I'm so upset.
I just was cleaning and we threw stuff in the dumpster.

10 mins later, I realized that I accidentally threw away my back up of Girl Next Door.
It's brand new, in the box and it's somewhere in the dumpster. I had it sitting on the couch arm, next to my empty boxes from the other products, because I'm a genius and can't seem to put things where they should go.

I actually got into the dumpster and was trying to look for it, but the trash is so gross that I can't even tell what's what. There were literally spiders crawling out of peoples trash bags and cigarette butts everywhere too. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy, climbing into the dumpster like that.
I looked through the bag of garbage we threw away and it's not in there. It's not in the box of trash either. I found both empty pearlmatte powder boxes and the empty lipstick box from my Ronnie Red. The empties were in there.
But no Girl Next Door.
I'm so upset right now. I can't believe I just did that. It's so stupid.

Oh no!! Maybe it's still somewhere in your house since you didn't find it in the dumpster : (

Thank you all for the sympathy!

I am hoping it shows up somewhere in here, but I really think it's in that dumpster. But I don't have a hazmat suit, so there's no way I'm digging around for it more than I did. Just have to cut my losses. Plus the box is so small it would be really difficult to find. =(
At least it was just the lipstick and not a powder, or something like that. and it's not the end of the world, it's just a lipstick. I know that logically.
It just is a huge bummer.

It's too bad they don't sort all the trash before putting it in the landfills. I swear they would probably find all kinds of brand new stuff, jewelry, money and ID's that accidentally got thrown away.

I'd still be digging in there!

Ya, I dug around as much as I could. =(
I was scared someone would call the HOA on me, or the cops though. The place we live in is pretty strict about things, so I didn't want to push my luck. I'm sure they would have just laughed at me if they found out why I was in there, but still.

For the ladies who thought BB was a little hard to work with, Athens from Buxoms Big and Healthy Lipstick is almost the same and is a better formula. It doesn't settle in the fine lines! Athens is more coral than pink but when paired with lasting sensation lipliner it looks just like BB maybe even a little better. I am really thinking about selling my BB because of Athens!

Picking up my DLG today! Hooray! Just thinking how my MAC lipsticks suit me! I only have two, Strong Woman and Daddy's Little Girl. My name literally means woman and friends like to call me strong, and I'm certainly one of those daddy's girls haha. :3

Haha that's cool! I hope you'll love DLG. I just ordered a 2nd BU online and now it's already sold out together with all the other lipsticks! I literally saw it coming online and a lot of the items were never there like Oh Oh Oh (which is called Something Sweet online), the Caramel Sundea quad, 2 of the pearlglides, the pigments and most of the accessories, so strange. I also went to my counter this morning and picked up Cream Soda and a BU of Ronnie Red. I tried RR this morning with Cherry l/l and I can definitely see the difference on my lips between this and my other reds. It's more pink than Absolute Power and I just love it! I can see why this works with the Spoiled Rich quad. Normally I wouldn't like red lips with purple eyeshadow, but this has enough pink and it complements the purples actually. Here's a pic.

I picked up Boyfriend Stealer today! :) They still had Daddy's Little Girl so I swatched it and I'm SO SO SO happy I didn't order it online, NOT my color. And I'm really glad I bought Cream Soda (online), I was afraid it would be like the Immortal Flower fiasco (didn't show up at all on my skin) but it isn't so yay for that!

I am LOVING so many of my new Archie's goodies! I think the items I will use the most are Prom Princess and Mall Madness, total no-brainers for my colouring, but I'm also really digging Cream Soda and Flatter me. I see a lot of potential for Strawberry Malt and Kiss & Don't tell (mixed together they are amazing), but I'm not really in the mood for those lip colors at the moment, they'll be more Springtime I think. I also got Veronica's Blush which is really pretty but a bit faint (even on my nw15-20 skin), I prefer my more pigmented pink Vera's pearl matte. I think the only thing I bought that I might not get a lot of use out of is Ronnie Red, of all my reds this one is actually the least "easy". I prefer my Heartless, Red Racer, and Après Chic!
I was indifferent to the packaging initially, but now that all my new items are tucked away I am really thankful that I can spot the white packaging and remember to use everything!

Hope everybody is loving all their goodies!

Ronnie Red looks gorgeous on you, Pinkdollface! I am really curious about Daddy's little girl. That is also your cup of tea!

Ow gosh I was bad and went to my counter a second time today and...yes I did it...I got a second Ronnie Red BU
girlhaha.gif
The MUA's thought it was funny that I was buying yet another RR especially after I said I wasn´t going to buy it and than one MUA sort of convinced me to get it (which wasn't that hard honestly) when the collection launched. That MUA now was like see I told you it was pretty! The colour is just like a perfect rose to me
