A dumb question from Ms. Kattja.

So I have a dumb question. I am not to big on blush or lipstick. Never can find a good blush to start with and my natural lip color stands out well on it's own...But I just dont feel right with out eye shadow and eye liner. If in a rush and can only pick one I pick the eye liner. That being said, the other day I picked up two fab eye liners and a great lavender eye shadow. Tho I have alot of eye shadows and eye liners these new liners I picked up,one is silver and really looks great with my green eyes and the other is a silvery lavender, also looks great. my eyes really sparkle, have little brushes on the end of the pencil. I have never seen this on any of my others I have. What is this for? How do I use it (the brush)? Have I been missing out on a beautiy tool? I was with a friend of mine (who has been a huge help and very suportive with me and who I am) and she had never seen this either and she didnt know how exactly to use this. I attached a photo of the brush, on the end of my liner, next to a dime for sizeing reasons.

I have not seen a pencil liner come with a brush before, but i do have a few liner brushes, one flat, one angled and one pointed. My flat one i like with a few cream liners as i find it creates the best line. The pointed is one i like when i use an eye shadow as a liner. Wet the brush and take some shadow from the edge of the color, work off any excess on the back of the hand and then apply as you would with a pencil. My angled one i use very little, but would use it the same as the reg flat one i have, i just like the flat one better. I also have a tiny smudge brush for when i want to smudge the liner for a softer look.

Its used for smudging the liner a bit to help with a smokey effect and blending the liner into the actual shadow. I have one that has a more foamlike back end for the same thing. The brush puts on a VERY fine line, so use two lines, one above the other, and run the smudge tip over it for a new look. Also makes the under eye line look better if you do it on the inside (nose to ear direction) of the eye about 3/4 of the way to the corner of the eye.

No sillier a question than some I have come up with!!

How do i use this tool?

Apply your eyeshadow first on the upper eyelid. Apply the LINER with its brush in a fine line on top of the eyelashes, and just run the tool over the liner while it is still drying.

I go to YouTube do everything step by step. If I didn't accomplish it, then I do it again. It's kinda fun. Don't except to do it on your first try and be fabulous. Me and my mom have the same kind of everything same skin color and stuff so it's a bit easier trying to match your tone. Can you find or play with samples?

      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.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
