I can see why you got a backup of GD, it looks amazing on you!! Also you don't look horrible, silly! Very pretty :)
Thank you! I love it!

Ah I was squinting and just unable to smile. Horrible nights sleep and opening the blinds was horrendous, lol!

In our country we have this thing called sinterklaas and we can't have the tree up before that time at least that's what I think with a lot of others. You probably won't have any idea what sinterklaas is, but it's quite funny. Sinterklaas is similar to santa claus in that he gives presents to kids, but Sinterklaas has a horse and rides on the roofs and his helpers are zwarte pieten. Here are some pics.

His birthday is the 5th of december and at that night the kids get there packages. In the weeks before that they can also put their shoes near the chimney similar to the socks thing with santa claus. Ow and the zwarte pieten have big bags with candy!
If kids get their presents on the 5th how do you guys celebrate Christmas? Is it more of a family day or do the kids get gifts again? Sorry in the US we just have Xmas day and all of the ads trying to get us to spend spend spend lol.

I know how that is. I'd actually gotten showered and felt not too bad, but I opened the blinds for the photo and even though it was cloudy outside, my eyes just started to sting/burn. Ridiculous, lol!

Aw I'm sorry GD didn't work for you. I love it so much. I think I'll be wearing it quite often. Just wish I'd gotten a BU of DA from MM now, think it's my perfect red! Ah well. I loved the look of Innocence, but my concern was that it'd be too light. I seem to really struggle liking lighter colours on my lips. I've yet to give PZ another chance, but I did notice it showed off every imperfection my lips had which was horrible. I wish I could find a nude I loved!

To me, Innocence is a more coral version of Marquise D', which is my favourite l/s ever! If I ever come across a DA then I'll grab it for you - it's such a great deep red!

Lol i never even knew you guys are celebrating his birthday the 5th, here in Belgium it's the 6th :)


And sorry to hear you're not happy with your internship

You should indeed do something you will love doing, we all need to work for a very large part of our lives after all
smiles.gif
I started an evening course allround makeup artist a few months ago, and i really enjoy it
love.gif
My only regret is that i didn't start this course sooner :)
I guess we're just impatient:p We always sang songs in the evening and then all of a sudden someone knocked on the door and there were our presents! I didn't know you celebrated it the 6th. I guess you get your presents in the morning?
That's great that you started a course for allround makeup artist! I wish I could do that too right now, but I don't have the money or time to do two things.

Ooh coral is nice. I haven't seen/tried/swatched Marquise D' but I'll google. I just need colour to my lips. PZ is the only nude I own, everything else has a hint of pink/coral/something. Ah thank you, that'd be awesome! It really is beautiful. I wore it on my first date with the bf. He's a fan of it too.

I'll definitely be rocking it for Christmas.

Santa doesn't visit us so no presents except for the ones we give each other. It is indeed more of a family thing. It's two days actually here. Is it only one in the US? Here they also try to get us to spend, but my family doesn't really do the present thing, but some families do. We have a nice dinner with my parents, sister and grandparents one day and the other day at my bf's place.

The kids indeed get their presents here in the morning, next to the shoe filled with sweets
yummy.gif

And don't worry that you can't start yet another course right now, when i was still in school i couldn't either. That's why i'm doing that now, better later than never i'd say
smiles.gif
You still have plenty of time to do everything you wish

Aha then we are indeed just impatient:p
I worry about this year and next year, because I just don't like this study much anymore. I also can't just stop, because my debts would be higher. Well I guess I can handle the lessons and exams, but I also have to do a second internship and I'm not sure how much I will like that. I think I will do something medical for that internship, maybe that's going to be better. I just expected to like this one more, because it's in the research area and it has to do with nano stuff and I've always thought that was interesting.

*sigh* Are they ever going to do a restock? The one time I am truly waiting on a restock will be the time they won't do it.

Thanks for the answer. So weird how traditions can vary from country to country. I always thought santa visited everyone but it seems like you have your own santa just by a different name which is cool. Definitely takes the heat off of xmas for you money wise I am sure. Ya, we can do two days with xmas eve and all but that's mostly just when my husbands family gets together and since his parents have passed away it's just with his extended family. My family does xmas day. But places are only closed the one day. I have actually worked xmas eve on several occasions. It sucked.

My Lavish Rose set arrived today.
mac_boxday.gif
Yay!!! I got my gift wrap too which I didn't expect after everyone else saying they didn't get theirs. It's so pretty.

I also received my samples from Nordstrom's but have to wait for my WOG and Touch up Kit. Bummer. If they had shipped together I'd have them by now. Also, gonna be getting my GD lippie through a cp soon. I hope today but the mail is still not here. Bleh. Plus, my 20 month old daughter is going through a nap strike. Oh goodie.

Is it at Valley Fair? I preordered 2 gloss sets and planned on picking them up Thursday...I wonder if I can.
hey girl sorry i missed this reading all the threads lol. ya its nords at VF. I think if your pre ordered and it says the 8th then you can get them tommorow. i think the girl that took my order made a mistake when she wrote the 17th, she had said at the time that the sets were coming out during the trend show. So when i called her she said that they had so many preorders that their first shipment was sold out but i ordered like a few days after marilyn was released so idk. AS long as i still get my shit im cool lol. No confirmation on my pigment set it still says in process. But i can pick up my lavish rose set on the 12th. And then i am ready to move on to Taste Temptations! I wish i could avoid it but purple and magenta are my favorite colors to wear and periwinkle is up there too!! I cant resist!!!!!! lol

A Natural Flirt is definitely a HG shade on me. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I've already worn through the pattern and almost the entire swoosh. Why, oh why, did they make these so tiny?!

Ooh I like the sound of the princess and tinkerbell ornaments! I love when my home is all Christmassy - I'm only living 20 minutes away this year rather than 4 hours, so I get to help decorate

Okay. Please excuse how absolutely horrible I look. I have to take photos by the window for them to show up properly and I only had 4hrs sleep last night so the light was blinding me hence the horrid face and inability to smile, lol. In the photo I'm wearing GlamourDaze l/s, Small Vanity blush and Whisper of Gilt EDSF on my cheek bones, all on NC15.

I don't know what you are talking about... You look pretty :)
This lipstick does look good on you) I think I think it would look similar on me too actually which is great cos I love it on you.
The only problem I can't afford it now.. well I probably could, but I can't since we will be moving to our new house, hopefully, next week.. I do hope it will be sill available when I get paid next time..))

Thats really intireresting how different countries have different beliefs. In Russia Santa Claus, which is called grandad frost(translated) lol and he comes at new year and brings presents to kids.. and christmas in russia is on 7th of January :)
