Fever goes up, fever goes down. Look, body, make up your mind, because this is the difference between doing stuff and falling over.

And this is also why I prefer to wear concealer or base makeup every day: When I feel sick and chronic badly enough, my skin turns sickly white with a weird flush even though I'm already pale as winter, and sometimes the makeup is the only thing I like about myself. I know, I know, inner beauty, confidence, makeup doesn't matter, etcetera, whatever. It's just one of those things. You who are there will know what I mean.

This is one of the only makeup products I like to wear all day all the time, because it helps with the nourishing and healing and making me look more human. But when my shade, Warm 2, makes me look artificially healthy, there is a bit of an issue. Even the matching concealer in Warm Light isn't enough to hide the crap. And my eyes look so glassy and exhausted and not even my favorite eye makeup can help (sorry, Josie Maran, Bare Minerals, MAC, Revlon, Maybelline and Neutrogena; I know you try).

Also, there's a reason I prefer neutral dark red or dark pink lipcolors aside from pretending to look healthy. Well, actually, that is the reason. Which is why I am so grateful for the following:
Aveda's Maracuja and Cherrybud lipsticks, Aveda's Ginger Lily lipgloss, Bare Minerals's Italian Ice and Passion Fruit lipsticks, Bare Minerals's Pomegranate lipgloss, Salma Hayek Nuance's Paprika and Passion Pink lipsticks, Revlon's Red Velvet Lip Butter, NARS's Flamenco and Shanghai Express lipsticks, Rimmel London's Red Action Moisture Renew lipgloss, and Sally Hansen's Cherry Twist and Berry Blend MoistureTwist lipgloss.

The red and dark pink lip shades, which I also use as blush, all make me feel prettier than Snow White's resurrected body after a week under glass on a cloudy day.

I don't remember where I was going with this. Wow, I have a lot of lipcolor products. I'm going to the vanity counter in the bathroom to stare at my eyeshadow collection.

Oh, good! I'm so glad you like it. The tamanu oil will really help with cracks and sores and dehydration, even on the face. It's delicious. It's also $12 per tube, but that is understandable because of the size and ingredient list.

However, if you can't find it in stores, you can buy it online - with free shipping!
