Ok HS chemistry sets a high bar, @Ispend2much6 - not surprised at all 😂 This was crazy and fun. Love that you have the zest in life to try something like this.

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  I love to cook; why was chemistry so boring?

[eshoe]

Maybe because it was something you had to do vs want to do @Ispend2much6 😉

[Titian06]

OMGosh, @Ispend2much6 !  I can't believe you did this...and that it worked! 🤭  I will look at the pasta aisle in a whole new light!🕯

[Ispend2much6]

@Titian06  Multi-tasking products save money, right? lol  I am seriously wondering if I can have those long, old-fashioned horizontal waves if I use cannelloni next time.  I mean, curling hair with no heat and no bristles to pull out the hair does sound enticing.

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Did you use actual rigatoni!?! I thought it might have been the way you clippee your hair? This technique gave you a lovely wave!!

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  Yes, I sure did!  But you do have to dampen the hair first, then use a texturizing spray. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 That is awesome! Love it !!! 😀

[caitbird]

@Ispend2much6  omg, I can't believe you actually did it 🤣 I have to say, the results look pretty good, considering! Hooray for the spirit of scientific (?) inquiry! I am still not sure I am up for trying this particular experiment myself though 😅

[Ispend2much6]

@caitbird   Your hair is really long; I'm not sure you could do it even if you wanted to.

[Ispend2much6]

@caitbird   They do actually look pretty good!  It would be an expensive way to curl my hair though.  But no heat required, so more gentle on my hair!

[Sunnysmom]

Omg this is just too much @Ispend2much6 ! 🤣 I prefer mine al dente with bolognese please! 😋

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  I'm sorry, I'm not wearing bolognese, even for you.😂

[Sunnysmom]

😆no @Ispend2much6 ?! 🤣 Sounds good tho doesn’t it. 😊 Glad your hair turned out well tho. Those crazy kids! Lol (also wanted to mention that yes WA Ma Biche shade is a bit on the warm side tho the stain left on me looks cooler leaning. But it’s got some warmth to it vs cool fyi 🙂. I should compare it to LE Jazz. It reminds me of it if you have that. ) See spoiler for swatch.

WA Ma Biche

[Ispend2much6]

Thank you so much! @Sunnysmom   It definitely would turn coral on me, an unwanted development. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh no that’s no good then @Ispend2much6 ! It’s a very pretty shade but I know how tricky your natural lip color is! I just wish I had more pigment to mine! Never happy eh?! 🤣

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Something like that!  My MIL actually thought I was wearing lipstick one day, and said if she had my lip coloring she wouldn't wear lipstick.  Some days they're pale though.

[eshoe]

ok that is interesting that you have noticed your natural lip color changes, @Ispend2much6. I wonder how often this happens, and now it makes me wonder if this is why sometimes a familiar shade appears different on me  😳

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  I kind of think there are different reasons for the changes.  One I know for certain is  if my asthma is acting up, my lips will be more pale.  If they are dry or I'm cold or tired, the same.  If I'm hot or have a fever, more color.  I also think that some lip products can bleach the skin.  I think I'd read that but don't quote me!

[eshoe]

Oh I won't quote you @Ispend2much6 😂 but this is something I have never really thought about, and it makes sense. Sometimes I love how a shade looks on me and other times, I wonder why I bought it. 

Just be patient is the big picture theme I am seeing here. 

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  Patience is usually a good thing.  I think our skin changes shades a few times, I think maybe I read every ten years?
