you look lovely debi! copper colours really suit you! have you got woodwinked shadow from mac? i think you'd really like it! and that is a shame that you're not so keen on the green opulash. i agree that it doesnt look that green on you. are your lashes very dark? perhaps that is why? and yes opulash does make your lashes feel a little crispy! it's my favourite mac mascara however the crispyness is it's one downside!Tropical is a perfect word! It reminds me of heady flowers on a tropical island...a place I would not mind being right now!!
I went copper today and love the l/s which Coquette by Lancome. I also used the green mascara from MAC's WW collection, but not impressed. It wasn't very green on me and the mascara is super stiff. I can't wait to wash it off and go back to my Covergirl or Loreal mascaras. Very disappointed in it. Ah, well. Live and learn.
i had a great time last night! i was drinking tequila sunrise cocktails with the girls and we joked that the reddy orange colour matched my make up!
hee hee! i met some lovely new people too which is always good.and i even got bought a drink by one of the guys which is always nice! some of the guys found it funny that ben would invite me out with them (it was his fiance's birthday) because i'm his manager. some people just dont get how close we all are here. although i am the 'manager' we all treat each other as equals and for the most part i never have to kick their asses because they all work so well anyway. i bought his fiance some make up (she loves bright colours too!) and i also put some money in a card to go towards her wedding dress fund. she had a great night! the only downside is that i now have a big blister on my foot due to silly shoes! ouch!!i hope everybody is having a great week!

Lou, I'm so glad I made you happy! Sounds like you had an awesome night on the town
Debi, I love your look!!! So soft and pretty Too bad the Opulash didn't work out for you - return it to get your money back, if you can!!!

Too bad the Opulash didn't work out for you - return it to get your money back, if you can!!!Lou~I am so glad you had so much fun last night. I agree with Jen. Your skin is absolutely like porcelain! I wish mine was like that! I get too rosy sometimes, and of course always where I don't want to be rosy!! Thank you on the tip about Violetta! I still have to call them for the mixing media. You certainly did turn me on to purple lips! I dragged hubby out last night in sub-zero temps with wind chills around -25 to hit a bunch of stores looking for storage (did not find what I wanted) and ended up with 4 rose, orchid, plum mauve and purple coloured lipsticks from Revlon. I tried on two last night and love them!! They are actually wearable in public. Yay! I don't have Hoodwinked yet, but it is on the list! I have an empty quad to create so maybe that could be one to add to it! Thank you for the tip! I love coppers and gold because in my hair I have a lot of colours. Dark brown, medium brown, light brown, blonde, copper (like a new penny) and yes, snow white! lol Eventually I will probably get my hair coloured or highlighted and I really want to bring back out the copper colours. I think they are the strands that went white first!
Jen & Lou~I did only put one coat of the green on, but still rather disappointed. You can see it some, but not enough. I got used to the stiffness as the evening went on, but still prefer softer mascaras. I also have blue and violet. I want to try them out too. Maybe next time I will wear the green when I have green eyeshadow on and see if it shows up better. I am all for experimenting with my makeup as you can see! Wait til I get really bold!! lol My lashes are actually blonde at the tips and that is where I noticed it the most. Hubby could see the green, but up close, not when I was "in the hallway". Too funny. The hallway was dark and about 2 yards away from where he was sitting. I don't want it to be that green! Neon glowing eyelashes. How lovely! Kryptonite green? Wrong superhero!

Great that you had a good time! It's so nice have your co-worker as a close friend, it makes working much more fun! Blisters be gone - why do pretty shoes cause so much pain.i had a great time last night! i was drinking tequila sunrise cocktails with the girls and we joked that the reddy orange colour matched my make up!
i hope everybody is having a great week!
I need a cocktail too lol.
Miss QQ~Yes, I am wearing Estee Lauder Lucidity foundation in Pale Ivory.I use it sparingly and love it because it really matches my skintone and does not have any yellow in it. Most department stores foundations are too yellow for me. Other brands I usually can use are Maybelline or Loreal, but this is my absolute favourite. Goes on smooth and then dries a tad powdery, never gooky. Is gooky a word??

ElvenEyes, I agree with Lou I think Woodwinked would be very pretty on you. Next time you're in MAC check it out.
Susanne~Satin Taupe is my favourite e/s so far! It is so pretty!
Today was fun! Well, not the house cleaning part, but the calling MAC Pro part was fun! I ordered my water based Mixed Medium and Violetta l/s. I am so excited! Thank you so much for that tip, Lou! The funny thing is that they wanted to know if I wanted to order anything else. In my mind I could only thing...depends. What do you have hiding behind the counter that I cannot see?? lol
Back to dusting. I have to start watching Glee. I saw a few clips and loved it. What voices. Totally not what I thought this show was about. Must tell hubby about it. Seems every show we love gets tossed out. Eli Stone was fun. Alias was excellent until it jumped the shark, but the last episode was fantastic. Lost was great until I got lost. I think I am still in the jungle, going from one time period to another, being chased by polar bears....

you look awesome!! i'm so pleased you are rocking a bold lip! it really suits you!See what Lou has done to me? Today I went for violet eyes and used my new Wild Orchid l/s from Revlon. I am prepping for my MAC purples to arrive! Oh, and check out the zit in between my brows. Woohoo! That is what I get for playing with makeup! lol
i love how we all inspire each other here! today i had a very bad day. i cant go into much but work was very stressful for me and some guys that i was very friendly with have now lost their jobs. nobody at my store but still people that i speak to on a daily basis.
i hope everybody had a better day than what i did!Oh, Lou~So sorry to hear about your day and the loss of jobs for your friends. My husband's job is like that and each day we just hold our breath wondering who the next batch is that they will be letting go for whatever reason. A group that was large is now whittled down to just 2 1/2 people doing the job of about 8-9 people and it is so stressful. Of course, no raises either. They know everyone is just happy to have a job, but when the economy changes they will be the ones in the doghouse. My husband has lost a lot of good co-workers throughout the years, and managers, as well. I can hear him yawning in the room next to me and he still has a lot of work to do. Must feed him chocolate.
And yes, we are all bad influences on each other, in a really good way!
As for favourite cocktail, I am afraid I am boring! I don't drink at all. I love milk, water, tea! Juice when I am sick with colds. But I never cared for alcohol, except a fine white wine on occasion! My husband doesn't drink at all, either, and said he fell in love with me on our first date when we were asked what we wanted to drink first, and I blurted out "a tall glass of cold milk, please!" He said that is when he decided to marry me. lol

Lou, so sorry to hear about your friends losing their jobs. It's been such a sucky time for people. I know that is hard when you talk to someone every day and then poof they're gone
And Debi, I know what you mean, can't remember the last time my husband has had a raise and yet insurance premiums and co-pays keep increasing. But yet people call him constantly in the evening and he goes to the office almost every weekend to get stuff done. He says that's about the only time he can get stuff done because during the week he keeps getting called into meetings. He told me the other day he has a chance of going to Russia again this spring but things are so crazy at work he doesn't know if he will. And it's a freakin business trip. The prime minister of (forget what country) there has invited him back to help them. It sucks that he may have to pass.

LOL, I love this story - so cute!As for favourite cocktail, I am afraid I am boring! I don't drink at all. I love milk, water, tea! Juice when I am sick with colds.

I can't drink milk - I pretty much only using it in baking and cereal. If anything though, I'll normally stick with water or green tea Oh dear. I went shopping AGAIN. Now I must be good. Well, after the stuff arrives from MAC and MAC Pro. Another compliment on my eyes (now I am getting suspicious) and I bought a few little pans to put in my empty quad, so got Vapour, Woodwinked, Trax and Shadowy Lady, plus a single of Blackberry, because I don't have it and feel I really need it. lol And hurrah. They had tucked away the Lipgelee in Amber Russe. So excited. Then I really went wild. I went to Coach and got the Mahogany Mia pocket book I wanted. Hubby was extremely confused when they took the bag back and put it on display after I was charged. I looked at him and told him, hun...I get a fresh one. Then the guy came out from the back with my purse all wrapped up and in the fancy bag. lol Hubby usually stays out in the mall and wanders about while I shop. it was too funny.
Then I was sooo good. I completely controlled myself when I went into my very first LUSH store. Ah...the joy of yummy smells! I didn't buy a thing, though they did demonstrate a bomb for me! I have to look over their site and see what I would like and figured you all could recommend a few things to me! I have sensitive skin, love warm smell, like vanilla, coconut, sugar cookies, almond, etc. What should be my very first Lush product? Hmm.....
Jen~If I ever become lactose intolerant or can't have milk, I would go insane. It is my choice of drink at all meals, snacks, you name it. It would freak me out! That and taking away peanut butter. I could live on those two foods.

yes times are very bad and i hope that your husband will be ok. just make sure you look after him, support him and give him lots of cuddles. it cant be fun working so hard like that for no rewards. and the story about your first date is soooo cute! i swear that is the sweetest thing i have heard in a long time! you have put a big smile on my face this morning!Oh, Lou~So sorry to hear about your day and the loss of jobs for your friends.

in other news Nick was showing me some new trailers of a game online. the game is called LA NOIR and it's kind of a dectective storey based in the 1940's. i am wowed at the amount of detail in the game! they have famous actors playing some of the charactrs and they look exactly like them! they have used a special technique of filming them and importing them into the game. i told nick that it is one of the only games that he has worked on that i actually want to play!
Lou~That game sounds like fun! It amazes me how creative some people can be and others just toss out stupid games that are so alike one another. I tried one. Myst. It took up all my time. I did the first game after a bit of prompting from my nephews and gave up halfway through the second one. I think I am stuck in a swamp somewhere, trying to get up into a tree house, looking for some such article! About 10 years ago one of my nephews was playing a flight simulator game and was doing very well. He handed the game over to me. I was doing everything the opposite way and crashed a few times. Just when I thought I had it right, I could not see the landscape. I asked him where was I? Flying straight up? He started telling me what to do when a mountain came straight at me. I was flying upside down. He freaked out after I crashed and died. Poor little mite. He was only 4. He took it way to seriously while I was sitting their laughing my head off!

Debi - love the bold lips! You must be heart pain to see your husband working so hard. Take care of yourself and him! Your first date story is so cute! I'm not much of a drinker - I don't crave for any soft drinks/alcohol most of the time. And I always order warm water at restaurants lol. I don't drink coffee too but I love Starbucks cold coffee drinks with whipped cream! Glee season 1 is very enjoyable. Hope you like it!
Jenns - good to know you drink so healthily. So I guess you must eat very healthily too.
Lou - sorry to hear about your friends losing their jobs. And it is hard at where you are working now too, having to do more and more work. About cocktails, I don't really drink them, but only once in a blue moon. I feel like having some drinks because of the festive celebration here (Chinese New Year).
Hearing these things made me feel silly about leaving my job. I guess I was quite fortunate, but I couldn't help it when I got more and more unhappy there but I managed to stay more than 3 years! Which is not too bad lol. No point dwelling but to look forward to the future.
I brought my 6 empty e/s to the mac pro store today but I didn't b2m any l/s as I couldn't find anything I want at the moment. I'll wait and see. It's finally Friday tomorrow finally so everyone is looking forward to the weekend!
