C!.. hit the craps tables please.. and bring back some winnins.. lol.

I am having techissuessssss on the site again -- I can't post something cause it says I haven't written anyting.. wth..

 

[Bonitinha]

We need to see your new 'do HG! I love that you are so daring! I am not daring at all when it comes to my hair -- but I'm not loving my hair right now, so it could use a little change.


I am in the midst of planning my 12 year old's birthday party. I want the table in an Anthropologie style. I have a whole mish-mash of ideas. I hope I pull this thing together by Friday . . . (why do I do this to myself??)

Hope you all have a fabulous evening! I will be watching The Voice tonight . . . I think I just wish I could be like Christina Aguilera lol

 

[User38]

I'll have to see who makes those shoes

Ok, that is just freakin crazy 1) that he burned your hair - with a cigar, 2) he cut your hair, 3) you got a cool ring out of it!

I am glad you're back

darlin, yea.. and I tipped him too.. Two USDs.. lol. He did a great job really -- he has cut the whole town's hairs for years.. lol. After the haircut I had two Remys and smoked a ceegar myself.. (hey I love men who smoke cigars.. lol -- something about how they hold them gets me wobbly kneed)

only to me..

 

[User38]

oh, when I had some mu done (grrr) the one product which the mua used on me was the Rosee powder.. I fell in love and use it all the time now. Makes me glow like a 16 yo.

another expensive habit to kick.. lol

 

[elegant-one]

^ I have that - but for some reason I have forgotten it.

Found it & its BEAUTFUL! smells good too

 

[cutemiauw]

Yes, I would wear those, too -- if I only had those looooong legs . . .
I hear ya about ordering things in little segments. Why do we do that? I really don't feel as bad if I place a lot of little orders lol

And I also wouldn't want him to see the bulk MU bill

.


Elegant, HG -- Those pink pants are fab!! And the shoes too... oh my... I should find a way to make more money. LOL.

I used to have a pixie cut when I was 15

. Sometimes I'm tempted to do it again now, but short hair on me is high maintenance (must go to hairdresser often to trim it)

Have you seen today's post on Cafe Makeup with the latest Chanel fashion show?

I must find out more about the new shadow palette Prelude. Although the description doesn't make sense ("literally a palette of shadow shades") -- aren't all e/s palettes a palette of shadow shades? Oh well!

And I want that square white quilted handbag!

 

[Almus]

Yes I have! But I didn't take the time to read the post cause I have been drooling over the idea of getting the Guerlain's liquid e/s in Havana (not a single summer collection have been released here yet, damn it!).

Thank you so much for your recommendations about the e/l thing. Regarding the weirdness of it being melted, well, my whole mu bag was full and in very hot weather, including another couple of e/l that didn't melt and I am always cautious and take it with me in my bag to the office. I think this is an x-file ... =O

Ah, I haven't - but I'll check it out when I come back. Prelude?

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Looks like a new quad called Prelude. I wonder if it will be released with the Fall collection?

I want Havana too! The guerlain summer collection is not here yet, but we have dior and chanel. Hope you do have to wait too long now.

I bought more makeup today! Last saturday I purchased the chanel summer collection and today I bought more things. I'm out of control.

I bought Lotus Rose, backup of Rose Platine,
Khaki-discret, the brow palette, vitalumiere eclat powder and the lip balm that elegant has and raved. I will write more in the individual chanel threads later. I wanted to buy the eye brow pencil but the old batch was discontinued and the new stocks are arriving later this month. So at the moment our counter don't have a single brow pencil lol. The MA tried the brow palette on me and I like it. It comes with a mini tweezer, mini slanted brush and mini brow brush for combing. Pricey, but I thought it is a handy makeup item to have. It is a rash purchase, I don't know if I will use all 3 shades so I need to examine and play with it.

I tried on the dior summer nail polishes today and the orange one is hot! It is a stunning burnt orange. The pink one dries matte. I didn't buy either but I thought those of you who likes the summery orange now should check it out. We have the highest temperature recorded this month and this May will be the hottest month of the year. I'm parched!

Morning ladies! At work, sipping on my Earl Grey Latte (formerly known as the London Fog, sounds much cooler!) and reading your posts!

Cutie, keep us updated on your short story, how exciting if it gets published! I have a good feeling that it will.

Michelle, I think Sephora carries a limited version of the LM product line, I had checked the website too and didn't see the gels, but it can't hurt to call and ask.

Elegant, I knew you would be proud of me! Berry Sorbet will be my venture back into the world of deeper berry coloured lippies after years of light shades only. I probably won't get my hands on them until we return from our trip though.

I have a long two weeks ahead before we go away, including some overtime this weekend, boo. It's worth it though, to have an entire week off to spend with my kids. Hopefully the weather will be good!

 

[Almus]

Enjoy your goodies Miss QQ. I love when I get out of control, although it is almost impossible not feeling guilty after a short while

I might do some brush shopping soon, since mine are a bit old and not very good. I am thinking about Louise Young ones and I believe it has one similar to MAC 222 ... more lemmings ...

@Bonitinha: I think what they meant by "shadow shades" was that the colors are natural neutrals, the types of shades that mimic the shadows/contours of your eyes? But I did read in the article though that the shades are shimmery.

Gotcha -- I read through the article quickly LOL Guess that is why it didn't make sense! I am loving neutrals right now -- but I usually like a mix of matte with shimmer. Kinda anxious to see everything . . .

 

[Bonitinha]

MissQQ -- enjoy your new loot!! Always a happy day when new makeup is involved

Nora -- Have fun getting ready for your trip! The weather is finally getting nice here. Upper 70's all week -- yipee!!

Hope all of you are well. I will be running around like a crazy person with all of my projects this week. My sister is having a baby girl today -- she is just about ready to go in for her c-section. She has 2 adorable (yet wild) boys, so we are anxious for her little princess to arrive

 

[stv578]

Michelle, what wonderful news about your sister! Though c-sections aren't too much fun. Hope everything goes well. Give us an update later!

Good luck getting things ready for your daughter's birthday!

 

[User38]

Michelle.. good luck with sis.. and with the party!! I will post a pic of my new friendship ring, but not my hair .. yet. lol. I always sneak up with my personal pics -- I have had the worst luck with hair this past year and go from one disaster to the next.. however this time it ended quite nicely.. a soft pixie cut, short on all sides with a bit longer top..it is quite flattering, as is the colour.

Elegant, those shoes are Prada ? not sure, but I saw some similar ones -- and watch out, there go wedges .. lol. Smaller contoured heels and pointy toes are coming back for fall/winter.

msqqq.. thanks.. I had a blast and hope to go back someday to see the awesome beauty of the land... Rrrramon is a sweetie, and a very generous and kind man. I am not in love.. but do love him as a good friend... so, so far, so good. You cannot fall in love for real unless you love people as friends first.

 

[Bonitinha]

I just got word that my sister had her little baby girl. They named her Chloe and I hear she is gorgeous (of course). I can't wait to go meet her! My poor sister -- I had 3 c-sections also and it isn't fun, but well worth it in the end.

HG, I can't wait to see pics of the ring. Glad you are liking your hair. I really need to go in for a change. I get so tired of spending so much $$$ on my hair and never loving it -- le sigh.

Aww...Congrats! She'll be as beautiful as you
