“In politics, it’s still true that unless men’s attire are out of the normal — wrinkled, stained, or downright unusual — their clothing isn’t generally subject to critique. Chintan Desai, who is running for Congress in Arkansas, summed it up well when he composed to me: ‘I have never, not once, been asked about or had my wardrobe commented on while on the campaign trail.’

“The catch for women is that even when they do show up dressed professionally, they’re still privy to scrutiny. Oscar de la Renta famously criticized Michelle Obama’s cardigan when she satisfied with Queen Elizabeth II, in spite of the truth that her attire was completely ‘in code.’”

The eight new shades of MAC Powder Kiss Lipsticks, $19 each
Ain’t no party like a lip flake party ’cause a lip flake party don’t stop!

Whoa, Nelly! So I tried the new MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick colors today. They join the 16 shades that are already in the permanent line, and despite the crossing of lots of fingers and toes that my lip flakes wouldn’t crash this swatch soiree, alas…they did.

ADVERTISEMENT

Lip flakes —> party crashers!

It’s entirely my fault, to be fair, because I haven’t been drinking enough water, and whenever that happens, I can pretty much kiss (ha ha) any chance of smooth lip swatches g’bye.

The MAC Powder Kisses, which are a relatively new formula in the MAC fam, feel lighter than air. The Powder Kisses themselves were added to the permanent line in the fall of 2018, and if your lips are in best shape (as in no flakes), they’re kind of amaze-balls. They’re incredibly comfy and ever-so-slightly moisturizing, and it’s easy to forget I’m wearing them.

And the velvet matte finish? Gorgeous! — a la hottie 1940’s pin-up girl.

From this new batch of colors, I’d steer clear of the pinks (Reverence and sexy but Sweet), because they’re patchy ideal out of the gate, and I end up having to do a lot of patting and layering and babying to get them to look smooth…

Instead, choose one of brighter or deeper colors, which are less likely to clear up into fine lines or draw attention to any flakes. I like Sultry step (the bright rosy brown); Werk, Werk, Werk (the amazing toned red); and velvet Punch (a bright, amazing fuchsia) the best as they’re the most pigmented of the bunch.

One layer, and I’m good.

Which one do you like best?
Yellow-toned pink MAC Sexy, but Sweet
MAC Ripened, a grayish lavender

MAC P for Potent, a mid-toned purple

MAC velvet Punch, a bright, cool-toned fuchsia

MAC Sultry Move, a bright rosy brown
Cool red MAC Werk, Werk, Werk
MAC stay Curious, a muted pinky red
MAC Reverence, a soft, yellow pink
The Powder Kiss Lipsticks are $19 each, last about two hours on my lips, and taste and smell like classic MAC vanilla.

When your appeal decisions are motivated by insects damaging you at night…
This may look like your standard-issue “Oh, there’s a two-for-one body splash sale at Victoria’s Secret, so lemme go hook that up” kind of haul.

Totally not.

ADVERTISEMENT

Instead of being motivated by a good deal (which is my normal motivation for spur-of-the-moment appeal buys), this purchase was brought on by tiny monsters.

Specifically, flying insects.

Specifically, insects that buzz around your house and sink their proboscis into your unsuspecting flesh in the middle of the night. I’ve been getting devoured by what I think are mosquitoes…

THANK GOD. and I say that because for a while there I thought they might be bed bugs. but now I’m pretty sure they’re mosquitoes.

I think it’s because the contractors who replaced our furnace, water heater and AC left the front door open the whole day they were here. Consequently, a gaggle of mosquitoes came into my house, and they’ve been biting me at night.

I’ve got bites around my ankles, on my feet (Fun fact: Mosquitoes love the scent of feet.), on my back, my tummy, on the backs of my shoulders… I’ve been very itchy, and it hasn’t been fun.

A few days ago, I started using a real-deal mosquito repellent consisting of picaridin at night, and it keeps them away for 14 hours. It’s helped a ton — no new bites! — but in the process of researching how to make yourself less appealing/more disgusting to the little monsters, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of information about two Victoria’s secret scents that allegedly repel bugs.

People talk about this stuff as if it’s manna from heaven as far as keeping bugs away, and fisherman and deep-sea researchers go on and on about it. It’s Victoria’s secret Amber Romance, and it’s meant to be the bee’s knees at keeping gnats, mosquitoes and other flying insects away. even the dudes on the Louisiana state Baseball team vow by it!

They had only two bottles left in the store that day…so I got both. They’re normally $16 a pop, but they were two for $18 on sale.

I also grabbed a roller ball of Victoria’s secret Bombshell perfume, which, according to a scientific study, is nearly as good as DEET at repelling mosquitoes. It doesn’t seem to have the same cult following as Amber Romance, though.

Really, I think the bug repellent I’ve been using does the heavy lifting, but if the perfumes are also helping, I’m all for that. I spritz the body mist on myself, or dab some perfume, every couple hours during the day, or whenever I’m feeling anxious about bugs flying around me, and I haven’t seen a new bite in the last few days.

Funny thing is, I actually like the scents! I was a little hesitant to try something new from Victoria’s secret because it’s been ages considering that I’ve sniffed anything in there and felt moved, but both of these smell delightful, and they’re easy to wear.

Amber romance smells like warm vanilla, sandalwood and amber to me, with a pinch of tart cherry. and Bombshell, which is apparently VS’s bestselling fragrance, also has big vanilla notes, but it’s lighter and a lot more floral (I detect peony). I think it’s nearly like a tropical fruit smoothie with pineapple and passion fruit (no coconut though). I don’t feel suffocated by either scent, and both of them last a few hours.

So…bugs. Mosquitoes. how do you deal with them? Do you ever wear insect repellent at night (or during the day)?

FYI, Salt-N-Pepa’s here.
It has been four months considering that the last time I dyed my hair, and I believe that I’ve reached the point when nearly everyone who grows out their grays says that they want to attack something. Or someone. In other words, the point when it gets really hard.

Last week I came *this* close to booking a last-minute color appointment. multiple times.

ADVERTISEMENT

The greatest challenge has been figuring out what to do about my hairline, because I have a lot of gray there, and the hairs are ever-so-slightly coarser, and as a result a lot more unruly, than the darker hairs.

Back when I was dying my hair and would find an errant gray shooting for the stars and striking out on its own, I’d just pluck it…but now I’m like, “What’s the point? It’s just gonna grow back anyway.”

Now, though, those errant hairs are also four INCHES LONG. Honestly, it’s just so comical. I spend half the time laughing at myself and the other half wrangling the grays into place (a.k.a. getting my hair to look like I’m not being electrocuted). I wonder if I’m ever gonna feel good about my hair again…

Oh, and last night I barely averted hair disaster after enjoying a couple YouTube tutorials on how to cut your own bangs. I was standing in my shower room with the scissors against my bangs, all set to CHOP-CHOP-CHOP. It was all happening in slow motion, too. Thankfully, I had just enough sense left to stop before it was too late. Slowly, I set down the scissors and backed away from the mirror.

MAH HAIR. IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

On the bright side, I really like not having to dye my hair anymore. That part is liberating, but the growing out part is mostly just a pain in the @ass.

They have a mind of their own!
Here’s something weird: depending on which way I part the front of my hair, I either see a ton of gray or very little. Like, if I pull my hair back into a ponytail, I can really see the salt and pepper coming through. same if I do a deep side part. but if I part my hair down the middle, or just slightly off center, I barely see any.

Lighting also makes a big difference. In some pics I take with a flash, I can barely see any gray, but pics in full sunlight? HELLO, gray HAIR.

Wide fabric headbands that come in different patterns and colors have been helpful. When I just can’t deal anymore, I’ll put my hair in a ponytail, and put on a headband and some hoop earrings.

Also, I have yet to figure out what to make with my hair when I want to dress up a little. I’m opting for El Hub to a work party tomorrow, and I think the headband/hoops combo will be a little too casual, so I might do a big messy chunky braid? Or maybe put on a jaunty cap…?

Hey, it works for Tabs.
