I ordered AC and HC online Sunday and its still showing in process at Nordstrom. Any idea what's going on? I ordered some non LE items and they are being shipped already.

when i last checked they were on nordies but backordered till 1/21.

Yikes.. When I ordered it didn't say back order. This sucks

I'm sure I posted about it in the GP thread when it came out last year. Maybe check there?

Thanks

The mineralize lip balm give me 0 color. But still I bought two of the same- pure and tender because it feels good on the lips not sticky. I chose the colors that looked pretty in the tube due to the non color pay off. I like the coral looking one too but passes as I have so many lippies that color. Oh!the deeper plum shade did yield a slight tint....

Upon the urging of Prettypackages, I only purchased one MLB, Nice & Simple and I love it. It's a bronzy gold that complements my nudes. I've worn it with Warm Companion and other light shades. It's also provides a pretty wash of color on its own.

I don't work in a normal office, so i can usually wear whatever i want, blue violet, teal, frosted forest green, to hang out at the local café. But, for example, when i'm meeting a client, especially for the first time, i'll wear a sensible "normal" color. I want them to think i'm competent, not wacky. I consider Hot Chocolate and Double Shot to fall into that "safe" range, along with warm pinks and pinky peaches. I don't wear red, orange, or bright/hot pink in any circumstance, because i look terrible in them.

But i know many people have to conform to some standards in their place of work, where safe or "normal" colors are de rigueur. So, i say, crack out the fun colors when you're not there!

Great advice! Thank you lilinah. I've even added purples to my stash--getting pretty wild

I'm going to get careblend. Where are you putting AG? On your cheeks?

I may try Careblend too. I tried Studio Fix Powder + Foundation and it was awful---rather I think I'm the problem, not the product. It just seems to require a good bit of tweaking to get it right on me, and I'm not too fond of a matte powder look. I went from Face & Body (the ocean) to Studio Fix Powder + Foundation (the desert) when I really wanted something in between.

Your looks are always so lovely!!!

Try Studio Sculpt + Sheer Mystery Powder. This will give you a very natural look, but not overly dewy.

I was doing so good not buying polish and avoiding the thread and now you tell me there is a A England sale?! I had to check the site and it is a great sale why o why?!

Stay away Pinkdolface--drink the KoolAid and there's no turning back

 

[Medgal07]

Just us going bananas over nail polish.

There are also a couple of great sales going on too. One with Zoya and another with A England. I took part in the sales and it will be my first time trying both brands.

Nice CC--took me a minute but I got it--must be the NP fumes.

Trying to keep up w/your quick wit!

Also what lip liners should I wear with AC and HC? I can't wear lippies without them!

I got Soar today to go with AC and my Fire Sign. It might actually work with HC I'll check it out.

Oh yeah, I want your e/s blending skills too

Edit - I just realised how pervy my avatar makes this sound
