People Who Know About Makeup (Fahye? Jamethiel?) - I bought 3x MAC eyeshadows while I was overseas (a purple, a pearly white, and a green). I've settled on some nice colour combinations with the purple and white, especially with a greyblue shadow I already had; the green still has some work to go before I can wear it without looking like I "escaped from Cirque du Soleil" (thanks, K!).

Problem, though: within about an hour, my carefully applied and blended colours have almost disappeared - flaked off, I assume? I'm used to this happening with cheap makeup, but wasn't expecting it from MAC.

Am I doin' it Rong?

Honey and Five Spice stir-fry

This recipe began as the Honey and Five Spice Lamb from the Women's Weekly Modern Asian cookbook. Personally I've liked it better with beef, and chicken was delicious; and in fact it wouldn't require meat at all (perhaps halve the sauce/marinade if going vego, unless Tofu is involved).

Feeds 4, or thereabouts, depending on how much stuff you put in it. Vegetables can be swapped for... other vegetables.

Note: measurements are in Australian measures; tablespoons are 20ml but I don't imagine it makes all that much difference in this dish.
