Bimbos unite!

[ElvenEyes]

@shadowaddict~I promise to take pictures once it is fully organized. I am organizing three sections in my house at the same time, right now, so it is chaotic! But I slept well and am almost ready to get started...after I have breakfast!

@Miss QQ~I think I tried Kenzo once, but not the one you have. Mine was a floral and very clean, crisp scent, so I did not care for it. I hope this one works well for you on your skin. That is always the biggest test!

@Lou~People thought the same with me and it was annoying. I ate like a pig, never made myself sick or anything remotely like that. It was all metabolism and I was also diagnosed with malabsorption. I was in pediatrics for 2 weeks having every test under the sun done to see what was wrong with me. One showed I my body was not absorbing fat. Haha..not a problem now! Stress was another factor and still is. Whenever I am sick or stressed out I lose about 10 pounds really fast, so I always want to have some extra weight on me. I have to take meds for my stomach daily, so this is a lifelong thing and why I have to be careful not to diet drastically, but very slowly.

@Sojourner~lol Sheen, satin, luster, maybe a little gloss, or diamonds? A glittery necklace or a sequined clutch bag? I bet you own something shimmery, somewhere! There is a little bimbo in all of us!!!

It is -12F this morning! I have on many layers and plan to keep busy to stay warm. I have some fingerless gloves in the other room that might come in handy today! Have a fun day, everyone!

 

[Miss QQ]

Hi Sojourner!

Lou, enjoy your work!

Debi, I think I may have malabsorption too since I eat lots of small meals everyday but the nutritions doesn't grow into flesh on my body. lol. Stay warm! And it turns out I don't have the vial of L’Eau de Kenzo Amour. When I got home, I gave a check and I got the vial of Kenzo Amour, which is annoying because the mailer said that I would get a vial of the new scent, L’Eau de Kenzo Amour, but they gave me Amour instead. Now I don't even know the scent on paper is which Kenzo!

It reached 2 degrees here, today. Yippee! Heat wave coming in tonight. It may go up to 10F, but I am not holding my breath!

Lou~I can't wait to see it when it is done, too! lol I have stuff all over my bed and bathroom counter and den floor. I am cleaning and organizing five areas all at once. But I have claimed yet another drawer and have set up all my little tubs, moving around items, getting things together with room to grow (for all that Dazzleglass and other fun stuff!). So, I feel like I am getting something accomplished.

In the meantime there are plows going up and down the roads, pushing back the snowbanks to make way for Wednesday's storm. This is never a good sign! And there is no question about it. I need a light-up makeup mirror. Any suggestions? I would love a pretty oval one, but I have a feeling the other ones are better. I will be standing, so I need it to swivel. This carrying makeup in and out of the bedroom to bathroom is insane. They are attached, but by a long hallway! I want a vanity table, but this would at least be a start!

 

[shadowaddict]

I used to love my lighted makeup mirror and vanity. Since my eyes went to hell in a handbasket after I hit 40 I need the magnifying mirror 7X.

The bathroom off our bedroom is seperated so tha the toilet and tub are in one section and alarge vanity and linen closet in the other. It is such that I could put a stool or chair in the middle but I have put storage drawers there to contain all my cosmetics. There are rows of lights down each side of the mirror and I keep it very bright and the mirror is attached to the wall (not so attractive) so very easy to use. Also there is a window there that I open the blinds for extra light. Even though the vanity part is seperate I keep two things of Damp Rid in there to keep moiture ay bay.

So far I don't need glasses...knock on wood! But I am sure the day will come. Your setup sounds ideal! Our lighting isn't bad in the bathroom, but it isn't the greatest. We also have a huge mirror mounted on the wall that goes up to the ceiling and across the entire double counter top and sink in the middle. We each have a side that contains one drawer and one cabinet. But mine is full of my hair/bathing/face washing products, lotions, etc. No room for makeup. The carousel fit on the top of the counter, but the shower is about 5 feet away. I had to move it too often and was going batty. Now that I have it moved in the bedroom I am getting everything set up nicely. Three drawers of cubbies, my carousel and containers for brushes, perfumes, palettes all on my bureau where I have another huge mirror. I just need one light up one and I am set! I dragged my husband out into -7F weather to look at a Conair Reflections and started to giggle. It was so small, yet 50.00. For that amount I want to see my whole head, thank you very much! I hope I have better luck in the future! Now I am on a quest!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Hello! My bathroom is tiny so I can't buy any makeup inside. Makeup is stored in my room. I'm shortsighted (about 300 degrees) so I put the mirror very near to me when I do my eyes.

Debi, is it warmer there? Stay warm! I sprayed my vial of Kenzo Amour floral and didn't like it - too floral. Must try L’Eau de Kenzo Amour and the original Kenzo Amour.

Enjoy the VD, Susanne!

Enjoy JS, Lou! Glee season 2 episode 1 will start showing on my cable tv tonight!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Nope! It is -9 now and dropping! They are predicting 12-17 inches of snow starting Wednesday afternoon. If it happens I don't know where we will put it! More importantly, I have orders from MAC and Sephora coming in a few days!

I just did my nails in Sally Hanson's Commander in Chic. It is a grey-plum creme and looks like mud. Which is very in right now, so I am feeling very funky and chic!

yes we have two bathrooms in our house and both are on the small side. i think it is more of an american thing to have really big bathrooms perhaps? when we have stayed in hotels in the states the bathrooms are usually the size of my make up room which is crazy! and where we last stayed the bathroom was so big it was the size of our bedroom!! and it had a hot tub in it! freaking crazy!

Debi i did tweet this to you but in case you dont see it - i have a revlon mirror that has lights. it is small but a nice size for me and also it has a magnified side if you flip it i think it is called the hollywood mirror or something. and your polish sounds lovely!

nick has just left for work so i shall now start to do some housework! i can get it out of the way so i can relax. i have to take my grotty toe to the dr though! i have had an ingorwn toenail and thought it would sort itself out - but it's not! i shall spare you the details but i think it is infected which is not good at all!

 

[ElvenEyes]

@Lou~Thanks for the recommendation! I will look into it. I thought this would be so easy, but noooo! Sorry about the ingrown toenail. I have had those and once had an infection. They really hurt. You never realize how much we use our toes to grip when walking until one is hurting and red and puffy and ow! They had me soak it regularly in warm water and something...epson salts maybe?? I hope it heals quickly.

I do oddly love my mud nail polish! I bought quite a few neat colours last night so excited about trying them out! We had another inch of snow during the night. Then we await to see how much we get out of the big storm coming. This is a busy day for selling some books and maybe shopping, but I really want to just mellow out and watch movies all day! Too much to do...maybe tonight if I am lucky!!

 

[Miss QQ]

That is a lot of snow! I've never seen real snow before.

Watched Glee 2, and I'm underwhelmed by the first episode. I hope I like the later episodes.

What state/country do you live in Miss QQ? I wish you were here to play in the snow! It is warmer...almost 20 out now. Just perfect for skiing and sledding! I am feeling a possible haul coming on. Hehehehe..... And trying to figure out what stores around here might carry light up mirrors. Gah...this is frustrating! However, I look cute. I am all cranberry and pink eyes to go with my mud nail polish. lol

Yeh after I hit 40 everything started to go, don't even want to know what 50 has instore for me in two years.

When we bought this house we're in now in 1994 I sould just use the big mirror. Then I had my huband attach one of those pull away from the wall ones with 5X on one side and regular on the other. That lasted a while and then I had to buy one with the 7X magnification. Hopefully I won't have to go up from this one.

We have a large counter top also but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. I have these little 3 drawer storage things lined up. They are not very tall so I have one on top of another. Right now I just have the four but then I have brush holders and another thing for foundation and a few blushes and lippies. I also have a dvd storage rack that fits the 15 palettes perfect. I think I saw this on one of Encore's youtube videos. It's perfect and doesn't take up very much space, they just slide right in, and it was cheap. He got it at The Container Store but we don't have one near and their shipping was high. I ordered it from somewhere else, can't remember. This is what it looks like:

Oh and Lou sorry to hear about your toe. Those can be so painful. The warm salt water will help. It seemed that was my mother's cure for everything, hot salt water. If I had a sore throat or tooth then gargle with it. If I had anything else sore then soak it in it. She was right it actually helped most times.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Well, I hauled. And found a mirror!! Now I have to set it up! I have a letter holder coming in the mail that I hope will work well for my 15 hold palettes. I am hoping I will have it by the weekend. Things are getting there! And it is warming up...12F! Yay! But the plows keep coming by, moving the snowbanks back. That means more snow. It seriously is looking like Alaska right now!

 

[Miss QQ]

very pretty! what lip product are you wearing? i love that pink!!

Yes, Debi what's the pretty colour on your lips? I'm from tropical asia, singapore.

Lou, I'm disappointed. I agree with you, the first episode of Glee 2 was just about that. And the physical appearance of the cast such as Rachel, Finn have changed, not sure how to put it but it doesn't feel like they are the same character as season 1.

yes! they have totally changed! esp the girl who plays Rachel - she has lost so much weight since the first season. i liked the show because they all looked like normal average teenagers - not so much anymore! the britney episode which i think is next for you is particularly bad - no storyline whatsoever!!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Yes that is how I feel, you took the words out of my mouth. They don't look like average teenagers anymore. Next week is Britney. I'm disappointed to hear that.

Hope your toe is hurting less soon.
