^^ Enjoy! Sounds like a perfect winter holiday.

Lou, what a great mac gift! Especially the pigment in chubby jar!

I just received a call from the Sony store where I bought the tv and they told me there is a price adjustment today. The set I bought went from $3719 to $2499! The SA said they cannot refund me, but will let me buy $1418 worth of other items. Originally there is a free PS3 set but now with the new lower price, I will not be getting the PS3, but that is all right since I already have one (my brother's set) and rarely use it. Lou, do you have any nice Sony products to recommend? I want a dvd player, but it doesn't cost $1418 I believe. The money converts to about $680 pounds.

wow that is a huge reduction! congrats! i would suggest getting a blu ray player - the bdps470 model would be good. in the uk it costs £200. you will need a hdmi cable to go with it and they range in price and i would get a middle quality one. Then if you still have spare cash mabe you could get a surround sound speaker kit to go with it? you can get ones with a blu ray player built in actually which would kill two birds with one stone. the bdve370 model is awesome! and the blu ray players play normal dvd's of course! i hope that helps!

that is really nice that they rang you and offered you that, in NZ it would be tough bikkies, you got the tv when before it was on sale

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I thought they are nice too, but of course I wish they would give me the cash back! I bought it only 5 days before the price reduction. Now if I were to buy a large item I may have to top up some money too.

Lou, thanks for your suggestions. Off to do some research.

It's finally Friday! It's cold here so I'm wishing for some wine.

and yes it is really good that they offered you to spend money on other things. sony and terrible at letting us know what new offers are coming out so the chances are the staff had no clue what was going to happen. at my store if we know something will be reduced within a few days we let the people know so we let them have the item at the cheaper price early. if it happens after they have paid we let the customers either have the money back, or if it's a large amount we let them have other goods with the money like you are getting

i'm going to nick's work party tonight. it's james bond themed but i am just wearing a pencil skirt, pretty top and heels. but i shall wear gold eye make up and gold nail polish - goldeneye and gold finger! get it?! hee hee!

 

[Miss QQ]

Lou, can we play CDs with the BDP S370 and S470 or are they only Blu Ray disks and DVDs? What about models like BDV IZ1000W, E970W and E370? Is it only DAVV-TZ130 can support CD and DVD and blu ray?

oh all of them will play music cd's is iz1000 is a lovely kit - really nice looking, great power but quite pricey for what it is. but certaintly the best looking sound kit we do. i think perhaps the e970 is a different model to what we have... we have the 870 which has stand up speakers rather than small ones but ultimately it's the same as the e370

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks! I really like to get one, they are very useful and look sleek in the photos. My brother wants a notebook though, so perhaps I will top up more money or purchase my blu ray player later on. Tomorrow I will go down to the store after my tv is delivered.

Have a great weekend ladies! How's the Christmas gift shopping coming along? Lou, have you received your lost parcel?

I want to go to Sephora to look at the MUFE Rock Forever sets that have arrived today, but I heard that they are all sold out. I like the aqua eyes liner set and I hope I can get my hands on it.

 

[Susanne]

Have a great weekend!

We will have our teacher's christmas party tonight and tomorrow is the party for my best friend's 30th birthday.

So christmas shopping has to wait until next week!

i hope you have a nice party weekend Susanne! sounds like fun!

i had nick's xmas party last night but it was rather poor to be honest. the food was bad, not many people made it due to the snow and ice. the previous years were much better

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I really need to get to Sephora AND Ulta and poke around... It's been too long!

I've been kind of on a involuntary no-buy but recently I've gotten some R&R blushes, some new shampoo/conditioner to try, a couple of nail polishes and Sephora monopoly!!!

Hope you girls have a great weekend!

How was your two parties, Susanne? Hope you had a blast!

Lou, sorry about the poor party. Bad food at parties spoil the atmosphere. Great that you got your lost parcel and sent it out.

I love my new tv! I watched the last half an hour of Stardust (I missed all the earlier parts) and it was nice. I haven't watch the movie before but the last part is good, so I will try to watch the full movie. I forgot to try out the 3D until today, when I watched Iron Man. The 3D effect from the tv was very mild since the show (from my local tv station) wasn't in 3D, but it was fun! The 40-inch is good and big enough for my living room and I'm pleased. Luckily I didn't buy the 46-inch. My only complain is that the sound isn't very nice, so I'm thinking if I should get a sound system with the blu ray. I didn't buy the blu ray because my brother picked a notebook. I will now consider if I will buy just a blu ray or blu ray with sound system.

It is also internet enabled! So I watched youtube on the tv. Are the other internet video channels free for viewing too?

I also managed to purchase the MUFE Aqua Eyes set. The metal tin box is gorgeous and I like the set, but the pencils are very tiny so it is quite pricey. I have some pics for comparison, but I can't upload them here now at the new Specktra. How do I do that?

It is much smaller than the UD mini 24/7 that comes with BoS. The other sets from the Rock For Ever are pretty too. I like the eyeshadow palette too.

With mini 24/7 (new & unsharpen)

[LMD84]

yay! im pleased you love your tv! it really is an awesome set! but yes i get what you are saying about the speakers. because the tv is so thin the speakers are tiny and can be a little tinny. so yes a surround sound kit could be good for you we have recently reduced the price of the htas5 kit which doesnt have a blu ray player in but it's from £400 to £200. perhaps it has been reduced in your country too?

and thanks for the mufe pics! the pencils are tiny! smaller than i thought but i would still love the kit how is the pigmentation with the pencils? all good?

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, I will check out the htas5.

The MUFE pencils are really tiny but they look adorable. I like the design of the box too. I didn't swatch them as I thought they would be like the full sized ones. When I use them I will let you know!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. I couldn't sleep again last night. My Monday blues manifests itself through insomia.

Two more weeks till Christmas!

I'm back from the Austrian alps in one piece! My legs hurt, so is my body... but we had so much fun and skied a lot. It's quite depressing to come back to this crappy icy conditions we have here.

I still need to get some Xmas presents, including hubby's. I'm getting him a new GPS this year. He already bought me mine and I've already used them on the weekend *lol*

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Welcome back! Have a good rest! Skiing looks so fun, I hope I have the chance to ski one day!

i'm pleased you had a great time! it sounds like you had lots of fun! i have bought nick some good quality wireless headphones as his main gift this year. but have also bought him lots of books and bits that he wanted. including a candle that he loves the smell of

Glad you had a great time.. It's super icy here too. On the way home today my boyfriend and I slid sideways in the lane we were in... Needless to say it was pretty scary. Also, he had fallen asleep (been sick and he hasn't slept in a couple days ) and I woke him up freaking out... It was kind of funny looking back at it now.

I went to Ulta today and hauled a little bit.. Including finding Revlon Perplex nail polish! I bought four of them--one for me and three to give away in a blog giveaway. I was so excited to find them I figured I'd get some extras to do that with.

I also got several other nail polishes, some eye liners, some new mascara to try... Hope in a Jar (to try for the first time)... It was a pretty decent haul

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Enjoy your haul! Is Revlon Perplex hard to find? We don't have it here. Only the perm or common products from Revlon are sold here.

awesome! i look forward to your thoughts on the pencils and i cant believe it is only 12 days until christmas! crazy! and amazon haven't delivered the gifts i bought a couple of weeks ago. but i think its because royal mail are seriously back logged from when we had lots of snow!

I use the bronze, 10L, today and it is very pigmented. It glides on my eyelids. I have the full sized 18L and it can be quite hard sometimes. Indeed I didn't realise it is 12 more days till Christmas! The gifts you bought for Nick are nice! What smell was the candle you bought? I was sniffing at the Yankee candles two weeks ago and I like a few of them but I couldn't decide on which, so I pass.

we dont have those revlon polishes in the uk either what is special about them?

and i'm pleased that it's pigmented. if a couple are harder i can always warm them in my hands first i guess and the smell i got for nick was danish butter coookie which is part of the world journy series. my current fave is frosty air which is minty and vanilla however annoyingly it's a usa exclusive and i cant get a large size version in the uk! only the small one! christmas cookie is also amazing smelling! i've been going yankee crazy recently! hee hee!

i hope everybody has a good day. i'm on my day off and i'm getting my highlights done which is nice. it is well needed! then afterwards i shall go to town and do some food shopping and then back home to relax yay!
