.

Ungaro looks fantastic, but nothing will compare to my beloved. *snuggles her heap of CoC*

Plus, I don't have to be guilty, because my rabbit corrected his brief dental problem himself!

One of his teeth got too long and he couldn't close his mouth properly and drooled all over himself.

He gnawed it down, though, and all is good again!

Next paycheque I set aside my Manish Arora money. Fortunately, that's just a baby collection.

CUUUUUULT OF CHEEEEEEEERRY! *dances about*

Oh - and for a non CoC thing? I ordered the double ended Wicked Lovely lippie from smashbox today. Figured I should have something a little lighter for when I want to switch things up, and I got a free o-glow sample and full size soft lights quad with it! HUZZAH!

 

[kobri]

okay, just got back *sigh* I picked up so scarlet and jampacked today, more when I get money. It was just...so...beautiful!

Yep, I DO believe it was made just for you

Poor rabbit - but the way you told it -

Oh my gosh...I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that SB Wicked Lovely lip pencil!!!

I got that cute little o glow sample too - its a pretty pink on me - but it didn't last on me very long

Well Samantha, you are lucky since my parents don't allow me to have a credit card-and I can't get overdraft protection because I have overdrafted so many times. I deserve worse than what I get, trust me.

I'm just wiped out though because I worked a 3-hour shift...and then I have to leave three hours after getting home to go back and work another two. Back to school equals extremely exhausting clients.

 

[Sanayhs]

Being 21 and legally permitted to get my own credit card at 19, my parents don't have much say. Plus, my dad actually supported it since, when properly maintained, it helps to build good credit.

Did you know a rabbit's front teeth can grow up to FIVE INCHES IN ONE YEAR!? That's a lot of teeth! Also, my bunny freaking LOVES catfood.

And I've been wanting that smashbox lippie since I laid eyes on the wicked lovely collection. I was sad, though, that the dark gloss was out of stock.

I didn't order sooner because I wanted to do the let's do lunch deal and I didn't want to pay the $10 shipping... Ah, well, I probably have enough glosses for now anyway.

Speaking of which - I'm running out of makeup storage. I was fairly limited in the size of my plastic drawers in the first place, and those are now STUFFED and I have stuff sitting all over the place. This isn't good! I need to expand. Heh. My teeny gloss drawer is now overflowing, and my lipstick holding thingie is too small now, too, and there's more on the way!

OH OH OH! I was so proud tonight! I've trained my boyfriend well: he criticized another girls bad makeup!

It wasn't even super terrifying, it just wasn't good. Too much blush and excessive, crunchy-looking mascara. Too bad for him he doesn't like my grape juice-stained lips (Bing and CoC). He thinks they're too dark. Pfffft. He has more learning to do!

Mattenes + gloss != good mix. The mattenes tend to come up off the lip once you put gloss on, so it definitely sheers it out, even if you'd put on a heavy coat. It can be pretty and fun.

The boy took me to supper at Steak & Stein. Oh man, now that's glamourous. We went to the grocery store after where I bought ice cream, whole wheat wraps, bananas and milk. Ooooh...

I'm in such a good mood from all this CoC!

I'm really debating over Cherry Blossom since I own Sugar Trance, too. Plus, I tend to prefer glosses with a bit more actual colour to them, you know? Tell me more about Liquer, please! That's one I've been on the fence about, whereas I'm damn certain about most sight unseen. Come now, enable the girl lusting after the entire collection!

Ah, much as I want the Tempting Quad and the browns would be a nice addition anyways, I just don't want this quad to go the way of some of my past purchases. As in, I get excited, play with it for a little, then I don't use it anymore.

Ahhhh, well, I'm picking up Liqueur today. I wish I could take a picture and post a swatch for it on my lips, but I'm at my bf's house, and while I have a camera, I don't have my data cable with me.

I'll describe it to you in FULL detail when I get it!

I know I'm going to love that color, I LOVED it when I swatched it on my skin yesterday.

Can't wait!

I think I'm going to B2M my Sugar Trance and stick with Cherry Blossom. I hate Sugar Trance the more I use it. It's just.. creamy with glittery, grossss.

I suggest!!!! Shimmery dark browns in your crease!~ Or golden tan on the lid with Newly Minted in the crease.

Blues will look great with the color as well.

Yeah.. I thought teaching would be rewarding.. but I just ended up being a baby-sitter.

Just one that could teach math. I can't believe those parents pay like.. $50 an HOUR for tutoring. So each parent paid $900 for the Algebra I course! God, I could NOT believe that! WOW. I would NOT spend that kind of money for ALGEBRA I. I'll teach my own kids, plzkthx.

YES, I second this whole-heartedly. I have learned the hard way as well.

 

[Sanayhs]

I ended up grabbing Liqueur today, and it is MUCH prettier on the lips than on the hand! Ohhh, man, I love these glosses! I can't wait for my MAC box with my secondary haul!

I've changed my lip so many times today, it's ridiculous. Bing and CoC together make this fantastic grape juice colour that I friggin' love.

 

[darkishstar]

^^ Yay! I realized that I was 5 pages behind or so after I posted that. GO ME! I'm SLOW.

Just. 2 more hours. I will have my stuff. I WILL have it.

And yes, I can't catch up. On all this music.. coming up with a Bimbo acryonym.

AND BEING HAPPY THAT THIS GROUP AND THREAD IS DOING SO AWESOME!!!

 

[BrokefromMAC]

Hi everyone. Ok I went to MAC today, and holy crap I love COC. Ok that sounds bad, see what you all did lol. But for real, I saw So Scarlet in person, and its so pretty. I am going to B2M for that

. Now I saw smudged violet in person and I am in love. I don't know if you guys saw my post from yesterday, but I was wondering if there are dupes for that color(from any brand). I can't afford to buy the whole quad for just that one color. I need help

Yep, I've got the fever too! I'm going to go and spend spend spend! It's been awhile since I really let myself go on a collection. So hopefully I don't do too much damage.

So Scarlet is going to look AMAZING on you, I know it.

I don't know of any dupes. Sorry. Wish I could help, but that's one quad I have absolute no interest in.

See I didn't catch CoC fever like the rest of you, mainly because I am a brights girl. For me, I don't need a dark purple. I did purple on the eyes with Cult of Cherry lipglass (over Tropic Glow), but it was Beautiful Iris with Violet in the crease and Fuschia on the outer corner, and then UD's Headbanger glitter liner. Figure if I do darker eyes (and that is as close to a smokey eye as I will get), I require glitter.

You! Do you have Impassioned lipstick? Now THAT is a bright lipstick! And so, so pretty.

I didn't want the quad either lol. I have deep truth already , never use it, I hate blues on me, I don't need another hightlight, or dark puple color either. The only color that I love and is so unique is Smudged Violet. I want that color so bad

. Damn it, why can't they make this color a single lol. I hope I like So Scarlet on. I never and I mean never wear red lippies, or much colors at all. I usually do bolder eyemakeup and a neutral lip like pale pink or beige or a gloss. I am trying to go out of my comfort zone and try new things with this collection

. You have me wanting the Liquor lipglass now *sigh* no more lol, I can't buy anymore.

 

[purrtykitty]

I must be the lone bimbo with no CoC. I'm not going until Saturday. It's just too much of a pain since my counter is all the way across town from where I live and work.

Hiiiii Susanne...it's been awhile!!

Just picturing Christopher Walken saying that!!

Have fun at Bebe tonight!

 

[Sanayhs]

The newest suggestions: Burning in my bottom, ow!
Bats in my belfry? Out!

I will not be over Cult of Cherry for a long time. I have a feeling I am going to be largely vamped out for the next season.

Okay so is it bad I read this as Velveeta cremestick? lmao. Apparently fake cheese on the brain!~

So I am thoroughly jealous of your haul!

I on the other hand, was a bit disappointed. sigh. the shadowy lady quad was really hard to get ANY to show on me. I didn't get it; am still hesitating. I don't know.

But I got spiced choc quad, jampacked (the ripe l/g was a bit disappointing), and got two overrich (i know, i know, i was going to skip them! but fell in love with the RICH colours of heritage rouge and copperbeam). Shazaaammmm!

Okay i know i'm doing this all ass-backwards, but now going back a few pages to again catch up!

I just got back from the mall and I took a big swatch of smudged violet to Sephora and although nothing is an EXACT dupe there were two that come extremely close. The first is Urban Decay's crash. Crash has a copper sparkle to it whereas smudged violet has more of a gold sheen to it. Crash is also a lot frostier. But they are pretty darn close. The other close color is NARS shadow duo in Habanera (the darker of the two) which is a flatter blackened purple with a low level sheen. Those were the only two that even came close to Smudged Violet. Hopefully that helps a bit.

I ended up buying more lip products today than I have ever before. I got Kirsch & Bing Mattene, Cult of Cherry & Cherry Blossom Lipglass, and So Scarlet Lipstick. I also ended up getting Blondes Gold and Antique Green pigments. I wanted museum bronze but it was WAY too coppery for my liking.

Hope everyone is doing well today!! Happy CoC day!
