Sheer, watery lip stains are not talked about enough. That blotted, diffused lip that everybody wants is IMO hard to achieve with Gen G or Bisou Balm, because those, while nice, are kind of drying and crayon-like. Stains are what gives you lit from within popsicle mouth. Dot a tiny amount, blot it around, be insouciant and extra alive wherever you go. Â
For some reason America is kind of bad at them. Korean brands are the best overallâthe Etude House Dear Darling Tint is a standby. This ââCoco Crushââ is by a Filipino brand called BLK. Itâs my fave because itâs brown, which is hard to find. Itâs looks subtle and a bit dusky and sordid, but organically sordid, like good bedhead.

Lightweight hydration and the stain lasts a few hours. I always go back to this one

đI used to do it the natural way by eating red candies, fruits (prickly pears do a great job), or lemons (the citric acid would react with my lips to make it more plump and red).
Currently in love with the Sacheu Lip Tint, i use the shade Muah-ve. It takes 5 mins and will last all night. I apply it as a lip liner & inner triangles on my top and bottom lip to give them a little contour and plump, then go over with a clear gloss. â¨â¨

đHAND TO GOD, this is my holy grail stuck-on-a-desert-island-with-a-hottie-iâm-trying-to-seduce beauty product, and itâs like five dollars! Itâs a long wearing lip stain - and LISTEN to me, because I know every product has that claim nowadays!!! I will not allege that one application lasts me a full day, but Iâm sure it would on someone who eats and drinks and touches their mouth and kisses strangers a lot less. WHO WANTS TO LIVE LIKE THAT! What I will say about its staying power is that it fades away gorgeously - it wonât crumble off like a chalky liquid formula or rub off on a loverâs collar like a traditional lipstick. Apply this stain, let it set for a minute, add a lipstick/balm/liner/gloss on top if youâd like, and go out and liveee! Youâll probably only have to reapply once or twice the whole day. Perfect for girls like me who always want to be Spotted in a red lip but arenât responsible enough to keep up with one all the time. The two shades I use the most are called âsocialiteâ and âfemme fatale,â appropriate as those are what I also state as my job title to first dates!

This is long because itâs the one thing I bought off an IG ad that has actually been life changing. For years I wanted a dumb phone to fight my phone slash online shopping addiction, but I didnât wanna lose maps and a good camera and the iMessage âechoâ effect. This does that. My Brick lives on my fridge, and once I tap my phone to it, any app I havenât whitelisted is blocked. And you can block anything. Even the calculator! Which it deservesâŚafter I blocked the obvious ones like IG and shopping, I realized how addicted I was to *information itself*
Occasionally, Iâd need to Google something of import, but  mostly, I used it to scratch my gnawing, itchy brain. Iâd habitually fact-check conversations as I had them, to look up interior photos of the restaurant Iâd soon be going to, to search, for the hundredth time, whether fish can feel pain. So anyway I blocked Chrome and Safari and it was nuts. I canât really get stuck in my bed in a phone hole because the phone fun dries up real fast. I have to just.. get up? Read a book? Incredible. When I do unbrick, usually because I need to do promo for my book, I feel feral and off leash, I turn into a zombie ipad kid, and itâs sobering but makes me glad I have something to stop it. Itâs nice being able to purchase a personal quality that you lack. Â

đA mastery of physics. A shape that serves exactly one purpose. Itâs singular like a ringing crystal glass. Itâs stubborn like a key. The arguments for and against a shoehorn are exactly the same: itâll make each day just a little easier. It offers a frictionless on ramp to the rest of the world. You don't need to gnash your heel into your shoe, you don't need to pause and sit and lace and unlace. You can just slide into the shoe and out the front door before you even have time to think.

I donât like having lots of pill bottles displayed on my bathroom shelf or nightstand. My pharmacy doesnât even use the iconic orange ones, and besides, it all feels a bit too Girl Interrupted for a woman of 33.
To find a pill box that could hold multiple bottleâs worth of pillsâthat also wasnât ugly and plasticâI had to find boxes not meant for pills. Ebay has tons ofc, and all you need to do is get the measurements and find a velvet jewelry organizer insert thatâll fit. There are a billion.
