HAND TO GOD, this is my holy grail stuck-on-a-desert-island-with-a-hottie-iām-trying-to-seduce beauty product, and itās like five dollars! Itās 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 Iām 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 wonāt crumble off like a chalky liquid formula or rub off on a loverās collar like a traditional lipstick. Apply this stain, let it set for a minute, add a lipstick/balm/liner/gloss on top if youād like, and go out and liveee! Youāll 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 arenāt responsible enough to keep up with one all the time. The two shades I use the most are called āsocialiteā and āfemme fatale,ā appropriate as those are what I also state as my job title to first dates!

Iām not an everyday makeup user, but I wanted a lil something to make me feel more out together/casually sexy and a light lip color has been a game changer!
Iām talking a tinted lip gloss or lip crayon or lip stain - low maintenance, isnāt gonna get on my teeth, is hard to mess up, and looks good as it fades throughout the day. Makes me feel so powerful!!! And poutyš«¦š

So help me Gosh if you ever really take one of my recs to heart maybe let this be the one. F*&K ART LITERATURE AND MUSIC. AND PLACES.
In my entire career at PI, I've rarely recommended products, not even because I think all products are inherently bad, although maybe I kind of do, or maybe I just try to be frugal, or maybe I just don't have a dresser with drawers so if I have something it's lowkey always on display, which is partially why I recommended Aesop perfume (good bottle),
WHATEVER
I GUESS I FEEL IT IS RARE THAT I AM MOVED ENOUGH TO RECOMMEND YOU ALL GO AND BUY SOMETHING.
But I'm about to shill the eff out of this one. Maybe you've seen the ads, but the Bisou Balm from Violette_FR is actually so legit. Only lipstick I will ever use until the day I die. It's my dream lipstick, somehow matte but also hydrating like it never settles in the cracks of your lips you always look French new wave film grain/ perfect pout/ unbothered/ never caught lacking/ "who, me?'/ I just kissed someone WITH TONGUE and it was SUPER F%$KING HOT AND AWESOME/
I have the shade Betise (I am far too lazy to add the accent) but it was gifted to me by my pal Isa Locsin. On me (super pale cool toned) it is the perfect natural lip, shows up cool on me, my make up routine is literally just concealer powder blush Bisou Balm now. And I have never felt more polished and finished. I feel
girl on the go...
well yes I just kissed someone...
and yes my hair is perfectly tousled I don't even bother it just falls like that haha...

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.Ā Ā
For some reason America is kind of bad at them. Korean brands are the best overallāthe Etude House Dear Darling Tint is a standby. This āāCoco Crushāā is by a Filipino brand called BLK. Itās my fave because itās brown, which is hard to find. Itās looks subtle and a bit dusky and sordid, but organically sordid, like good bedhead.

Forget everything youāve heard about Tubi. I need you to be open minded right now - trust me! Pretend Iām holding your hand delicately across a table and looking into your eyes with a silent plea or something like that. Is Tubi a good streaming platform? Well, an argument could surely be made that it is not. Does it have frequent ads? It sure does (itās free). Is it the ideal streaming experience? It is not, but, dear reader (Iāve always wanted to say that but Iāve never had a dear reader for it!) it is the best LIFE experience. There is a world of possibilities on Tubi. There are SEVERAL horror movies surrounding leprechauns. There is a sci-fi collection called Bimbo Movie Bash. There is a comedy special called A Conservative Unleashed. Other movies include Christmas Twister, Horrors of Spider Island, Auntie Leeās Meat Pies, and I Married a Centerfold. I KNOW!!! Run, donāt walk! Explore the dark twisted bowels of Tubi! Maybe take an edible first if thatās your sort of thing.

I recently got very into the Advanced Style Aesthetic and wanted more than anything to embody the style of an eccentric old woman. Through extensive personal research I have discovered that you can get loads of gaudy old-lady costume jewelry for cheap by searching ācostume jewelry lotā on eBay, and youāll find the best stuff if you add āgrandmotherāsā or āestateā as well. As Iām writing this, I have on two chunky beaded necklaces, a pair of fake gold statement earrings, and a cameo ring. I feel like the most fabulous girl on a cruise ship!

A girl like me simply does not wear pants. I have tried and tried and tried but thereās just something about my legs being covered that makes me feel uncomfortable! Wearing miniskirts all year long is a STATEMENT and very 60s and will improve your love life because guys will always come up to you wherever you are and be like āarenāt you cold?ā which is the most sexual question of all time. This has been the first thing said to me by many soon-to-be suitors. After years of not wearing pants, my legs are hardly capable of feeling the cold anymore, but there are a few ways to make it more comfortable. A pair of knee-length boots are essential for the winter - get yourself a good pair of black leather ones (like Vagabond)Ā you can wear pretty much every day, and a costumey white gogo boot if you want to have some extra fun. Tights help, too: whichever black pair you last picked up for $7 at the drugstore, a fleece-lined pair for especially cold days, and a couple different brightly colored pairs for days when youāre feeling like Twiggy. Keep some white thigh-high socks around too - I buy mine from Amazon and they never fall down on me! Enjoy your leg-flaunting and all of your new loversā¦
