But then you'd have to invest in a year supply of those oil absorbing sheets!  I have to have those things on me at all times!  lol  But I know what you're saying, my girls have dry skin and they are always complaining of dry, itchy skin.  I wish we could all have "normal" skin -- what would that be like??

Bonitinha, Bis ~ I have both the curse of oily and dry skin, esp. in winter. My nose would still be oily, but my parts of my cheek are dry... *sigh*. Now I tried moisturizing differently for the T-zone vs rest of face. I also had to have those oil absorbing sheets . I wonder what's normal skin is .

Elegant ~ Your back is hawt!!

.

Honey&Lemon, HerGreyness ~ Thanks, then I'd rather spend the money on 2 Chanel lippies

.

Bis, Elegant ~ I wanted to try the Chanel VA as well, but alas my foundation run out without a warning... (a downside of the Armani). Last time I checked there were no shade match for me though (or at least they didn't carry it in Germany)

Elegant, you don't look flat.. you look very curvaceous.. in fact, I just showed the monitor to my assistant who is working with me at home for a few more minutes and she said.. WOW! .. you look like hotness personified.. lol.

cutie.. I know what you mean.. lol.

the ByTerry products so far, have a lovely non fragrance and feel heavenly -- now comes the hard parts, the actual testing, tasting, as well as trying under different conditons. Will keep advised -- the foundations look super smooth .. wait till I put them in the oven. lol.

cutie, that ticks me off -- I had to buy another foundation in a lighter shade (Chanel VitaA) because my tan went down the drain basically... there is no middle shade either so I will have to use two foundations to mix in portions with this line.

[/quote] We'll mix you in as well, no problem Try again with the VLA, at least they have it now in B10, which for Chanel here is already pretty light. Not for other, but give it a try. I have taken up sending Chanel regularly emails about their limited shade range, maybe you could too? If they never get feedback they will not change anything. How light is the Armani foundation? Did you use the skin fabric? I like something that is very lightweight and just evens out the redness in my skin. While I love the VLA, I wish it was a bit lighter. The Armani foundation looks great on you, so maybe I'll give it a try for winter.

I got my Lancome lippies today

I got Fleur de lis, which is a nice plummy pink. Has a bit more shimmer that I thought -- I'll have to see how it looks on the lips. I also got Love It! which is a pretty pink color. The 5 free lippies are quite nice. Although my youngest already smashed the top of one ("It Girl" -- I love the name!)

I told her "only mommy can open it". I have caught her many times admiring my Chanel lipsticks -- she is an addict in the making . . .

Well all of you are so incredibly sweet & kind to this ol lady

thanks so much! I needed a pick me up! Need a booty smiley

But seriously, it looks so flat at the top that I could probably set a plate on it

Love your lip trio!

anyone else having problems with the site loading weird/slowly today? agggh

ps....I have to stop looking at Winthrops links....they get me in trouble

Cutie - I have the same problem with the dry cheeks. Especially if I exfoliate. But since I started using that KS CytoCell it has helped in the texture greatly.

Elegant, if you're old, I am ancient

 

[User38]

[elegant-one]

[elegant-one]

HG - read it again - I wasn't finished my laptop is jumpin all over the place

 

[User38]

I think only C! remembered my pic.. it is 2 years old, so add 2 years of pain and suffering, and I look the same but with dark black hair -- with a new crop.

you are too kind to an old bag..

 

[User38]

I don't know if in my mind that I can picture you with short dark hair...but even bald you would still be GAWGEOUS my dear...wow

 

[User38]

lol.. ty ty.. you are too sweet..

but, in truth, the dark dark hair makes me look paler/ more alabaster looking and the short chop really accentuates my face.. or so the Mario Bros who cut my hair say..

I will take new pics = I need to for business again with the dark hair and show you guys.

 

[Bonitinha]

HG -- you are stunningly beautiful and I see why these men are chasing you down for dates!! Well, between you and Elegant -- man, I can only hope to be as hot as both of you

I'd love to see the dark hair . . .

 

[User38]

thank you Bonitinha.. I don't think men chase anyone for beauty.. they want the hoo hoo..and with me, they don't get it

I am sitting here tallying up my market losses in two days

horrible, but I got caught in the mess.
