Hmmm...I don't know what causes dermatitis. I would do a google search on it.
Could it be the weather? Indoor heating can be extremely drying. Wondering if a humidifier would help.
Or jojoba oil...I've never put it on my eyelids. But wondering if putting some on at night would help any. (It works great on overall flakiness for me.)
Anyhoo...those Bobbi Brown things sound lovely.
I know what you mean about the colors. Not that I think that way, but my daughter does. She has an infinite sense of color and form. She'll create her own colors by layering and blending magic markers, crayons, colored pencils, sparkly pens....
I sense that you are a frustrated artist. You probably need to paint. :)
I have found that those odd color combinations really do work. From the orange and purple, to the orange and green, to the green and purple. It's something about the way the two colors...they're secondary colors...play off each other.
Now myself...I actually want fewer and fewer, rather than more and more. I'm not quite Dain-like :) in that, I don't go through my stash and think about chucking anything. Then again, I have reduced my stash to mainly powder products, which keep for a very long time.
I never had a lipstick dry-out in Virginia. I had the opposite problem. Perfumes would go bad. It's the heat. You have to refrigerate them.
But here...it's also why I don't want too many lipsticks. It's a nice thought but I hate having to throw them out. And I don't know how to "moisturize" them once they have dried out.
Logically you should be able to hydrate them somehow. They're not rancid or otherwise bad, just...dry.
You're right about the taupe. I tried it out with Silly Goose. It actually looked good although I was being lazy about applying the taupe. It's better with a smaller brush...
I'm now thinking about blue shadow. I own no blue shadows at all. And I suspect that the right blue, would work the same way the right green and the right orange do. sigh I have plenty of time to think about it because I don't want to buy it right now...but blue and taupe might rock together...
Hum. I do the same thing with french bread. I know it is a terrible sin but hey, I'll eat french bread the second day. :) You just need to put it in a paper bag inside a plastic bag.
