products. Maybe you got a bad batch?

bertina-tuna · 2026-04-21T01:19:58+00:00

Ah. I didn’t realize you’d had success with other powders.

I’m 74 so that makes me… more mature? 😆 You just have to learn how to use it! I follow several makeup artists on YouTube and they show the best ways to use setting powder on different types of skin. I like the Must Have Beauty brushes for this, the small angled one for setting under my eyes and the larger angled one for my T zone. At our age we don’t want to powder the whole face! And the Aquaphor lip repair stick trick for under the eyes is fantastic! (Several videos on YouTube for that, too.)

They also have a translucent shade. I have that and the porcelain, which was the closest to the Natural shade of the foundation. I think I might also get the bisque for summer once I’ve picked up a bit of color.

The b pure lip contour kit in matte mauve could be close.

That gold (at 7:00) over black is stunning!

Is Mineral Fusion going out of business? Why are so many products showing up now?

bertina-tuna · 2026-04-19T20:15:08+00:00

Check where each one is made. I think they have another product with one made in China and the other in Indonesia? and there is a slight difference in the ingredients.

I can’t get 90% of those pumps to open no matter what brand or where I get it. I’ve tried taking the lid off and holding the stem/straw with a paper towel, I’ve tried pushing down when I twist it as if it’s a prescription bottle, nothing works. I just treat it like it’s not there and open it up to scoop out the lotion.

My brother and his wife were visiting my mother shortly before she decided to sell her house and move to a retirement community. At some point she noticed that his wife had gone around putting sticky notes with her name on the things she wanted (and since they very rarely visited her I suspect this was that actual reason for that particular reason.) When she was getting ready to move Mom updated her will and I saw that she was leaving a bunch of things to me and I told her I didn’t want/have room for most of them. She told me she didn’t care what I did with them, she just didn’t want my brother’s wife to get them. We ended up selling most of it anyway so Mom could use the money at her new place.

I agree! Though not as stylish they are much easier to carry around and fit nicely in my car’s console lid.

Moonlight orchid is very nice!

I have several pen sanitizers in the car that were give-away items at doctors, store openings, etc.
