Bimbos unite!

Very pretty Debi! You will definitely be loving Quite Cute and Surf Baby It's totally OK if not every collection catches your eye - more saving for others!!

On another note, I am SO SORE today. The gym kicked my butt. Oh my goodness. Off to soak in epsom salts!!!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Oh oh! Good stuff, yes? lol I am in trouble!! Anything you recommend by them, in particular?

Debi, I'm a Chanel fan so I love pretty much everything. lol. But their lipsticks and lipglosses are the most amazing and addictive IMO. Hope you see you at the Chanel thread! Very pretty fotd, thanks for sharing! Luckily I don't have access to Nars, if not it will drain all my money too lol!

Hello, Anneri! Welcome!

Sally - Great to see you again! Good luck with the job hunt! I'm also looking for one. I agree with what Lou said, try to save a little more now so you can be out of work for a while if you really don't like the current one. Which print do you want for your Speedy?

Other ladies saving for a Speedy - which print do you have your eyes on? I'm just curious and living vicariously through you!

Jen~After reading lots of posts here I am noticing that some people skip collections that just don't speak to them, so that is good to know. Tough Love didn't have a thing I wanted. WW very little. So, I am learning to be patient and save for when a collection, be it MAC or something else, really catches my eye and has colours I know I want. I did order all the glosses from that Lightfully Bright collection though, because they were exactly what I was looking for.

Miss QQ~Whenever I check out a new line it is the lipsticks I check out first! I have found throughout my life that a different colour lipstick makes all the difference in an entire look and even if I don't wear any eye makeup (believe it or not I didn't wear any on my wedding day) I will always grab blush, lipstick and put perfume on. I had to scan this photo (I am old...long before FB, long before AOL, long before digital cameras!), my wedding day, almost 18 yeas ago, with just Loreal Blush in Bebe, and Revlon Lipstick in Mirrored Mauve! I was so afraid that I would rub my eyes and end up looking like a raccoon or something and stain my dress!

A beautiful and perfect picture!

It is timeless and I'm sure it brings back sweet memories to you! You have the same hairstyle as now! You are gorgeous and so right to go without eye or any heavy makeup. I've seen a lot bridal photos in my country where the brides have too much makeup on and they don't look like who they are, and added years to their actual age! Tell me how you like the Chanel lipsticks when you try them!

And I have decided I may B2M Angel l/s instead too! What a tough decision. I will make up my mind when I'm at the counter and try the l/s on. I've seen the Lightfully Bright lipglosses and they are very beautiful! I was tempted to buy them but then I have to watch my spending now so I pass.

Speaking of perfumes, what did you have on for your wedding? I think you said before but I forgot. I was at Sephora last Saturday to smell Gucci again and a SA was there. She said I shouldn't try Gucci Gucci but Gucci Guilty or Floral instead. She said the other two are nice, so I asked, is Gucci not nice. lol. So the SA replied that it's not that it is not nice, but too mature. Then I said I've tried the other two but didn't like them. I don't like it when SAs tell me what I should or shouldn't wear. Scents are very personal.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Thank you! I wore Vanderbilt that day. I kept the whole thing simple and very down to earth and so glad I did. I designed the dress and the veil, my sister sewed it for me. Yes, my hair is the same...with a few white strands creeping in, though I have had it short a few times ( a bob) but prefer it longer so I can do more with it. And I added about 50 pounds, sadly! lol The curse of age and hormones!

Angel is a very pretty colour l/s, but you can swatch things on you when you get there. Just bring a list as well as look at stuff that interests you. During my last visit I kept pulling out l/s that attracted my eye only to find out I already have them! I guess I know my taste! Let us know what you end up getting! I love the idea of trading in for a l/s. I have to remember to keep packaging, though it will probably be a long while before I will have anything to do this with! I wonder what I will empty first? Probably brush cleaner bottles!!

Off to bed. I have no idea why I am up so late!! I'm exhausted!

Gorgeous wedding pic ElvenEyes, so pretty and sweet.

I couldn't remember which NARS blushes you said you have but here is a link of their duos that are available. They have Albatross with 3 different blushes so if there is one you like and don't have and want to get Albatross its a great deal. I have the Orgasm/Albatross duo and love it. I got mine at Sephora a year or so ago and its no longer on their site. Its good you can still get that on the NARS site as I'm sure it is quite popular. The others look pretty also. Hungry Heart is really calling my name. They have free shipping on $25 now, usually its $50.

oh Debi you look so beautiful in your wedding picture! fabulous!

i hope all bimbos are set to have a great weekend! i wont be doing much because i am working tomorrow as usual but obviously i have Sunday off! but nick and me and just going to take it easy, go for a walk around the village and sit and watch movies it'll be nice for us

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I'm going to take it easy this weekend too, by just watching tv and doing nothing much. I'll do more depotting of my mac e/s! Now the 15 palette still has only 6 e/s inside. Any nice movies recently? I may watch Hereafter next week.

Debi, thanks for the tips at the mac counter. At the counter, I keep picking up the same l/s I that want too, so I noted them down. I have decided most probably I will not get Angel because I just found out it is a frost. If I can bring in 12 old items I will be able to get 2 l/s! Yes, you are right, I used to go through the brush cleaner bottles very quickly! They will empty first!

Enjoy the weekend, Bimbos!

 

[LMD84]

yup i go through lots of the brush cleaner! but it is very good and a must have in my opinion. i tend to wash my brushes once a week. once i have used a brush it goes into a dirty brush pot! hee hee!

and i saw the black swan a couple of weeks ago and that was awesome! i highly reccomend it

 

[Susanne]

Yay, it is weekend! Thanks for sharing your pics, Debi!

I will have to do a lot of work for school on Sunday - but tomorrow I will go out for breakfast with two friends and want to go to Lush to check out their Valentine's soaps.

 

[JennsJewelz]

Debi, that wedding photo is beautiful!!! Quite cute will be so up your alley, it's going to be completely worth skipping And Tough Love is all permanent items, so if there was anything you liked, you could have waited for them.

Miss QQ, the other thing that runs out quickly for me are the MAC Make-up Wipes - especially the 30 packs! Normally I pick up 100, but the 30s go quickly if you're looking for something to add to a B2M

Lou, that Sunday with you and Nick sounds lovely! Jerome and I will be visiting my best friend a few cities away for Saturday night dinner, but Sunday it's homework and group project crunch time. I'm so glad it's February - I'm done school at the end of March!!!

 

[LMD84]

Well once again work has been going very slow. I have demonstrated some products to people and really dragged it out by showing them literally everything!! but still nobody has bought from me! so frustrating! but on the plus side i have just watched an episode of buffy on the sci fi channel! yay!

 

[Miss QQ]

I'll watch the trailer of Black swan later on and see if I like it.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Oh yes, I love the makeup wipes. So handy! I bought the smaller size...I think there are 45 in them. It fits perfectly in a little crate in my bathroom drawer so will stick with that size. I heard someone say that when you buy the larger ones it sometimes dries out before you use it all. Anyone else notice that on the bigger size? I have some brushes to wash today as I got a bit funky with dark browns yesterday!! I think I am finally appreciating the word artist and the use of so many brushes.

I have a bunch of movies I want to see that I never got to the theatres for. Black Swan, Narnia, Harry Potter 7 Part 1, The King's Speech and others. I need to check cable to see if any are On Demand. I know I will buy the DVD of some, but others I want to watch first. I am forgetting some....

Tomorrow we are supposed to get hit with another monster storm, only this time it is bringing a "wintry mix". Snow, sleet and ice. Ice storms are horrible, making it impossible to go out, losing electricity, trees and branches falling. Not looking forward to it. The only good thing about all these storms is how clean and organized I am getting! Projects that have been waiting for ages are finally being attended to!

I have a few NARS blushes and a few more coming, including Orgasm and Albatross. They should be here any day now. I need to check tracking. I find some blushes I can really sweep on and others I have to learn a lighter hand for because they are so pigmented and long lasting. I don't want to look like I am running a fever all day long!! I have a few MAC ones coming too. I hope they will not be too dark. I am really stepping out of my zone!!!

oh dear - the extreme weather conditions are not good at all! luckily here in the uk it is just very strong winds at the moment. although that is never good for nick who has to ride a bike!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

This has definitely been a rough winter for us. And it isn't over. Snow on Tuesday and more on Thursday, plus tomorrow's storm. I celebrated the day by making my first elven face and posted pics over at the FOTD. It was fun, a bit rough, needs practice, but worth every minute! I just need some green lipstick. Any ideas anyone? lol I think my orders just arrived. Now...do I just go get them like this or do I wash my cute elven face off? Hubby loves it! He is working from home today.

Sorry to hear your husband is battling winds on his bike. That can't be fun! At least it isn't packed snow and ice like we have. It is treacherous just to go out and get your mail. Driving down the roads are like going through a bobsled run! This is unbelievable!

 

[MzzRach]

What a gorgeous wedding photo. You have that bride glow! And I love how you know the exact colours and brands of your lipstick and blush so many years later. You're one of us!

 

[MzzRach]

I've purchased the MAC wipes in the large size more than once and never had a problem with them drying out. Just made sure I "clicked" them closed everytime I used them.

NARS Albatross is my all time fave highlighter - it is DIVINE. I think you will really love it.

Thank you! Yeah, kinda scary that I remember it so well, but it was my all-time favourite blush and then Loreal dropped it a few years later. I thought I was going to die. It lasted all day and was a perfect colour for me. I definitely have to do a Revlon Haul. I pick up a lipstick from them on occasion but they are nice and a huge variety. Doesn't hurt that we have 3 stores in town to get some either!

That is good to know about the 100 wipes. They are so amazing. They really take it all off and I love them. I use them before I ever use my Mia, too, so that doesn't get all dirty. Has anyone ever tried the Neutrogena ones? Are they as good, better, worse, breakout? MAC's has not irritated my skin at all, yet!

Albatross just arrived with a few other goodies. I almost fainted at its beautiful snow white look! I am so getting a backup of this beauty!

 

[shadowaddict]

^^I think NARS will keep Albatross around for a long time because it is a lot of people's go to highlighter.

As far as wipes drying out. You could try every one in a while, maybe every other week turning them upside down so that the moisture doesn't just "sit" toward the bottom. The moistire should stay more balanced throughout. I store all my Fluid lines, paint pots, gel lines, anything creamy upside down.
