Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer with SPF15

De-Slick Oil Controlling Spray (by Urban Decay)

Covergirl+Olay foundation

Covergirl Clean pressed powder

NARS Blush in O*gasm (censored the word just to be safe)

Lashblast Fusion mascara (I think this is Covergirl, too)

Lipstick/lipgloss - I use all kinds. Right now I'm loving Maybelline ColorSensational in 830 Plum Shine. MAC lipstick in Twig is fabulous. MAC lipgloss in Get Rich Quick is also fab. I'm also loving Rimmel lipstick in 126 Metallic Seduction and this sheer pink CoverGirl lipgloss that smells like birthday cake.

Oh and Walmart's makeup remover cloths to take it all off at the end of the day and the big blue tub o' Noxeema cold cream to also clean my face with every couple days.

Lipstick/lipgloss - I use all kinds

I have to use non comedogenic makeup because otherwise it burns my skin off but right now this is what I use.

1. Clinique redness reducing liquid foundation (its the kind with the green tint to hide redness, it helps with my bad razor rash)

2. Dermablend setting powder

3. Every day minerals blush (I have a few colors but don't wear it in public yet)

4. some cheapo lipstick, cant remember the brand but again I don't wear it in public yet so it is irrelevant

still haven't experimented with eye shadow, eye liner, or mascara yet but I am open to suggestions :)

Go to Ulta or Sephora and pick up an Urban Decay product called Greed. It's an eye shadow primer. Apply sparingly (stuff aint cheap) with a brush before other shadow and be amazed.

I highly reccomend Too Faced. Great eye shadow, I use it everyday everyone compliments me on it. Theone I use is the Smokey Eye Collection you can find it online for 36$, but it works amazing and it is fast, all I ever do when I am running late is use the "Fashion- In a flash" one or the "Day-firefly " !

And they have really nice smooth stick eyeliner that stays on and does wonders but it isnt as dark as normal eye liner.

I will have to look into both of those products when I get paid next... its time for me to start practicing regularly, figure out what works for me. I still look like a guy right now so I am not looking to spend a whole lot of money because I wont be wearing it out. I do wear the foundation and powder though, it helps cover my beard area and razor rash. Anything else is just for fun and practice right now :)

Jodie - Then don't waste your money on anything expensive. Have fun getting to know what things do and how to use them to best effect.

My goal with makeup is to look like I'm not using it, certainly never overdo it.

Thats really my goal too, I don't think I will wear flashy makeup except in a few very rare situations. Also cheap is good... as long as its non allergenic and non comedogenic I should be able to wear it. I have some cheaper products that actually hurt me pretty bad so I learned that lesson the hard way. Its nice having a mom that owns a beauty salon, the other day she mailed me a bunch of stuff for free. I also get free waxing, hair cuts, and hair products whenever I visit (usually once a month). She also pierced my ears for me not too long ago using the little gun thing (which actually hurt, when I got my brow pierced I didn't feel a thing... sorta strange, the brow also healed quicker).

Well, let's see, every morning I push this wheelbarrow of products into the bathroom. I'd just keep it there but it restricts access to the sink and the handles keep jabbing people. I proceed to put on liquid foundation (I keep a compressor and spray gun in there for that). Then I put Studio Gear powder over that. Blush (I do BOTH cheeks now!). Then it's up to the eyes. Eyeshadow followed by liner, somedays liquid other days pencil depending on what I'm going for, and then mascara. Then I apply lip stain 'cause I'm lazy and don't wanna touch up my lipstick all day long. After that, turn off the compressor and wheel the wheelbarrow back into my room.

I have been trying a powder foundation and i got it all over myself the first time so I just used the compressor to blow it all off

      https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/27/politics/lgbtq-health-care-biden-administration-rules-affordable-care-act/index.html   Personally, I think this is a very good thing.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
