Gold Dusk
Frost
Circa Plum
Royal Flush
All Girl
Deep Blue Green
Sunpepper
Softwashed Grey

So if anyone has any suggestions for these let me know!

Samantha I know that this isn't the right place to say this but if you need flammable or any other paints I know that my CCO has them. Just let me know.

Tomorrow I am going to my sisters in Bellingham, WA for a party since she and her husband just bought a house. A whole day with my parents, ole, and my sisters friends! I might not be around too much but I will be here in spirit.

Glad to see more people back!

Karin I am glad to hear that your job is going well. We miss you around here!

Ohhh...those are some awesome colors. Gold dusk is one of the best MAC pigments in my opinion. I use it with a mixing medium all over the lid and then I will use softwashed grey in the crease. It reminds me of the sundressing promo picture which is one of my favorite looks. Gold dusk with mixing medium can be really sheered out for a nice gold wash on the lid and paired with black liner it looks killer.

All girl and frost are kind of chunky so I like to use those with a mixing medium as well otherwise there is a lot of fall out. And deep blue green makes a great going out smokey eye paired with carbon or black tied in the outer v and/or the crease. Those are my suggestions!

Nah,I'm not doing anything too exciting this weekend Elegant.Having my direct tv installed on Sunday though!I 'm so excited about that,it is such a good deal.I am so tired of dealing with cable,plus Verizon offers it so,hell yes!Also me and my boyfriend will probably see a movie,I don't know what yet.

 

[gigglegirl]

oh karin how about a caramel macchiato colour? lol any latte colour I think would be great!

well sunpepper is just killer awesome, i do that all over the lid and a deeper brown in the crease.
circa plum is HOT over nice vice, but if you don't have that just but it over whatever base, then put a deeper purple of course in the crease

 

[gigglegirl]

i'm watching a freaky movie too, but more of a hack and slash--prom night. thennn my brother is here, he brought his rock band setup and we are going to play. i tried it once at his place before we got here, and the drums are quite tougher than guitar hero...can't wait to practice.

Thanks for the ideas! Sounds like I need to get myself some mixing medium. I have been wanting it for awhile, but there is always some new LE thing I get instead!

Thanks! I have nice vice (had to get my friend to pick it up in the UK since it sold out here) so I will definitely try that.

Oh I just swatched maroon and had a total macgasm!

I think I need Heritage Rouge now. eek

Damn all you enablers but thank you at the same time because I love both the gloss and the blush! Super gorgeous!

Well as you all know my life is now all work and no play, so I have very few opportunities where I'm not falling asleep sitting up and can come on here and actually stay on!

Katie, I too went back a few times to pick up an item or two! I wore Blooming today with Love Joy and was really happy with it. I'm finding Jampacked a bit dark, but did try it over Archetype l/s with good results. Now Rich & Ripe I just love!

Sadly though, I used the Tempting quad and it looked really nice in the morning but seemed to fade quite a bit as the day wore on. I have to try it with another base and hopefully i can get it to work, because I liked the way it turned out!

So my son came up to me today and said "you can't buy anymore lipsticks. If we wanna get a bigger house, you can't buy make-up mom". I think maybe DH was behind that, lol! I do think he has a point though!

 

[Sanayhs]

The boy and I watched the three Evil Dead movies earlier this week. Bwahahaha...

Gilded Green
Maroon
Gold Dusk
Frost
Circa Plum
Royal Flush
All Girl
Deep Blue Green
Sunpepper
Softwashed Grey

I have a bunch of those pigments, and they're great. I used softwashed grey on the lid the other day with poison pen in the crease, and that was quite pretty. Really brought out the purple in the softwashed grey. Maroon is good with silvers or nudes and smoked out. Also, really, I'd imagine it would be fun with oranges. I haven't played with my vial of that much yet. Frost is kind of boring

and all girl is... horrendously pink. I like to use it together with pink pearl every now and then, though, and whatever other colour strikes me at the time.

Just buy a bottle of glycerin from the first aid section of the drug store and mix that to three parts water. Works just peachy and is plenty cheaper.

EDIT: I usually buy a bottle of water, too, and dump out 1/4 of that and pour in the bottle of glycerin. Ha! Though, unless you use it a lot, smaller batches are better. And don't leave it in a clear bottle where it sits in the sunlight, the glycerin will get white and swirly and stuff in the water. Ick.

I use a shadestick under at least the part where Sharp will sit, and it lasts brilliantly all day. I know the shadestick form itself sucks, but it works wonders with both the Tempting quad and the Shadowy Lady quad, as it really punches up the colours, gives them much better lasting power. Also, Smudged Violet is infinitely hotter packed on over a shadestick than over a paint.

So yes. Shadestick + CoC Quads == Hurray!

 

[darkishstar]

Okay.
Two more days. Just two more days. I'll get my monthly injection of money from parents into my account.

I will make a last MAC and Forever21 order before school starts and then THAT'S IT. I'm hitting the books. I won't be around as much. I'm going to rush a sorority, I'm going to study really hard, have work, and spend time with the bf as well.

I have to pay fucking $500 on textbooks.
I am so angry. Amazon is no damn help, it was just a few bucks cheaper ordering from Amazon. So eff that, I'll get new books for about the same price. Used books aren't available from my campus book store? Bullshit, they just want money on new textbooks.

God UCLA takes all of my friggin' money away. For dorms we each pay about $1000 a month, for a little prison cell that we share with two other people and there's no AC or heater. AND we have to rent a fridge-microwave thing. SUCH A RIP-OFF. I so would commute if parking was readily available, but it's West LA of course there's no parking. You have to work outside of the city for a chance to get the permit, but with the permit comes another $1000 a year!

Yeah, so did I mention that I can't afford grad school?

Elaine I have totally been there with all of the college costs! Have you ever tried looking for your books on ebay? I have gotten a few of mine off of their for a good price. Have fun rushing! That is a pretty cool experience and I really enjoyed being part the greek system during college. College is such a fun experience and I would love to do it all over again (minus the stressing about money). Good luck and keep us updated!

I've been working my poor old tail off, that's what! HOWEVER, the question is not "Will I get a decent paycheck?", it's "Will my OT cover my Manish Arora stuff?". Gotta love overtime. I mean I am no closer to getting moved up and there is a girl who they are favouring over me, but it's just making me work my ass off even harder to retake my spot as the best. Luckily, one of my managers is noticing.

Oh thats right, NOTHING Except my lovely MAC... wait no. really...I think I am missing something else I have to buy. Hmmm....what could it be...

I hear ya, I need to get at least three pairs of jeans, one nice sweater, and a couple pairs of textured tights. I really need though a new pair of sunnies, as I haven't gotten any since January. They're these clear Dolce & Gabbana ones, and they're almost like doctor goggles. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

However, I did end up caving and getting the yellow coat that I wanted. GORGEOUS-it's lemon drop yellow. It's longer than I hoped but it will be so nice for the winter over a hoodie...gotta love my VS hoodies. Yeah, it was pricey, but I waited two months to get it, so it was worth the cash.

As for my MAC...I was good and avoided the temptation of getting more CoC goodies. Figure I will wait til after I go to the CCO on Wednesday or Thursday to see what to get. However...I have worked long days since Monday and will until Tuesday, which will probably be a 12+ hour day.

 

[coachkitten]

Well I am glad that they are giving you more hours Katie and that you have one manager on your side. I am sending good vibes into the universe that we get some good stuff at the CCO!

 

[KikiB]

Well the manager isn't on my side per se, but at least he knows that I am trying to put forth a big effort and prove why I am the best. The other managers I think are indifferent and if I were to leave, they would not care. At the same time though, both of the sales leaders are DREADING the thought of me even considering leaving because I am who they go to for product knowledge. I know way more than both of them put together.

I'm just annoyed because a) the new heels I got blistered my toe, b) I can't get decent sleep if my life depended on it, and c) we are being a segmentation store, meaning we're going to carry more of the Signature products...but we aren't even gonna carry Mandarin Lime or Lavender Chamomile, the former being my great day fragrance and the latter being absolutely essential, as in cannot live without. I use the body wash/foam bath a few nights a week (and now the dream bath) and I need to get the scrub (even though I hate the Aromatherapy scrubs) and several bottles of pillow mist. Also they're getting rid of both my Wexler moisturizers as well as my foot cream. Yeah, they are bringing back five of my favourite old fragrances, but still...

I wish I had rushed last year as a freshman! Now I'm going to have a harder time because of the harder classes and stuff. I'm rushing 2 Asian sororities. I hope I get into one of them. =) I'll still pop in now and then, but whew, trying to cut this site out will be HARD once September comes!

 

[clslvr6spd]

Eeek! it's been forever!!!! I have a few pages to read through.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[coachkitten]

Allison I've missed you! How are you feeling these days!?!

That's one thing that I am going to be sad not to have the opportunity to do, because I won't be going to college for awhile...I always wanted to rush a sorority. By the time I actually get to college, I will be too old since I'll definitely be in my mid-20's. I am hoping though to get off my butt and actually start taking some online courses next spring and then transfer.
