Awww, Thanks ladies!!
I had chocolate cake for breakfast (so naughty) and now I have to go do a major workout before I go to lunch (Greek food -- yummas!).
So fun that Bis and I can celebrate our birthdays together -- well, in different countries, but on the same day

[quote name="Almus" url="/forum/thread/174086/the-chanel-ratonas-off-topic-thread/600#post_2103238"] Ooooooh Happy happy birthday Michelle!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
bis - primers with spf sound very interesting for this time of the year. I might have to go and check again. Yesterday I got stuck at the BECCA's cream blush section of an english website that delivers to Spain for about 30 minutes. I had a couple of products in my cart but eventually, I just turn the computer off and left in sorrow
[/quote] Sounds very familiar, uncanny so. Which site where you looking at? And which colours? For SPF I always used LRP, but for some weird reason my skin is not tolerating it any more. [quote name="Miss QQ" url="/forum/thread/174086/the-chanel-ratonas-off-topic-thread/600#post_2103239"] ^^ Yeah Becca's shadows and tints look so pretty, at least in pictures. Hope you have luck with the primers, and let us know if you buy it. There are the new bb base/cream from dior, lancome and bobbi brown which are essentially primers with spf. Not sure if these are asia exclusives, since bb creams started from japan/korea brands. Do your counters have them? I tried the one from dior and it is a beige colour, too dark for me, but with it I can almost skip foundation. Maybe it will work on me during summer when I'm slightly more tanned. I haven't try Lancome's but at the counter I tested it and it seemed lighter but more grey. Got a sachet and probably will try it tomorrow.
Is it Michelle's birthday? Here's wishing you a happy birthday!
I had a little makeup accident today - dropped my Tentation Cuivree quad on the floor. It was opened and hit the ground in the shape of an inverted "V", if you get what I mean. I thought the mirror or the hinge will break, but the entire quad was intact! Felt very lucky!
[/quote] Uh, that was close, good that your quad did not break. Why are always the LE cosmetics so prone to gravity? Thanks for the info about the other primers, but if they sound too dark and my skin is really acting up atm. So far I have not seen them, but maybe we are late as usual.

Happy Birthday bis and Michelle ---
C!.. yea, Blonde again.. lol. I was feeling old and draggy with such dark stuff on my head -- Ramon met me as a plat blonde -- then saw me again as a black head.. and for sure he will think I am insane.. but I love it. I don't feel that red red lips look funny with blonde hair, whereas with black I felt a bit older and goth like.
If you go to any reddish colour, beware that the red is a big pigment, and doesn't make friends with the white/silvery hair -- and washes out in two/three washes.. grrr. which is why I lost my lovely golden red colour so quickly and turned black. That said, I think you would look GRRRRReaaat as a blonde!!
This blonde is not white blonde, but the soft blonde I had before with some low lights in it to make it look a bit more dimensional ...I need new pics for my new job -- Ias soon as I get those taken -- one of my many photog friends will do, I will post it briefly..again!!

I just got fabulous news -- we are finally getting a Nordies here where I live!I will be able to see Chanel up close and personal -- woo hoo!
Wow - I am soooo jealous!!!! Good for you!!!!!
Hi Birgit!! SOOOOOOO sorry I missed your birthday! I was without a laptop all day yesterday while they loaded Windows 7 for me - I missed a bunch! So, belated congratulations and I hope you had a fabulous day!
Nice way to celebrate there, Miss Michelle!! My husband's and my birthdays are in the same month, but farther apart than a day - that's great you can have 2 straight days of partying!!
Glad to hear that you're getting a Nordie's!! I am so spoiled by mine - I couldn't imagine not being able to get to one.......they should have some really good opening celebrations - they usually do a lot of stuff in the makeup department too - at least ours did - I got a lot of cool things when ours opened up many moons ago.
I'm cautiously anticipating the Guerlain lipsticks - I certainly don't need to get hooked on another line, but I confess I've bought a couple of the shadows recently - good thing that line isn't prolific!
Enjoy your day ladies!

Thanks Ladies, I am excited about the Nordies! I hope it really happens! We were supposed to get quite a few new retailers, but many have pulled out in this horrible economy. Fingers crossedNice way to celebrate there, Miss Michelle!!

Yeah, I probably won't be buying the Guerlain lippies right now, but I love looking at colors. I am like a moth to a flame LOL
