Thanks Lou! :D We had a really good night!

Lol at as being mental :p My friends are the same way now - they like having their makeup done (some are more adventurous than others lol) and getting recommendations, but that's about it for now! Although everyone loved my leopard print look last night :p

Yay for meeting Specktra people! Sounds like a fun way to spend your lunch break! :) And glad to hear you had fun at your friend's place! :)

This is just their regular primer. Basically it feels like unscented suntan lotion. My face already glows and is dewy because I use lots of moisturizer. Maybe I am suppose to use this instead of moisturizer? Hmm. If anything my face felt like a oil slick, and my hands were super greasy and had to wash them, and I only used a tiny bit. I also have dry skin, but this was just too greasy. I love my UD eye primer, but I think I can just go without a face primer in general, since it ruined my look rather than enhanced it in any way. But I will look into the matte one, too. Thanks for letting me know!

As promised, here's the safari/leopard look! If anyone's interested, I can post the makeup I used later, I just have to run off to work on this massive project again!:











And here's Jerome and I on our mini anniversary!! :) Plus a crazy mask I use with kids in drama peeking out from behind. lol

I had to rush this look, but I was still pretty happy with how it turned out! It was definitely fun for the night out! :)

Enjoy the sunshine if you have any today, ladies!

ElvenEyes,

I see you in NARS Shiap nail polish :) .. there's a matching lipstick too - how could any pink hearting woman resist??

My collection of nail polishes is most O.P.I., some Nicole, which is by O.P.I. These are both very good. My first MAC nail polish I didn't like and is still there in my collection with liquid separation as a reminder, wet & wild is cheap wearing, my Sally Hanson I used once and is a similar bad experience, Urban Decay only used once too, Revlon the colour and product didn't quite 'cut it', Nicole nail polish pens suck, Essie is an ok polish but the colours are lacking, I've tried Butter but didn't care too much for the colours - the texture is really nice though but can go chunky (a horror manicure story here), I have 4 NARS polishes and really love the colours - they're special and I don't know how else to describe it : I'm all about Jungle Red now, and Versaille is such an understated gem of a polish colour imo - downside: NARS doesn't have many colours and the square brush handle is a bit awkward.
... imo the NARS colours seem more in line with fashion and a pretty shiny polish (I use OPI base and top coat).


...

Okay...I need to know nail polish brands everyone likes the most. Top three maybe? I need to branch out every now and again. So far I am mostly an OPI girl. Sally Hanson is too thick, Essie is thin and streaky so you have to keep applying until you get it right. I need more variety of colours. Hmm...

Jen~I love your Safari look! It is so pretty and fun! It must go very well with your zebra striped nails! Next we will see you wearing J Peterman clothes and binoculars around your neck! Your BF is adorable. I love happy couples!!

WWJD~Thanks for the info on the NARS polishes! I will have to look that one up! I guess it will always be trial and error to find what works best for us. There are so many brands out there.

Sonu~TY for the compliment! Now I feel like a princess!

Lou~Trust me. You don't want to hear me sing. You would throw milkweed at me and boo me off stage! Hehehe...

Fun day so far. I started off with one of my buyers husbands calling me up to verify my address. This took me totally off guard and will be reported to that forum's mods. Way too creepy. Why not just reread the post or pm me again? Grrr...

That guy who was late in sending me money ended up sending me cash, in a big bubble wrap bag. Nuts. So I blurted right out on the thread that you don't send cash EVER and that I would not be held responsible. He is darn lucky I am honest. Got two packages sent out. 6 to go. I will be thrilled when this selling is over.

I treated myself to a trim (straight across and then layered bangs, but they need to grow out more for us to layer them the way I want.) Then they had tons of new OPI, so I bought the Katy Perry goodies and Shatter (yay, party tonight!) and several colours from the Texas line. So I am happy so far! Time for a super late lunch. Everything is off schedule today!

woah! yeah sending money in the post is never a good idea! he is lucky that it even arrived to you and that you are honest of course. very silly man indeed. although i am pleased that after all of this time he finally paid you. and yes that is very creepy about that guy actually calling you up. why was there a need to do that? and also how did he get your phone number? did you post it on the forum? make sure you are careful about who you give it out to. you don't want all the freaks and weirdos calling you up at goodness knows what time!

and yay for getting a trim! it always makes me feel better when my hair is freshly trimmed. no more split ends! oh and that is good that you got some more opi. i love the katy perry collection. but i bought the mini versions. i still haven't bought any of the texas collection yet! there is a nice green shade that i am after though!

oh it sounds like you have a fun evening planned! enjoy shopping and getting your hair done! what style are you going for this time?
:
We had some Thai food and had the best matcha ice-cream for dessert. I've another bob-cut this time but with shorter fringe. :) I've been a short-hair girl all my life. I only kept my hair shoulder-length once but didn't like it.

Speaking of trial and error I'm intrigued by the Inglot breathable nail polishes ... any experience?

Oh I haven't heard of those. I would be interested also. I swatched NARS Versaille s n/p and it seemed to streak on my nail. Maybe I need to try it again. It could have been that bottle perhaps.

Debi--I went to Sally's today also. I picked up a bottle of Seche Vite and they had a coupon there if you bought that you got a free bottle of Seche Clear base coat. I've never tried it before but the price was right:) The Sally's I go to keep a fresh stock of n/p although I'm sure not all the colors each line offers. I bought China Glaze "Digital Dawn" It's kind of a metallic dark peachy color but not too dark. I suck at trying to describe a color. Also picked up some nail files and cuticle creme. I make a mess with cuticle oils.

A lot of people love Smashbox Photo primer. They also have a light version. I'm just so oily it doesn"t work for me. I use their anti-shine on my t-zone and it works better than anything I've tried for that. If anyone wants to try it make sure you only use a tiny bit. If you get too much you'll get the little roly balls of it. I used my sample from Sephora for over 2 months.

I can't believe someone was dumb enough to send cash, what an idiot. He's lucky it even made it to you and like you said you were honest about it some people wouldn't have been.

Jenn--Love the leopard eyes, very fun. Jerome is such a cutie. Ya'll make a cute couple. I really like that mask in the background.

Sephora's OPI Already Famous is different from Butter's AHTQ. It's darker and more gold but not super glitter like, more shimmer. Again I suck at describing colors. Anyway it's very pretty and I find it very different from the other. I find Under My Trench Coat to be more similar to AHTQ. Oh geez I just looked at the Sephora site and they have a new OPI Ballerina collection. The Shiny Dancer looks really pretty if it's not too dark. I really hate that the store doesn't carry all the colors so you can't swatch them in person.

Sonu--Engineers are a whole different breed. My sister married one also. My husband's family is all engineers and accountants and mine are all teachers and creative types. I don't know how the hell we got together. Oh wait now I do we were both drunk. Not really however my cousin and I went to a college hang out bar and she knew my husband and his room-mate and introduced us but we were drinking. We are so oppisites. I guess it works in June we'll be married 24 years.

Lou--how cool to meet a fellow specktra lovely.


Not much going on here except that it is getting hot. The last couple days we've been near 80 degrees. Last week it got down in the 30's some nights and then warm again. I guess that's why we are at the top of the list for the worst state to live in for allergies. But I've been told our humidity is better for the skin than super dry areas. Perhaps that's just something they tell those of us in the south to give us hope on those hot summer days.

On another note the dr told my daughter-in-law any day now. She is 38 weeks so the baby is fully baked. Her mother said she had a feeling she'd go into labor today with the full moon. I remember my mom saying years ago that when she and my dad first got married she worked on the maternity ward at a hospital and every full moon that all the beds were filled. They always had more staff when it was going to be a full moon. I always thought that was funny, but who knows. My DIL is quite ready. The baby is laying low so putting a lot of pressure on the pelvic area. I told my son he better be waiting on her hand and foot and pampering her to no end. I told him "She's got a little you pouncing on her pelvis like a trampoline"

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

please send some of your hot weather to the uk! although it has been sunny and warm the past couple of days it hasn't been hot at all! although i guess you must feel a little uncomfortable with it being so hot in the night. and humidity is better for the skin but worse for the hair!! mine frizzes like crazy in Florida when it is humid there! not fun at all!

and that is so strange that so many babies are born on the full moon! i hope that your DIL has an easy birth and that it happens very soon. i know i wouldn't want anybody jumping on my pelvis! lol!

so the plans for today are house cleaning. then perhaps going into the city for a spot of shopping. although nick says he is very tired after working for so long yesterday so we shall see. if not perhaps we shall have lunch in a pub that is in our village and quite nice.

We had a great view of the moon last night, right from our living room. There were trees in the way, but luckily no leaves this time of year so we could still see it clearly. Usually when anything like this happens we get total cloud cover and don't see anything!

My ex and his mother came yesterday to see the kids, as it's my daughter's 13th birthday today. I couldn't believe it when he gave me a hug! He looks a complete mess now - not only is he very overweight, but he only has about half the teeth he should have, and is covered in psoriasis *shudder*. They took the kids for a meal, and around the charity shops (his favourite haunts) while I went to the supermarket. I lead such an exciting life

Everything's ready for tonight's birthday tea now, apart from icing one batch of cakes which are currently cooling on the rack. I'm really looking forward to the butterfly cakes :)

Hope everyone has a great day xxx

My daughter got loads of makeup for Christmas lol. She also likes it when I buy her stuff from the 'reduced' shelf at Boots. Today she got some 'Love Hearts' perfume and a set of 'Lipsmackers' lipglosses in fizzy drink flavours in a coke can shaped tin, and she's really chuffed with them :)

Hi shadowaddict,

Yes, Versaille I would describe as a gentle colour, requiring a relaxed touch to put on well (I think the NARS polish brushes are a tad stiff .. great for control and shaping the edges of the polish but by pushing as hard as usual, ie. OPI brush, then you can mechanically create streaks especially with 1st coat). Two coats, a light hand, and the result imo is subtly gorgeous and stylish. The colours are worth adjusting your technique for imo.

Congrats on your soon to be grandchild!!

I got a nephew on St. Patty's day - pretty awesome!

I saw the gorgeous full moon, right over the mall! We zipped in quickly for a visit to MAC (nothing), Sephora (some goodies) and Coach (no, not another bag, but a cosmetic bag and a few little keychains and charms I had my eye on). I did get Flowerbomb perfume, which I adore, and those Lorac 3D/4D lip glosses, better known as Jen's Disco Lips!

I am trying to organize some of the decks to see what will be going up for sale next I easily have another 1000.00 to sell off before starting to get a bit picky over what stays and what goes, but I keep wanting to sell more and more! I guess I am through with a lot more decks than I thought. I doing it carefully so as not to be sorry, but so many just sit there useless. Might as well make money off them and clean up some space.

So here is the new haircut until it grows out more. Nice blunt ends, which you can't even see. Just straight and even. Bangs to be layered longer on the sides to frame my face (will try and find a picture of what I want) and the rest just above my eyebrows. Nothing fancy, but very me. As it grows out a bit we will work more on the sides. Sorry for the sleepy thrown together look. It was around midnight and I forgot concealer yesterday! I was in a mad rush so plopped on the MU and ran out the door, literally!!

We are going to have snow tomorrow and more on Thursday. I can't believe it. Why do we always have to be the last to get spring? Grrr....

Debi your hair looks lovely and straight! and although i can't see the ends i am sure they look neat and tidy :) far from what my hair looks like right now! i have just blow dried it so it is looking like a bush! i shall straighten it after dinner.

turns out by the time i wanted to go shopping today the shops would be closing within in an hour so there was no point in going. we have had fun chatting at home together and watching more lion man episodes. we also had a chance to mow the grass and chop some bushes back in the garden because it was sunny. still a bit cold but at least the sun was out!

i have to go to a different city tomorrow for a sony training session on all the new products which should be nice. plus i am going with my best work friend so we should have a laugh. i have even made us a mix cd for the car journey! lol!

Lou~Thanks! My hair comes out straight when I blow dry it, so I should get some Tresseme Heat Protection and use the hair dryer more, but it waves naturally and when it is super long (I had it down to my knees when I was about 10) it ripples in the back like a waterfall! I really prefer it super straight but I don't want to use an iron, so must search out a good styling brush. My hair also flips under or over at its own will! lol Have fun with work tomorrow! This day is passing by so fast!!
