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

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
