I just came to confess that I had a terrible no good very bad day and on the way home I bought 3 eyeshadow palettes: 2 MAC and 1 KvD.

It did help, @katred. Now what would bring me all the way back to life would be if someone could tell me what kids movie the terrible (or is it horrible ) no good very bad day comes from. I have been saying it since I was a kid but now I don't remember from whence it came. I will have 2 check my new palettes for taupe representation tomorrow.

so i went through my stuff and listed the taupes:


  1. museum bronze pigment
  2. sweet sienna pigment
  3. prepped for glamour
  4. satin taupe
  5. moth brown
  6. groundcover
  7. groundwork paint pot
  8. copperplate
  9. magnetic fields
  10. quarry
  11. french grey
  12. winterized
  13. frost at midnight
  14. cloudy afternoon
  15. clarity
  16. bossa blue
  17. until dawn
  18. night manoeuvres
  19. stolen moment
  20. silver dawn
  21. superwatt
  22. it's physical fluid line
  23. solar bits - impassioned
  24. solar bits - black ore
  25. illamasqua empowered palette
  26. illamasqua complement palette
  27. the balm nude 'tude palette (sophisticated, selfish)
  28. l'oreal infallible eyeshadow in bronze taupe
  29. joe fresh eyeshadow - bronze
  30. makeup for ever aqua cream 15

also, i was wondering whether any of the shades in the lady grey palette or the all woman palette would classify as taupe? it's too dark here for me to have a proper opinion at the moment!

so i guess i am set for a whole month. i guess if i blend other shades in there i won't get bored. some of my taupes are blue, some beige, some purpley...
I totally forgot about Moth Brown, Copperplate & Stolen Moment!!! I'll list mine on Saturday---it's been a long day

It was a children's book: Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day. He's having a rotten time and keeps responding to his problems by saying "I think I'll move to Australia"

So funny, I don't know the book, but when I went to school I said that to, all the time! It's even in the yearbook - 'most likely to move to Australia'!!!!

Thank you Pretty! The blog is already live (the Marsala post should be up too) since last week (the link should take you directly to the blog now), the whole site will be hopefully live in Jan/Feb. We wanted to be live much earlier, but there's so much yet to do!

Artdeco is indeed a German brand. There're slowly branching out though and you can already get them in store in the UK. In North America, you can get them via Beautybay! Are you interested in a particular product or just curious in general? I've to admit that I don't own anything by them... *blushes* Their pricing is a bit unfortunate as they're nearly as expensive as Mac over here but without the allure, plus they're often sold at drugstores or department stores.


Good idea to layer it over lipstick! I was afraid that would make it feel gloopy on the lips, but I'll try it soon!


Awwwww Sage! Hope you're feeling better right now and are enjoying those new palettes!

Too many to multiquote! I need to see if I got that All Woman quad. I declare it should have been getting more love from me. I skipped it then I think I got it at the CCO. (off to search - I need an inventory document for real) Thanks ladies for your well wishes. I think it's just a bad reaction to the cold weather I have not had an asthma flare up since I left the east coast. I just do not look forward to the meds. Here's hoping my retail therapy did the trick. I will let y'all know when I have on a face lol.

I hope you find it Sage. I reach for All Woman quite often---it's just an easy palette to wear.

I hate to hear that you had a bad day, Sage. I hope that the eyeshadow palettes and yesterday being a Friday helped you feel better when you got home. I hope today is a better day!

I went through my stash and wanted to list my taupe eyeshadows. It may give the extensive lists here a run for the money: 1. Superwatt 2. Matte taupe in coastal scents revealed palette 3. Shimmer taupe in coastal scents revealed palette I know that was a lot to read. Lol. I'm going to pick up Satin Taupe and Nars Lhasa or Ashes to Ashes in the coming days. I realized that I've been looking at those Nars shadows for awhile but never pulled the trigger. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

Thanks Meddy! I feel a little better. When my headache goes away, I think "yay, it is gone" and then it comes right back. lol. Luckily it isn't that bad right now. Just nagging. Are you ready for the holidays? I think that I read that you celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas? I apologize if I have that wrong. Does your family have big celebrations? I'm supposed to travel to spend the holidays with my family. We are usually low key except we drink mimosas as soon as we get up with kids and are usually drunk by 9am. And by "we", I mean my sister and me. Everyone else drinks moderately. Lol.
