I have been enjoying the very pretty long dresses that are so flirty and feminine. I want them all! And I like the cute Barbie Doll look Reese Witherspoon sported. I love all the elegant dresses, the false eyelashes, clean makeup, hair in ponytails look. Am I the only one thinking "That looks like MAC's Well-Dressed blush and that looks like MAC's Sweetie l/s!"??? And I love that the awards are being spread out among a lot of people. I won't spoil for anyone who has not yet seen it, so just saying love the mix of old Hollywood and new, and that I really don't know who is going to win tonight because there were no super incredible amazing movies, but a lot of very well done ones, so it is rather even and glad I am not someone who has to choose!! Tough job!
Bimbos unite!

I watched the red carpet pre-show but taped the award as I was helping my daughter edit a paper that is due tomorrow morning.
I have to say there were a lot of duds on the red carpet. Some were just down right ugly. I thought one of the most beautiful was Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey 's girlfriend. She was stunning in that gown. It was gorgegous. I also loved Natalie Portman. She looked so elegant and the gown was beautiful on her. Probably the best red carpet gown I've seen on a pregnant woman. I also thought Hailee Steinfeld looked just adorable and very age appropriate, unlike so many young teens we've seen before trying to look too sexy.
Jennifer Hudson really wowed me in that gown. She looks great now. Don't get me wrong I think she has always been pretty but now that she has lost weight and is fit she just shines. She deserves it after such a horrific couple of years.
I always get such a kick out of Helene Bonham Carter and her quirky outfits, although this evening she wasn't as out there as usual . I just adore her and she is so funny. I loved her as the red queen in Alice in Wonderland.

i actually think Jennifer Hudson looked a little better when she was a touch bigger. i guess it is just different tastes i guess. dont get me wrong she looks amazing and has done so well. but i feel like she looks nicer with a touch more curve to her. although i thought she was stunning when she was at her biggest. she will be a pretty girl no matter what size. it's just goos she is healthier now.
i am back at work! i dont want to be here! although what made it better was that some mac postcards arrived that i ordered off ebay which made me happy. it's the little things right?! it has all the disney cards in the pack which is why i bought it. itwas only £4 for about 11 cards which i think is ok. i stick them up in my make up room and use them for inspiration

^^ Miss you and have a safe trip!
Jenn- get well soon! Hope the tests will pinpoint the problem and they will give you medicine that make you good as new quickly.
shadow- I like Steinfeld's sparkly dress too. I agree, Helena Carter dress is quite subtle today and I love her character in Alice in Wonderland! I love how she screams, "Off with his head!" LOL

Yay for Colin Firth! The King's Speech won the biggest prizes, and Inception won most of the technical ones. I watched both movies so I'm happy. The channel I watch is from the US so it is very US style. But there is Kelly Osbourne who cheers for the British actors. Not trying to start a war here, lol, but sometimes I find the UK style more interesting and funny. Or maybe it's just because I get bored from watching mostly US style shows and so the UK ones give me nice surprises. Enjoy the postcards!

Peeling my eyes open. I'm so tired of staying up after midnight every night these days. I must get back on a regular routine again! Rain and freezing rain today. It is so dismal out. It looks like the beginning of January and I can't believe tomorrow is March! Enjoyed the Oscars last night, not so hot on Charlie Sheen's interview. He sounds as messed up as Mel Gibson. Very pathetic.
Question time! All my life I have applied foundation with my fingers. I thought it was easier and just faster. Ah, but now I have started applying it with a brush and what a difference! Smoother, better coverage, feels so silky. I think my foundation brush just became my most favourite one. So, what do you do? Fingers, sponges or brush application of foundation? I am guessing it is like painting and the difference between finger painting and using a brush on a canvas!
Question 2! MUFE. Finally thinking of ordering something online via Sephora. How is the foundation, does anyone use HD and if you are pale like me, which one do you use? I am a NW15. The Aqua line liners...how do they compare to UD 24/7? Or are they not a pencil? I am also tempted to try one of those pump cream blushes. Has anyone tried those?

Hi Debi! I didn't catch any interviews of Charlie Sheen so I didn't see him in bad shape. I just googled and he is suing now? Hope he gets cleaned up. Oh yes, it's March! I can't believe it too, because the winds are still cold here. Hope you get on your regular routine. My routine is messed up now too, I manage to fall asleep at 4am only!
I apply foundation with foundation brush or duo fibre brush. Have been using duo fibre brush for a few years until I bought the foundation brush late last year and now I prefer it! I can't really do makeup with my fingers, except the occasional glitters or gel/cream blushes. I recently bought the MUFE hd foundation in 117, good match for my NC20 skin. I would guess 110 is a good match for you, since it is very light, like 115. BUt 110 is more pink, which I think suits you. 117 is for me as I'm slightly yellow. The aqua liners are pencils, and not as soft and creamy as 24/7 for most of the shades, but they go on smoothly. They don't budge but are easily removed at the end of the day and come in many shades. I have the gel HD blush in #14, a light peach. I use both fingers or brush to apply. Because it is very light, I tend to blend it with my fingers until it disappears lol. But the colour is beautiful, and it gives a very natural, glow from within look. And I can top it up with powder blush too.

Ooooh, I am drooling over those MUFE HD blushes. I want about 5 colours. Which do you think is best for pale skin? I keep looking online at swatches but everyone's skin tone is different and they rarely bother to say what they are. Big important overlook on blogs and videos, IMO. I think I have like 6 sitting in my Sephora cart. I really don't need 6. Do I?
sadly i dont have any of the blushers so i dont know.Ooooh, I am drooling over those MUFE HD blushes. I want about 5 colours. Which do you think is best for pale skin?

and yeah it is true that bloggers should put what foundation shade they are so people know. you tell em Debi!i got to watch some of the oscars at work today when we were quiet! i must say that although i love anne hathaway i dont think she was a good host. james franco was better but still not perfect. i loved all the dresses and stuff though! oh and i was so pleased that christian bale got best supporting role. i actually love him so much! i know he is meant to be a bit of an arse hole in real life but he is such a good actor and in my opinion the most attractive man alive (apart from nick of course!) what is odd though is that he had a slight london accent when accepting his oscar but he is welsh! perhaps he lost his accent many years ago?!

I didn't catch the Charlie Sheen interview either. Quite frankly I am sick of him and his antics. I do hope he cleans himself up for his children. I really like his co-stars and feel he is being totally disrespectful to them. He gives narcissism a whole new meaning. I flipped the tv on this morning and The View happened to be on with one of his friends which is one of the radio hosts that CS has called in to. He would not let the women get a word in as he was defending CS. Barbara Walters finally cut him off and went to a break as she was rolling her eyes. I didn't watch when they came back from break. I'd had enough.
Yay! for Colin.

Lou--wow, 19 lbs that's great, your hard is showing you it has paid off.
I too apply foundation with clean fingers. I think I saw Bobbi Brown on a show one time saying to apply this way. I use the #130 to get around my nose and any areas that need blending better.
Jenn- i'm glad you are feeling better. Hopefully these tests will rule out anything serious. Have the drs said if this could be from the yucky liner or do they thik this happened at the same time by chance? It would be odd if so. I can't believe it did not play at least some part in your illness.

I guess the only downfall I see in using a brush for foundation is that a lot of product is lost in the brush rather than on the face. And the fact that I have to wash it now, every day! Still, I liked the more even/polished look and you are right, ShadowAddict, it is mostly in the nose area. It gets into all the nooks and crannies!
I love Anny Hathaway but I think they both did bad job hosting. It is such a classy Hollywood night and the brought it down to the level of hanging out at someone's house for popcorn and a movie! Not a bad thing, but not appropriate and Anne's hooting for each host and winner didn't really go with her gorgeous gowns! 10-20 years from now she would probably make the perfect elegant hostess.
Jen~I hope all is improving and that you are getting some results from the testing to see what is going on. Wishing you the very best...we miss you!
Charlie Sheen is wired. He is either on something or needs to be on something. Some are wondering if he is bipolar and it is possible, but he also sounds schizophrenic or something, the way he is twisting things around, his belief system, how he is perceiving the world as coming after him to take him out, etc. I have worked in business with people who have this condition and it is really hard. They don't know what they are saying and it is hard to find just the right dose to balance their brain chemistry so they can think clearly. It can be done, but they have to accept and be willing to try and he seems to be spiraling downward. It is always sad to see and freaks me out, too.
I am using my Laguna bronzer again. We had quite an ice storm and no one went out. Far too dangerous and slippery. So, a good day to keep practicing how to put it on. Love the look, though. I can't believe tomorrow is March 1st, the day we traditionally put our screen door in. We still have a Christmas wreathe up that we can't reach from the snow drifts and about 2 1/2 feet of snow on the ground, not counting the 4 foot + piles of snow all over the place! I want spring!!

Debi... About Mufe HD... I love it. I've used it for a quite a while now, switching between that and Mat Velvet and haven't really felt any need to switch to another brand's foundation. I'm MAC NC30 and MUFE 115, doubt that helps you at all but what the hell, I'll throw it in there
Lou.. Congrats on the weight loss, that is awesome!
I love James Franco to the extent that he really can't do me wrong. Anne Hathaway... I went from not being able to stand her to tolerating her to wanting to like her but I just can't. She seemed a tad phony to me while she was hosting.
Charlie Sheen is nuts. At this point I'm just annoyed that I have to hear about him no matter what I'm watching.

I'm already starting to chicken out on the HD foundation after reading through 17 pages devoted to it here on the forum! Some find it too drying, a lot of people breaking out from it, colour swatches for my fair skin look too yellow. I should stick with what I have. It works, it matches my skin perfect and flawlessly. I think I have cut the HD blush down to three....

Hi everyone!
Testing went well today, and I go back on Friday for more. Woohoo! I love losing 5 hours of my day to hospital time. Yay!
I won't hear back for a few weeks about my tests, but I'll be sure to let you know what happens. It seems my makeup poisoning and illness were two separate things (although the Feline Fiasco can't have helped very much!) so they're really focusing on my respiratory system. For now, I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things. You gals are so sweet to keep checking in on me!
I trained today for the first time in weeks... yikes am I sore! It was good to feel somewhat back to normal, though. I was also bad and bought myself some MAC treats... I got 3 Sheen Supremes (Bare Again, Ultra Darling and Insanely It) and Pink Cult blush from Jeanius. I'm sooo excited for these, but sooo broke for the rest of March. And it's still February! lol I guess I'll be giving up makeup purchases for lent! (With the exception of my QC haul, which I have been saving and waiting for months in advance!! That's allowed, right? Maybe I need to be more specific and say SPONTANEOUS makeup purchases....)
Off to bed because I'm early to rise tomorrow, but I'll try to catch up more tomorrow!

Jenn--good to see you back here. What a pain to wait weeks for tests results. I hate going for stuff like that. I've been putting off my annual exam with the gyno and my mammogram. I'm a few months off so I gotta get those appts made. ARG!!
Way to go on getting back to working out, glad you're feeling up to it. I know you're sore now but I'm sure very glad you did it.
I have been eyeing Pink Cult blush from the description. I may have to get it. I also want at least two of the blushes from Quite Cute so still trying to decide on this one. Let us know what you think about it and if you think there is anything close to it.
Debi--I've been thinking the same thing on Charlie Sheen he has to be bi-polar. He is showing classic signs of mania. With his rapid speech, can't sit still, and eyes bugging out from no sleep, to me he is clearly in a manic state. He will be on 20-20 Tuesday night. I caught a clip of that interview as well as the one on the Today show. I read that radar.com, (which I'm not familiar with) and 20-20 gave him drug tests and he passed them both. So if he's not on speed or something I would be shocked if it was something other than a manic episode. Someone needs to put some lithium or some other type of mood stabilizer in his meals

^^ Enjoy your day and hope you love the new hair! I've got a couple of strands of white hair but since last year, I noticed more of them. :shock: I've never coloured my hair before but perhaps I need to look into that soon. This Thursday, there is a pre-sale for friends of Ikea (members) so I'll be heading there to see if there are anything I need. I want to eat the meatballs and $1 hotdog! For the MUFE HD blush, I think #5 is a popular shade. That said, 4, 6 and 7 are very pretty too. I haven't watched the Oscar awards show yet, only watched the red carpet. As I said it is not shown here live, and this wednesday night they are showing a 2-hr highlights show of the award, so I can see the hosts in action. Too bad about Anne Hathaway though. I thought she sounded not herself when they interviewed her prior to the actual show when she was rehearsing. I'm late and just saw the info on mac's Quite Cute collection. I love this mac's annual spring collection, like Sugarsweet. Maybe I'll get my first plushglass. How do you ladies find it? I saw some swatches of them at the thread and Lou, you have Girl heart boy! Very pretty!
Very pretty!Jen~Nice to see your face! I hope things continue to improve and that is good you felt up to working out! Don't overdo and have a relapse! I know what you mean about the MU collections and having to put a lid on some of the buying. I am going crazy finding more and more I want to try out, but I have to justify having all these lipsticks! I just keep finding something so unique and fun! Shame on me!
ShadowAddict~Yes, he does seem like he is definitely in a manic state. These things tire me. He needs to straighten himself up and get a life again.
Lou~Your weight loss is amazing! Congrats! If spring ever arrives I am hoping for more activity and getting slowly but surely back in shape! Have fun at the stylist today!
Miss QQ~Thanks for the suggestions on the HD blush. I have 2 cream blushes coming from Bobbi Brown and want to try these. They always look especially nice on me during the summer and they are fun. So working on a rouge/creme blush collection....just a little one, but nice colours. I have to check out the lastest at MAC. I have some grey e/s that I want. I have none in my collection and they go good on me. So, time to pick up a few shades!
And time to sell more tarot. Wish me luck! The den is such a staging area right now and I will be glad when it is back to being clean with no boxes, bubblewrap and rolls of tape all over the place!
BTW~Does anyone own Coach bracelets? I have my eye on a few and received a 25% off coupon in the mail yesterday. Oooooooh, fun! Hehehe..
