Hi ladies! Been so busy, I've been lurking a bit to stay caught up!
Happy belated birthday to Michelle and Bis! Hope you both had a great day!
Michelle, those sandals are super cute! We don't have Target here yet, but apparently they'll be setting some stores in the next few years as they bought out Zellers, which is kinda like a Canadian version of walmart, except less selection and crappy customer service.
I need to check out Payless for some cute cheap sandals, I like that the size 5's there are closer to a 4.5, which is what I wear.
So a quick review on my latest goodies... I have been wearing Fauve for 3 days straight, loooove it. It is a perfect mauvey taupe colour, not too dark, blends well and makes for a quick, work appropriate eye. Does have a bit of fall out though, so I need to make sure I scotch tape remove everything before applying the rest of my make-up! Haven't tried Twilight yet.
Another rave about the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, it's been about a week and my skin really loves this stuff! It's cleared up enough while I've been using it so that now I don't really need anything more to cover up my little spots. Only thing is, I do use a lot more of this stuff than a thicker foundation, so in terms of cost, it'll likely be more expensive. But hey, it makes me sooo happy so I'd rather cut out something else, like choosing drug store mascara over a high-end brand and it's all good! (Love Maybelle define-a-lash lengthening mascara, no smudging at all).
And I've been back to using Espiegle blush every day. Which I am quite surprised by, because it really is a peach blush, and my skintone doesn't generally like peach. Go figure!
That's about all for now, I think i've rambled a bit too much!

Michelle.. gorgeous! You lucked out!
Since I have limited time, I usually wind up paying thru the nose for my shoes.. it's either online sites, or NM, Nordies, SAKS.. and I miss out on all the good bargains!
C! I am trying another foundation -- Clarins Restorative.. just used it today, and it looks wonderful but the day isn't over yet I have to walk my boys -- and that does a number on the face.. lol. Will keep posted.
I went and bought a pair of deep red Coral sandals.. arghhhhhhhh
I need another pair of feet, and lips.. lol

Those are cute! I unfortunately have another addiction, aside from makeup...Way off topic here -- but found these cute Wedges at Target (do they only have Target in the US??) for just $24.99. Love some cute summer sandals for a steal:
Spring -- please come!!

I've also managed to get The Great Enabler addicted and half a dozen friends. Everyone I know is now poor and well-shod.
Bis- I'm so sorry, I missed the fact that it was also your birthday, so I'm sending you belated wishes and I hope you enjoyed you day and your cake breakfast!!!

Cheryl -- I am addicted to Tar-jhay, too! I don't feel bad about having a huge shoe collection when I try to get so many of them for a bargain!
Nora -- so glad you are liking Fauve! I am really excited to try mine out next week. And I wore Espiegle blush today. I wore the EL Starfish blush and then a pop of Espiegle and loved it!
HG -- you can never have too many cute sandals! Your coral sandals sound gorgeous
Katred -- let me know if you try the Guerlain -- I thought they had the most gorgeous finish in the pics. Wow, what a cute site -- those are some fun shoes!! Yes, so many addictions, so little time . . .
Elegant -- LOL I wear a 5.5 -- they look even smaller with a huge heel -- it's like they have to go straight down because my foot is small!

For those of you who haven't gotten your fill of the glossy lippies, Karla has all of the Dior swatches up:
http://karlasugar.net/2011/04/dior-addict-lipstick/
I haven't even gotten all of the Coco Shines, I want yet, so I am trying to resist running out and buying a few more of the Dior! But since I do have a Dior counter close by, not sure if that plan is going to work . . .

I just ordered #554 It Pink, cannot wait for it to arrive. Anything that is watermelon-y pink is right up my alley this summer. But now that I'm looking at Karla's swatches, I want so many more of them!!! :eyelove:

I went bonkers on the Dior - no bad smell, love the shades, love the formula, hate the packaging. I lost count of how many I got, but I love every one of them and still have a couple on my list. I need help.
Katred, your posts make me laugh so much!
It's always good to be well-shod and to have a beautiful face - roofs and bathroom tile can wait.
Let's hope it doesn't get too rainy though!!
MissQQ, I have all of the ones you mentioned - they're fab. And Honey, It Pink is a usual go-to for me - it is soooo pretty!
Can't wait to get my Fauve!!!

Hope all you ladies have a fabulous weekend. We have literally been celebrating my husband's or my birthday all week -- I need to go on a cleansing fast! Some friends are taking us out tonight . . . I need to order a lettuce leaf and a scallion after the crap we've been eating. Oy -- I have been working out like crazy because we have eaten out every day
Moderation in all things, right (well, except for makeup).
I got a pedi yesterday and have cute toes . . . and I really want it to warm up so I can wear my cute sandals and wedges. That's it -- I'm moving back to Florida!!

Woohoo! Picked me up some Kiss Kiss gloss (the dark magenta one from the Spring collection) and Armani 404, which was limited from their holiday collection. I got the very last one in Montreal. Ah, lipstick karma, how I love thee.
Best part of my day? When I got home, The Great Enabler, having fussed over my purchases, said "Remember that we have to go back to Sephora soon". Seriously. That's what I come home to. "Don't spend too much on makeup now because we have to do another trip to Sephora."
I had to stop myself from scooping up all the Armani Eyes to Kill shades that I don't have yet, because I'm completely in love with them.
