Susanne~So sorry to hear you are sick and hope you feel better soon. This is the season for catching things. Keep thinking spring and it will soon be here! Get well soon!

Lou~I hope your kitties will be okay. It sounds like they either have a little bug and need some Amoxicillin or they got into something they should not have. Cats are such curious creatures, so I know what you are going through. It is easy for them to catching something from each other with all the licking and sharing of bowls, rubbing against things, etc. ! Wishing them the best.

My mom goes in surgery again on Thursday. I am waiting for an update from my father as she has multiple fractures in her back and is in a lot of pain again. This would now be 7 fractures in 2 years. She is literally crumbling. It is heartbreaking. My mother had me when she was 40 and now is so old that she looks about 100 because she never cared for herself, didn't eat well, didn't exercise. It all pays off in the end, which is a pity because her mind is perfectly clear. She seems more like someone's grandmother than my mother. My way of balancing this crazyness out seems to be MU and Coach, a good book or movie. If only it were spring and I could get outside in some fresh air. The winds are howling steadily at 45mph and it is a balmy 14F out. Brrrrr!

But...my Violetta l/s arrived as did my mixing medium, so who knows what kind of trouble I can get into later!

Went for a "Gentle Geisha" look, inspired by a photo from Memoirs of a Geisha. I finally found good use of those bright pinks in my MAC palette. I had to use a shimmery yellow for the brow, but want a nice matte butter yellow. The flash washes it out. Any suggestions? I prefer MAC of course!! So, here I am! Pardon the wild hair. I just washed it and didn't blow dry it, so it is having a happy frizzy day!





And the photo that inspired it! Ah, well. We can't all be that beautiful!

Debi i am so sorry to hear about your mum. it is so hard when family members become so fragile and sick like that. i cant believe how many fractures she has had though! she must be a very strong lady to keep ploughing on through all the pain like that. i shall send lots of positive thoughts your way and hope that she will be ok. I guess 40 is reasonably 'old' to have a child these days. many of my friends have children already (some pregnant with the second one!) and we are all only mid twenties! crazy! and have fun playing with your make up. whatever takes your mind off things is good. and of course we are all here for you

i am pleased that your mixing medium has arrived! and that bought bought violetta! it is such a pretty colou! not for the shy though! hee hee! oh and a quick update on my furbabies for you - i got home work work and luckily there was no vomit anywhere (we locked them downstairs where there is hard wood flooring rather than upstairs where it is all carpet!) since i have been home i have given them a treat each and they have been fine with that. i am scared to give them too much food at the moment! but as long as they dont bring anything up in the next 12 hours i will be happy. otherwise i shall be going to the vet in the morning.


and your look is lovely! the lips are so pretty and i love the soft pinky eyes. it looks so nice on you!

i hope everybody is having a good day. nick is working late tonight and wont be home until about 9pm. so at the moment i am in bed where it is warm, kitties next to me while posting on here! all i need is a hot chocolate but i dont want to get up! lol!! i had a very hard day at work today. i was cleaning lots, moving stock about and also some horrible man came in trying to steal things! we saw that he had bolt cutters in his pocket (to break the metal laptop locks) he didnt get anything because all of us where watching him like crazy. but it's horrid that somebody would want to steal my stock!!

Debi--I meant to say that your look was really pretty.

Lou--I hope your kitties are on the mend. Perhaps it was just alittle bug. It's good they are resting beside you. They probably need to rest and feel better with you by their side. I should be cleaning bust as you can see I'm not. I keep coming up with excuses to put it off. The thing is it never goes away, just waits on you.

At least no one was hurt by the guy. Isn't it horrible that people do such things?

On a totally different note I had such a pink bimbo moment as I was checking my email. I get emails from barbiecollector.com, that's where I had to order my MAC barbie when my store sold out within minutes. Anyway I clicked on it and was looking around. I love this bag.

Yikes! That took forever. Hi again everyone, hope you're all having wonderful days! I'm doing some cleaning, training, then dinner and homework! What else is new *sighs*

Lou~Good to hear the kitties are doing better. They might have just had a little tummy bug and need to eat gentle for 24-48 hours. No burgers. lol My camera is washing the look out! My eyes are bright pink! I used Sushi Flower and Passionate. When I opened the pans to put in one of my palettes I thought when am I going to use these? Ends up this is a favourite look on me! Thank you for the well wishes for my mom. She has had strokes during the surgeries so they are high risk...and she is 87, so yikes. I am freaking out! She is in a lot of pain and has spent the past several months mostly in bed. She looks worse and more frail than my grandmother did at age 96 when she came to our wedding. Sigh.. And OMG at work. I can't believe someone tried to steal. People are nuts. I love the lady in England that wacked the guys with her purse that were holding up that jewelry store last week. Next thing you will be in the news. "MAC enthusiast sprays brush cleaner into eyes of would-be thief and saves the day!!" Now if that happens, you should get the entire WW line for free!

Jen~I have some brighter/deeper red lipsticks on their way. This one is supposed to be red...I believe it is called Love that Red by Revlon, but when I wipe it off there is a slight tint of pink. I am looking forward to practicing with reds! Only you would pick that subtle difference out. lol!! Other Bimbo moment. Okay, you asked for it.

Once upon a time Debi, aka Elven Eyes, decided to get the MAC wipes. She received it in the mail and saw the fancy little label on it, but turned it over and over wondering how do you get in? She looked for a ziplock thing, or some kind of opening, but could not find it. Just the fancy label. So she grabbed a pair of scissors and cut open the side, revealing all the wipes! "What a stupid idea,"she thought, "They will all dry out!" Then she found the pretty MAC label actually opened so you could pull one wipe out at a time and then click close. She ran for clear mailing tape, taped the side up and stuffed it in a little container to keep it moist. And now she thinks she probably can't bring this B2M or even if she could would be very embarrassed to tell this story of the Bimbo who could not even open a MAC wipe container correctly!

On a happier note. I just sold 2 tarot books and 1 deck for 140.00. Yes! A visit to Coach and MAC for me! Woohooo!

Lmao... love that purse lady story!!! :p

Teeheehee.... I know, I'm dying to see you in some really rich reds! I'll totally call you out on it, even though I know the camera has a lot to do with it :p Let us know when they come and and what you think of them!!

LMAO, I love that bimbo moment!! All the more because my mother did the exact same thing the first time :p You're not the only one out there!!!

$140.00 bucks for tarot cards and books?! What are they made of, pure gold?! And how big did you say your collection was? lol That's amazing, though - have fun spending it! :)

Jen~You are so funny! Thanks for letting me know your mom did the same thing. I feel so much better. Gosh I felt dumb! lol I promise I will let you see my lips super red as soon as I get a decent red lippy. I am hoping at least one or two in my latest order will be up to your expectations!
clapping.gif
I knew you would call me out on it! rofl

Good news about my mother and such a relief in a sense. She had the xray and it did not show any change. So it simply is hurting more because she hasn't had surgery yet. But no new fractures, so hurrah! I will sleep a lot better tonight just knowing that and hope she will to.

Yes, my decks are like gold. I bought them to use and often buy extras as backups, but when they go out of print (OOP) certain ones cost a fortune and it blows my mind away. We had my collection insured at 25,000.00! If I sold it I could buy a really nice car! I never realized their value would go up so much, but sometimes an artist dies, or retires and they are often considered little works of art, and are amazing (not just your ordinary decks anymore) so basically it is a small fortune!

So I played at MAC (only 2 goodies), Sephora and Coach. lol Haul pics tomorrow. I am too tired right now! But oh, I am getting addicted to NARS eyeshadows. I love the colours!! And the little holder is so cute!!

Debi, hope your mum's surgery goes well, i work in that line, so you can always ask me!

i havent even dared to look at nars shadows, they are nearly 3x price of mac shadows here *shudders*

They are pricey, and I will never had so many as I have of my beloved MAC, but I am picking up colours that I have not seen MAC do and that makes it worthwhile! I did pick up MAC's Goldenrod, which ended up being the exact colour that I wanted. I am so glad! So, here is my slightly more Geisha look (don't worry, Jen, I will do it again with super red lippies!)!!

Debi just take the tape off before you take it in to B2M. They won't even notice or care, probably wouldn't anyway. When I take my stuff in they don't even look at it. I take it in a zip;ock and they go toss in their box or container thingie.

OK stupid question here. Will someone please tell me what a speedy is and why is it so expensive?

Susanne - get well soon!

Debi - the gentle geisha look is beautiful! Much more wearable than the real look! The goldenrod look is so pretty and summery! Now I want to try the L'absolu l/s even more! What colours do you have? Sorry to hear your mum is in so much pain. Hope the surgery goes well!

Jen - thanks. the ulcer is still there but the size has decreased a little, and I think it is hurting less, whether I imagine it or not lol.

Lou - the man is scary! Good thing he didn't take anything and no one was hurt. I think he was looking around and expecting your store to be moving the stocks so he was prepared.

shadowaddict - lol i'm like you, and probably the rest of us here, as Lou said. I don't think twice about buying new makeup though I already have so much. Yet I deliberate so much about buying other things. Speedy is an LV bag. You can check out the website! It is a very popular bag!

MissQQ--thank you. I guess I've never paid attention to the names as I do not have a LV bag. I think my "logical" husband literally fall over I spent that on a handbag, although they are quite beautiful.

The ulcer sounds quite painful. I hope you feel better soon.

lol! yeah most blokes do not understand why some items are so expencive! when nick bought me LV bag and wallet for christmas he was shocked at how much they were!! i was lucky i got both!

^^ lol Lou! Yeah you are lucky then even though Nick was shocked at the price, he still bought both the LVs for you! How sweet! Wow the man sounds like he went on a robbing spree across the road. Hope the shops there are now aware of him and will alert one another. You are so brave to take on the drunk man. I would never do that but would ask an auxillary policeman or at least a male coworker to confront him.

shadowaddict - yeah it is quite unthinkable to spend so much on a bag, but we still do that because the design is timeless, the bag is well made and it's gorgeous! Thanks, I think I'll give the ulcer another week to get better lol. Hope at least it doesn't get worse.

i wasnt that brave. just stupid and angry that somebody would steal from me! plus it effects my wages if i am down at stock takes - so the guy would have essentially been taking money out of my pocket!!

i hope your ulcer gets better very soon. it sounds very painful :(

my day has been nice. i cleaned the house this morning and then i have been sorting out my laptop. it broke again this morning so i had to re-install windows and all my programs. not cool at all! and then this afternoon i have been catching up on some tv shows :)
