Fans of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse might have heard about the “missing” 13th episode Epitaph One, which never got aired. The story behind that is the Fox network counted the original pilot (also unaired) as part of the 13 episode order, while the Fox production company needed 13 actual completed episodes for international DVD releases. Because that original pilot wasn’t enough to qualify as an actual episode (cause they re-used a lot of that material for other episodes), Whedon decided to make a new 13th episode on a lower budget, which will be available on most DVDs as an extra.

Starring Felicia Day, Epitaph One is a stand-alone episode, set in the future after a apocalypse. From what I’ve understood most of the cast will make an appearance, so I’m curious to see how this will fit in the timeline. Take a look at the preview clip which has just been released:

My guess at the moment is that it’s a fantasy or a virtual reality type of scenario. I mean, it’s a bit weird to show all these characters that we’re invested in, so many years in the future; it kind of tells us “hey, they’re alive, so in the next couple of seasons they can’t die”. I’m thinking there must be some sort of twist to it, so that this future isn’t set or maybe just doesn’t exist at all.

I’ve been lately addicted to trying out new lipsticks, lip glosses and lip balms, and I thought I’d share my experiences with a couple of them. I’ve got quite dark pink lips, so a lot of shades won’t work for me, with my natural lip colour shining through.

Bourjois has quite a large range of lip glosses, all under the name “Effet 3D”. There’s the standard Effet 3D, the Effet 3D Cosmic, and the Effet 3D Max. Basically I think they’re all the same, with the Cosmic being more glitterier and sparklier, and the Max being shinier.

I tried out the standard Effet 3D and went with a nice dark red shade called Rouge Classic. The colour is great and gives the proper type of cover for my lips. The gloss is a little bit on the gooey side, and is slightly too sticky: strands of my hair keep getting stuck in it, which is a bit of an annoyance. It does however have the right amount of shininess in it. The application brush is a bit simple, and I found it difficult to apply the upper lip curves properly.

I always hate it when lip glosses smell and taste “chemical”, but the Effet 3D doesn’t suffer from either of those problems. It has a candy like smell, and a similar taste. Like other lip glosses, the longevity of this one isn’t that great, and you do have to re-apply it often during the day.

I really liked this lip gloss, and I think I’ll be wearing it often in the future. Colour-wise I think I went with exactly the perfect colour for my lips, although I would love to try out some of the other ones too.
