Get well soon, Debi! 
Bah, humbug! It is snowing out and it looks so pretty, but I have woken to a very nasty cold. That would explain why I had chills last night. Now I am hot and I just want to plant myself in a snow drift! That would probably not be good. Orange juice, water, soup and back to bed. I knew I was due to get sick. I shouldn't have said anything. Isn't that the way, always?
oh i am sorry that you have a cold sweetie! and you're right! maybe you shouldn't have mentioned it! although there are worse things to catch i guess. i hope you have a speedy recovery!
my day out shopping was good. i went to the cco and got the following -
so bad gloss
jealous gloss
best of breed gloss
flurry of fun gloss
liquid lurex lippie
shimmermoss shadow
plumage shadow
atlantic blue shadow
universal mix piggie
hi def cyan piggie
quite a bit but still £60 under my budget so that was good! although it looks like the computer i want is released this week so i guess it is a good thing i was under - i will be dropping quite a bit on the computer! nick bought himself lots of jeans and tops in the gap. and we also looked around some china shops because i want a new plates, bowls and cups set - what is that called?! crockery??? also we saw some lovely teal coloured casserole dishes but they were like £80! i thought that was crazy! but they looked so pretty! i think it must have been some high end brand or something! we did however buy a nice new cutlery set. we always buy cheap stuff so it looks crappy after a year or so. because this set is decent hopefully it will last us 15 years and more!
tomorrow our plan is to stay at home and tackle cleaning out the garage! it is a little messy because over winter we tend to just store things in there - in fact the old tv is still there which needs to be disposed of very soon! also the shoe cupboard could do with being sorted out but nick always wants me to chuck shoes away that although i no longer wear, they are still too cute to chuck! lol!
i hope everybody has had a good start to their week!
Thank you for all the good wishes. I am sure I will survive, so long as my cold doesn't get funky and turn into a sinus infection or bronchitis. My mind just wants to go out and play. My body is laughing at me! I have no makeup on. That says a lot! lol
Lou~So glad you found some excellent goodies at the CCO. I would imagine they are like that.... a hit or miss thing. Sometimes I shock my hubby when I walk out of certain stores with my hands empty or just one little bag. Other times he practically faints when I come out loaded up! We can't win! Have fun continuing on your cleaning/organizing quest! The Big Mac was okay, the fries were disgusting because I don't like salt and they loaded it with it. So I gave those to hubby and had yogurt for dessert to combat the junk! Fruit this morning and about to have some hot soup!
I have to finalize my Sephora order and get it in. I keep putting thing in, taking things out. Drats on budgets! lol
So, do any of you have a top dozen must have product list? Here is mine:
1. UDPP love this stuff and my eyeshadow lasts all day, no creasing, not even on my old eyelids!!
2. NARS lip glosses. Amazingly smooth, natural and not sticky.
3. NARS Albatross. Best highlighter in the world
4. MAC e/s...any colour. LOVE them and they don't fade or move.
5. MAC blushes. I can wear so many and love the choices! More pinks would be nice, though!
6. NYX Jumbo Eye Liners. I love the sheen and only use them on my lower lash line. So pretty.
7. UD 24/7 eye liners-very pigmented and great colour schemes. They don't move until you wash!
8. Anastasia eye powder and brush. Love it and more natural than a pencil
9. MAC l/s Again, excellent product and so many to choose from.
10. Clarisonic Mia...my skin feels so smooth!
11. Nivea lip balm-a necessity for my easily chapped lips
12. Estee Lauder Lucidity Foundation...a perfect match for me!
And so much more I want to add to that list!!!

yes i am not a fan of mcdonalds chips at all! very salty and extremely soggy for some reason! burger king do the best chips! crispy and no salt! or not as much anyways! and yeah i think theyb are very hit and miss. i only get to go to a cco twice a year so usually i find something that i am after. i was shocked there were no msf's there today. that dissapointed me a little because i was hoping that comfort would be there! i missed out on that and i really fancy it! they did have both cooling powders from the disney collection which i was shocked at. although they seemed very pricey so i didnt buy the darker one (i already had truth and light).
and my top 12 products... only 12?! hee hee! here are mine -
1- mac pigments - i can't pick one colour - i love them all! i love how much use you can get out of a pigment! they really are jars of fun for me!
2- mac dazzleglass glosses - i love the sparkle that you get from these! and they are the only gloss that i actually like to layer over lipstick!
3- mac dare to wear glosses - so pigmented, long lasting and sparkly! what more do i want?!
4- mufe aqua creams - more pots of joy! a great colour range with lots of finishes and they never crease on my eyes! ever!
5- ud 24/7 liners - great colours and all the ones i have used are super pigmented! oh and long lasting too!
6- nars orgasm blush - a great everyday blush that always looks perfect. and i like that there is a mirror in the compact!
7- maybelline full and soft mascara - best mascara ever! my lashes feel like they are naked but still look quite thick.
8- mac eye shadows - i love them all but my most used are dazzlelight, silver ring, carbon, parrot, solar white and beautiful iris.
9- mac lipsticks - great colour range and lots of finishes to choose from
10- mufe aqua lip liner - these liners do not budge at all! perfect for a night out!
11- mac msf - once again i cant possibly choose a favourite! but these are all great used alone or as a blush topper!
12- mac brushes - after i started to buy mac brushes my make up skills improved. i swear these brushes make application easier. and because they do so many there really is something for everything!
oh and can i sneakily give udpp my best of all vote?! because it really is amazing stuff! my pigments wouldnt look half as good without it!

lol I love your list. It glitters beautifully! UDPP is amazing stuff. I wish it existed when I was younger. Everything creased and slid and faded and fall out. Blech! I have so much UDPP on hand...just in case! They better not drop it until I am dead! I agree about the brushes, too. I love both my Sigma and MAC brushes. They just transform the look. No more spongy applicators! Yay! lol
thank you! there are plenty other things i would have on my list but i guess i can get carried away! and i am like you and always have udpp on hand! i usually have a full sized and a couple of minis and a full sized sin version too! it is my primer of choice! i never tried too faced shadow insurence because i dont think anything can top udpp! i am sure one day i will buy it, but for now i am happy! and oh lord! sponge applicators were horrid! but the scary thing is that up until about 3-4 years ago i was still using them!! and the worst part? they never got washed! i'm ashamed of myself! lol!
I am just like you! I used the same dirty applicator year after year after year and never washed them. It amazes me we didn't go blind from some disease! I have a tube of the Two Face Shadow Insurance but have not bothered to dip into it yet. I love my UDPP and yes, Sin is gorgeous too. I have 2 of those and 4 of the other. lol I just keep picking them up every time I go to Sephora!
Awww...sounds like you are getting Kitty Loves! When we had my first cat and hubby and I tried to play chess on the floor, she would just sit right in the middle of the board, knocking everything over and looked at us like "Are you serious? Look at me! I am gorgeous! Forget your stupid game!!"

lol! yeah that sounds just like Dylan! if we watch tv he then jumps and sits on the tv stand in front of the screen! If i am reading a magazine he jumps on it and sits on it! If i am in the loo he jumps on the doorhandle to come in with me.... he is very demanding! Annie isn't like that at all. she knows what is accepatble! Most of the time she has her play time and cuddles, then goes and sleeps for the day and comes back for more cuddles before bed!
lol Yeah, what is it about cats watching us go to the bathroom? They don't like it when we watch them! Hmmm...... lol

hey bimbos - terrible sad news in Nz at the moment. Christchurch has just had another huge earthquake (they had one in september), which was where i was in the weekend visiting blair - have only just managed to get ahold of him, he is ok thank god. bloody scary stuff, i am trying to get through to the hospital to let them know i can come for relief work. they are talking that there are deaths, so so horrible, but i am glad that nothing has happened to blair

oh my goodness i am so sorry about what is going on overe there at the moment. I am pleased that Blair is ok though, i can only imagine how upset you must have been until you got hold of him. are his family and friends safe and ok? i hope that you can help out at the hospital.

Sally - I heard the news too. Hope you and your loved ones are ok!
It's so cute to hear about the antics of your kitties. They want your attention badly! lol! Great makeup lists, Lou & Debi! I dislike sponge applicators too! I used them when I just begin to buy makeup and they applied patchy and streaky on me. I tried to wash them but that is near impossible! The stuff do not come off at all. I've heard that soaking them in soapy water before washing helps so one day I may try doing that to my old sponge for foundation as see if it works.
Everyone needs pizza, burger and chips once in a while! Don't feel bad! I love comfort and convenient food - in fact they are my favourite type of food! But luckily for me, my mum cooks most of the time so I only eat fast food about once a week. I think that is still quite frequent? lol! I quite like mcdonald's fries, and being salty is part of the reason. But sometimes it gets too salty, perhaps the staff accidentally overloads the salt.
Enjoy your CCO haul, Lou! The expensive crockery should last longer than the cheaper ones. They are suppose to be scratch and chip free. I love beautiful crockery and cutlery sets too. I think we all like pretty things here. And getting your new MacBook pro is very exciting!
It's good to hear that it doesn't get dusty there so quickly. If I open my windows/doors, it gets dusty within a hour! I have no idea why there is so much dust from outside. Basically even if I dust twice daily, it will still be dusty, unless I shut the windows all the time and that is impossible as I'll suffocate. And dust is especially visible on a black surface, and it looks gross. Perhaps it is due to our humid climate and very built-up area?

and you are so lucky having your mum cook for you most days! i miss my mum's cooking! she did some lovely meals. and on a sunday we would have a lovely roast dinner! me and nick try our best, but sadly my cooking skills are nowhere near as good as my mum's! and nick's mums cooking is really good so i really dont compare to her!Sally - I heard the news too. Hope you and your loved ones are ok!

and yes i guess we do all love pretty things here! it is looking like thursday will be the day the new macbook pros get released! i know i keep talking about it but its beacause i have been waiting and saving for so long!!
oh and yes if you have your window open i can see why things get so dusty so quickly. in the summer when we have the window open we gets lots of bits coming in the house. usually bits of flowers... you know like the white fluffy things! why cant i think of their name?! you can blow on them and they explode everywhere and fly away in the wind!
Sally~Good to know that you and your family are okay. The pictures and video are heartbreaking. I keep checking in with my friend who lives about 2 hours south of Christchurch. Her niece lives up there and is missing. We are all praying that it is just a lack of being able to communicate as everything is so chaotic. So much destruction and death. Watching those buildings fall apart like a deck of cards was heartbreaking.
My cold seems a bit better today and I don't feel feverish. In fact last night I started to feel a little better, so that is good! I ordered some goodies from Sephora, including 3 different bronzers (the Two Faced one, Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Light and NARS Laguna) and figured one of them has to work well, or don't bother with bronzers at all! Hopefully they will all be light enough to use as contours, etc. I also bought a few more NARS e/s and a bunch of BB ones, plus my first Shimmer Brick....I think it was the Pink Quartz one. I am curious as to how good it is. So I look forward to these goodies by the end of the week. I have so many fun things I want! lol As soon as my two present tarot selling transactions are complete and my customers have their goods and are happy, I plan to put more up for sale and keep funding my MU obsession! Then hubby cannot complain!! He can just look on in wonder, though he is funny when he picks out something for me that suits me perfectly. lol
So....MAC Studio Fix +. What exactly does it do, is it worth it and do you all use it regularly and notice any difference?

Those white bits - are they dandelions? Or are they smaller ones? I get occasional small white bits, some kind of flower i guess, that float around and I can catch them with my fingers lol. Please talk about macbook pro! I'm so excited for you too! Then we will be sony tv and macbook pro buddies!
How's the cleaning of your garage? Hope it went smoothly!
Yes home cooked meals are the best! Too bad I can't cook much.
I know you mentioned you like green e/s. I came across this blog about green e/s look and this Oscar de la Renta spring/summer show with this gorgeous green e/s that I love. So here they are, hoping it will bring spring cheer to all of us. The revlon e/s are not released yet though.

Hi Debi, we seem to always post around this time together lol! I always see your post after I submitted mine, because I take so long to type everything. (I get distracted and paused halfway, usual.) Good to know you are better! Do rest well! And let us know how you like your bronzers, as well as your Nars and BB. I have one shimmerbrick, Nectar, and use it more for highlighting because it is quite shimmery and metallic.
I sometimes spray Fix + all over my face after I finish my makeup, so that my face don't look too powdery. Or I spray my brushes with Fix+ first before dipping into loose e/s or pigments.

lol We do seem to be on a similar schedule! I looked at the Nectar one and think that might be the next one, if I want another. The others look so light that even on my pale skin I don't think they would do much more than make me a shimmery ghost (which could come in handy for Halloween!). Good to know Fix + has multiple purposes!! Do you find you need to dab your face dry with a makeup sponge afterwards? I saw someone doing that in a YouTube video. So, we put the powder on to set things and soften our look, then we put Fix + on to make it dewy again, and we put our makeup on, only to dab some off afterwards? Hmm.. I think I am missing something here!
