 wearing it! I'm a sucker for mood lipsticks like medieval/FrogPrince LQ, Smashbox both "O" versions, LA Colors makes a gloss dupe for Smashbox; I had a generic mood lipstick for a $1 buck from dollar free I lost :-(, & have on order a Sephora mood gloss. I know it's not really the mood it's body chemistry & I'm easily amused but I love these kinda products. I get a real a real kick out of getting my own personalized color.
I live in tropical Darwin and can be walking around outside throughout the workday in 30* C without a handbag, so I need to be able to have a lipstick in my pocket. Medieval survives the day! Not only does it survive it gives a great sheer flush of natural deep pink to my lips. Which has surprising staying power. Definitely much better than a balm.
I have also used it over sinner pink and it deepens the pink to a warm, rosey shade with a touch of shine.
Thank you Poppy I am so happy you are back.
This color is just gorgeous! I am always looking for a MLBB balm or stain, and having put off buying this for 6 years due to price, I finally caved. My lips naturally don't have any color, and I have to wear something to look lively. I have been using Lipsmackers for the tint. I would describe this as a grown up Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers+, because it actually shows up more, and is just as moisturizing with vitamin E. This is a new Holy Grail for me! Makes my lips look juicy and "just bitten".
This is the sheer red I've been waiting my whole life for! You know the color you used to get on your lips after eating a cherry popsicle when you were younger? This looks EXACTLY like that. It applies like a tinted balm, as many have already said, but the color is more noticeable and lasts longer than most tinted balms I've tried. If you're looking for major drama red lips, this won't do it for you. Personally, I LOVE how sheer this is - my natural lips show through, but they have the prettiest red tint to them. Will definitely repurchase.
Some readers here have called this a glorified lip balm, and I would tend to agree. But wow, what a lip balm it is. It does apply so smoothly and feels so luxurious I can't help but love it. A quick swipe and you really don't notice much color, but you do get a nice hit of sheer red as you build it up. I don't think the staying time is very long, but again, with the feel, the beautiful color and the lovely packaging, I love it and happily reapply. And if you apply a few swipes, you do get a more noticeable red, albeit still natural.
This lipstick is very moisturizing and is packed with pigment. It's a fun color to wear day-to-day.
I agree with other reviewers that this is really a glorified tinted lipbalm, but I am ok with that. I love how moisturizing it is and that I can put it on without looking. My favorite time to use Medieval is after you have worn a red lipstain for a few hours and you need some moisture on your lips. It fills in any gaps in color nicely. I think the pricepoint is pretty high considering and would really have to think twice about repurchasing.
I really like Medieval. A lot. But after my divorce, I was unable to afford spending over twenty dollars on what is basically a tinted balm...even if it is a really perfect color and consistency. It is not a lipstick, and can be swept onto the lips without a mirror. If I'm able to afford it again, I may purchase it as a splurge when I run out of my last tube, but I have found that a good sweep of lip balm and a very light touch of NYC Ultra Moist Lipwear in Sheer Red is just about a perfect match. Not as convenient, but at 1/22 the price, I'll take it. If the price is not a concern, though, Medieval is great!This is an RFC to modify Peer Id spec to alter the default string representation from Multihash to CIDv1 in Base32 and to support encoding/decoding text Peer Ids as CIDs.
Current text representation of Peer Id (multihash in Base58btc) is case-sensitive. This means we can't use it in case-insensitive contexts such as domain names (RFC1035 + RFC1123) or FAT filesystems.
CID provide multibase support and base32 makes a safe default that will work in case-insensitive contexts, enabling us to put Peer Ids in domains or create files with Peer Ids as names.
It's much easier to upgrade wire protocols than text. This RFC makes Peer Ids in text form fully self describing, making them more future-proof. A dedicated multicodec in text-encoded CID will indicate that it's a hash of a libp2p public key.
Switch text encoding and decoding of Peer Ids from Multihash to CID.
The old text representation (Multihash encoded as base58btc) is a valid CIDv0 and does not require any special handling.
We could just add a multibase prefix to multihash, but that requires more work and introduces a new format. This option was rejected as using CID enables reuse of existing serializers/deserializers and does not create any new standards.
This RFC punts pids-as-cids on the wire down the road but that's something we can revisit if it ever becomes relevant.This is just one of several articles I have written and plan on writing for fellow record sellers and collectors who join me in KEEPING VINYL ALIVE. Whatever damage we can eliminate and prevent, the better the future of 'our preciouses'.
Before you go scotch taping your album covers together, have a look at these few tips to help you repair splits and unglued seams easily and with great results. No need for expensive tools or fancy gadgets, just some simple household items will suffice.
Before you go scotch taping your album covers together, have a look at these few tips to help you repair splits and unglued seams easily and with great results. No need for expensive tools or fancy gadgets, just some simple household items will suffice.
THE TOOLS
-Glue Stick: Not a hot glue stick, get the thick pasty stuff (the kind some kids ate in kindergarten) that comes in a twist-up tube. Rubber cement is also an option, but tends to be messy and you will undoubtedly get some on your hands, possibly transferring it to the front of the album cover and defeating our purpose here.
-Card Stock: Thin, but sturdy works exceptionally well. You will be using very small pieces at a time, so no need to keep a ton of it on hand (unless you're a super-obsessed record seller/collector like me!) You can even cut up the old greeting cards that Grandma gave you to re-use and recycle.
-Set of Sharpies: A small, rainbow colored pack is sufficient. Black, Blue and Red are the most common colors you will need.
THE PROCESS
Press firmly and evenly along the outside of the cover where you have just re-glued. For best results, place the repaired seam between a stack of heavy books, or in between a stack of records and leave overnight if possible. This will give the glue plenty of time to set and create a strong bond on the seam. That's it!
Seam splits are very common on older, or well-loved record covers, but do not have to be left to increase in size and get worse. They will most commonly appear on the spine and bottom seams. This is where you will use your card stock. Of course, if you can, match the card stock to the color of the album cover. Not essential, but certainly ideal. You can also color the card stock to match with one of your sharpies. (clever, eh?)
Now carefully place the card stock piece inside the record cover where the seam has split and press evenly, again making sure not to glue the insides together. Again, press between books or records or other heavy objects and leave overnight if possible. Don't worry about the exposed glue edge that has become your replacement seam, it will dry clear and you can touch it up with ink or a sharpie if needed.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT: After your covers have been repaired and the glue has dried completely, cover them with poly outer sleeves to protect your handiwork and prevent further damage.
Now if I only knew how to repair split and broken records, THAT would be something! Anyone got any ideas?? I encourage anyone with related blogs and websites to contact me, and let's share links. Networking is what it's all about, so bring it on!
I am still confused about the card stock deal..Have you considered a youtube video? sign me idiotboy
