Lou, your sig. cracks me up..

"I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you." - Buffy

It reminds me of when a friend and I used to work out together at the gym and there was this real bitchy girl there, slim but not so attractive. She would hurry and jump on the spinning bike that one of us would always use. When she walked by us my friend would lean over to me and say "Yeh well we can always lose weight but she can't lose that ugly face" I know not nice, shame on us.

My daughter has a tee I got her one time that says "If you can't be nice at least look nice"


OK it's past 2 AM here so I should go to bed but my brain is still all swirly. Helped my daughter again tonight edit another paper. She has papers in every class every week and sometimes more than one per class, even art appreciation. She is very dyslexic (so am I so you may notice that at times) anyway I've been trying to help her go over her spelling. Spell check doesn't help when you have a word that is actually a word. We are both ADD and dyslexic, what a team we make. "Lysdexics Untie" hehe .....

hee hee! yeah i have loved that Buffy quote since i first heard it 10 years ago! lol! it does amuse me! and that is funny what you said about the bitchy girl at the gym! it's mean but if she was nasty anyways then i'm sure you can get away with saying it! lol!

Oh and i have never noticed anything with the way you post that would make me think you are dyslexic! so that is good! it is very kind of you to help your daughter out like that! it must be tough for her having so many papers to write and then having to spend an age editing it due to her dyxlexia.

today my macbook actually arrives! hooray! i am very excited for it. also it looks like my mac haul will arrive today too so it will be a whole day of goodies! lucky me! but then i wont be buying anything for the rest of the month!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ You have lots of new goodies to enjoy! The macbook must be the most exciting! Have fun!

You are a great mum, helping her with the editing. I've never noticed you are dyslexic. What is ADD? Anyway, were you asking about mufe lift concealer? I tried it today and it wore well without any creasing or sliding for 9hrs, at a normal environment, not too hot and sweaty. I love the texture, very light and yet covers my dark circles. And it is not cakey and doesn't emphasize my fine lines. I'm very impressed and this may be my first hg concealer!

Jen- love your nails, gorgeous! I think the black cracked nail polish needs a bright/sparkly base. I didn't buy it but I tried it before and it is very artistic and pops with a nice base.

Becky~Thank you! I am having a lot of fun! I agree about the BB blushes. She has some gorgeous colours and her shimmery blushes are very shimmery! Maybe someday I will pick some up. Right now I am just so disappointed with the size in comparison to the price and have never seen such a small amount of blush in my life in any line! I thought it was an eyeshadow! It is the same size as her e/s. That is insane! The palette I looked at was those Pink ones that just recently came out for 60.00 each. I saw both, the paler one would be the one for me, but again, lots of packaging, very little product and nothing particularly unique about it that I can't replicate the look with what I have. Right now I am looking for unique items that other lines cannot offer me. I bought some uber glittery e's from UD and if I like them I will definitely pick up a lot more. The look equivalent to wearing MAC pigments!

Miss QQ~No plans to mix the two foundations. Both are close enough to my skin that I could wear either at any given time. If I find one is dark than the other then I will use that one in the summer. I am hoping to use one of my HD blushes today! Woot!

ShadowAddict~I am so proud of you and your son. My nephew is ADD and a little dyslexic. Schooling was terrible for him, but during Middle School he found a tutor whom he really like and worked well with him. He kept her through all of HS and was able to graduate on time. Now he has a very prosperous plumbing company of his own and a fabulous reputation. He is so professional and I'm so proud to see him doing so well. He has his Journeyman degree and keeps going for other things. Wise young man! Gosh, he will be 25 this year! Yikes!

Lou~I think the reason it was easy to leave MAC was because I have stuff coming in the mail. Hehehehe.... I am sure next time I will get something or other. I just wanted to get over to Sephora and play while it was quiet! Of course, the sales ladies kept coming over ever 3 minutes asking to help me. Nooooooo. Go away. I just want to shop on my own! I think I was checked up on about 6 times.

Will get those pics up soon. I have 600.00 worth of tarot to send out. I want to see my den floor again so I can put up more bunches! Tallyho!

P.S.~I remember that quote, Lou, but I can't remember which episode it was. Was that the BuffyBot speaking to Gloria?

 

[kittykit]

Hi ladies, I'm back!

As usual, work can be stressful, sometimes it can be fun when you're working with cool people. I had a chance to go to Antwerp yesterday, did some shopping - surprisingly no cosmetics but food *lol* I walk passed by MAC and didn't see WW collection so I thought maybe I can drop by my counter tomorrow and see if they already have it. Chanel Jersey Rose lipstick was the only cosmetic I bought at the duty-free stores (I bought more French cheese, wine and even beer!). Chanel cosmetics are over-priced here... around US$50 for one lipstick, no kidding! I paid US$32 for Jersey Rose which I believe is the normal price in the US?

When I came home, Sandy was the only one to welcome me because hubby's left for business in Germany yesterday. He won't be back until next Wednesday. Boo I'll be spending my weekend studying hard like there's no tomorrow. I wish I can make it. Haha.

Wow, kittykat! That is so costly for a l/s! That must be frustrating and I hope you get to travel to other countries nearby that have things priced lower. I hated it when my hubby went on business trips. I had fun for a while, but was so glad when he got back and life was just more relaxing and back to normal. Luckily he no longer has them as they do conference calls on the phone and computer lectures. Yay for modern technology!!

I put some of my new goodies to work today. I LOVE the HD blushes by MUFE and plan to get more. They are amazing and you just put a teeny bit on the back of your hand, then tap it into your check and blend. You can build as you want. My husband loved the look. I also love my new UD e/s that have tons of glitter. I was hoping this photo would show all the glitter on my eyes and face, but no such luck...stupid flash. I will try later with different lighting. At any rate...the Pink Fairy look!

 

[LMD84]

oh wow! you look so lovely and i love your head band! so beautiful!!

my macbook and black box of lippies arrived today! i am so happy! right now i am charging the macbook while i'm on my netbook watching neighbours, then i shall have dinner and then finally turn the beast on! hee hee!

 

[ElvenEyes]

You must be so excited!!! I need to see your lippies! Pics please! And neighbours. Are you watching neighbours as in your next door neighbours or is this a show? lol Good luck with the beast!

Now...who has the best glittery eyeliner? UD or MUFE? Or someone else. I was looking at some last night and meant to pick some up, then got all excited and distracted and forgot to. I can't even remember what line I was looking at!!

lol! neighbours as in the australian soap! hee hee! i love it! it helps me switch off from work so i always watch it as soon as i get home with a cup of tea in my hand! hee hee!

and nyx do really nice glitter liners and they are super cheap!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Hee hee. I was getting scared, Lou! I was beginning to think you were super entertained by watching your neighbours come and go and was getting very worried about you! lol

I am a total Buffy nerd, so no problem there! I have to get the DVD's because I can't stand watching them on Logo and having scenes chopped, etc. We lived our lives around watching Buffy. Drusilla is so twisted, she is a blast! The whole cast was great and the only thing I really didn't like was when Giles went off for a while. It was never the same once they blew up the library! Though I did love the Thanksgiving episode at his house where the indians attack and keep shooting arrows into Spike. lol Ah, good times. Hehehehe...

I wonder what brand I was looking at. Are the NYX glitter liners liquid or pencils? NYX is not sold in any store around here so I have to buy all my NYX online. It rots! I want pretty purples and pinks and other colours that glitter like mad!

Some idiot real estate guy just called to ask if we would be selling our house in the next few months because he has some interested buyers. And it was for real. Um...great. But where are we supposed to live? I don't think so! Jeepers. I have had neighbours ask, because they bought the same style house but built on over the garage and finished off the cellars, then their kids grew up, moved out and they now have too much room. The nerve of some people. It is my home. I am not going anywhere! Weirdos!

Lol! yeah i dont tend to spy on our neighbours! to be fair we cant really see them anyway because our house doesn't face them that well - we only see into the people opposites kitchen and that is it. and since the family moved out just before christmas we havent seen much of the new people. they seem to be a young couple and the chap is in the raf like many people are that live on our street!

and i love that thanksgiving episode!! so freaking funny! but i do agree that after giles left it went down hill a little. and yes drucilla was amazing! i loved her character but faith is my all time favourite. she should have been in it for so much longer in my opinion!

and that is crazy that people are ringing up to see if they can buy your house! lol! fair enough if you were selling but to assume that you are is just crazy! on the plus side it must mean that you have a very lovely house!

oh and guess what i am typing on right now?! my macbook pro! yay!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Yay! I bet you love it! Is it awesome?

Next time they call up I can say no, but I have some tarot decks for sale. Interested????? lol Hehehehe....

 

[shadowaddict]

MissQQ--Thanks for the review on the MUFE concealer. I will definitely have to check that out.I have problems with creasing there and have been on the lookout for a good undereye concealer.

ADD is attention-deficit disorder. Also there is ADHD which is attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder attenaaaattention-deficit hyperactivity disorder attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder . Also there .

Debi--your look is really pretty, a nice fresh look.

My daughter has struggled with this since 2nd grade. At that time she was in public school. We moved to this county because it is suppose to have the best school system in the state. It is great if your child fits inside their square. They did not know how to teach a child with a high IQ that has a learning disability. It was very frustrating constantly having meetings with them and ready to yank our hair out. Finally after 4th grade we pulled her out and put her in a private school that also taught students with learning differences. It worked well until they had administration problems so we pulled her from there after 7th grade. There was a great college prep school near us that was only for above average IQ and learning differences but was very expensive. But what do you do when it's your child. If we had left her in the public school she would not have received the individualized program that she need. So we put off remodeling our house and made cuts and enrolled her in that school. At the time it started out about $17,000 per year. By the time she was a senior the tuition was $26,000 and that did not even include textbooks or uniform. I think it is now around $35,000. I don't think she could have made it to college without it. If you've heard of Martha Ingram that is always on the Forbes list she contributed millions to get this school going also a family by the name of Currey. It is called Curry Ingram Academy. They have a 100% sucess rate of their graduates being accepted to universities and colleges all over. It has very small class sizes, highly trained teachers, and amazing fine arts programs.

I think it also helped her from being around a lot of drugs and drinking that goes on everywhere. Of course there were kids that did that, but the students and parents had to sign a code of conduct contract each year. So even if you were caught doing something of that nature that wasn't even a school activity or school related you would be expelled. One girl got pregnant and she was out immediately. Thank goodness we are only about 15 minutes away because there are families that relocate from 26 states and three countries to attend there and some comute each day 2hrs each way. And of course we pay tons for college for special programs. So we drive old cars and will wait and replace our carpet and all later. But she received a great education and participated in many activities. She was even on the student council and her senior year was student council president.

Lou--sounds like you're having a major MAC attack day WOW! two great MAC deliveries in one day, what fun.

 

[Miss QQ]

shadow - I have problems with creasing there too since last year. The fine lines were forming at an alarming rate (considering I'm not yet 30) so I started mositurizing diligent. If the concealer is too heavy or I powder too much, then the creasing is bad. Good luck with the concealer! You are a great parent! It is worth all the sacrifices for the education she is receiving. The school sounds very prestigious.


Debi - love the pink fairy look. I love pink! Is that the mufe Hd #4 on your cheeks? Glad you love them! Now you need to recommend me which are the must haves. Yes I love that it is buildable but it takes a bit of time so it's not my first choice when I'm in a hurry. But the finish is very pretty and natural, like a glow from within. I don't know which glittery e/l can nice though I have a few mac pearlglides and a mac liquid glittery e/l.

Lou - you have fun with your macbk! When I come home from work I quickly remove my makeup and shower before I have my dinner because I'm so hungry lol.

Hello! Welcome back! Yes that is the price of the Chanel l/s in US. It sucks that you have to pay so much more, and Chanel is supposed to be a European brand. I don't have JR but it's gorgeous and on my wishlist. Good luck and stay focus on your studying!

lol! to be fair when i get home from work and i have my cup of tea and watch neighbours i sometimes have a snack! usually a yogurt! then when nick gets home about 30 minutes later we do dinner. although last night we had dinner quite late because i was busy faffing around!

today at work i am hoping for another busy day. we are doing so well this week and i am so pleased with my guys. i am hoping to do our weekly target today so that tomorrow there is no pressure and we can have a 'free' day if you get what i mean! it's just me and one other guy today though so hopefully we wont be so busy that we cant help everybody!

 

[Miss QQ]

Yes I was very impressed with the macbk battery life! But after a few months (I can't remember exactly how long) the battery life wasn't that powerful anymore. Oh yes, Lou, just to caution you, I dropped mine twice as I was carrying it in my house because the surface of the notebook is very smooth and slippery. So I bought the plastic cover later on and am very careful now so it doesn't slip.

Have a good weekend, ladies! A shoutout to Susanne and Nora, how are you ladies doing?

h that is dissapointing if the battery life doesnt stay as powerful and i will be buying a slip case (cant find a pretty one at the moment) so hopefully that will make it easier to carry and also less slippy. i did notice that it tends to slip on my desk which kinda sucks! i nmeed a silicone mat or something to put it on.

and yes hello to Nora and Susanne. i know Nora hasnt got internet access right now. and i guess Susanne is busy with school work!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Good morning!

Miss QQ~Yes, that is HD #4. And they are not time consuming at all. Rather the opposite. You just dot, blend. If you want more, dot, blend. I do it with my fingers. For me creme blushes are faster because you don't have to pull out a brush and make sure it doesn't fling in places you don't want it to. You have complete control. If you find it is too bright, just mush it around a bit more and apply powder which cools it down a bit. I love it. I plan to get several more! lol They are fun to use and I am hooked!

Lou~That is awesome about the battery life on your computer! I am big on long lasting batteries and have an antique of a cell phone, but we won't change. My husband uses his all day long for conference calls and only has to recharge it about once a week. It is amazing. Not pretty, but does the job! lol

Today has started out weird. My father wrote saying my mother went to her surgeon complaining about more back pain, but he said he will not do any more surgeries on her. She is supposed to be doing exercises, physical therapy, occupational therapy and taking meds to reduce fracture incidents, but she has refused all. This is nothing to do with age. This is her personality, one that was very hard to grow up with, especially when my sister and I were young and did not understand her depressive moods. I can't imagine living like her. Never wanted the kids she had, no hobbies, no exercise, hated cooking and baking, never learned to drive. I would go mad! So...we will see what happens. Either she gets her act together and tries to fight for a healthier lifestyle, or she will be in a nursing home always in bed, always in pain. Her choice.

Then I put my makeup on. Obviously I am tired because I could not get my soft brown e/s to match so I kept checking with hubby "Hun, I know you are trying to get work done, but can you just tell me if my eyes match???" lol Poor guy. That is what he gets for working from home! So I kept piling it on. I was going for soft eyes, bronzer and glitter lips. I instead I got dramatic eyes, too brown and neutral lips. Ah, well. At least Sephora responded, realized my order was just sitting in their warehouse going no where, and sent it out for 2 day delivery no charge. Yay. MAC is on its way too and hopefully so are those money orders for the decks. I can't sell anymore until these are done and delivered. It is insane over here. I look like a business.

Let's see what other kind of trouble I can get into!

eta...Here I am with NARS Laguna Bronzer...pretending it is summer again...sigh....

 

[LMD84]

debi i am sorry to hear about your mother. it is sad that she is so depressed with everything like that. but i guess if she wont help herself then there is nothing that anybody else can do for her. it is such a shame and i am so sorry that you guys know that she never really wanted her children. that must be heartbreaking. i guess all you can do is stay positive. perhaps if she suffers from depression she could see a dr about that?

I tried to get her to see a doctor ages ago, but she would not go. In truth my parents needed marriage counseling but came from an era where people didn't go to "shrinks". You just lived miserably together. And that was the toxic environment that I grew up with. No fighting or abuse, but no love either. Not a happy home. Thus, I became very dependent on hobbies and my best role models were teachers and my friends parents, a nurse, etc., who were my stepping stones as I grew up. Love them all to bits! My mother is not so far gone that she doesn't know what she is doing. This is all choice, a lot of it is for attention and since she knows I won't play along with her games she won't come over to my house anymore! lol Hmm! I mean games and crying wolf, which is bad because now it is hard to know when to take her seriously or not. And I am sure the doctor feels the same way. When you are 87 years old you are going to have some aches and pains. Sometimes you just need to grit your teeth and deal with it. She couldn't when she was 30, she won't now. When we go over to visit (planned) she uses a cane and a walker, but the past two times I went over it was on our way back from the mall and unexpected, and she was bopping around the house with neither! Selective illness!! Hmmm! See what I mean? And when my father goes off bowling, she hops on Facebook! She quickly zips off whenever she sees I am on because I know their schedule and I have caught her out of bed! lol Little old lady is going to drive me nuts! If I call to see how she is she just starts with "oooooh, aaaah, uuuugh, horrible". You get the picture. A bowl of cheer! So, I just sometimes have to step away and realize I can't do anything about it. It is up to them. Let my older sister deal with it for a while. When I had surgery 4 1/2 yrs ago neither my parents nor my sister called, visited or sent me a card. One of these days I will be in my grave and they won't even know it! So..you know the cute smiley with the middle fingers sticking up? That is how I feel about the situation...but I am afraid to use the smiley in case I would get banned and then who will I talk to about MU???

On a much happier note...some money orders arrived! 3 boxes went out, only two left. I can see my floor again! I will never try to sell this much at once. It is too confusing! I am rearranging my makeup drawers a bit and the spinner for incoming goodies! I need another drawer already! lol Help! Once all the decks arrive at their destinations and my customers are happy I can start putting up more, but not until then and I will only do 3 at a time. 5+ is insane!
