Another reason to dislike the N-word: Fertilizer overuse creates many problems, like aquatic dead zones , resource depletion and blue-baby syndrome .

A group of scientists from China, the UK and the US has been examining soil in China, where synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use increased by 191% between 1981 and 2007 (with application rates generally higher than in North America and Europe).

Mega Eyes Trio in Mojave Mauves $2.99 This trio contains 3 shades in which the lid color has a gorgeous almost metallic finish. The crease color also has shimmer but less than the lid and browbone shades. The pigmentation and lasting power of these shadows are amazing for the price. The shadows can be a bit powdery. Creme Eyeliner in Black $3.99 This creme eyeliner is an incredibly dark black and is very pigmented. Its consistency is thicker than MAC's fluidline so it is a bit less creamy, however it still glides on very nicely. It even stays put and dark on the waterline for hours. One downfall is that this product can be a bit difficult to wash off. An oil-based makeup remover is recommended. On nails: China Glaze in Spontaneous
