I don't know what's wrong with me lately I blame my toddler for waking me up at 5 am this morning running up and down hallway Lol My neighbour must love him ? Well anyhow I went downstairs at 730 And said to hubby omg is that a tom ford lipstick box you bought me from tf He said you what ( I thought can it be ) Anyways I stepped closer and it wasn't :( sad face Guess what it was lmao His stamper for work It so looked like a tom ford black box Gutted I said ohhhhhhh I thought it was a tom ford lippy He said what tom ford I said yes He said even if I would buy u one you prob wouldn't like it and I wouldn't know what colour to get you ( I'm thinking in my head I can give you a list right ? ) lol And before I had time to say anything he said when we went to geneva airport duty free You looked at them all and turned your nose up I said 1) you pulled me out of my fav victoria secrets and I put some stuff back as you had said tf was next door ) 2) I was peed as there was only lippys and varnishes and not really the stuff I was looking for at the time as they didn't have every colour just a few no pinks no nudes Reds n that oh prob one or two nudes and a hot pinky colour I think and some corals Nothing limited No foubdation No nothing So I said you had pulled me away from vs to tf but nothing I wanted lol Anyhows I was going to say I give u a list then but thought nope But what I may do is mmmmm text him later and try n push me luck We ain't no money ATM anyhows well he hadn't lol No point in asking sometimes I feel But then I can try Don't ask you don't get !!!!! Was thinking also If hubby bought a lot of my make up from duty free whether I'm saving £5 or £10 it be so much cheaper for me in the long run And but then hubby know exactly what I have prob Plus if I give him the money he be like I'm not doing this 247 look how much money your wasting :( don't need that poop in my life ( didn't swear lol ) Anyhows He said I got do many lipsticks I don't need anymore I looked in the mirror with a grin on my face And thought yer what ever He says you won't ever use them all up Ha ha ha !!!! so funny

Better to ask for forgiveness then permission. One can never have too many lipsticks. You deserve and have the right to feel pretty. You are not a child. You are not owned by your husband. My mom was a housewife since my dad traveled so much. She use to say, she wished she could go to an office and get out of the house. Baby steps, but remember, you are beautiful, you are an adult, and raising a baby is a 24/7 job. You do have worth. Hope you got some sleep.

I only have one pair of Chanels. They are classic big black ones with the silver cc's at the temples.
I own several pairs of Chanel. I bought the big bug eye ones that are in this rich emerald green frame. Ordered from Chanel in Paris, since they were the ones who had them. Then my credit card put a hold on it as possible fraud. I really like the sunglasses worn in the recent show. But they don't seem to offered yet.

It helps to have a healthy amount of discretionary funds, to be honest.

I budget makeup like it's another entertainment expense- it's a hobby, so it is art and entertainment for me! Every pay period, I set a healthy makeup budget aside. I haven't had to use a credit card (aside from online purchases, but I pay that off once I receive the item) that I didn't pay off in a couple of days in about 2 years when it comes to makeup spending.

This is an expensive habit that adds up fast- by doing it this way, 0 guilt about spending funds I've already budgeted. This system works for me, but YMMV. It's all about finding balance. For instance, I don't go to bars like I did as a grad student, so beer money has partially become beauty money!
Very well-spoken and fiscally responsible, Starletta! :)

Too grown up for me, but great plan!!!! In fairness if I had a hubby, kiddies, and a "normal" life style vs. flying all over the country where ever the latest natural disaster has occurred. I might actually have to be more responsible. At this stage in my life, I can still play and not worry about mortgage payments. Which I am very grateful for the opportunities I am able to experience since I am pretty much allowed to fly by the seat of my pants. I do respect all who juggle their families needs, careers, husband's and financial challenges. I know someday, I will need to settle down.

I bought some TF sunnies last summer but I'm either getting another pair of Gucci or Chanel's this summer. I don't have a budget because I don't have children or a husband so I can spend my money on whatever I want. That's the beauty of having a carefree lifestyle, I can do whatever I want and don't have to answer to anyone. However at some point I will marry and start a family and of course then I will have other priorities but it will never stop me from being who I am and the future husband will respect that, just as I will respect whatever his passions are.

As my daddy tell any boyfriends, she comes with a disclaimer. This is the way she is, accept or move on.

For where I live perhaps I should. I think Saks has $50 off $250+ designer sunglasses but I was really checking for something else so I can't be sure.
Yes you should be protecting those gorgeous eyes from the sun!!! I used to collect them but not anymore. I have several pairs of Gucci, YSL, Dior, Versace, Fendi & Chanel.
It might be time for some new ones.

I tried the way I was shown yesterday to apply the stick foundation, again, it really works!!!! I took the cream foundation brush, gentle swipes across the top to pick up product. Then gently buffed into my face. Then I took the concealer with the two ends, and used the slimmer one to cover the yuck, buffed out. After I was done with everything took the bronzer brush with a light dusting of pressed powder over the T zone and perfection!!!! I think TF should offering classes on how to use their brushes. I had watched numerous you tubes that showed taking the stick applying directly on the face, then buffing. I ended up with streaks. From obviously too much product.  All stores will eventually carry the retired products that are being re-released. 
So I'm guessing I need this brush for my stick foundation.

No hubby or kids, but I am a homeowner- which makes things real.

I promise I'm not a real grown-up though. Real grown-ups don't do things like blast the Shots song on max, spazzing out while driving down the interstate with one hand on the wheel and a Red Bull in the other at 4:30AM. In fairness, the road was pretty empty and I was in a business suit trying to get to a very serious and important meeting. But no, I'm not a real grown-up.

Back to Tom Ford... my SA texted me a photo today of all of the returned lipsticks. Moroccan Rouge has finally arrived, so I may have to go play. I don't know if I can fathom buying 4 TF lipsticks in less than 7 days! Afford v fathom.

I may have missed this being discussed in here, but I just received an email from one of my NM TF SAs that they received 11 new colors (lipsticks and lip shines) as part of the regular collection, NOT summer. When I called she was gone, but one of the SAs told me to look on TF.com to see the new colors. I did see several colors that I don't recognize in both lipsticks and shines. Anyone know anything about these new colors? Are they all the repromotes? Some just didn't look familiar to me at all. Like a lip shine named Vinyl? Lol

It's prescription sunglasses for me. But hey, more makeup money.

They're all repromotes joining the permanent line. 2 of the lipsticks are mattes (the 2 LE from holiday).
Ok, thank you! So the ones I didn't recognize in the lipsticks were Naked Coral, Forbidden Pink and Bare Peach. I guess these colors were before my time? There are also a few in the lip shines, but I don't care as much about those lol
