Thanks for another great newsletter, Maggie.

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.

I really enjoy Jodi Foster.

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.
