Oh not me. I was in Whole Foods this morning getting a special toothpaste that very few places carry. A sales
associate told me that it would be 25 % off on Black Friday. I said thanks, but no thanks. I won't share that story
w/hubs---he'll have a stroke knowing I passed up a good bargain. It's normally a ten minute drive---on GF it could
easily take 45 minutes, not including parking once there & navigating crowds. I've exhausted myself just talking
about it!

We also observe Hanukkah, so I'll devote the appropriate time to it, but I'll have to get creative because the last
night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas eve this year. I like the tree up early so we get to enjoy it longer.

Hi ladies! So I went back to the drugstorethat has nyx...but instead of leaving with nyx stuff, I ended up getting two Maybelline color tattoos...bad to the bronze and dynamic black. I've heard the first one mentioned in many of your looks, so had to see what the fuss was all about! And they were only $5 each, which is basically 50%... Black Friday stuff sounds crazy. I might try to get that pearlfusion palette but not sure... I didn't realize that prabal gurung released in store today! I was going to try the store tomorrow to pick up an ultramarine pink, but I think I must have missed it. I assumed it was a Thursday release as per usual... Maybe I can try calling the store in the morning, but I'm thinking if the stock is limited then my chances might be slim... I guess sometimes these collections go to tge cco, like Gareth Pugh did, so maybe there is hope!

I hope it's at the CCO, it's a beautiful color. BUTTTTT, there might be a Nars Audacious similar.

I checked the store and they said they could hold one till the end of the day... So I can check after work. Yay! I actually prefer the formula of the old nars lipsticks and Mac....(yep blasphemy!)

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? LOL Just teasing. Why do you like them better.
I back to mac'd for Fig1, bamboo, and sketch so I wore those yesterday with LER lipstick. Pedro blush, concealer and Flatter Me Beauty POwder. LOVED IT!

That sounds pretty, Pretty. I love Fig1 and Sketch!!! I have a ton of empties to B2M. Do I need Bamboo???

I'm in for lipstick Colour week in December, although I might change orange/ coral week to plum/ berry week for my purposes. I like my corals, but berry shades tend to work better for me and I have so many more of them... On the other hand, my corals and oranges don't get the same amount of love. Regardless, I'll be joining in

Well I think it's just that I find the more emollient formulas to be too slippery feeling for me. I like when the lipsticks are drier. The more emollient ones also tend to bleed more on me. That sounds like a very pretty combo.
Mmmm...yes you need bamboo.I am actually surprised you don't have it already! But maybe check your stash for dupes... I know you have a lot of other brands, so possibly you may already have that shade?
this sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately I'm not sure I packed any red lipsticks with me this week, but fingers crossed that I have black metal dahlia, in which case I will wear it for sure! To keep my bags light, I think I took out a bunch of things from myakeup bag, including products I had included last week but hadn't worn. I think all I have left in there are mlbb's!

But of course we can Sage!!!!! I'm in. An opportunity for me to wear my Guerlain Rouge Parade lipstick & brand new Rouge parade lip gloss, all while
remembering that Aids remains a formidable illness from which many people still die.

Totally acceptable!!! I'd say berries are kin to the red family wouldn't you?
Good deal. Now I have to find the most matte, bright, possibly neon red out there (in my stash, anyway). Suggestions?

I was thinking that. I have some berries that are closer to red, some closer to pink and others closer to purple. I might try to do a week of corals and oranges. We'll see how things unfold.

I checked my sizable MAC eyeshadow stash (inventory document) and I don't have Bamboo---described as light beige w/peach, matte e/s. I probably have something
close. If not I'll simply B2M for it.

totally makes sense.Totally acceptable!!! I'd say berries are kin to the red family wouldn't you?
I would have thought berries would be close to purple? Do we have our colors yet?
hmmm, what do you have? I'm going to go play in my stash and report back.
What are you doing on your eyes and cheeks.

and I agree with what Aradhana said about bamboo. I like it for that nude lid look.
I have a lot of reds. I am going to be sure to wear OCC NSFW and Manhunter this week but I want something special tomorrow. I plan to wear a nude/neutral eye with a TON of liner and mascara all week, contoured cheeks and a hint of blush. If I feel frisky I am going to pull out MAC Frankly Scarlet. I have (top of my head): NYX Plush Red, Perfect Red (mattes), Fire, Eros, Snow White (round tubes) NYX Amsterdam and Monte Carlo, soft matte lip creme Stila Beso and Fiery liquid lipsticks KvD Underage Red, liquid LimeCrime Red Velvet MAC Relentlessly Red, Glam, Kinky, Russian Red, RiRi and Ruby Woo waiting for you to report back...

Pretty, I just had RED raspberries last night.
I think we can be flexible enough that if someone wants to do a different color for a given week, that it's ok. The challenge then will be, what ever color family you choose,
you'll commit to a week.
