Bimbos unite!

[kittykit]

I've been talking about getting my second one for ages! I've had it for the 10th year this coming August. Got it when I was a freshman in uni.... dragged my friend with me so I wasn't alone but he didn't get any!

I'm meeting up a friend for lunch tomorrow and then go to watch Thor. I hope you ladies will have a great weekend!

oohh what tattoo do you have? when i got my first one nick was with me (japanese symbol) then the butterfly was my second and my friend hannah came with me for that. i will never forget how she screamed - oh my goodness you're bleeding! i have no idea how she thought tattoos were done! lol! and then for my shooting star i went alone to a place - i randomly walked by and decided i was going to get it done! lol! nick was a little annoyed that i didn't tell him. but now he likes it. for me it is my least favorite though.

and enjoy thor! i have heard so many good things about it!

Lou~Thank you! lol I look nude, but I promise, I have a pink tank on! :::blushing::: And the jewelry...all your fault and those YouTube gurus, flaunting their collections and making me jealous. I love mixing my expensive jewelry with fashion jewelry for a fun look. It is nice to know you don't have to pay a fortune for a good look!

kittykat~Oh, what is Thor? Sounds good!

May I proceed to do a happy dance? I sold 450.00 worth of tarot and tarot bags today. I'm so psyched! They all sold within 10 minutes of posting! Yay! This totally made my day!! And Camelot is on tonight!! Woot!

I was on twitter and heard about someone licking their brush but i didn't know what video it was so thanks for posting it! [quote name="Miss QQ" url="/forum/thread/98741/bimbos-unite/15900#post_2115725"] Hi Nora, I'm good here. Having slight headaches I think because of the changing weather. How are you?

Debi - yeah I'm going with Lou's choice too, Audrey from China Glaze. Heard lots of reviews and seen beautiful pics of it, but I don't have it. I think the US is really lucky as you can get cheaper makeup things there. They are pricey here too, but I think in the UK some of the things are charged more than us. Hope you feel better! I'm a little under the weather too, they are lots of rain and hot sunshine happening in each day. Enjoy your Inglot goodies.

Lou - We can wait together! I realise the yankee candle is lavendar vanilla. I like lavendar lemon scent too as it is very refreshing.

oh yes! mixing you fashion with your fancy jewerly is a great idea! and i recently watched TiffanyD's jewelery video - she has some lovely items

http://www.specktra.net/specktrablog/2011/05/07/nars-summer-2011-tutorial/ - my first video tutorial guys!! i'm excited to share it with you! but be kind because i still need to work out lighting and such. but for a first attempt i think it's ok

 

[ElvenEyes]

lol I watched it too. And bought some similar items which are on their way now! I love that she mixes gold and silver and anything else together because that is what I have been doing lately and really love it. I also appreciate her mentioning where she bought the items. I had never heard of Express before! I just hope everything fits well when I get them because I am excited. That is also the kind of jewelry that they are starting to carry at our local paper store. They have troll beads, Chamilia and Pandora, but also a huge variety of bracelets, necklaces and some funky rings....all fashion jewelry. And our local nursery is carrying more now that the rearranged their gift shop area. That is where the coral pink earrings and seed pearl necklace came from. I'll be buying this stuff all summer long with it so inexpensive and all. Except for Nordstrom. Their fashion jewelry is pricey, so I plan to go in someday and look things over. If it is going to cost a lot it better be amazing!

Off to watch your video!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~Fabulous tutorial! I actually like the voice over kind. I think it adds a bit of professionalism to it and you don't hear phones ringing, stereos blasting, kids screaming and dogs barking in the background. LOVED the ice cream truck though. We have one too, so I looked out my window thinking it was ours! The lighting was perfect. That room is nice and bright and has very nice natural lighting, which is so much better than golden light or dark corners where many do their tutorials and you never get a chance to really see what they are doing. Closeups were great and I wish I could put liner on so smoothly! My eye shakes too much! You give me hope! That e/s palette rocks the green! I've been using a fluffier brush lately to do my crease as well, so cool! I love your smile! It is so cute when you did your eyes and smiled. I love the way you love makeup as much as me and so many others. It is just like screaming out, Hey, this is fun! Grab your palettes and play! And stop knocking yourself down or I will come across the pond with milkweed and sneak in that room while you are filming and start blowing it around and it will stick to your pigments and glossy lips and woah! Hehehe... And I want to say mascara like you do. It sounds so posh. Over here it is mask scare ah! It sounds far more classy in British! Loved it and the whole look and can't wait for more!

Note~I am having trouble logging on to the blog site. I used my pw and it didn't accept it. I tried several times, no go. They have me a random new one. I tried that but I still did not get a box to post any remarks, which might explain why there aren't many responses lately. Just thought I would let you know. Something is up with that which needs to be fixed!

 

[LMD84]

Ah that is great! I'm sad that some of the things she mentioned I can't buy because you can't get it in the uk same old same old i guess!

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, I'm going to check out TiffanyD's jewellery video. I went to try on 3 hoops earrings at Tiffany and too bad I didn't like them. So I didn't buy any yet but maybe I'll look again in the weeks to come.

Congrats, Debi! $450! Imagine all the makeup you can buy!

kittykit - Enjoy your lunch and movie! Tell us how Thor is!

Lou - Love your video! The nars trio is gorgeous, I like it so much but too bad there's no way for me to buy it. It looks amazing on you! Your cheeks and lips are beautiful too. I'm loving how VA foundation looks on you. I just want to suggest maybe zooming out a little more when showing your eye makeup. The lighting is great and your camera is very powerful. Good job!

 

[LMD84]

Thanks so much! yes i also thought that i should zoom out a little but more! I think it is hard to judge what is too much and what is too far away! and yeah VA is so freaking awesome! I swear i think it is my HG foundation - at least for summer and the warmer months!

and Debi that is amazing how much you sold!! congrats!!

If you zoom out, only do a little bit and see how it looks. I like it close up because I can really see where you are putting things, how you are blending, etc. I don't like the tutorials where you see their whole face while they do it, and the eye is about a million miles away. All you see is a blob of colour and nothing distinct. This way I could see exactly what you were saying. The primer on your lid and its colour, the lovely pigmentation of the minty green, how the blue was pretty but softer and less pigmented than the green, and so forth. Even watching the way you used your brush made me feel better. Now I know I am doing things right! Yay!

I was psyched about the selling, but a huge argument got started. People who are not even buying the decks suddenly give their 2 cents worth and chime in, attacking the buyer because she sells on ebay. I don't care if she makes a million dollars off of it. I sell the deck for a price I am comfy with and once it is in their hands they own it. They can do whatever they want. But some forumers take offense at it. And it is so stupid. I am lucky I didn't lose the sale. The moderator removed the posts and scolded the members. 3 people fighting, all adults, none who could even afford to buy the deck so should not have been posting on the thread anyhow. I'll be so glad when this is over for good. So that pretty much put a damper on my excitement over the sale. Ugh.

Aw thanks for your feedback Debi! I shall be filming another tutorial tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to make some changes. And i agree that it is annoying when people do tutorials but you can't see exactly where they are putting colours! And I was scared people would moan about how i used my brushes! It seems like i am being rough with my eyes but i am not at all - i just move the brush quickly. Next tutorial I shall be using different brushes and will have time to show blending techniques.

I can't believe that happened again! you mentioned before how somebody said a buyer would sell on ebay to get more money. but frankly as long as you have gotten your asking price does it matter what they then do with it?! it is not there money so why are the getting involved anyway?! silly buggers!

 

[ElvenEyes]

I know. The drama at that place literally tenses my stomach up. I can't wait to leave it behind for good. So many others already have for the exact same reason. Very childish behavior going on over there.

My eyelids get a workout when I do my makeup! I mean, lids do move and look what happens everytime we rub our eyes! I try to be careful, but I have to swish back and forth to blend nicely. If I don't, especially with older eyes, you get spots that have no makeup on them at all. I really have to check and double check my lids when done to be sure I got every spot! I make my husband check it out too. He is no help. One minute he says the right eye is darker than the other, then the left eye is darker, then one is pinker, then the other has more purple. lol Okay, they aren't that bad, deary! Men!!

lol!! yeah nick is sometimes over critical or can't make up his mind when i get him to have a look at my make up! silly buggers! yeah i try not rubbing my eyes too much - i am so paranoid about getting lots of eye wrinkles! i know it will happen one day but i hope i can prevent it for as long as possible!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

After seeing so many people of various ages with wrinkles and paying attention to who and why, I have definitely come to the conclusion that it has a lot to do with lifestyle and genes. Even at age 87, my mother does not have many wrinkles. But she has a lot of spots and she sunned herself without lotion a lot. Smoking and alcohol really destroy your skin, too, and I know people 15 years younger than me that look about 10 years older than me because of it. I'll stick to my pale skin and glass of milk! But I rub my eyes like crazy, always have, and so far no damage!!

Today I am dying from cramps. I think the little ones I had earlier this week were teasers. Even my boobs are sore and that happens only once or twice a year now. Ugh...I feel like my whole body is going to explode and that won't be a pretty sight!

 

[LMD84]

i am so sorry that you are not feeling great today. i really hope that you start to feel better soon - it is never nice to feel like that esp with sore boobs too!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Thank you! I used to get the sore boobs every month, so when that stops and you hardly get them at all and suddenly you have them again, it hurts! Ooowie! So whatever hormone causes that is very prevalent in me right now! Boo to hormones!! The only good thing is that I have felt under the weather for days now, so by Wednesday (or earlier) I should feel awesome and that is when I expect some goodies in the mail! Yay!!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Hope you feel better soon!

Hello! Happy Mother's day! It's super hot today and I'm sweaty and sticky all day. My house is so warm, the walls seem to absorb all the heat.

Lou, thanks for your encouragement. I hope I can cope with the new work. I feel excited but apprehensive at the same time, if you know what I mean. The stress already starts!

it is very warm here in the uk today too but it's not that sunny - it is quite muggy if you know what i mean. the kitties are all wiped out and keep lying down on the wooden floor downstairs because it is cool. i have even set a fan up for them! hee hee!

and yes i understand how you feel - but try not to get stressed just yet! at least until you actually get there! hee hee!

i have some very stressful and awkward things to do at work tomorrow and i am not sure how it will all go. i have a stomach ache just thinking about it.
