One day, I will be able to buy the YSL $30 mascara which makes your eyelashes visible FROM SPACE. My roommate has it, and I steal it often . . . but she bought it in one of those crazy splurges where your brain gets replaced by a credit card. Even though it's worth it.

I also have super pale skin and hate liquid foundation! I use Physician's Formula in "Translucent Light." Before I found that shade, I used "Translucent" which was a near match but still not quite there. And I like Clinique lip gloss (Fire Berry, Bamboo Pink, Tenderheart) although I have one Seriously Red lipstick from . . . Studio Gear? It is intense. If I ever want to feel like Ava Gardner, that is what I wear.
