Do you still have that Lancôme eyeshadow? It sounds as if you might have been unable to part with it, despite having decided not to wear it nowadays. The M141 looks good on you! How funny that the M139 behaved that way on your lips; great that you found another use for it.
No, I don't have it anymore. I had it maybe in 2008? Haha! But clearly it's stuck in my memory. And thank you; M141 sure is special. I haven't been this excited by an eyeshadow color in a long time.
Watching and loving True Detective. Chose not to watch the previous seasons, which all seemed too male. Maybe I should revisit? The male friend I was staying with loved them all. Jodie Foster is superb, and I love having as her opposite the physically strong, Indigenous, supporter of the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement, Kali Reis. I’m a bit put off by the amount of spiritual/fantastical content, because as an Indigenous person, I’ve experienced its incorrect overuse (Sterlin Harjo addressed this to amusing effect in Rez Dogs), but I’m still in. Fiona Shaw’s explanation about the tears in the fabric between the living and the dead because of the aging world was gorgeous. Shaw is amazing in everything she does, and she’s perfect as an unlikely citizen of Ennis who’s chosen to come from another kind of life. I wish there were more episodes, but I’m enjoying it as it is. Thanks for another informative newsletter on multiple subjects. P.S. Finding lipstick is difficult. My purple/blue pigmented lips against my pale skin put me in a lipstick outcome minority. Sisserou disappointed me as a shade. I find it generally much darker than I expected. Now, I’m on the hunt for a pink shade a la Kjaer Weis Honor, though maybe a slightly a darker pink. Why is lipstick so difficult? For years I used NARS Mindgame, and was happy. I haven’t found a clean makeup alternative, and I’d really prefer a tube to a pot.
So happy to hear you're loving True Detective: Night Country. By the previous seasons seeming too male, do you mean the cast of characters or the content so to speak? Last year, I rewatched all three previous seasons in preparation for Night Country, but Season 1 was the only one worth the rewatch (and remains high on my list, at least in the Top 5 of my favorite television series/seasons).
The right lip color is so difficult despite the seemingly endless amount of options out there. So many things to consider: hue balance, pigment level, texture, color in context. I had to look on NARS Mindgame because I'm unfamiliar and interesting! It's much warmer than I had anticipated with KW Honor in mind. Mindgame reminds me of NOTO's Multi-Bene in Touch, though I'm unsure how "sheer" it is comparatively. And I'm in the exact same boat, I prefer all my lip colors in a tube versus a pot, but I make do/exceptions for color.
Thanks for another great newsletter, Maggie.

I really enjoy Jodi Foster.
Thanks for reading, D!

Jodi Foster is excellent in this season!
