The Scottish shoegaze predecessors made emotionally stirring music, but it wasn’t as a result of their lyricism. In fact, Fraser’s words were usually unintelligible. They would verge on familiar phrases, but as if she was speaking in another language or in reverse. Even when her nonsensical vocals aren’t getting lost amidst Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde’s hazy dream-pop soundscapes, it’s almost impossible to make out what she’s saying. The feeling concocted by the Cocteau Twins’ soundscapes didn’t necessarily spawn from beautiful lyricism or melancholic metaphors but from the atmosphere and ambience, they created with guitars and wailing vocals. On genre-defining records like Heaven or Las Vegas and Treasure, the trio allowed her soprano vocals to swirl around, echoing strums and the occasional tambourine, forging moving soundscapes entirely through instrumentation. The stirring nature of their sound has even exerted its impact on Fraser, who once admitted that relistening to Blue Bell Knoll left her in tears. “I listened to [Blue Bell Knoll] for the first time in years and I cried,” she recalled during a conversation with John Grant: "I listened to [Blue Bell Knoll] for the first time in years and I cried, I just thought it was so lovely," says Fraser, remembering the creative process as an opportunity for the band to escape the pressures of their private lives. "It was quite a difficult time, and I think we just decided to throw ourselves into the creativity. Getting immersed in that process and not worrying about how it would be perceived or the outcome, just going with the flow without expectations, no endgame, just enjoy it, and if it’s not working try something else." Fraser went in-depth about her famously unconventional approach to songwriting, for which she used a self-constructed language to provide lyrics. "I gained so much from [inventing language]," she told Grant. "I didn’t expect it to be such a fulfilling experience, at first it was an avoidance tactic, more than that, but I must have given myself permission along the way that I was really gonna go for it and not worry about people’s opinions." Of Blue Bell Knoll‘s lyrics in particular, she said: "I often get into trouble with lyrics in a way that wasn’t happening with Blue Bell Knoll. I often get stuck with lyrics, I get into old habits and keep doing the same thing. Writing Blue Bell Knoll I had a wonderful freedom to put lyrics aside and not to worry." Grant took particular interest in the Cocteaus’ song titles, asking Fraser to explain Blue Bell Knoll‘s. ‘Athol-brose’ is named after the Scottish drink, "whiskey and honey… I’d had quite a lot of that…" the singer revealed, while of ‘A Kissed Out Red Floatboat’, she said: "I remember I felt love, a really intense love, I was romanticising about it, a romantic image of being open and having your heart open." Ella Megalast Burls Forever, meanwhile, was written in tribute to the mother of bandmate Robin Guthrie. "She was quite a big woman, in terms of personality as well as physique, and she was very jolly and nimble; even though she was a big lady there was something very delicate about her. I just had this image of her revolving, and this going on and on forever and ever, eternally. And so she should!"

Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick : Review & Swatches

#2762 - Pericosmus crawfordi

Originally described as Meoma crawfordi by Captain Frederick Wollaston Hutton FRS FGS (1836 – 1905), an English-born New Zealand naturalist who applied the theory of natural selection to explain the origins and nature of the natural history of New Zealand. One of the most prolific nineteenth century naturalists of New Zealand. However he also had it as Meoma brevipatalata later in the same publication. AKA Megalaster compressus, Pericosmus compressus, Pericosmus mccoyi (named after the same guy that gave it the previous name) and Linthia compressus.

This particular example is from Duntroonian New Zealand Stage (28 - 27 Mya) in the Late Oligocene, but the species (presumably in the form of the synonyms above) hung around from the Paleogene (34.3 - 27.3 Mya) to the Miocene (13.7 - 12.7 Mya). The species has also been found in Miocene and Oligocene Australian rocks. A delightful little detail on the card is that it was found next to the Mackenzie's hayshed.

The genus is still around, but is rarely collected since they live in tropical waters 200 to 500m deep, usually. They're slow-moving shallow infaunal deposit feeders and detritivores.

The Makeup That I Wear Every Day.

On the top left: Wet n' Wild MegaClear mascara. I've been using Wet n' Wild mascaras as primers for years. I just use one coat under my normal mascara, and then I apply one to two coats of my regular mascara. This clear one also functions as a lash serum, but without those horrible side effects. Plus, Wet n' Wild mascaras are clean, meaning they contain no parabens, no phthalates, no talc, no mineral oil, or paraffin. This one doesn't contain a fragrance. Plus, it's great for my no makeup days.

L'Oreal Voluminous Noir Balm mascara. If you're looking for a clean mascara that's doesn't contain fragrance, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, paraffin, talc, fragrance, and other stuff, get this one. I use one coat, and I still get dramatic length, definition, and volume. It's easy to remove. I used to use two coats, and got even more dramatic effect, but one is just as good. With my clear mascara/primer/serum, I don't need a second coat. I just discovered this one. The wand isn't so small that you can't see it, but the wand isn't SUV sized, either. The wand is just right, and easy to hold. The formula is clean, vegan, and is more of a balm than a thick, goopy mess, and it doesn't hit you with a fragrance. It's allergy season here in Michigan, and my eyes are more sensitive as a result. Plus, fragrances are very irritating to me.

I curl my lashes with Cover Girl makeup masters eyelash curler. I keep coming back to this one. It's comfortable to hold, and it's comfortable to use. It doesn't pinch my lids. If I can't find this, I'll buy a Revlon curler, because Revlon eyelash curlers are comfortable to hold and use, and don't pinch my lids.

I start with my eye makeup, so Incase I make a mistake, I can easily remove it with a Q-tip that I cover in Vaseline.

Top left, and second to the bottom: Maybelline Master Prime in blur and pore minimize. I recently came back to this one, and I love it. My skin loves it. Another customer at Kroger's recommended this. The formula is clean and vegan, and my skin feels soft, isn't oily, and my skin looks smooth. Plus, there's no irritating ingredients, which means my skin won't react. Plus, it's a dupe of the Smashbox primer, you know the one that started primers, but Maybelline Master Primer is only a fraction of the cost

That redness in my cheeks isn't blush! It's my skin being sensitive. Yes, my skin is oily, breakout prone, and sensitive on top of this. Yes, my skin was slightly irritated. You can see also the redness from when I had a huge zit on the left side of my cheek that's since dried out, and shrunk in size.

Wet n' Wild Megalast Incognito concealer in Medium Neutral. I use this every day. I have dark circles, and this stuff covers them up without caking, or irritating my eyes. It blends really well, too. I don't have a weird cast and my dark circles don't crack through. It doesn't cake, either. It stays put. It's a reasonably priced dupe of the Nars concealer, but the applicator is much bigger. It doesn't look like you get a lot in there, but a little goes a long way.

Almay Clear Complexion foundation in buff. My skin, is oily, breakout prone and sensitive, so this makeup covers my skin really well. The shades run on the dark side, so you need to go down a shade. Your skin tone will adjust. In the two months I've been using this, my skin has improved. My skin rarely breaks out, my skin isn't as oily, and it's made my skin even better when I take it off. There's no fragrance, and the formula is clean, meaning that there's no talc (a famous ingredient in makeup and other products for oily skin), fragrance- which irritates my sensitive skin for some reason, I do have to be careful, parabens, phthalates, paraffin, mineral oil, and other stuff that can be irritating to skin. It does contain salicylic acid, which is great for breakouts. The amount is 1%, which is just enough to treat breakouts.

As you can see in both photos, Almay Clear Complexion has made a difference. The photo on the left is from when I started using it. The photo on the right is two months later, and you can see how much my skin has improved.

Top right: Coty Airspun Loose Powder, Talc Free Formula in Translucent Extra Coverage. I've been using this is high school, and it's getting harder to find. If I can't find this, then I'll use Cover Girl Clean Invisible Loose Powder in Translucent Light. I do like to buy the Coty Airspun Loose Powder whenever I find it. It does contain fragrance, yet it doesn't irritate my skin. They used to make one for sensitive skin, but it's been discontinued. The fragrance isn't strong, but it reminds me of my Nana and my grandma. My mom got me hooked on this stuff in high school, and it's been my main go to ever since. It's talc-free, mineral oil free, parabens free, BHT free (it's a carcinogen, so be careful with this one, if you see it as a listed ingredient, please put it back on the shelf, there's safer and cleaner alternatives) , and it's water based. If you have dry skin, this really won't dry it out, and for sensitive skin, it's great because it's not too irritating, even though it does contain fragrance, but it nothing that's too strong.

Bottom photo: Cover Girl Clean Invisible pressed powder in buff beige. I keep this on my purse, and I use it to touch up. I've been using Cover Girl Pressed Powders ever since high school, and they really keep my oily skin at bay. The new and improved original clean ones contain no talc, parabens, fragrance, phthalates, mineral oil, or fragrance. My skin just isn't irritated when I use it.

I use a clear or tinted lip balm ever day. I use a different one every day.

You can also see the sock that I'm knitting. I frogged that, and just cast on 64 stitches. It's working out better.
