Chanel Spring 2011

[Shypo]

Thanks, Birgit! I hope so too!!

I must check out that Revlon color - Marajode and Elegant, I'm with you 100% It's funny how we rationalize, isn't it?

 

[stv578]

I had this funny thought/experience - the psychology of makeup. When I went to purchase the Revlon lipstick, I was like holy cow $9.99 for a drugstore lipstick

But, I don't even think about spending $32 or almost $50 like I just did for the Chanel Asia ls .

LOL, Elegant, that is so true! I sometimes get drugstore mascara, and the prices here are higher, so most of them now are over $10 a tube! Even though the difference is roughly about $20 between drugstore and department store mascara, I find myself cringing at thought of spending $10 on covergirl or maybelline! And while I'm sure there is some decent lipstick in the drugstore make-up aisle, I just don't get the same feeling as I do buying one in a nice case and in a pretty box. Ugh, I guess I'm a snob when it comes to cosmetics!

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend. I am currently at work.

^^ Hi Nora! Don't work too hard.......it's a bummer to work on Saturdays, isn't it?

I must be a snob then too....

Elegant, I always slum around for mu.. lol. I have a whole collection of Revlon ls.. from the old timers to the more current lines.. I think they are excellent and the price is unbeatable..recently I got Siren and a Hot pink from Rev.. I love them.. besides, when I travel I take some of these lines with me... I have had a few boostings of my Chanel/Guerlain stuff, and yes, even in very good hotels.

C!.. I got the E.B..the lightest bronzer shade.. Light something.. lol. I do hate names, and the ls, the Tender something.. oh man, I am gonna have to go look at the bottoms

I don't expect anything from any man anywhere anymore.. I am too old and wily to be snookered.. lol. Beside, nobody holds a candle to my Jeff.. and I am not ready for anything more than a casual dinner or theatre.. blah.

ms. qqq.. thanks! I kissed the mirror when I went out..a sign that I approve of myself, when I go pfft.. it means I don't feel my best !

Elegant, the psychology of mu is what makes cosmetic companies rich..

as regards chatter.. I like it this way .. I really think there are too many threads, as everybody can start their own, so sometimes I run in and out and don't even see posts.. this way, we keep all the hot juicy stuff in one single place

oh now I can't go back and edit anything, and the finger stopped working.. lol.

 

[elegant-one]

So, while we're on the $$$ subject

I got this wonderful sample that came with my NM Armani order. Cle de Peau spot serum (it has a fancier name) but basically thats it. OMGosh, I tried it a bit ago & my skin felt like silky silk, not just silk. It made my skin look kinda soft & radiant & tonally nice & poreless!!!

I rush out to check at NM how much it costs - $155 - immediately my mind goes - 'oh, thats not bad because the Kate Somerville is $150!'

*heads back to the psychiatrist's couch*

HG - it's so much easier to keep up in here, isn't it? The light bronzer sounds very nice, and I believe the lip is Tender Love - it's in my cart. I'm planning to try a couple of the shadows, one of the blushes, and Tender Love. It's a good thing there's not a ton in his line.......and there's nothing wrong with dinner and the theater every now and again!!

Today I'm having one of those pfffft days.....

I used to love Revlon lipsticks.......must go hunt some new ones down.

Yes, we are all in good snob company!!!

Cle de Peau has some nice stuff - pricey, but nice - I'm really kinda liking the KS Cyto-Cell!!

I agree 100% on what you said above with the chatter thingy!!!

Oh, & I like the 'hot juicy stuff'

 

[User38]

lolol Elegant.. I am trying to wean myself off the Revive Serum.. that one is 600.. argh

C.. the EB is Daydream.. lol.. it's not a bronzer name but it looks magnificent!

The ls are the ultra slicks.. in Tender Love, and eternal passion.. both the kind of lips I am going for for spring/summer

 

[User38]

Does it work? Some days I feel like I would pay anything if it really worked & worked consistently. Do you have any opinions on CDP?

"I am too old and wily to be snookered.. lol." - Amen to that sista

 

[User38]

it works for me sista.. lol.

it is still a less painful way for me to smooth out the ridges and valleys in my face.. lol..

I can't seem to give it up.. it's another of my addictions

have not tried the CdeP yet.. yet.. lol

don't get me going to NMs site now sista!

 

[elegant-one]

^

if thats the case - I should use it *cough* elsewheres on me

NM did away with the fs but, I get in trouble just by ....'ooh, look at THAT....yeah

 

[Shypo]

I think I have to go on a no-buy

. I've been so bad lately! I have to start using some of what I've bought before I buy more......I think I need Makeup-Aholics Anonymous!!!

I couldn't resist the Peeps! I've loved them all my life! This pic cracked me up!

You guys are really making me chuckle. I was reading this thread on my phone while I was waiting in the truck while my husband was picking up some groceries. (I was protecting the new bike we had just bought our daughter).


Then I was amused enough I guess it made me forget one of the two reasons I left the house. The other was the cake.
After getting home and the bike out, and cussing, I hopped it back to the cupcake place before they closed. The lady that I know there gives me a blank stare and tells me I didn't order a cake. I about freaked out.
Well, crap. More cussing.
Apparently last week I called the "other" cupcake place in our town. I didn't even realized it had opened. Now, I'm supposed to tell cupcake lady number one, how cupcake lady number two does on her cakes. I feel so James Bond.

So, I get to cupcake place number two with two minutes to spare before they close. Yes, they have my cake. Chocolate hazlenut cupcake in cake form. (mm. a layer of nutella between two chocoate layers. chocolate ganache frosting, topped with toasted hazlenuts.... I mean, who needs sex when there's that???)

That was so embarassing.

But, I did get a free red velvet cupcake from cupcake lady number one. mmmm.. I guess that's my spy fee. I don't know.

Shypo, I just love that avatar!

 

[elegant-one]

^^^I just stopped at Chocolate hazelnut....yummy yummy!!!!! I LOVE hazelnut coffee.

What a day for you! At least you got the bike...& barely the cake

more cussing <-----

There's room for more on our Therapist's couch dear

Shypo - I already have my MAA - Makeup-Aholics Anonymous Card - it works at every Mall

 

[Shypo]

Marajode, what a day!! Elegant is right, there's always room on the couch! I hope your daughter feels better and well enough to enjoy her birthday and yummy cake! And red velvet is my all-time favorite!!!! Lucky you!

Thank you, I thought that avatar would be a nice change in preparation for spring!

I need one of those cards, Elegant - I'm sure mine would be 'BLACK'!

 

[Bonitinha]

Oh Ladies -- I adore all of the chatter!! Sounds like you all are finding all kinds of wonderful new things. We truly all do need a good therapist LOL!!

Well, let's just say I need to go shopping without all of my girlies with me. I spent so much time in Claire's with them (you know, they love to look at the little earrings and cheapo lipglosses, etc). They were just having too much fun, so I just let them shop -- one day I will miss hanging out in Claires with my girls when they are all grown up (sob).
I was able to hit MAC for my niece's makeover. I am totally copying her makeup look. They did Tan pigment on the lid (of course, they were sold out of it), Wedge in the crease, Bronze in outer V and Blanc Type for brow h/l. They did a winged liner and she looked so gorgeous. She used Margin blush with Belightful hl powder and Marquise D lippie with Love Nectar on top. Sooo pretty and I have quite a few of those already.

I did manage to score myself a few cute new tops for Spring (if it will ever get here??).

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
