Hello hello! Anybody remember me?
We returned yesterday from our honeymoon, and right now I'm trying to get over the most horrible jetlag ever, just put the third load into the washing machine and trying to get used to normal life again. The life, you know, in which nobody makes you amazing meals, you don't have a pool outside your window, nor the ocean and a wonderful beach with the finest sand you can imagine, no little helpers who clean the room after you left it, no amazing adventures like seeing the sunrise from the top of a volcano, driving through a rainforest, swim under a waterfall, snorkel with little colourful fishes and seaturtles, ride a helicopter and being generally in the most awesome place on Earth!
So, basically, I loved it. I really liked San Francisco though two and a half day was much too short a time to get to know it, but Maui? Amazing. Gorgeous. My vocabulary can't cover the experience. If you have the chance, go there. Also, the Andaz was the most perfect hotel I've ever been too.
Needless to say, I didn't wear any MU. On most days it was sunscreen (a lot of it!), some brow gel, mascara and lipgloss. I hauled a bit at Sephora and Mac in San Francisco, but I got one np while on Maui and that was it. I truly felt like on a MU break! I didn't even check Specktra! I've a lot of threads to read now... And I'll be picking up my pink game for the rest of the month! Np first thing tomorrow!

That's so cool Anneri. Did you make those polishes?today i did a full look because i had to go and get an id photo taken...i think somehow i looked a little too made up. not for the photo, but when i went to the gym later on the makeup really hadn't budged, so i got some strange looks from the people who were there barefaced or with very little makeup. but it's not like i put the makeup on just for the gym class, so whatever.
anyway, i had used my giorgio armani silk foundation in 7.5 towards the centre of my face, mixed with mac mineralize liquid in nc45 on the perimeter. i used my new(ish) hourglass dual ended face brush, which so far i really love. it creates a really nice finish, and i like the fact that i could potentially keep it in my bag without making a great big mess.
my bcam item was eurydice! i love how it looks like i drank kool-aid or ate a pink popsicle, not like a lipstick per se.
i've been trying to train my ears for an oral french language evaluation i have to do, so i've been trying to listen to french videos on youtube. at first i was listening to people saying numbers and conjugating verbs, but it was a bit too simplistic, so i moved on to makeup tutorials! anyway i found a very good channel if y'all are interested in french makeup videos....
Wow. That is one gorgeous lipstick. When I first saw it I thought, "someone made a lipstick out of Coeur Battant blush" eurydice lipstick

You need Nouvelle Vogue. You could really work it. Thanks for the recs...WHY did Embrace me not come to mind? I will definitely try it with More to Love - that does not get nearly enough wear from me.

Hope you're feeling better Med! No, didn't make the polishes myself. The pink with sprinkles is from Hard Candy and the blue one is Essie Find me an Oasis. I've to start making polishes again - haven't done so in a while! And thanks to you, Pretty and Dominique for the welcome! Also, my US haul!

I think you're right Sage---between the color & the formula-----like what was I thinking
My Embrace Me is very short because it's my go-to lip pencil for most of my pink lippies.
It was hit and miss for me. I couldn't get a smooth line no matter how much or how little product I used - always had to go in with an angled/line brush afterward. Ultimately, I returned it.

That's good to hear Med. I ended up with Geneva because I always wear corals, much more than pinks, but while it worked very well on Maui, I'm a bit miffed right now and wish that I#ve had chosen a more autumnal colour! I#m just craving wine and berry hues right now. Corals, not that much.I'm much better, thank you. Last week, Meddy needed a Medic!

Great choice Anneri. Geneva has become a go-to coral for me, but right now I'm so there with you in craving berry & wine shades! I blame that on today'sIt's a little shopping bag I got from the ABC store on Maui. I'm a big HK fan, and it's so cute with the little Lei and Hibiscus flowers!
