On purging your stash, it is a good idea. The County where my P's live there is only one shelter for women and children. When donations are made it is usually clothing, bedding, etc. This shelter helps these women obtain the items for starting fresh. Think of all the stuff we all took from whomever in our first apartment???? These women also receive training for becoming employed. What is forgotten, and we all so know it is true. When in the job interview they look at you as an entire package. As in, is your hair brushed? Too much or no makeup? Especially if this is a job where you will be representing the company, be it the lady at the window or whatever. That is why on many occasions my Mom donates her makeup to this shelter. As in she brings it to the actual shelter, usually with a MUA to show the ladies how to use it. I often bring extra items with me when I work the fires. Again, a touch of lipstick, blush, even when you have lost everything, does make you feel just a tad bit better.

Great idea. I didn't know hey would take makeup. I'll check into that. I've donate clothes, toys, and other items. I don't know even if there was a shelter in my town 30 yrs ago. Thank God for my parents. They told us we always had a home no matter what. Three weeks before turning 21 they came home from church one Sunday night and found my barely 5 month old son & I reading books. They didn't know what I was living through. I hid my bruises & all for a yr & a half. I was ashamed and humiliated. I didn't want to embarrass my family. Of course that wasn't the case at all. Nothing came before the health and wellbeing of my son and I. People thought domestic abuse only happened in low brow areas of town & most certainly not in families like mine. I'm not being a snobby bitch. It's just sad & wrong that a lot of people still think that way. I also knew my daddy & brother would've damn near killed my husband. Back then (in the south anyway) even in families of good standing it was a given & many times overlooked that you don't in mess with daddy's little girl in an improper way or there'd be hell to pay. That's just how it was then & sometimes still true. I'm so pleased that speaker are going to schools, businesses, and other places to educate people on just how widespread this issue is. abuse of any type happens from the very affluent to the very poor and anywhere in between & mostly behind closed doors & usually well hidden. The counselor at my daughter's high school & I worked together to do this with teens. I called every source possible & requested any type of materials and pamphlets on many topics such as types & things they may see as normal could be red flags & not ok of dating violence & date rape, teen suicide, teen pregnancy, home problems, and many other topics. We wanted them to know any of these things or whatever happen to others as well, or suspect a friend may be in one of these situations. We sat up an area in a small room outside her office with info on these topics & more so the kids could quickly walk in & grab something & read later. In any case they were not alone & to please talk to someone they trusted & together they would make a plan on seeking help and/or how to approach & tell their parents if needed & what to do that fit their specific issue. They needed to feel there are people who do care, that there is a way out, and they are stronger than they may realize. I apologize for straying off topic. I wanted to take the opportunity to say these things as I'm sure there are some here who may be in a similar situation. There is no shame in speaking out. Please do so.

Ok I'm off my :soapbox: I'm looking forward to checking out this collection. Some of the new or upcoming collections by other brands I feel are bla or just indifferent about. All have their misses though at times. I try to stay on top of things. However lately many great products have slipped by. I've been focusing on my continuous search for a foundation that works for my skin. There surely is one out there somewhere. I was in Vegas last week on our annual sister trip. At a CCO I was able to snag 2 Tom Ford e/s palettes (can't remember the names) one was green, their last, 3 Bobbie Brown liners & a BB palette, and a few l/s I grabbed as it was a bit past their closing time. They said as soon as they get any Tom Ford it flies off the shelf. I was hoping to find more. 30% off TF = :nanas: Wouldn't it be great to find Chanel, Guerlain, Chantecille, & many more brands like that? We'd have to mortgage the house & sell the grandkids. I'd have to restrain somewhat, can't live without my 2 babies.

I salute you! You're incredibly brave (even though you shouldn't have had to be) and I think sharing your story and working with teens on awareness is absolutely awesome!

You are absolutely right that this is an issues that hurts EVERYONE. I am so sorry that you went through that, but I am so happy that you found strength to get out of that situation for yourself and your young son. I am also happy that you had such strong love and support from your family. Like many issues, this is one that needs to come out into the open, so more victims/survivors can get the help and support they need. I know I am random internet stranger, but I think you are amazing.

I'm confused. In that photo, the quad really does look so much like Harmonie Du Soir which I have and adore. I thought the new quad would be more of a cross between HDS and Topkapi, another that I have and love. I guess I'll wait for swatches.

The Illusion D' Ombre swatch looks a lot more brown than I'd thought. I figured it would be more like Ebloui which I missed and have skipper's remorse about. But that won't stop me from getting this one!
