oh this makeup loving life we lead.
I know---to anyone who doesn't share this passion we seem like real nuts!
girlhaha.gif
I don't have a single friend that lives near me who shares this passion! My one sister
doesn't leave the house w/o makeup but she doesn't hoard collect it like me and the other one rarely wears it, if at all.

I'm kicking and screaming but fall made its arrival so I guess I'll stop whining and just embrace it---but not today!
I wore a pink black and white outfit today, (had to look nice when I got my flu-shot) so I coordinated my MU.

   [COLOR=0000FF]Thank you so much Yazmin!  BA is a great quad for anytime, but especially for fall.[/COLOR]     [COLOR=0000FF]Sage, I've been so bad that I don't deserve to look at any lippies, but mattes are my fav formula----so [/COLOR]:yaay:  [COLOR=0000FF]I'll be checking out Pander Me.  See what you[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    just started here![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    Do we hold you to your "I am done buying backups' declaration????[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    [/COLOR]:haha:    [COLOR=0000FF]Thanks Naomi---I've missed you!!!  I hope all is well!!![/COLOR]
BTW, yes, I totally want to be held to this. I put it out there for some accountability. Also, adding no more nudes (after the Matte collex).

You got it Lady Sage, but we'll only know if you tell us!
girlhaha.gif
For some reason I have a weakness for nudes. Not sure what's up w/that.
I do know my lipstick drawer runneth over and I shouldn't be buying ANY lipstick of any kind!!!

I absolutely love Fall! Why thank you Miss Meddy!

I love the colors---the change of the leaves and Thanksgiving---my all time favorite holiday--cooking and hanging
out w/family. Best thing ever!! Oh and I like bringing out warmer clothing. That's like having a whole new
wardrobe because you haven't seen your stuff in a year...and it helps if things still fit!!!

Best time of year ever! I can't wait to bust out my big sweaters and boots. Definitely helps if everything still fits. Hahahaha

We're headed up to Niagara Falls and I pulled out my Uggs to pack but it's warm up there. I think nights will be
cool like here, but I suppose medium to light weight layers will do the trick.

I gave up packing! I had my suitcase on the sofa in the den and Abby jumped in to it

Oh that sounds like a wonderful trip! I hope you have a great time, Meddy!

It also might be pretty cool around the falls themselves so something light/medium weight might be a good idea. Looks like Abby wants to go too. lol

Hello ladies!

Sorry that I kinda fell off the face of the earth. I had such a horrible month that makeup wasn't really on my mind. It was a good day when I managed to put anything on my face at all. I had the feeling every shitty thing that could happen happened. Well, I still did my nails. And I'm still looking forward to our honeymoon that'll start in 6 days! It will be so nice to be away from everything and lying on the beach. That's the one thing that keeps me going right now.

One of the things that completely floored me was that my best friend was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. She's two years older than me and has three little kids and if anybody of you could spare some positive thoughts or prayers for her, it would be really appreciated. First thing I'll do when we'll return from Hawaii is to visit her and help her with everthing she needs help with - it pains me a little bit that I can't be there sooner!

Med, I saw your post that included the look with Guerlain's Geraldine. That's a Rouge G, right? Are these worth the splurge? I'm quite unimpressed with TF lippies, but want to treat me to something really nice and luxe in duty free.

Missed you much Anneri! I'm so, so sorry about your dear friend and can totally relate to what you're going through. I will definitely pray daily for your friend, her family and for you. This absolutely touches you all in unimaginable ways. Try to make the best of your trip---you so deserve it. Perhaps you can look at it as a way of revitalizing yourself in preparation for being with your friend---you'll be well rested and ready to support her.


Yes, Geraldine #77 is a Rouge G and it's my favorite of the four that I have. The formula is smooth and long-lasting, >4 hrs w/eating and drinking, the pigmentation is great and this color is really very pretty. The packaging is another story. While I enjoy having a mirror housed within the case, I find it bulky and heavy. On the upside, there's no way for it to get lost in your purse.
