^^ hugs. Hope you manage to study this weekend then. Good luck for the exam. Where are you going for the biz trip? Congrats on getting your speedy soon! I think you deserve to spend the money you worked hard for! I kind of like Miu Miu, but Prada more, if I compare the too. But Prada is much more costly! When is your birthday? Happy birthday!

Prada is nice but Chanel is still my dream brand! I want a Chanel bag so much! Or maybe some sunglasses! Perhaps they would be more affordable?! lol!

Quick flyby while I take a break in the tarot selling. I just sold another 100.00 worth and I haven't even got to the good stuff yet! I am just whetting their appetite for the drool factor decks from Italy and Prague! Hehehe..

Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, snow, slush, yuck! Such a lovely day! No cramps, no cold. Slept through the alarm! Just did my eyes with BB and actually like her stuff. Time to order more. It is good for a neutral eye, browns, pinks, taupes, etc, with shade after shade just slightly dark than the next, so good for blending. I am a terrible blender, or maybe it is just my old eyelids, though if I remember correctly they have always been this way. My eyes are also deeply set because I am part Mohawk, so it makes it challenging! I also have one lid that is droopy and worse during colds or when I am tired. My poor nephew inherited it, too. I remember when he was born and we all wondered why he wasn't opening his other eye. Poor thing. He had to wear glasses before he even walked and it set him back a year. Now he is one of my pride and joys, turning 23 and a computer/electronic car guru!

Must go rummage through the decks again and gosh darn, I am going to have to rearrange some makeup soon. I'm still in love with my bronzers, but decided against wearing them today with all the snow and rain! Went with Sex Appeal blush from NARS instead!

 

[ElvenEyes]

And the look of the day, very toned down, plus the cute little tote I picked up at Staples that I use each day to put all my makeup in and toting it to the bathroom! And yes, my bangs are way too short! Luckily they grow out fast!

 

[LMD84]

that is such a pretty and soft look Debi! I love it! And that is so cute that you use a little basket to carry your stuff from room to room! great idea! hee hee!

my evening has been rather boring. Nick has been working on creating a game so has been focussed on that. we will watch a movie soon though. i think we will watch the girl who played with fire - the second dragon tattoo movie.

Thank you! Yes, her makeup is definitely for the understated look, but I can appreciate it when that is what I am looking for...she will be what I drag out! I think I also nabbed a UD Naked Palette from Sephora. Yay! I like their e/s. They always have something a wee bit different that I end up using on a look which I don't have in any other line.

lol I so know what you are saying about your hubby. Mine gets completely caught up in things like work, checking work, checking work email, calling his mother (Lord help me....) and so I get sick of waiting for him and start the movie on my own. To really make him get to the sofa I put on something excellent that he can't imagine missing and suddenly the world stops and I get his full attention! I am thinking it is either the Mall or movie and some popcorn tonight! It is the weekend and I want to play!!

I love my little basket! It makes it so much easier and I can keep things in there for any touching up later on, without having to remember exactly what lippie or gloss I grabbed, etc. It is like shopping in your own makeup collection!

oh the naked palette is really nice! i didnt have that many neutral shadows so it was a good buy for me. i still prefer my brights, but you can do such classy looks with the naked palette. it is still very hard to come by in the uk though!

oh and that is a great idea about starting the movie without him! lol! and luckily i dont have the issue of nick calling his mum! they arent particularly close so they dont speak that often. although he keeps saying how he must ring her at some point. i just nod and say ok! he has a bad memory! lol!

the question is, where did you get the basket from?! dont tell me you robbed a store and filled that basket full of make up?! hee hee!

 

[User38]

Debi... that is a very soft feminine and beautiful look!

did you use BB Wheat? I so love that colour !

Lou, my birthday last year, my hubby got me a 255 Chanel.. which I love, but haven't worn since he died.. it just makes me sad to see it.

msqqq.. lol.. yea, we women were built for the long haul

 

[ElvenEyes]

Her Majesty the Greyness~Thank you! Today I used Ivory, Shell, Heather and Slate. I just bought about 8 more via Sephora. Hehehe.. Can't wait to have them all! Shame all over me! I will have to check out Wheat! Today is the big test to see how long they last, so hoping they have the staying power of MAC. They better at this price!

Lou~lol Yes. I went into a Sony Store pretending to be drunk, knocked over the Bimbo with the glittery eyeshadow and then grabbed the basket.

Just kidding.....I bought it at Staples!

 

[User38]

lol Debi.. good going.

knocking over people is my modus operandi

I love the BB es.. you can wet them too and get more use from them.. I love Black plum and Chocolate and use it to line my eyes on the lower lids.. than I smudge but with the wet app the product stays on. Oh you will get lots of use from them.. I have all the colours you used except I am a palette freak and usually buy the empty palettes and put them in there... they pop up and out and it's easy to use.

 

[banana1234]

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!!!

Fun list! Ooh, Play it Proper. Do you like this and how do you use it? Does it make you look all pink or do you use it as something other than an all over powder? I keep putting it in my bag, taking it out, putting it back in. lol Help! Anyone!

it is a highlighter, but very subtle, i use a light dusting on my cheek bones etc like you would normally but you can also use a light hand and use it on your whole face for a healthy glow, you cant tell you are wearing much, but it just gives you that glow from within. its so finely milled, like no sparkles just a very subtle sheen, i bought 3! it came out with stylishly yours. its not a setting powder

elegant loves it too!


off topic, you know what i thought the other day, where's erine gone?

 

[shadowaddict]

Debi--love the soft look. I've been thinking about Playing It Proper also because all the rave reviews.

HerGreyness--didn't know you could use BB e/s wet, thanks for the info. I really like BB's gel liner, especially Black Plum Ink.

still very sad situation with christchurch, the death toll is up to 145, and the missing is still over 200. for those that are wondering, i am a radiographer, someone who takes xrays and does scans (not sure what we are called in the united states)

xoxo

Thanks, hun. I'm definitely taking my books on my biz trip. I'll spend my evenings studying in the hotel room I started collecting Coach since 2004. My sister is a Coach freak... When she was still living in the US, we always got her to bring us stuffs cuz she lived close to a Coach outlet!!

We had performance review a few weeks ago and it scared me to look at the number of hours I've worked on projects. I had no life in 2010! There were days I worked more than 14hrs... I work as a consultant/project manager if you're wondering *lol*

Chanel flap bag is on my wishlist... I know M will kill me if I spend more than 2000EUR on a purse... besides, he told me classic flaps are so ugly... if I carry one, he's not gonna walk next to me

Men!

 

[LMD84]

I hope you feel better soon. **hugs**

Thanks My birthday is today We're going to the LV store, follow by massage and dinner. Hubby's making breakfast in the kitchen now and I'm not allowed to go in there because he said it's a surprise... So here I'm on Specktra I'm not sure if I'm going to study this weekend *lol* We're going to ski tomorrow!! I'm going to Brussels next week for biz. I wish one day they'll send me to Asia or USA instead!

The only thing I own from Prada are my sunglasses. At the moment LV and Miu Miu are my favourite designer brands. Maybe one day I'll get myself a Prada if I've enough cash to spend

it sounds like you have an awesom day planned out! and i cant wait to hear what your suprise is! and jeez you have worked some crazy hours in 2010!! 14 a day is pretty insane! the most i do in a day is about 9.5-10 hours 6 days a week. but now i am back to 9 hours 5 days a week which is much better! your job must be very stressfull!!

and i cannot believe your hubby thinks the flap bags are ugly! i think you need to slap him around the face with one! hee hee!

 

[ElvenEyes]

I am so sorry to hear about the rise in the death toll in Christchurch and had seen that on the tv last night. Everyone must feel so helpless right now and I am glad other countries are helping out. The photos make it look like a war zone. Prayers to all involved.

Miss KittyKit~Happy Birthday! It sounds like you have wonderful plans set and having a lovely and pampering day! Make the most of it!!

Lou~I will make sure I carry around some glitter before I knock off anymore Bimbos standing in my way. Actually, I went to the mall and hauled last night. Pics on the haul thread. The place was insane. I had forgotten this has been vacation week from school so everyone was there, including tons of security! I bought some uber fun stuff at MAC and Sephora but really could not browse and the line was about 12 people thick! I would not have minded knocking down a few of the teens in there that were trying everything on and buying nothing! The Sephora staff was everywhere watching their fast fingers. Some of the things I wanted they did not have or don't carry and a lot was simply out of stock. But I realize why I never get into MUFE. The row where it is in is a mess. It looks like little kids have eaten all the lipsticks and everything is smeared all over the place. By the time I got out of the store my hands had so many bizarre colours on me that my husband was wiping them off with a antibacterial wipe like I was a little kid who just ate ice cream! It makes the line look sticky and unappealing. And sadly they are the only ones who sell it! Hmm.... I can only imagine this place in the summer months!

I'm a bit off today. Mr. Stomach and Mr. Nose seem to want to rule my day. Grrr. Snow last night, snow again tonight and tomorrow. I think more next week, too. But I sold another 100.00 of tarot last night and another 100.00 this morning to the same person. It is her birthday and her husband is buying all these decks for her. Jackpot! lol She wants more so I need to go through my collection and ferret out another set! Hubby said I am making more money in a day than he is and without the frustration! Hehehehe.....Guilt free shopping!!!

oh yeah! generally anywhere like a department store turns into hell at school holiday time! it's like no display is safe! they even pile into my store sometimes because we have a big sofa in the middle of the shop. they like to race to it and sit there making inappropriate comments at the tv! not cool! now i tend to spot a big group coming down the street so i will race to the sofa myself (if it is vacant) and sit in the middle of it. so when the kids run around to sit on it they see me plonked there and then leave the store again! lol! i'm so mean!

maybe one day you will get to see MUFE counter that looks appealing. it really is wonderful stuff and it's a shame that the display is wrecked by the end of the day. i guess placed are short staffed due to cut backs so there just isnt enough time to do everything!

and sorry you still arent feeling too great but yay on making lots of money with no stress! that lady's hubby must be very kind buying her all those! pick out more to sell asap!!! while he is feeling generous! lol!
