Welcome back Elena! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Sorry things are rough right now -- hope they get better soon.
Sounds like you have quite a few new lippies to play with -- so addicting, isn't it?? I still want Aventure, too -- but I'm going to hold off a bit since I just ordered from the Chanel summer collection (I need to take a breather lol)

Almus.. congrats on the new apt.. that is so so hard to find, especially in Spain.. eek. I lived there as a student/and later married student.. and sometimes it was difficult at best.. only the fact that I was happily in love made me overlook a lot of those days.. sigh.

Elena, welcome back! your mu mojo never goes away it just goes dormant for a little and then comes roaring back.. missed you

C!.. if I just wear bronzer, mascara and a colour like Canotier, I look like the toe tag lady.. lol.

When I wear minimal mu, I always wear a bright lip.. it's just me -- and that's how Rrrrrrrramon fell in love with my red lips.. lol

Hey Elena,

I am so sorry to hear you are going trough a rough time, I've been so busy these last two weeks, that those are fresh news for me to read. I hope you will feeling better soon, so I am sending as much positive thoughts as I can

I may take your word on Guava instead of Sweet Nectar: I had the same auto-debate inside my head the last time I went to the BB counter. I guess now it will make it easier to choose.

And finally, ¡the apartment is ours! We are going to sign some documents this afternoon and we will get the keys next monday-tuesday. Although we cannot "officially" live there till May 1st, we need to do some serious cleaning and get the furniture in ... Ikea .... there we go! Of course, I am a moron, and I totally to forgot to take some pictures because of the excitement yesterday evening, so I am planning to get them once it is clean, tidy and furnitured

Congratulations on your appartment! i bet you can't wait to move in on May 1st!!

Almus!! Congrats on getting the apartment! I am SO happy for you!! I cannot wait to see your photos!

HG - I hear you on the bright lip - most of my lipsticks are bright colored - it was so hard for me to get into the 'nude lip' thing, but finally did. My comfort zone is a 'balanced' face as opposed to accentuating one thing or the other, but I'm trying to experiment in my advanced age.

I have you squared away on the bronzers - I have many things from the collection on hold for myself so I can see them in person and decide. I need to try to limit myself here for a bit......I'm picking everything up tomorrow night.

Elena, dear heart, I'm so glad you came back to visit with us - I'm so glad you saw the size small man chair and I hope it gave you a good laugh - I have certainly been getting a lot of laughing mileage out of it!! Astrid, I still can't believe you have seen that in person! It has made me laugh so hard I cry.

Michelle - I know you can't wait to get your goodies! You'll have to let us know how you like them!

I too love the BB Rich Lip Colors - I love Guava, and Rose Blossom stays in my purse........

Elegant must be stripping for lippies again.......or maybe this time for bronzers........

 

[Bonitinha]

Almus -- have fun getting your apartment ready to go! So exciting -- and always good to have another reason to shop!

 

[elegant-one]

Almus dear - how exciting for you! I wish you love & fun in your new adventure!

almus - congrats on signing your new apartment! Have fun shopping for the furniture!

elena - welcome back! Sorry that times are rough for you. Just believe that it will pass. *hugs*

I like to wear bold lips when I have minimal makeup on too. Makes me feel fierce.

Any of you use Burt's Bees stuff? I started using the shampoo and conditioner recently and twice after I showered and washed my hair, a bee flew in from outside at kept twirling around me. lol so bees like Burt's bees scent?

 

[Bonitinha]

^^ LOL Guess so, maybe it is the honey scent? I love their lip balms.

 

[Miss QQ]

lol don't know. And I thought the scent is all right but isn't particularly nice, since there is no added fragrances. I should try their lip balms.

I am taking my baby to Kindergarten Registration today! I could cry. She had to put on her favorite twirling dress (Now that is some serious twirling action). I better go play with my new makeup to I don't get too sad that my little princess is getting big -- le sigh!

 

[elegant-one]

Michelle - That is so adorable! Are those little roses on her dress? I would twirl too. Aww, kindergarten

 

[Bonitinha]

Thank you

Yep, little red roses -- I found an online shop that sells vintage style dresses for girls

 

[User38]

Michelle, how adorable! and what a perfect pic !!

just gorgeous -- enjoy

 

[Bonitinha]

Thank you HG -- I am trying to enjoy every minute because it goes by too fast. In the blink of an eye she will be trying to snag all of my Chanel makeup

 

[Shypo]

Awwww...what a great pic Michelle!!! That is just a great shot and made me smile!! Oh, to have a little girl......

We should all twirl now and again - it's good for the soul!!

 

[Bonitinha]

Thanks Cheryl -- we should all take time out to twirl!

 

[Shypo]

Did anyone use their VIBCHIC code to order from Sephora today? I ordered the LM blushs and a NARS duo. Oh, and a Lancome Nu lipstick (the Rose Veil color).

Elegant, glad your strippin' was rewarded!!

Salmon sounds pretty!

HG, I've been using my Clarins foundation samples - I think 110 (Honey) ends up being my perfect match. I'm still liking the LM foundation too - I think it's the creaminess of that one that has me drawn in....
