The makeup monsters are back again this week with another beastie, this one a nightmarish creature of dark makeup magic!
Balm Beholder
Description: It’s a cold, windy day, and your lips are chapped. You pause outside the mall to re-apply your favorite lip balm when you hear a low groan behind you. You whip around! Floating there before you is a hideous orb-like creature with a single unblinking eye, a huge maw with extremely chapped, raw lips, and smaller eyes attached to wriggling stalks, gah!
Frequency: Rare
Speed: Fast
Armor Class: 7 (flight makes them difficult to corner)
Special Attacks: Balm Beholders must consume moisturizing lip balms to survive. Any creature that makes eye contact for more than a second with the Beholder’s large eye is momentarily paralyzed by the monster’s stunning gaze attack, which the beholder uses to incapacitate victims while it steals their lip balm.
Special Defenses: None
Intelligence: Very
Alignment: Evil
Size: Medium (4′ diameter)

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Love your weekly roundups 🙂
Hi, beautiful scientist. 🙂 I’m glad you like them. Part of me would prefer to do something meatier on Sundays, but I need the down time (Downton?) to unwind, and I also use the monsters and top pictures as sort of my artistic therapy/Photoshop practice for the week.
Hope you had a nice weekend.
I also loved your interview with Bobbi Brown this week. You asked some great questions.
Have fun with your family today. 🙂
Hi, sarahc. Thank you. I’d been saving up some of the questions for years. I’ve been a Bobbi Brown fan since forever. And I also got some really great questions from readers.
What have you been up to this weekend? Are you doing anything tonight? Right now I’m snapping pictures for a post tomorrow while I listen to some old-school Prince and get ready to watch The Walking Dead in a few minutes.
I really, really hope tonight’s episode is better than last Sunday’s… Needs more zombies!
Those Tom Hussey portraits are fantastic. Thanks for that!
Thanks so much for the Tom Hussey photo series – I really loved them!
