you two should get commision from chanel

on another note, where the hell is summer? the weather today was awful

this is meant to be the end of june!? its like winter

grumble grumble..

lol I would be happy with a free lipstick or two. Hehehehe...

Summer is here. Do you want it? Hot, humid, thunderstorms on the way. I hate summer. I am totally arctic, so feel free taking this warm weather from me. The only good thing is when it is cool enough out at night to open windows and listen to the wildlife. Other than that, I honestly prefer zero to 45 degrees with occasional temps around 60. When it starts creeping up to 75 I wish I were a polar bear!

see i love summer - i love seeing the sun shine and feeling warm. right now the weather here is outright depressing!!

i'm at work today and have some goodish news about the assistant manager hunt. it is now down between two guys - one is one of my sales guys and the other is somebody that is not right at all and i do not want. they are now getting both sorted with second interviews. i am a little sad for my other sales guy because he is out of the running now but won't be able to teel him until tuesday. i love both my sales guys so much and we are all so close that it will be a touch upsetting letting him know i think. the only downside is that the second interviews won't happen for 2 weeks until one of my guys gets back off holiday!

Lou~ You really would love living in Florida! I would go insane! I have been a New Englander all my life so both hubby and I thrive on the change of weather and he does not care much for the heat either. He doesn't like the super cold like me, though. Not many do. I am one of the rare ones that will go for a walk or stand in a snowstorm when it is zero degress, with a big smile on my face. Maybe because I am part Mohawk and Inuit. We are northern and arctic tribes! It must be in my blood!

Glad the reviews for the position are moving along and really hope your guy gets it. Crossing my fingers for you. Sorry that the other one was left out. That is a hard position to be in, though at least he was considered at one point. It would be so much easier on you to train your own guy, too. They should always try to keep it within the present workforce so people have the opportunity to move up instead of pulling someone from outside. Wishing for the best of news for you!

Yeah, loving my haul! I know I will never be buying their expensive n/p or a mascara, liner, etc. from them. But their lipsticks are to die for, gorgeous colours that are unique from any of my MAC ones, and a superb formula that my dry lips are soaking up!

Okay, way too early here. Back to bed for me!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Yeehaw! Just sold another 90.00 for one deck!

Hi Ladies!!

Lou i just watched your last tutorial. I never knew MAC created products to encourage such mixing and creating!! I also just finished making myself a quick new banner on my blog (it looked and still looks very primitive compared to other blogs ... oh well ... I consider it a humble blog lol!). Please do take a peak if you haven't already - it's my lil' makeup encyclopedia and documentation of my efforts lol.

Enjoy the sunshine!!

thanks for watching it and yeah mac have plenty of more creative products. sadly most of it is pro only so you have to know it exists before ordering it which is a touch annoying! and i like your blog banner. i think it's simple and classy. some people go overboard with the banners and they look kinda messy but i like yours. it fits with the blog well. i also like your reactions box where people can tick a box - it's a good way of getting feedback on what people like

todays blog post is on a palette i was given and love Stila Day To Night Palette Review check it out if you fancy

 

[ElvenEyes]

You would love today, Lou, because it is hot and toasty again. Very humid and my hair is going nutty. I was hoping for storms to cool things down, but so far no luck. Last night we had fun watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie and tonight will watch the 2nd one and just do a weekend marathon of them. I love the wit in it all. We slithered back over to the mall were I played yet again at the Chanel counter and came home with a glossimer, 2 lipsticks, a blush and Chanel #19. And a ribboned box of skin care products for free that looks so pretty I don't even want to open it up! I will put up the haul later. This line is easy to get addicted to, but again, for special pieces.I went in hoping for some colours and ended up leaving with much darker ones for the fall and winter! Hey, I am planning ahead!! They are all so sweet at the Nordstrom counter too. I really appreciate their enthusiasm for the line and for MU in general. The sales lady was probably in her 40's and sharing the fact that she has way too much makeup, especially in the pinks and I kept saying "yep!" So we understood each others obsession!

To bookstore or not to bookstore? That is the question!!

when it is humid i always end up tying my hair back in a bun or sometimes plaits (braids) so that it doesn't frizz out like a bush! enjoy watching the pirates films. i love them so much!! and yay for more chanel!! i'd love to go and drop loads of money on them right now. but i am patiently waiting for a new collection of theirs that should be out in the uk on monday

i got a little annoyed with nick yesterday. generally he cleans the house up on saturday and then on a tuesday i clean it on my day off. hwever due to me not getting my day off he has been doing everything on a saturday and i've been cleaning as i go throughout the week. this is so on sunday we can spend the day together with no chores to do. yesterday he barely cleaned anything - the house is still messy and of course i do not want to spend my only day off doing housework. honestly i was so annoyed because all he did was hoover and hang some clothes out to dry. he didn't even put away the clean clothes! so when he suggested that we could do it together today i told him to jog on. but i'll happily make him a list of things he needs to be doing.

i hate having arguments but then i also think about how tired i am from working so much and because i haven't been sleeping. i need to today to relax, catch up on blog posts and to do our baking. not doing the crap he should have done the day before!!

Lou - the stila day to night palette is beautiful. Enjoy! Happy to know you love the chanel bronzer. I love it too, it's so easy to just reach for it because it gives the face a healthy and pretty colour. Sorry that you had an argument.

Hope that Nick is disciplined and get the chores done. I went to the DFS mac counter yesterday and b2m for Hue l/s! So happy because Hue is not available at all other counters here - it's not available in Asia supposedly, so only at the airports or DFS. Haven't worn it yet but I like the colour already. Too bad the counter doesn't have Impassioned too. I haven't been using my mac l/s much because I'm addicted to chanel lippies at the moment.

Debi - enjoy the chanel goodies! They are addictive!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Thanks! I have been enjoying using the palette. and yes you are so right about the bronzer - a healthy glow is what it creates! and that is exactly what i need! me and nick are fine now luckily. we had a mini fight this morning but he understood and then did everything ok while i started to bake cupcakes. today we made choc and vanilla marble cupcakes with vanilla frosting. very yummy indeed!

and i am sooo happy you bought hue! it is actually my favourite nude lipstick! i love that it is a glaze finish and the pinky tones stop the 'dead look' some nude lippies give! enjoy it!!

and yes i hope everybody is having a great weekend too! i am about to watching keeping up with the kardashians and then i shall be writing up some blog posts

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I look forward to your blog posts! Your cupcakes sound heavenly, chocolate and vanilla are my favourite flavours! Thanks, I can't wait to try on Hue, maybe tomorrow.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~Bummer about the chores. I get frustrated when my husband, who is the king of procrastination, will do everything in his power to make something easy difficult or take hours to prepare for cutting the lawn when everyone else has already done theirs! He has a lot to do today and we never get into our special projects so I feel your frustration. I don't like fighting either, but sometimes it seems to be needed to clear the air and get things sorted out. It isn't about hate, it is about disappointment, and I always focus on that part of it. Still, it is never fun! Have a good and productive day today. That is on our agenda as well. It is Father's Day here, but we actually visited with them on Thursday and gave him his gift then. Today is for us.

Miss QQ~Loving my Chanel and yes, it is addicting. I am happy to say that more than half the colours on the display are not for me (lipsticks, e/s etc.) so I feel like it is okay to splurge once in a while on the ones I like. I won't buy their ridiculously expensive n/p for anything. No polish is worth that unless it stays on chip free for a month and who wants that? I would be so bored! I love what I have and feel anything else would be another lip item or e/s quad that caught my eye. So far nothing, but the fall stuff is coming out. Maybe even the Nordy Anniversary might have something tempting for me, but I've plenty to play with right now. My makeup routine is so blended. Yesterday I have foundation from MUFE, concealer from MAC and Bobbi Brown, blush by Illamasqua, powder by Maybelline, e/s by Dior, Mascara by Covergirl, liner by UD and lips by Chanel. That about sums up how much fun I am having mixing and matching!

Season Finale of Game of Thrones on tonight. I am freaking out! Last episode was amazing and sad. This one will be too, only I read it and hubby has not, so he has no idea what is about to happen!

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

Thanks Lou for taking a look and the feedback. I changed the banner a bit later on yesterday to improve the readability of the blog description and to incorporate my cheesy tag line which is an inside joke from the book "My Way of Life" which my blog stems from (Joan's friend makes her write the book). Checkin' your review now ........

 

[LMD84]

no problem at all! and i need to get me some ss locks!!! my hair is so thick it takes loads of time and clips to section it when blow drying and straightening!

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

Hehe! That made me smile. I've had these for a while now, looking to find them for even longer. I got mine in a Beauty Supply store, but you can buy them online. Also Dannyco (jaw clips) makes their version of the SS Big Locks but they were twice the price for what looked like the exact same product. ... They are fabulous - you are right, you do NEED them

 

[Miss QQ]

Debi - it's great that you use makeup from so many different brands. I try to do that too, but sometimes it's hard to find things I like from various brands, and I fall back to my old favourites like Chanel and mac. I'm bad and own a few chanel nps. You probably know, OPIs and other USA brands of nps are very expensive here too, unfortunately. But chanel is definitely more expensive. I saw your chanel haul post and you have picked the most beautiful pinks and purples!

shadow - I wore morning rose np, which the finish and formula is like miami peach, and it had a chip after 1 day. After 2 days, there were chips everywhere. The forumula doesn't agree with my nails at all. So I'm glad I didn't buy miami peach.

Lou - How many cupcakes do you bake each time? At least you had 2 so you got to enjoy your labour and also it's a joy to share what you made with others. I tried on Hue today and it is nude on me but not too pale. The lighting isn't fantastic here so I can't tell how for sure how it looks.

well it says that they make 12 cupcakes but we always seem to get 16 out of the mixture! and also we always half the amount of frosting because the book's measurements make far too much! i hope you get outside to check out hue soon!! hee hee!

have a great week everybody!

Lou--Sadly I must say that after 24 years of being married I still do not have him trained properly My husband thinks that if he has stuff in a box or it stacked up then that is clean. Or he will "clean" one area only to stack it somewhere else and then tell me he cleaned said area.

MissQQ--I hate to hear you're having chipping problems with the Chanel n/p but I have to admit it helps in not buying Miami Peach.

Debi--I saw your Chanel goodies you posted, such pretty products.

I don't know what it is with me, perhaps using MAC and MUFE so long. But those applicators and little brushes that Dior and Chanel put in their e/s and blushes drive me nuts. I wish they would leave them out and drop the price a bit or just leave them out. I guess it's just me because I never hear anyone else complaining about them.

 

[ElvenEyes]

MIss QQ~ Yes, I was so surprised when I heard how expensive OPI and other items are in other countries. I guess I am lucky to be where I am, thhough not too many exciting things happen around here. NYC or Los Angeles had more action with things like IMATS. That would be so much fun to attend! I guess I will just have to consider my mall and set of stores as a mini IMATS

Shadowaddict~Thank you and yes, after 19 years of marriage mine is only partially trained, but has his own random agenda as well! lol

Lou~I want those cupcakes! I love cupcakes. So so my hips, unfortunately!

Today has started out terribly with a nightmare. Last night I was thinking of a previous boss/friend who died almost exactly 3 years ago from ALS. I was sad last night but this morning I had a dream that she was bossing me around, really angry, giving me projects that I had absolutely no training for and using terms that made no sense either. It was so real..I even took her by the arms and lightly shook her, trying to drive into her head that either someone would have to teach me or I can just quit! I was so frustrated with her and she has this mean gleam in her eye like she was trying to get me back for something. Needless to say I woke up stunned, shook and weirded out. What was that about?

Expecting money orders today and boxes are all set to go out. 4 packages in all. Time to put up more for sale! Let's see how clever I can get!! Mondays are usually slow on the selling market! But I need to finance my Chanel obsession! Thanks a lot gang! LOL

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ That's a bad dream.. Hope you have calmed down now. Maybe something is causing you stress and trigger the memories? I had a bad dream 2 nights ago about work too, but it wasn't as scary as yours. Yeah take the malls as the IMATS. Those as so exciting, I always look at the reviews with wide-eye wonder. Good luck on selling and earning more today!

shadow - I don't like the sponge applicators from Chanel and Dior too. I take them out and put them in a clean bag for swatching purposes, which I hardly do, so they are useless. I use the brushes sometimes.

Lou - On my way home the light was great outside so I got to see Hue, and I love it! Perfect nude pink for me. I have been searching it, from mac and Chanel, but didn't find it until now. Mac's fun fun l/s is a little too pale for me, so I have it but rarely wear it. I'm so happy I got Hue, thanks to all your raves!
