Bimbos unite!

Wow, this is so pretty! Love it. Enjoy!

 

[ElvenEyes]

How lovely, Miss QQ! There is nothing so fun as a box wrapped in that traditional Tiffany Blue! I love the necklace! Enjoy it!!

I am not positive what tree or trees I am allergic to, for we have wetlands across the street and conservation land behind us. I believe one is Weeping Willow and any other kind of early spring/flowering trees. Usually once everyone else is sneezing and you can actually see the yellow pollen on cars I am fine, so there is something that gets active just this time of year for about 2 months that attacks me. It definitely was not the eyeshadow, thank goodness! If we have cold winters with very dry air I am at my worse and that is exactly what we have right now.

I've just completely freaked myself out watching My Lovely Bones on cable. What a sad and heart-wrenching movie. Now I need to do something extra fun and lighten things up!

 

[LMD84]

Lou, that is fantastic news! I'm very pleased for you. No one likes working on a Sunday.

I have Naked and a cremestick whose name escapes me, which i used it all up and sent it for B2M.

Hope your allergies go away quickly, Debi! What are you allergic to?

Susanne, Chinese New Year is on the 3rd and 4th of February this year. It changes every year as it follows the lunar calendar, but it falls mainly from late January to late February. Oh, I meant that our LV stores (2 of them) is not very posh. We have 2 stores in the country, and the one that opened two years ago is slightly more posh than the other. The old store is noisy and too crowded most of the time. Every weekend, there is a queue outside to enter the store, and it can take up to 15 mins to get inside. The service of the SAs is also not fantastic and they can be arrogant or impatient sometimes.

I celebrated by birthday with my mum today at Chilis for lunch and we were both very bloated from the meal! Everything was delicious and I love dessert. Anyone tried Chilis before? And yesterday, I had lunch with my friend at the same sushi restaurant that I went last week. Hope everyone have a good week ahead!

Here is the Tiffany key necklace my mum gave me for my birthday. Of course, I was there to pick what I want! It's on a long 24" oval link chain.

oh wow!!! your key is so beautiful! i love it! i am sure you will treasure it forever! so stunning!

Debi yes that film is very sad. me and nick watched it a while ago and i cried! an brilliant film but very emotional. and enjoy your liners and let me know what you think of them when they arrive!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~No kidding. I can't get it out of my mind. I Capture the Castle begins in about 1/2 an hour. That will seem super cheery next to My Lovely Bones. As you said, a tough subject excellently done, but so emotional, especially the ending words.

I will let you know about my lip liners. I am excited to see how well they work and with which lippies as well as on their own. I also want to try some other brand stuff; more NARS, Bobbi Brown, etc. But nothing is going to compare to MAC I think. I am still amazed that I can easily wear at least 8 of their blushes when so many other brands I cannot find one for me that doesn't leave me looking like a clown! I did just order Albatross from NARS for highlighting. I am having such fun! Woe to my wallet, though! I think I heard it weeping!

 

[shadowaddict]

I really like NARS Albatross and if you want to try gel liners I find the ones from Bobbi Brown very nice. Also I really love the two liner brushes from Bobbie Brown. I use them for lining more than my liner brushes from MAC. I have the fine and ultra fine ones.

As far as BB blushes I know lots of people rave about them but for me I can't tell that they are any better than MAC, but perhaps its just me. I have some NARS shadow that I love but in general I'm a total MAC e/s person, not a big BBe/s fan either. You may find them great this is just my opinion.

Miss QQ, I love your Tiffanys necklace. I really love my Tiffany charms. I could just really go to town in there.

I totally get what you are saying. My once beloved Clinique lipsticks and eyeshadows absolutely pale in comparison to MAC. MAC has more pigmentation and staying colour and such variety. I am now afraid some BB items might actually be too washed out or not long-lasting like MAC and it costs a fortune. I also love the whole B2M idea. I feel I am paying for the product, not the packaging, and I appreciate that. Whereas Estee Lauder, while some items are quite nice, is more about fancy packaging with mirrors (handy, but not needed when you can pick up a cheap compact with 1x-3x to it) and less about having lots of shades I can work with. I do like having some variety to my makeup collection, but I draw the line at certain things. I want it to all be something I will wear in the next few years, not just to hang out in a drawer. I really appreciate your input!

Yeh I love the B2MAC program too for many reasons. I like that they recycle and I feel like I am "rewarded" for being a loyal customer It's such a nice little treat and great for the enviroment also.

yes b2m is very good. although in the uk we can only get lipsticks rather than glosses and shadows too but this doesnt bother me. i like lipsticks!

Hey everyone, I'm back!

Had a good weekend - no job offers unfortunately, but there are a couple of schools that were very interested and will be contacting us over the next few weeks/months if anything opens up. It's tough, because Jerome and I have really similar qualifications, so they have to have 2 similar positions available!! For now, we keep looking...but it was a good weekend overall, and we made some really great contacts

 

[LMD84]

well i hope that people get back in contact with you soon. or if not at least it was good experiance just having interviews and also you have now met people so hopefully they will contact you agian if other positions come up it'll happen dont worry!

work is very quiet again - hence why i have time for a lunch break to go on specktra!! i shall go food shopping after work today to get more healthy food

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~Yes, I will have a blast experimenting with the liners! It will be fun seeing what matches up with what! So cool that we both are getting into NARS. My only complaint is that the display at Sephora is very deceiving. The makeup is deep in these lit up shelves and the colours look a lot lighter until you come home! I have now learned whatever I buy in the store I will have to peek at them under different lighting before buying. Very deceiving! So far I have in blushes Mata Hari, Deep Throat and Angelika. On the way is Albatross and Orgasm. Any suggestions for a NW15? What skin tone are you? I also ordered about 5 or 6 lip glosses...lipsticks and glosses are my weakness!! I haven't bought any lipsticks yet. Are they nice? I wish we were close by so we could shop together. You and everyone here! That would be crazy fun! Thank goodness for online shopping, too!

Jen~I hope you hear soon about a perfect job situation for the both of you! As Lou said, whatever the outcome at least you are getting experience from interviews and looking about, as well as being able to define what you want and need the most, too. The right jobs will come up without doubt! The best of luck to you!

I have a million chores and errands to run before the double snowstorms hit tomorrow and Wednesday. It is rather freaky when they tell us this could be the worst storm in decades. Um....we just had one. Another record breaker in less than 2 weeks? Noooo. I have goodies coming in the mail!! Not again! The poor UPS man!

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, ladies! I love the key and will treasure it!

Over here I can only exchange for lipsticks in the mac B2M program too. Nars have very pretty and amazing colours. I have a few items and I love them. Too bad Nars is not available here, not even at Sephora.

I watched the lovely bones in the cinema. Debi, if you like the film I think you will like the book even more. I read the book and the film was a little disappointing, but I guess they can't put in all the details into the short film time.

Glad you had a great weekend. Like the others said don't let this get you down just keep at it. The right situation will come around, probably when you least expect it.

I'm so excited. I officially Dazzleglassed today! I went for a soft lilac look with Pervette lipstick and Like Venus Dazzleglass. Ah, the pictures do not do the glitter justice! lol But what a lovely shine and shimmer these give off! Now I need to find the perfect satin/matte violet lippy! Nothing fancy, and my hair is frizzing out from the dry air, but it does give a pretty everyday look!

well i'm nc20 in skin tone but i think that the orgasm line suits most skin tones such pretty colours! i even have the nail polish! and that does suck about the lighting in store. sadly though nowhere sells nars in a store near me so i have to order from the site blind! however swatches here on specktra always help heaps! in fact lincoln kinda sucks all around for make up shopping! and i shall be getting deep throat blush next! oh and i have just read that in synch and naked liners will be coming back out in april!! you need to buy them!

and you look lovely in your picture as usual! such sparkly lips!

work went very slow for me today but we took quite a bit of money which makes me very happy so we are now up on target for the week. it always helps if the first few days you do well!

Ooh, come to my house and play! We have a mall about 40 minutes away with a Pro MAC, Macy's, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Bath and Body Works and a Sephora! We could go insane and broke together!! Synch and Naked liners. Must put on my every growing wishlist!!

I'm glad your workday was fruitful, even if it did go slowly. Hubby is swearing at his computer again. End of month is stressful and even more so when he is doing the job of 8 people. I want to drag him away, but not sure how lucky I will be. I really need to get out of this house and town before the storms. I need an adventure of sorts!!

 

[shadowaddict]

I agree Lou, Orgasm blush is quite pretty. I have the duo Orgasm/Albatross, not sure if this is still available. If so it is a great deal as I love them both. I'll have to check out the nail polish. For reference I'm NC15.

 

[shadowaddict]

ElvenEyes, that mall sounds like heaven. I would love to play there also, maybe without all your snow. We never get much here but we've had more this year. East TN always gets hit harder, but nothing like you guys.

We are finally going to get a Nordstrom in spring of 2012. We do not have Lord & Taylor wither. That would be great.

 

[JennsJewelz]

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone Jerome and I had a really good weekend together and it was all a good experience, and now we have a chance to look into going to Japan together again, which was always our dream!

Debi, you look lovely, as always
