Ooooh, 6 15 palettes! Heaven! Seriously, I have been dreaming of MAC in my sleep these past few days! They must be gorgeous! When I went to my first MAC store on Friday night I just stood in front of the lipsticks and drooled. Then I bought 3 and plotted a bunch more to pick up next visit....which I hope will be soon, or I will just order online. It is so addicting, but I love having a different look each day and not stuck in a rut of my same routine over and over again. Even hubby is having fun seeing what I wear each day! I can think of worse things we could be addicted to!yes i have 4 of the quads that i put my all time faves in! i have a purple one, green blue and neautral one! they are good for easy access and to take when travelling anywherebut then i also have 6 15 palettes too.... i'm terrible!

Thanks, ladies. I thought, since it's a new year, why not change a new avatar. I've been very busy lately and will be in the next few weeks. After that, I will be able to slow down, I hope.
ElvenEyes, depotting isn't hard, Just search for some videos at youtube and you get lots of lessons! Your lilac coach bag is a beauty. I have a soft spot for white and light coloured bags, but they get dirty easily because I throw them around.
Lou, your 15 mac palettes must be amazing. Have you ever taken pics of all of them together? Good luck lol! They are good at keeping you in the suspense on who wins. My local LV stores (2 of them) are all right, we can wear anything and enter the stores. Besides, the stores are crowded and we have to queue, for maybe 5 to 10 mins, to enter. So I don't feel the SAs are watching me when I'm inside lol. I feel quite at ease, even though I was just looking and not buying. You should enter one next time!
Sally, I'm sorry to hear you are not happy there. How long have you been at the job? If I were really unhappy at a job even after giving myself sometime to adapt, i would leave. And it's your first job too, so don't be too hard on yourself!

@Lou~I went for some slightly richer colours (I seem to be working my way up from very pale shades to deeper tones!) so they were:
Sweetie, Creme de la Femme and Lustering!
Anyone here have Russian Red? Is it a nice cool pure red or is it orangey? I am a NW15, but look good in anything pale to rosy pink/pinkish mauves and a pure cool red. Then it starts to look scary on me!

oh those are lovely colours! enjoy them! and yes i worked my way up to bolder and darker colours for my lips
i always used to just wear sheer pink glosses but now i wear anything and i dont have russian red sadly. i think Susanne has though....

ive been at the job for a month, and it feels as tho the longer i stay here, the more upset and down in the dumps i get. ive adapted well to the job, but im just not that happy, and i feel as though nothing is challenging me - ive got no passion to get out of bed in the morning like i used to. there is a job coming up which is alot closer to all my family and bf (like 2 hours drive), which i am hoping like hell to get, but there is going to be so much competition for the job
how is everyone? sorry to be a debbie downer at the moment, im just finding it so lonely up here at the moment
^ you're not being a downer sweetie! i understand why you are so down and upset at the moment. you can vent here all you'd like!
i'm very stressed. im still 2 guys down at work and because of this it looks like i will be working 14 days straight which kinda sucks. today should be my day off too so hopefully it will go well.

boo! i hate working 14 days straight! I always have to do that since I work in events now! I just got out 2 my wisdom tooth! oh my, it was bad! My tooth are pretty well rooted & they had curvy roots making it extra hard to get out & I was trembling in fear. The twisting of the tooth the loosen it was what really freaked me out! I'm glad it's over now!

^^ Hope the soreness goes away quickly! Eat your ice creams!
Sally I hope you get the job! Don't worry, you can tell us anything here. I was ranting a lot recently too. I know what you mean, no passion getting out of bed in the mornings. Happens to me too.
Lou, sorry about the disappointment. Don't lose heart, at least you know your team was leading for 4 weeks! Hope you are not too stress at work. Here's hoping for a less stressful 2011 for everyone!
Yes, I'm lucky to get branded and high street brands at the same place, and it is only half an hour train ride from my house. That's the perks of living in a tiny country lol.

I have both, the lipstick and the lipglass - and they are red. More a yellow-based than a blue-based like MAC Red, but a great red!
I have really busy days at school again and look forward to some more free time at Saturday. I want to get my first Pandora charm this week - the one for January
A Murano glass.

Ah, thank you! Anything yellow or orange does not look good on me. I am so pale and I need to keep things fairly cool, except some browns that are soft and lean toward a taupe/pinky tone rather than something more golden. You have nice golden skin compared to me! I am a NW15 with a very porcelain skintone. One thing less to take out of my MAC basket, but that is okay, because I am plotting another palette. LOL Shame on me!I have both, the lipstick and the lipglass - and they are red. More a yellow-based than a blue-based like MAC Red, but a great red!

yes that was another stressful day! eek! and then i had to go food shopping which took a while. i did swing by comet though to have a look at the macbooks again! i swear i drive myself crazy with things - do i get the macbook or the imac? seeing as i have a netbook do i need the macbook? the imac is the same price but much more powerful!
When I quickly read macbook I thought MAC had come out with some gorgeous, thick catalogue of all their products and swatches of colours and just felt like I HAD to get to a store and get me one! Phew....good thing I read the whole thing! Unfortunately I don't know the difference between the two products but do know for some reason my computer guru nephew recently succumbed to a macbook, even though he already has some kind of notebook. Then again, he buys computers and gadgets like we buy cosmetics!

Yes, the iMac is really powerful and it looks impressive. I love how it looks, just sitting on the desktop.
I saw some magnetic strips, with one side that is stickable yesterday. However, I'm not buying it yet as it looks a little thick. I know of an art store that has a few types so I'm heading there this weekend to take a good look.
Another stressful day for me, but I've decided to start on something new. I have tendered my resignation, bimbos! I just have to serve my notice and I'm a free woman!
Here's my nails, Riva with OPI Shatter. They do look good together!

@ Miss QQ~Your nails are gorgeous! Shattered is a good name for that look! Sorry to hear so many stressful jobs going on. My husband is going insane today with work being piled on him because they keep making cuts in employees and 1 person has to do the job of about 5 or 6. It is maddening, and of course, no raise to set it off.
We are presently having a blizzard so the house is shuddering in the wind and howling about. But it can't get me down. I bought my 2nd MAC 15 palette and some gorgeous golds, greens, teals and a few others to fill it up. I think half the fun is moving the pans around until you get it just right and the other half picking out what look you want for that day and having a myriad of choices! Summer is going to be extra fun this year!!

Thanks, ElvenEyes and Lou! I need a fresh start!
The black np shatter almost instantly, in about 3 seconds. I don't own the polish, I tried it at the counter. I thought it looked dirty when I tried it last week on a single finger, but with all the fingernails like this, it looks much better and more artistic.
Hope you have a relaxing evening, Lou.
ElvenEyes, I can't wait to start moving my e/s around in the palette!
