Eye primer report: Nude by Nature was a big let down. Not even 2 hrs and already oily and creased. The application had a very silicone feel so I was already skeptical.

The Barry M Lid Lock seems to be performing well. 5 hrs last night with the tiniest hint of creasing, but only if you really nitpicked and didnโ€™t look oily or ready to really crease. That was an evening wear.

I am into almost 5 hrs of day wear and it seems to be holding up similarly.

Iโ€™m not crazy oily, but enough that eyeshadow without primer or even with foundation powder base would oil up in a couple of hours. This is why Urban Decay is so good. I used to be a little hit and miss with it when I realised that I wasnโ€™t applying enough. Even if itโ€™s anecdotal, the fact that my eyeshadow lasted all day in 30+ degrees in Cambodia with humidity while my face oil/sweat did its worst is a real testament to how good it is (on me anyway).

UD is just stupid pricey and I think the formula has changed like some people have mentioned, it seems to dry out and cake a lot faster in the tube. Sad.

I have been researching online to find options to bind a book I am making. I have decided a combination of bamboo skewers, string and a stick of some type will be utilized. Tomorrow is going to be an intersting arts and crafts day, in which I either put together a glorious creation or a weird looking mess.

For some reason, Horny Metal is absolutely what I needed to smash out this spreadsheet.

I need to source a single good sized round rock (to paint up as a pet) my usual walks to work etc arenโ€™t passing any gardens with such to steal. Cunning thoughts?

I found an original LP of the Lawrence of Arabia movie score. It's a bit crackly but that's because it's been in a bad record sleeve. I have a huge supply of special sleeves now and all my LPs are carefully cleaned, the sleeves replaced and the cardboard cover cleaned and repaired if need be. The humidity of the room is still a bit low tho, that cause crackle too so I must water the pot plant.
