good going on both becoming a hermit, and the CYY.. I have one, and one of my personal samples.. that's enough as I also have Schiap.

 

[elegant-one]

I have the second skins.. I think I have Nectar and some other.. lol.. it's a cool pink. The textures are gorgeous in this line.. almost perfect!

Thats one of the colors - Lotus Pink, Nectarine & Violet Orchid <---love that one at least in the swatch - do you have it?

yeah baby...I need more blushes

 

[elegant-one]

LOL, I know -- what has happened to manners?? My fave is when young girls are getting makeovers and bring their whole posse of friends with them! Uggh - seriously?? I really do think that the people who work there should tell the men to get out of the blasted chairs!

Elegant -- I have like 3 of the LM blushes in my Sephora online cart. I think Sabrina has them and likes them. I saw a bunch of swatches on Karla's site also and they look amazing!

LOL - thats right!

Thats where I saw them - both sites. I got the 15% off Sephora discount card yesterday - great, right

 

[Bonitinha]

Score with the 15% off! I never feel as bad buying so much makeup if I buy it using a discount

I also saw Sephora is offering a 15% discount online during April 14-21 using the code VIBCHIC . . . I might have to use that since I didn't get the mailer. If you get the blushes, let me know how you like them!

I am seriously trying to put myself on a no buy for awhile...we'll see how that works

 

[Shypo]

OK, forgive the pin-headedness....what is CYY? I've been racking my brain and can't figure it out - what a dork!

I have also been thinking about those blushes - yeah, I need those like I need a submarine too, but I just love pretty blushes! I ordered the new Too Faced one - it should be here this week........the colors of the LM blush I was looking at are Violet Orchid, Plum Radiance and Orange Blossom -

 

[Shypo]

Ohhh!! Is it Candy Yum Yum? I didn't get that one as I didn't think I could quite pull it off without looking like Bubu the Fool -

You crack me up girl.

On CYY seriously, I didn't think I could make it work - I am not a bright anything kinda gal. But, it looked so good on everyone, so I bought it & used it on top of Joyeuse (cause thats what I had on ) just a little bit & fell in love with it. Its def, brighter than anything I own, but there is something about the color. And, its like my crazy pigmented lips absorbs some of the shockiness to it. There's a new word Shockiness

The LM blushes look so so pretty. We love blushes you & me

 

[Shypo]

Yes, we do!!

I edited my post above - the colors I'm intrigued by are Orange Blossom, Violet Orchid and Plum Radiance.....

I might check out CYY after all - but I'm afraid I really wouldn't use it much......the color is hot, though!!! It would be the first crayon I'd pick out of the box!!!

Oh yes, Orange Blossom looks pretty too. Violet Orchid just looks so beautiful - I need a swatch.

 

[User38]

yes.. I have all three of the LM blushes -- NEctar - ine.. lol, I am lousy with names.. gimme numbers pls. and the Orchid Violet are my favs.. These are soft, but well pigmented and well worth the money.

C! ... I somehow hate the abreviations, cause I get confused easily -- it's my old age

 

[elegant-one]

Describe Orchid Violet to me...please I think I am obsessed with it

 

[User38]

orchid violet is pink with blue undertones -- think magenta but ultra soft and subtle...gorgeous on the skin.

 

[User38]

I got little packet samples of several of the Clarins shades, so will try to figure out which one best suits me - I can't wait to try it! I also couldn't seem to get closer than Blush Ivory on the LM foundation - and it's really too dark. I'm going to have to go back when I have more time. For some reason Nordies is an insane asylum on Saturday nights. I used to be able to go and see some peace, but for some reason, the last few times have made me a nutcase.

A bit of a rant here - a couple of weekends ago I went in - my MUA usually likes to make me up - she was working on a girl that, no kidding, had about 8 of her family members with her, including 2 dads with strollers. All at the MAC counter. Some of the younger members of the family parked their fannies in the chairs they use for the customers, so I had to go to a different counter just to stay out of the way. It was so obnoxious. Then last night, there were 3 women who had their men in tow WHILE THEY WERE GETTING THEIR MAKEOVERS. It's one thing to be buying something at the counter, but for pete's sake, FIND A MAN CHAIR.

2 of them, again, sat in the makeover chairs. Like they're there for them. I was so pissed off. They just have no clue whatsoever. There should be a sign that points them to the man chairs.

Ok. Rant over. I think.

That is so irritating... When I had my makeup done at the NARS counter a little while back, The Great Enabler came with me because I wanted to photo-document the process for my blog. He sat in a chair off to the side, away from any of the displays, and if a group of people came in he got up and stood out of the way. Basic manners. I get ferociously annoyed at this sort of thing. I was at Mac the other day, still debating about CYY and Sakura and I swear, I couldn't get close to any of the displays, because there were always gaggles of young women getting an opinion on one lipstick from six of their friends...

Ugh, I really am turning old and grumpy...

Before I was just grumpy...

I swear, I was going to put myself on a lipstick no-buy, because I've officially run out of room in the lipstick/ eye shadow drawer, but then I remembered that Guerlain has those tasty Rouge Automatiques launching next month. I guess I could put myself on a lipstick no-buy until the end of the month... Only three weeks... I can do that...

[/quote] :lol: I'll tell you how it makes me look once I get it Originally I did not plan to get it as I already have a lot of bright colours and I need another like a hole in my head. But it looked great on so many people and I do not have a neon one. Brights are easier for me than nude colours on my lips. Need to look up Bubu the Fool....

^^^

I don't know if you'll find it or not - it's an expression that a friend of mine came up with - but I think you can get the jist hahahaha!!

I may have to break down on CYY.....

And OV is now definitely on my list!!

I went to sephora today but the smashbox set was not available. I'll keep a lookout for it.

I was at the dior counter at a department store, not sephora, and the SA had such a bad attitude. I wanted to look at It Pink, Paris and Diorkiss. The SA was sitting back facing the displays, surfing the net with the company's notebook. I could be fine by myself because I could look for the colours since they are labelled. But the SA came quickly, with a scowl, and asked if she could help. I should have said no, thanks, but I said I wanted to look at It Pink. She asked rudely and loudly and scowling, "what?" so I repeated and she gave an impatient loud sigh and stormed to the back where the little room was and out of sight. At this point I could tell she was clearly unhappy. I know it is a Monday, a quiet day, probably she just wanted to surf the net till her heart's full, but what a way to treat a customer! She came back and pulled out It Pink from the tester (which I already found while she was away) without saying a word and still scowling. I gave it a swatch and put it back, but I couldn't stand her attitude and just walked away. Liked it but no way am I buying anything from her. If anything, I just glad this didn't not happen at Chanel. The worse Chanel SA I've ever met is one who ignores customer and doesn't smile or make eye contact but just get me what I want. Ok, rant over!
