What kind of friend is that? That's rediculous. As great as they are... I'm sure they will come around soon.
I was expecting some mark up since they are in such high demand from being out of season, but $70++ really is kinda insane, yeah?

While they're great, not sure I would pay more than retail and sales tax. I'm considering letting go of my Spice backup and would only ask what I paid for it.

I use the YSL new one that is matte finish in the round jar. Or I use Kevyn Aucoin eyeshadow, it is like an ivory color. It has the other stuff in it so it can be used as a primer. If it creasing it might be blended out enough too. I will take a Q-tip and clean up as needed. I have hooded eyes. So at times my eyeliner will end up in my crease. I use the Chanel concealer brush to apply the YSL. Since I use the TF for the shadow. Doesn't matter if you use one for both. I just have a thing about clean brushes going into products and transferring germs from one pot to another.....

Thank you, I will try those. So far I've tried UDPP, TF's eye primer and MAC Paint pot. I'll keep trying!

I thought TF primer sucked, as did MAC. I also use By Terry concealer, primer, highlighter all in one. Or the YSL pen for primer. The By Terry has the fat wide brush, I got mine at Barney's. I think it was around 35.00. The chic from the Chanel videos has her own videos. I saw it there for the first time. So I actually do like it.

Thanks for mentioning the brushes you use to apply the cream shadows. I purchased the TF concealer brush to use and it makes a huge difference. The application and result is so much better than what I used before. But, I still get creasing. What primer do you use? I have oily lids so this is a constant challenge. TIA!

NARS smudge proof eyeshadow base. I love it so much more than any eyelid primer I've tried before.

I'm so glad you're doing well Yazmin. This is no walk in the park as they say. Knowing what we can and cannot tolerate seems to
work for both of us.

I'm much more immunologically sensitive it seems---it cost me a 6-month hospitalization, coma and life support. I take no risks.
El Hubs says my job is staying well. He never wants to go through that again, nor do I. I just pay close attention to my limitations,
go to the dentist every 3 months and live within minutes of our hospital and my specialists, whom I also see every 3 months.

Do you find either the YSL or By Terry primers drying? That has been my issue with all that I've tried until UDPP, anti-aging formula.

If you decide to let it go, please let me know! I would definitely buy it off you. I am always in your clearance bin drooling. I need to stop! lol

It is not uncommon for toddlers or even babies to have benign "d". It will last for days and then just go away. Some children can have this for as long as year if not longer. Their growth rate remains normal, everything is fine. Except they have loose well you know what I mean.  If there is a temp to go with it, then that is more then benign. Yes, schools are like a petri dish for lovely whatever is going around at the moment.

Didn't you say you are coming to the States at some point? If yes, please consider reaching out to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. They do not charge for the care of the child. They do take children from other countries. Please consider reaching out to them now. Perhaps they would be willing to see your little one? I have worked there, and it is incredible for all that they do.

@beautycool I thought about that too - about maybe scheduling a visit with a US specialist while you guys were over in the US on holiday. Perhaps they can more definite advice since they have more experience with his condition. It would definitely be worth a second opinion!

I just read earlier this week about a British teen that tried to tell her doctors that she felt that her rare form of stomach cancer was coming back based on the symptoms she had been experiencing. They told her that she was being paranoid and that she should stop googling symptoms. When they finally admitted her, it was too late for treatment and she died 10 days after . The hospital higher ups are now admitting that they did not listen to her with sufficient attention.

 

[ashievic]

There also might be a support group for your child's condition. As in they could lead and direct you to the top docs in the States. Many family members have worked for years with Doctors without Borders. There is help out, just reach out, you will find it!!!

loose stools can also be c diff. it's easy to test in any lab.

And sooooooooo beautiful

Awwww. Thank you Glammy

Physicians are so quick to tune out females or attribute their complaints to anxiety & hysteria.

Yes, always get multiple opinions when possible. Doctors are human, not infallible, and even specialists in the same field don't always agree on a course of action. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out a problem as well. Educate yourself and ask questions, you are your son's best advocate!
