OK, for the week of Jan 13th, there is ALL MINERALIZE AGAIN - the highlights here are STEREO ROSE AND PORCELAIN PINK MSFS. YEPPP, get ready. Also there are 5 shadows that all sound very familiar, like we've seen these before, sprinkled through Glitter and Ice and Naturally - soft grey and lavender melanges, deep plum, etc. 4 MBs, I think one is a repromote but of one of the good ones from Felines or the like - they all sounded like soft colors, but one jumped out at me - it's a frosted deep bronze (that wasn't the exact color description, btw, but near enough). the main thing are MINERALIZED LIP BALMS. These come in a tube like the lip geles, they have the consistency of lip gele, they all have dense but refined glitter, exactly like the Marilyn dazzleglasses (so basically gorgeousness big time), and many soft but unusual sounding colors. Oh, also they have moisturizing properties that made my MA sad, because he loved them, but they're too glittery for his manliness to use them himself.

For Jan 6th, there are 2 collections and they both are doozies. The promo pictures for these are outrageous, one has a woman in a rubber ball gown with freaking enormous body builder arms and upper body, doing the classic muscle man pose. All the names are muscle related, like "Muscle Memory" hahahaha. The other one is sexy Helmut Newton style lesbians in tuxedos, so ooo la la. Now for the goods..... the lesbian one: THE RETURN OF PINK PIGEON AND PARTY PARROT. PLUS 2 new purples he was panting over, neither of them super blue-ish but both extremely intense and beautiful, one is similar to Heroine and another is lighter, grey- mauve lavender-ish. PLUS AT LAST LADIES THERE IS A BLUSH DESCRIBED AS "FROSTY LIGHT LAVENDER" -it's what that pale one from Tres Cheek should have been but wasn't quite. There's also a blush that's the color of Magenta (from Reel Sexy among other collections) but with the beautiful texture of the best Tres Cheek. There are new PRO-LONGWEAR EYE LINERS that he didn't get a chance to see in person, but there's a range of about 6 colors including green and purple. There's a quad with two different textures of navy with purple and a new black, also a second quad with lavenders, basically this is the winter version of Reel Sexy - there are nail polishes including a dark periwinkle purple that sounds sexxxxy. The body builder muscle one has a a couple of quads too, one including a new "warm" black that sounds tempting. Again, there are some vampy purple and fuchsia lipsticks and a SPARKLING BLACK LIPSTICK - this is the one we had that photo of being applied to a model's lips a while back from these past runway shows. Excuse me for forgetting the name but when I saw it, I got hot and bothered and the description makes it sound even better. Also REVENGE IS SWEET lipglass is BACK, so get in line baby!!!!!!!!! Frankly I was overwhelmed with how both of these two collections sounded - they are MY KINDA WONDERFUL!!!

ok i'll put more in another post.....
Yes thankyou for the info! I finally get to snag Party Parrot :)

I just picked up the 3-speed Clarisonic at a Sephora Friends & Family sale a couple days ago. I had been hesitating because of the expense, but it was 20% off! So, still expensive, but hey only 4/5 of the original price.

It came with a sensitive skin brush, which i need for my mature rosacea prone skin. And it has a body speed and body brush, so i can get at my elephant elbows - well, they're not so elephantine, since i've been using AHAs and antioxidants on them.

I haven't used it yet. It's bigger than the Mia, so i'll see if it's too heavy for my 3rd grade (8 yr old) sized, slightly arthritic hands.

The SA gave me a sample of some skin cleanser that sounded suitable for my skin (dermaDoctor Litmus, i think). But i'm searching for something better, more soothing.
Do you mean the Aria? Does it turn off after a minute on the body setting?

It isn't the wireless kind, it's the Clarisonic Plus. It has a cradle that plugs into the wall. It also turns off after one minute on the body setting.

I started charging it yesterday (has to charge 24 hours the first time out of the box) and it's all charged up by now, so i'll wash my face with it after i get home tonight and find out if my face likes it.

EDIT TO ADD: If my face doesn't like it, i don't care what my elbows think, it's going back - face overrides elbows ;-P

Thanks. It would be nice if the body setting was longer than 1 minute.

If you have rosacea prone skin, you probably should use the delicate or the acne brush head (yes, the latter one has a very unfortunate name - it's really the softest brush of all of them). The sensitive brush head is the regular one that comes with most models - it might be too harsh for rosacea prone skin. I think the acne head would be the best as the bristles are noticeable softer than any of the other brush heads. HTH

I was wondering about that, b/c when I ask around at counters, they still have stock available.

I wish they brought the Thermal Mask back too. I love that even more than VAE, but it's not even been repromoted. :(

Thanks for the info. I did ask the SA in sephora, but she was sure the sensitive brush was soft enough. I'll be on the lookout for it.
