One of my favorite readers has sent in a beauty question. Her name is Mida Lane, one talented singer and a fantastic jeweler as well. Go check out her shop on Etsy. 381MidaLane.etsy.com, her jewelry is simply stunning.

I'm always happy to answer beauty inquiries. Sometimes I just butt in at CVS if I see someone is stumped. Especially if they happen to be male and are giving off a very hetero vibe. I figure their wife/girlfriend must have put them up to a task that was far too daunting to do alone. Ladies, don't do this to your guy. Let him do the heavy lifting, not pick up your maxi pads and nailpolish for you!! So if you see me in CVS and need my assistance, flag me down!!

Here is Mida's question:

"So, natural disaster and every last beauty supply you ever had is gone. What are the first 10 things Miss Mazeppa restocks and why?"

This is a tough one. First off, I would be inconsolable for about ten minutes before regaining my composure and running off to loot the nearest post-apocalyptic drugstore. Forget food, water and shelter, I need my mascara!!! Here are the products I would whord (that doesn't look right??? too close to whore, is it hord, yikes, spell check)

Any natural disaster could not be weathered without these 10 products:

1. Very Black Mascara (my current fav is Cover Girl LashBlast)
2. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
3. L'oreal Kohl Liner
4. Stila concealer
5. Satin-lined Eye Mask
6. Dr. Pepper LipSmackers
7. Sonia Kashuk Eyeshadow in 'Burnished'
8. Any Red Lipliner
9. 1 1/2" Hot Tools Curling Iron
10. Q-tips

This could cover me for a few days. FEMA would supply soap, tbrush, toothpaste, right??? With these products I could manage a smokey eye for those TV spots of me crying over my disheveled home lying in ruins, from fire, flood, whatever. And FEMA better bring a generator to power my curling iron. I look like a crazed homeless woman without a little time with my Hot Tools in the morning. Oh wait, I would be homeless. Duh. So this look would be appropriate.

What else.....oh the red lipliner is for any romantic entanglements that may occur. If I'm gonna be stuck in a room full of strangers sleeping on the floor, the least I could do is find someone who looks like Jude Law and reenact the scene from 'Enemy at the Gates'.

If I lost you on that one, add it to your Netflix cue and you'll see what I mean.


Hope that answers your burning question Mida. Bye for now!!
