Do you find his timing suspect? I've lived through a work environment like this and it is quite difficult.
Glad to hear you're working with Ocean City & hope it pays off. Such a pretty blush!

Y'all I'm over here molting like a damn snake. Well maybe not that bad but I'm definitely peeling. I gave myself a chemical peel, which I've done before. This time, I did 2 layers of a Mandelic-Salycilic blend, which I'd only used 1 layer of once before. I wanted to do something that could potentially address the planet Earth (this hormonal cystic pimple) that had been orbiting my chin for 2 weeks. Well the instructions say to only use 1 layer for a max of 5 minutes. So I took that to mean that I could do 2 layers, 5 minutes a part, for a total of 10 minutes. :barf: Around minute 7, I noticed that the planet Earth had morphed into the moon because the bump had turned white! Needless to say, I neutralized my face with a quickness but the moon remained white. As an aside, I told my coworker about my chemical peel plans and she warned that I shouldn't come to work with a paper sack over my head (and my custom wig on top) on Monday. I texted her that she'd have a light skinned friend (look like michael jackson), she'd have a dark skinned friend (look like Michael Jackson). It took a few minutes but the pimple eventually returned to my regular NW45-NC50 skin color. Over the next 2 days, the pimple went down tremendously going from plant Pluto and it is now a dying star. But then the peeling started yesterday. I was late to work because I kept moisturizing my face and wiping off ans reapplying my makeup. Although I moisturized the peeling spots yesterday, I have larger or different areas peeling today. Now I'm paranoid that people are looking at me and wondering "WTF is going with her face!?" I am going to do a moisturizing mask tonight in hopes of ending the peeling.

You are not alone at all. I keep buying some variation of the shade by Estée Lauder's Dominant/Dominate lipstick. I love Bite Beauty's Sancerre lip cream and put it on randomly, like at a 2am bathroom break. I love it!
Darn you Meka! I went to look @ that EL lipstick shade and got a new lemming...Brazen.

Now I need to check out Brazen. I can't remember the name but I do like the red shade in the new line of EL lipsticks.
Medgal, I promise that I will use that peel sparingly. My skin loves glycolic acid and I've never had any peeling with glycolic acid peels, even the 50%. I used a fusion peel (a combo of a bunch of different peels including TCA, lactic, glycolic) and didn't peel. Well now I know. Lol.

sounds like quite a frightening thing this peel...please be careful!!!I'm not sure Pix. I guess it depends on the color that has me enthralled at the moment that I go for them. I find myself obsessed
with a color family at varying times---no particular rhyme or reason. Right now it's orange & coral. I'm not sure why it happens
like this but I find myself wanting everything orange & coral right now.
I just purchased my very first Bite Beauty lippies in---you guessed it----in the Orange & Coral family.I know I'm odd but does
anyone else go through this?
yes i basically am constantly buying purples. and reds. and for nail polish always magentas and corals. you don't know how many coral nail polishes i have had to give away just to make myself look less crazy....

hope you ladies are doing well! i'm looking forward to trying out my newly acquired blush tomorrow.
it will be good to take my mind off my annoying encounter yesterday with my ex's girlfriend. you know those times when you know the problem or crazy person is not you, but whatever happens still weighs on your mind?

I was so bummed that my More to Love recently fell apartlady danger is such a great colour and i can totally picture you looking awesome in it!
i b2m a couple of weeks ago for Pink Nouveau lipstick...but on my skin I feel I need to wear it with a darker liner...I think it's More to Love that I bought to go with it. it's a bit much for my workplace, so i'm waiting for a fun night out to wear it!
i just received my ocean city that i bought off another member here who swatted and didn't like it. it's also kind of stiff, especially in comparison to the tester...so i'm definitely thinking i'm going to wipe it with a tissue to get that over layer off...i did that with one of the wonder woman blushes and it made a big difference!

how bizarre! i haven't had that happen yet...didn't even know it was possible! were you able to salvage the product portion to use with a lip brush? how come you don't want to replace it?I was so bummed that my More to Love recently fell apartThe product total fell out of the casing---so annoying because it was perfect w/quite a few of my lipsticks. Not sure I'll replace it.
I'll take my chances and look crazy with my color clusters---no matter how excessive. Although I recently destashed, giving my daughter a boat load of makeup. She was more excited about it than I've seen her ever get over makeup---she's just not that into it.
your orange look sounds very beautiful and perfect for spring!

It was bizarre Aradhana---the entire pencil inside fell out. I put it back in and it kept falling out----made a mess of my hands. I was frustrated and just tossed it.
The color is amazing and went with several of my lipsticks. I'd consider replacing it but I'm afraid if it happened once, it would happen again.
Thank you! I'm in love with orange right now---for some odd reason. The Dior quint, Sundeck is really pretty and created a really soft, almost neutral look.

this won't help you now, but if something like that happens again - you should take it back to mac. they'd probably replace it for free since it was defective, regardless of when you purchased it. i have a few of the new prolong wear liners, and they have yet to fall apart like that on me...dunno if i can restore your faith...
the colour is quite special. when i put it on, i was like - 'now why don't i have more lipsticks in this shade'? watch out, blue-pink is going to be my new shade obsession! more to love is pretty special compared to my other fuchsia family products because it seems to pull a lot of blue/mauve tones into it...
you know just your description alone made me want to run out and buy it, but i have to stay away from those high end makeup lines! no additional vices required at the moment!

time or something. I store my lip pencils in a cool spot along with my lipsticks. I don't think I have anything else like it. I think I had paired it with one of my new fav
Guerlain lipsticks. You know you're totally talking me into getting another one---and I probably will!!! Next time I'll keep my receipt---just in case!!!

actually what i meant was don't worry about the bill -- my cousin once took back a brush that she had bought about a year prior, because it was shedding -- it was replaced. and another time i had taken a separated concealer in, hoping to check whether it was still safe to use...also replaced. i think when it's a quality control issue, they replace it without the receipt. those lipliners are relatively new products -- they shouldn't be drying out and falling apart so quickly!!!You know I should have done that but I don't recall if I got it at MAC or a department store---and you're so right about the color.I wonder if they just dry out over

I once had to return a MAC 182 brush for the same reason but I knew I had purchased it at a free-standing MAC store and they replaced it. They will not replace an item
that you purchase online at a stand-a-lone MAC store. Nordstrom will. My issue is that I have no idea where I purchased More to Love---MAC online, in-store, Nordies,
Macy's----
their cost and if it's shedding or whatever, it's going back. In fact, I have a NARS Yachiyo that I love but the ferrule is unravelling---like to the point where I can't even use
the brush. It's going back!!!
I'll definitely get More to Love again and this time I'll keep a record of where I purchase it. You're correct---these lip pencils shouldn't be falling apart like that.

NOW you tell me about this quint? And we are both stuck on the peach/coral/orange family? *hmph* ok, all jokes aside, this is beautiful.... I have to get it. I got lost in the Dior thread, so had no idea this was coming out.
