A couple of holiday wishes

[tricia868]

-Lipstick recommendations! Lipstick is the only makeup I wear regularly. Or, I should say, wore regularly. My skin is really sensitive, and lipstick and chapstick in particular tend to cause reactions. Also, anything containing peppermint oil is bad (such as my favorite lip gloss, much to my dismay). Almay stopped making Pure Tints, and I haven't had any lipstick since. Currently, I'm using Nivea's Kiss of Moisture lip balm, and have not yet had a reaction from it, so if anyone wants me to give them the ingredients list for that to use in a quest for me, I'd love it. Or if you can think of anything offhand that's good for horribly sensitive skin.

-Do You Hear What I Hear, and Carol of the Bells - Specifically, a female vocalist's recording of Do You Hear What I Hear, without all the embellishments heard in versions that receive radio play. I like the lovely, simple, more traditional, sound. (I wouldn't mind the Bing Crosby version of it too, but the female vocalist version is something I've been searching for for years.) Other pretty, possibly calming, and not at all pop-type music or recommendations thereof, Christmas-related or not, is welcome also, since it's what I've been in the mood for. Music is always a good thing.

-Do something nice for someone, start a conversation with a friend you haven't talked to in awhile, brighten someone's day somehow. And feel free to tell me about it. I need to be a lot better about doing this, and reminders to do so are always welcome.

...Actually. I THINK I might have the very thing for Do You Hear What I Hear. :D

Lemme just go find my CD and rip it...

Hm, I'm not sure if what I have fits your music tastes, but I've got a few instrumentals from various soundtracks that are pretty and calming to me.

I've also have a few rain, ocean waves, and the like type tracks if you're interested.

Hm... despite Carol of the Bells being one of my faaaaavorite Christmas songs, I don't have many versions of it :O Alas.

Well, here's one version that I don't think exactly fits the marker, and I'm not completely a fan of it, but it's vaguely decent.

And darnit! The other song I thought you'd might like I bought off itunes ;;; So I can't send it D: IF you can find it, it's called "The Bells of Christmas" by Loreena McKennit, played in "The Santa Clause" (with Tim Allen). It's an absolutely lovely song if you ask me ^^; Wish I could send it.
