Fun! I have yet to go into ours. I keep planting myself at the Pro Mac store. But here is some interesting info. I convinced hubby to bring me back tonight (yes, I did a bit of a pre-snowstorm haul!) and as we passed through Macy's they had all the MAC stuff packed up, the shelves taken apart, boxes of MAC on carts to be rolled away and the girl who worked that area was working at the MAC Pro store. Hmm... Is Macy's no longer going to carry it or are they just moving it around? Very odd and no one around to ask about it. The MAC store itself was a blast, especially when I tried to ferret out a new lippy and almost every one that caught my eye was something I already have! I guess I know my taste! I did end up with one brush and 2 lippies in Brave and Plumful. Then I skipped off to Sephora...land of happiness! As we were leaving we passed a salon I had long since forgotten about that sells OPI, so yes, bought a few of those, too! A fine evening all aroiund and now we are expecting about 2 feet of snow, with 3 1/2 already on the ground. Driving small New England winding roads with snowpiles is like driving through a constant tunnel and praying no deer or cars come flying out. Always an adventure!!

That sounds like such fun!! Thank you for the compliment! I must be doing something right as I relearn my techniques since the MAC saleslady complimented my eyes and I had to point out what shadows I wore and where, since she liked the mix. Good thing it was all MAC!!Thanks for the well-wishes, everyoneJerome 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

lol They sound so cute! I would love watching them play!
I only have Nars Deep Throat blush and I love it. It is pigmented and finely milled. I also like the fine glitters. I'm NC20 and I passed Orgasm because my friend who is NC25 says Orgasm doesn't show up much on her. I didn't get to try it on as it is not available here, she helped me to buy it overseas.
I want to go to Japan too! I had sushi again today to celebrate my birthday. Imagine all the great food we can eat in Japan! But I heard that sushi in Japan is expensive too, and their standard of living is very high.
Went to the mac counter today to decide on which lipstick I will get for the b2m. Sadly, Hue is not carried in my country!
I have shortlisted Pinkydee, Lovelorn and Hug Me, which are all lustre (my favourite). Which do you ladies recommend? Are there any Amplified creams that are must haves too?

Happy birthday, Miss QQ! The cost of living in Japan is pretty high, but the teaching positions cover a lot of your expenses and pay well so that you're able to save. Plus, Jerome is fluent in Japanese It would be sooo much easier for us there than in a country where neither of us speaks the language! Sushi shouldn't be that expensive - fresh fish is everywhere, and Jerome can actually make us fresh sushi - restaurants might be expensive in some spots, but we aren't looking at the heart of Tokyo, either
I've heard good things about Hug Me, and Lovelorn is one of my all-time favourite pinks! I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, though.
Lou, that suuuucks about Sephora!!! And Jerome and I need to teach abroad together - we would never survive apart for two months at a time. It's hard enough being apart for a week or two!

yeah i had to manage for about 3 weeks without nick last year and that sucked. it was because he had to go and work in a different city. and that is awesome that Jerome speaks Japanese! i'm always impressed when people can speak different languages because i find it so hard. i speak basic french and that is it. but when we go to fance it is enough to get us by, nick can only say random phrases that he learned at school like 'i have a sister' and 'i live in lincoln'! lol!Happy birthday, Miss QQ!

i hauled my peacocky goodies today! yay! i hope that they arrive very soon so i can play with them!
lol We are having a complete whiteout right now. It is snowy like mad and this is the smaller of the two storms!
Lou~Congrats on hauling the Peacocky collection! You must be thrilled!! I hope it arrives quickly for you. I think I would have a breakdown if Leo was away for several months. I didn't even like it too much when he would go away for a week, but his company no longer does that and now they have conference calls all the time, so he even works from home a lot. Other times I am shoving him out the door for some "me" time!
Miss QQ~Happy Birthday! I hope it is magical!! I will let you know how Orgasm shows up on me when I get it. I am a NW15, so I have feeling it will be quite noticeable. I did pick up Sex Apeal last night at Sephora and plan to wear that today and see how it works. It looks to be a soft peach colour, very earthy and hopefully good for my pale skin. I am so slow and lazy...haven't done my face yet but no rush as we can't get out anyhow!
Favourite lippies of mine are Hue, Pink Plaid, Angel, Sweetie, Shy Girl, Please Me, Creme de la Femme....I've gone lipstick crazy! Lovelorn is either here somewhere hiding or in the mail working its way to me!
I plan to do housework now and mellow out, read, watch a movie and relax later! But now that I know where to buy loads of OPI I plan to make a wish list from off their site and keep an eye out for some desired colours!!

Being NC15 Orgasm shows up very much on me.
Love OPI also.
Love OPI also.
yup i am hoping that my package will arrive on thursday! that way i will get it the same day people buying it in the shops will hee hee!
i've had a very nice day just chilling out and cleaning. although i was sat sorting out my music for a very long period of time. i have a crazy amount of cds but it actually took so long finding the disc and then ripping it to the pc that i actually downloaded the songs instead! it's not illegal if you own it already right?! much quicker for me even though the sound quality isnt as good. i just need it to go on my iphone

I'm so old school. While I have some ripped to my computer the rest are still sitting in their plastic cases in CD towers because I have a nice stereo system and 2 Bose radios that sound wonderful. The hundreds of CD's is getting insane, but not as bad as my tarot, book and DVD collections! Actually, I think my makeup has surpassed my CD collection now!
Today, huddled inside (it has been snowing heavily for 8 hours), I've been cleaning, organizing and washed my makeup brushes that needed it. I place them on one of those containers so the air gets to them from all corners!

ooohhh lovely brushes! and yes that is a good idea placing them on a tub to dry. usually i brush them on a towel so they are slightly damp and then let them hang off the edge of my vanity table
i'm very tired at the moment, i was up late watching fringe which was bad! i'm now yaning all over the place! i think i shall have a cup of tea in hope the caffine wakes me up a little!

That is a good idea. I so wish I had a vanity with oodles of storage! But I think I am doing well with my organization and pics may be going up soon. My collection is a lot smaller than most people, but I have only been at it for 1 month with a wee bit of spillover from things I already have and not expired yet! I am picky, too. Whatever I buy I have to use!! I've done good damage on my CC!
This must be the day of exhaustion. I was up until 1am reading and got up way to early. It is snowing and sleeting out, with freezing rain mixed in. This is supposed to go on until midnight. Then another storm on Saturday and another on Tuesday! Just for fun I took a picture of our walkway after Leo dug us out last night. So now add another 8 inches to this and you have an idea of how snowed in we all are. And sure enough, UPS is bringing me goodies from MAC and Sephora at some point to day. I feel for them! This winter is an insane as our summer was. This past summer we received super hot weather and no rain whatsoever. Crazy!
jeez Debi the snow is insane where you are!! not good at all!
today my day was a bit stressfull. some guy kept saying that he could see double images on his tv so when i got him to come into the store with it i looked at it and the tv set was fine! but he kept insisting that he could see two images!! in the end i had to ask a random other customer to see what they thought and they said it was fine too. then the guy looked confused and said that it must be his eyes!! so freaking strange! but luckily he packed up his tv and left again!

Well, that sounds pretty freaky to me! Either he is drinking or popping something he shouldn't or it is time for him to get his eyes checked. When I was younger I had a lazy eye and if I concentrated on something close up to me my eyes would cross a little and I would see things double or in the wrong place! A few exercises and eyes grew strong as I grew a few years older. Never a problem after that! But you wouldn't have known it. I mean, I didn't cross my eyes when I looked at people, unless I was being goofy! You get all kinds of people in retail, yes? Always an adventure!jeez Debi the snow is insane where you are!! not good at all!

My lip pencils have arrived, along with a few other fun goodies. And this time the UPS man didn't not throw it against the garage door. That was yesterday. It isn't my fault he has to work in the middle of blizzard-like conditions!

Lou, that is so strange!!!! :S
Debi, we don't have that much snow, but it's definitely snowing hard here right now! Stay cuddled and warm and play with makeup

LOL PLay with makeup. Absolutely! Hehehe... The house is pretty cozy, but then there isn't any wind and the snow is insulating us, too, like a down blanket!! This storm seems to be over and I can even see clouds trying to break up. So, now we have about 4 feet of snow on the ground with another storm coming on Saturday. Skiers must be in heaven right now! At least the house is all clean now and I can keep working on my makeup storage. I need more space. lol I need a makeup room!Lou, that is so strange!!!! :S
