oh my goodness!! the kitties sound so funny! yes it must have been a crazy litter! but i think kitties that provide laughter are the best kind! free entertainment right?! My two are both better now thanks. no more sickness so it must have been a passing bug or something. or perhaps they ate something that they shouldnt have done! i'm just thankful they are ok! and Dylan is certaintly crazy! Only this morning i woke up to him yowling (he has a very odd meow!) i ran downstairs thinking he was in pain or something was wrong - for him to start purring at me because he wanted a cuddle! silly boy! and Annie is just plain stoopid unfortunately! she seems to lack common sence that most cats have. she is always falling over because she mis-judges where she is jumping. she falls alseep in silly places and then rolls off and falls on the floor. and sometimes she does a silly thing with her lips! i cant explain it exactly but it almost looks like they have doubled in size because she's pouting!

i hope everybody has a great day and i hope you arefeeling a little better today Susanne!!

Lou~I love trains! I love it when the air is very still and cold and we can hear the trains hooting from the other side of town. It sounds so sad, but fun, too! It reminds me of scenes in the movie "A Christmas Story" which is hilarious! Have you read The Railway Children, by Nesbit? If not, you need to! When I was younger and we travelled to Pennsylvania and visited a place called Roadside America. Everyone gathers into this room around a huge rectangular display. It starts dark and the lights come on slowly, as if the sun was rising. Then you can see this massive miniature train and town set up, complete with tree, rivers, falls, loads of trains and track, buildings, etc. It ends with a miniature plane flying over, the room getting blue and purple and then dark again as the sun sets. I will never forget it!!

Happy to say my mom made it through surgery without any events and while still in the hospital she should come back today or tomorrow, so long as nothing else arises. Then we have to wait for weeks before we know if there is improvement or if she has yet another fracture, since she seems to be crumbling just by breathing or any slight movement. She has had 6 surgeries in just 2 years. Awful.

Today will be move around the makeup day, among other things! I almost have it the way I want it..nice and organized. Oh, and the new lippie from Lancome is very red! Jen~Aren't you proud of me? I even swatched it next to the other one and it is definitely pink-less!

 

[Miss QQ]

I have MUFE Moulin Rouge and the red is stunning! It isn't drying and I have dry lips. If I put a tiny bit of balm first the application is perfect. It is a satin finish, not a matte finish. Mac's matte and satin finishes are too dry for my lips. I'm going to the MUFE store tomorrow as there is a 30% discount. I hope to buy some goodies! Wanted Uplight but I called to check this afternoon and they don't have stocks.

kittykit- which part of Malaysia were you at? That is very near to me!

oh wow! that is an awesome discount! dont forget to check out the aqua creams!! and tell us what you get of course!

my working day has been rather boring. no customers at all and just rude people getting funny over things they never even bought from us! how very frustrating! i cant wait to see my hubby when i get home for a cuddle. and the kitties of course!

do any of you have exciting plans for the weekend?

 

[ElvenEyes]

I have the movie on DVD! I loved it! And it was fun to see that the girl who played Robbie ended up in the Brit series Hex! My weekend plans are rather dull. I have more books to sell and more tarot to sell, so that is big on the list. I am hoping hubby will be working on the taxes! I have to clean and cook....our take out Chinese is all gone, darn it!

Do you have anything in particular that you are looking for when you go to the CCO? I think I would go happily insane at one of those places! There might be one in NYC but that is over a 4 hour drive!

I am looking for a bronzer for my very pale, rarely tanned skin. I want a very soft, non shimmery sun-kissed glow. Any suggestions? I am thirsting for some fun products to try out still! I've been corrupted for life....

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~I even found a picture of it for you!

 

[LMD84]

oh Debi that is amazing!!! it is even better than what i thought it would be! wow!! my dad would love it - he is very into trains and stuff which i guess is why i am too thansk for finding the picture for me

oh and when i go to the cco i always have in mind things from old collections that i wanted but couldnt afford to buy at the time for example this time i am hoping to find flurry of fun gloss from to the beach and any pigments in the old style jars come home with me. i have a budget of £150 so that should get me plenty

and i am still looking for the perfect broner for pale skin! i am thinking that perhaps the browner section in the pink power msf might be good. i also have refined golden bronzer but it is a touch too much sometimes. and if you want fun products maybe you could order from mac pro some of the glitters and the mixing medium gel to make your own eye liner and stuff. the reflects glitters are the best! you can add them to gloss too to make a super sparkly lip!

Isn't it awesome? I can't even imagine the work that was put into it and keeping it up, fresh looking, always working. It must be a constant hobby! If they do it the same a man narrates a day lin the life of Roadside America, points out different features, etc., and in the meantime trains are zooming by, lights going on and off, mechanical people, omg..so much. Then having the plane fly over the entire thing and dusk and night come (they really use a lot of effects with the lighting) people were just amazed. So, I saw it like 40 years ago and it is still fresh in my memory. So awesome!

I am hoping MAC does some cool things for the summer, since I was not into it yet! I think the Pink Power MSF is now out, but I will check on that! You are going to have soooo much fun at the CCO!

I finally put up pics of my makeup storage in the storage/stash section. Now you can see my yummy perfume collection! And happy to say my mom is home from the hospital, so all good news and I took a 2 hour nap while the tv was blasting Independence Day! I guess I am tired!

Oh I am so jealous. I would love going to their store because Sephora only sells a portion of their stuff. And to have a 30% discount also, I would be in heaven.

Debi--that thrain set-up is awesome. I'm not really into trains but I would love that.

Lou--I think your Annie and my Smokey must somehow be related. He does those exact things. He falls over and off things and into the bathtub while it's full, all sorts of weird things. He doesn't meow he kind of sqeaks. He is 12 and he's only hacked up maybe three times and he acted like he was dieing. One time it was like watching a really bad western. He acted like he had been shot and staggered and then just feel backwards and over. It was hilarious. Our other 2 are sisters and they are 16 and a half and they now do this weird yodel sound at night. One only does it when she is upstairs and the other only when she is downstairs. They have become very odd. One of them (Snowflake) used to be such a little princess, so prim and proper. Now she bats at things in the air that aren't there, she and Smokey will spazz out at night and fly around the house chasing one another. Smokey will not bathe himself so Rascal does it for him. He walks up and leans his head down right in her face and she'll lick his head and wash him. They're all wacky but you're right cheap entertainment

oh they all sound so cute and funny!! and yes Annie is just like Smokey! she has fallen in the bath before while it was full! sometimes i find her rolling around in it for some reason. and she likes to have it filled a little just so she can drink the water and get her paws wet! she does have an actual bowl of water but she never drinks from it! and she doesnt meow much either. she makes little chirping sounds and also goes 'brrrring!' it sounds quite strange. Dylan's sound is very much like a baby wailing. i think lots of oriental kitties sound like that. but then he does this deep yowl which sounds so scary!! they also never play with the toys i buy them! they prefer to chase around bags or little bits of paper! in fact when i got hoem from work last night i brought home some shopipng in a huge bag. dylan spent a good 30 minutes jumping in and out of this huge bag!

i'm so excited! today is my last day of work until i get a whole week off! oh yeah! also buffy is on right now so this makes me even more excited! hee hee!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~You must be so excited about your vacation week! I hope it is awesome for you! Kitties, cuddles and MU all week long...plus a few other fun things! That movie you mentioned sound wacky! They must have looked more like pimps than gang members! lol I love watching some of the old movies from the 70's and 80's with the big hair and dramatically done makeup. It can get pretty scary, especially since I was part of that time period. Eeeeww! It would probably be fun to look at fashion magazines from back then and see all the things I used to get. Maybelline especially, Fresh Peach or Misty Pink blush, quads in plums, silvery greys and violets. If I think hard enough some of the names will come back to me! The nude or natural look was the last thing we would ever go for. Bling was big. Big was big! Big hair, big makeup! We must have glown in the dark! No wonder I am prime bimbo material!

Listening to the wind. We have a high wind advisory for the next day or two. Nice and sunny now, but more snow on Monday! It is really hard to believe March is 10 days away!

I can't wait for the Surf Baby line, though I have to admit, I am a bit confused with some of MAC's collections. They make such awesome regular products. Why are the collections usually a bit less awesome quality? Colours that don't look right, or washed out, or something. They made the Peacocky collection look like the eyeshadows would be so bright and they really are mellow, every day colours. Hmm...... I know I am going to be picky with my collection items now. I seem to lean towards buying more of their regular stuff. The WW mascaras were such a let down and I noticed other forumers saying the same thing. That they had to put on about 4 coats to even get it start to pop colour!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Wow! One week off work is excellent! Do you have any plans or are you just relaxing? Enjoy no matter what you do!

Debi - How about Too Faced bronzers? I always hear good reviews about them but I've never try them. I don't wear bronzers much too and I'm NC20 most of the time, and NC25 only during 1 or 2 months during summer.

Love the stories of your cats! They are so cute and amusing! Love Smokey, Annie & Dylan! shadowaddict - show us some pics of Smokey if you have. How many kitties do you own?

I am back from the MUFE store and you ladies are right, 30% discount is a lot! I'm so pleased! The store was very crowded and messy as the store just moved to this new location this week and they have not set-up completely and spruce up the space.

But I managed to snag 5 items:
HD foundation in 117 Marble - not sure if this is the perfect match. tried it on in the store with the bad lighting and it looks good though. the foundation comes in so many shades that it is so confusing to decide which is the best match! Maybe 115 or 118 is a better match, I don't know. Most other brands have limited shades in foundation and it is difficult to find the perfect match. lol what an irony!
Lift concealer in 3 - good for undereyes circles. I want to try this because I use concealer mainly for that purpose only.
Rouge artist intense in 34, which is a deep raspberry.
Diamond powder 15 Smoky. It is a bronze/copper shade with multi coloured glitters. Not sure if I'll like this loose powder, but I heard amazing things about this colour.
Last but not least, powder brush in 30S. My old mac brush is almost bald now lol.

I wanted to buy a lot more things but because I have no income now I tried to be good and buy only the items I really like/want. I said I wanted Uplight but it wasn't available, so I'm disappointed.
Lou, I wanted to buy Aqua cream in #2 steel and Aqua eyes liner #16L green (the green I've been looking for) but they will have to wait. Do you have these two? Do you have #83 e/s single? It is a beautiful turquoise shimmer and I heard it is a parrot dupe. I don't have parrot so I bought it and it is very pigment!

Hope everyone is having a great and relaxing weekend!

thank you! yes i am very excited about the week off. and we plan on going out for day trips and then when we dont go out we shall stay at home it should be fun and releaxing!! and it sounds like you got some lovely things at mufe! the diamond powder looks so pretty from swatches so let me know how you get on with it! and yes i do have #2 aqua cream and it is very beautiful! it is very creamy and sometimes i use it as an eyeliner! i dip my 209 brush in it! i dont have the green liner though! i have just taken a look at a swatch and i am sure that it is a bit similar to an urban decay one that i have - mildew i think. and i dont have the #83 shadow but i have just seen swatches and it does look very close to parrot which is great! parrot is one of my all time favourite teal colours so congrats on getting the mufe version! and i'm pleased to see it is just as pigmented too!

one of my lovely specktra frienbs went to the cco that i am going to today and i asked her what they had. and she said loads of flurry of fun gloss so it looks like i will be able to get that! and universal mix pigment which is great news too! i didnt buy that when it came out because i was pissed about the change in jar size but then regretted it! oh and she said there was lithe pigment too which i couldnt afford when it came out with felines. i am super excited to be going now!! hee hee!

have fun guys and i hope that Susanne and Jen are feeling better (i read elsewhere that Jen has been sick )

 

[ElvenEyes]

I am so sorry to hear both Susanne and Jen are sick. This time is awful for catching things. Compared to last year I've been pretty lucky, which probably means I will eventually get smacked with something nasty. Hope you both are on the mend very soon!

Lou~We are all going to have such fun seeing what you get at the CCO! It is great that you had some inside info on what is there so you know what to get and what to look out for. I would be clueless to past collections or items! I agree that they put out too many. I thought maybe 4 or 5 a year, not so many in 2 months time! It is crazy to keep up and only makes me hesitate more rather than buy. I just can't help thinking maybe something more suited to me will come out so save my pennies!

Miss QQ~I should look into that bronzer. I just want a slightly sun-kissed look for summer, but I am pale and so there are other options like getting a powder that is one shade darker than what you usually use or a slightly darker foundation. I will probably have to play around with it, but I have plenty of time before the sun-kissed look is in! Winter is still settled deep here!

i know! the lovely girl in question is so sweet to think of asking me if i want her to look out for things. she bought a couple of goodies for herself which was nice! although i think technically her mum bought them because she ran out of money! good old mum! and i try and keep organised with the collections by keeping a document on what items i want. then when swatches and stuff come out i take things off the list if they dont look like how i wanted them to! i try not to add to my list though because i have a monthly budget for mac. although that appears to have gone out of the window recently! not cool!

oh and i think the too faced bronzer that would be good is the pink leopard one. because it has pink and bronze in it, it wont be as harsh for us lighter skintones. and yes i cant help but think i am going to get some horrible virius soon. everybody i know (including nick) had the flu over the festive period but i was ok! usually i catch everything under the sun so this was very unusual!!

Today is the first day I do feel better! I was up the whole day starting working again.

I so look forward to spring!! The last days were dark and cold again - but I know the sun is there somewhere

I called my MA to ask her to hold me a MSF and a blush from Wonder Woman for me at the beginning of March.

Let me read all your posts!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Good to hear that you are better!

You will be getting WW in 1 or 2 weeks time then! Enjoy!
Jen I hope you recover soon too!

Lou - enjoy the trip to CCO! Flurry of Fun is beautiful! I was very attracted to it when I saw the collection! I have Mildew too but it is a little lighter. Not sure if I got the right no. of the Aqua Eyes though as MUFE has several green liners! But Steel Aqua Cream is gorgeous! Do these aqua cream work well as e/s base? Don't think about catching the bug, just drink more fluids and be happy. I think that helps to keep the immune system strong, especially so if we can be stress-free. I usually catch all kinds of things too - I have chicken pox and measles already (though not German measles).

Debi - I agree with Lou I think Pink Leopard will be easy to wear. Chanel is having two bronzers this summer and Bronze Rose looks easy to wear besides being so pretty with its four strips of colours! Have a look at Karla here. I may pick it up!

http://karlasugar.net/2011/01/sneak-peek-chanel-summer/
Oh yeah, how do the Lancome L'absolu l/s smell like? I heard they have a rose scent that is similar to MUFE Rouge Artist intense? I love the sweet rose scent of the Rouge Artist.

Here are pics of my MUFE goodies. I didn't like MUFE's packaging when I first saw the line but now I think they are not too bad. I love the Rock For Ever tin box a lot!

My small collection of 15 items (counting the mini Aqua Eyes as 1 each lol).





#34 - light raspberry, Moulin Rouge



Diamond powder #15 - have not used it yet. Lou, I will let you know when I've tried it. Do you have any ideas how I can wear it?

 

[LMD84]

^^ oh wow! both of the lipsticks are beautiful colours! do they leave a nice stain as they wear away? and what a great mufe collection you have! the brush looks like it is super soft too (it's weird but i can tell from the picture!!). and yes i think the aqua creams make really good bases for shadows. because the are so pigmented they help with shadows that are on the sheer side. and also because they are waterproof they dont crease up or wear away when i get hot and sweaty like mac paint pots do. i still use udpp with them though before i apply. i cant wait to go somewhere hot to really test the aqua creams out!! and the hd blush you have looks like a pretty colour too enjoy all your mufe goodies!!

Today is the first day I do feel better! I was up the whole day starting working again.
I so look forward to spring!! The last days were dark and cold again - but I know the sun is there somewhere

Let me read all your posts!

which msf are you going to get Susanne? I got pink power because i am far too pasty for the golden one! i think the cheek products are the stand out from the collection.

today Dyaln decided to wake me and nick up very early even though it's a Sunday (we dont lie in but waking up before 7am is a bit too early for a sunday!) he was crying loudly for his breakfast. so we fed both him and annie and then me and nick went back to sleep for another hour or so. however dylan wanted to play so kepy jumping under the covers of the bed trying to hunt our feet! which was all amusing until he caught nick's foot and scratched it!! nick was not amused, and even less so when i kept laughing at him! so we decided to get up and have breakfast. i think soon we shall start to clean up the house though. then this afternoon we shall clean out the office cupboard! - it's such a thrilling day! lol!

 

[Miss QQ]

Dylan is naughty again lol! It's good that you have a partner to clean the house together with to share the load! I love it when you tell us about cleaning your house, it makes me feel more motivated to tidy mine. Hope you have a good day.

I have not worn l/s #34 but I wore Moulin Rouge several times. It is very pigmented and doesn't fade off easily when I drink. Haven't try eating a meal with it. When I removed the l/s, my lips get a little bit of stain, but the stain is not as strong as MAC's Petals & Peacocks and Show Orchid. I think the aqua cream will be able to withstand sweaty lids because when they came out, I read somewhere that we can actually go swimming with it, so it is good for synchronised swimmers and aqua gymnasts. I always admire the glittery makeup they wear during their performances! My concern for the aqua cream is whether they are too dry as bases and thus make the lid crepey? The hd blush is very light and sometimes I blend it too much especially with my fingers and it looks invisible on me lol. I haven't use the brush yet but you are right, it is very soft! But I believe it will be able to pick up powders well too.

I wore Lovelorn yesterday for the first time and love it! Very pretty pink! I feel cute but sophisticated lol.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Miss QQ~What a fun haul and those lipstick colours are gorgeous. I always wonder why MAC doesn't do too much in the line of deep roses and reds. I always have to go elsewhere for them. Revlon has some beauties that stay on super well and feel smooth on the lips. And since they cost less than most I can go buy a bunch, which I plan on doing in the next few days! I don't know if the Lancome lippies smell like roses. They do smell a wee bit like lipstick, but my nose is presently stuffed up from a little cold so I cannot tell!

Lou~Sounds like your day is starting off with fun and will continue to be so! I am really hoping hubby will work on the taxes. We have blue jays that start tapping on the windows when they want to be fed. Apparently the high winds knocked one of our feeders down, so at 7:30am they came a tapping the bedroom window asking for food. Sheesh. Can't a girl sleep in? lol So, off I went, down to the family room, whipped open the window and tossed out a bunch of peanuts to keep them quiet until the feeders were ready!

I am definitely looking at various bronzers, including Laguna by NARS and a light one by Bobbi Brown, plus a shimmer brick, for varied looks! I also have some e/s from NARS and BB that I might get. Gosh...I want everything. Shame on me!
