So glad everyone has been doing better.

Just been catching up on all the comments with a cup of tea. You all seem much more lifted now - which is lovely to see! I'd comment individually but there are too many, lol.

Things are so-so for me at the moment. I went to the gym Mon, Tues & Weds. Been exhausted since so I've taken a couple days off - may go over the weekend, but if I don't I'll start back up again on Monday.

Susanne, I know what you mean about the cold! One brother has tonsilitis, the other has strept throat and one of my friends definitely has a cold. Seems like it's inevitable - it is that time of year. I hope you're feeling better soon though.

Subway is SO good. I always have the same thing as I'm a very picky eater. Italian bread, chicken breast & cheese toasted with mayo, cucumber and lettuce. Delicious. Or at least, I thought so. I had it last week and it really wasn't very good.

I'm getting into having baguettes now. Same thing though! Chicken, cheese, cucumber, lettuce & mayo. Haha.

I know what you mean about calorie counting - I've had SUCH a hard time trying to behave. Been having the weight watchers desserts so I can still fix my sweet tooth without eating 500 calories a time. One of their mini brownies is only 29 calories! and it's amaaaaazing! Mmm.

I've just finished reading "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks. It's very good. The last few pages I couldn't read fast enough - had to find out the ending!

I downloaded most of Nicholas Sparks novels and Danielle Steel - I just don't know where to start now! Unfortunately a lot of NS novels have been turned into movies which I've seen, so I kinda already know how they turn out. Hopefully I'll still give the book a chance - books are usually so much better than movies! The problem with downloading them though is it's not the same as HOLDING the book. Haha.

Also - returned my MAC foundation and concealer as they were the wrong shade (I'm not even going to attempt to guess.) I exchanged for Expensive Pink eye shadow and Shadowy Lady eye shadow. Apparently the dark purple in the PP quad from FF is a slightly darker version of Plum Dressing - so I'll just use it lightly to conduct the look I'm thinking off!

I was thoroughly disappointed though - I also asked to get Twig lipstick in my exchange - the lady apologised by e-mailing me back to tell me it has been discontinued and that she has spoken to the online team to have it removed from the website. So upset - it looked so pretty on Karla Sugar's swatches! I chose Brave instead, it looked relatively similar in the swatches - hopefully it works out to be pretty and ISN'T discontinued! Haha.

I should probably stop typing now.. this is an insanely long post. Sorry!

Have a great evening and a relaxing Sunday!

Same to all other Bimbos too!

I had a haircut today. Got my hair short again at shoulder length. It was about 5cm past my shoulder, not very long, but I dislike managing long hair. I prefer to spend time on my face, putting on makeup.

My friend has sent the makeup she bought from Taiwan by airmail back to her house. The parcel reached her house before she returned from Taiwan.

Can't wait to get my makeup, hopefully it will be Monday.

 

[Susanne]

I really enjoy my free Saturday

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Great!

I saw the UD Naked palette today. The colours are very pretty, but I have decided to pass it because many of the shades are already dupable in my collection. The velvet outer packaging is also a dirt magnet.

 

[kittykit]

I really want to get UD Naked palette for my sister's birthday. Those are the colours she'll love. I'm hoping it will be available on HQhair.

My Saturday's been quiet. Hubby isn't feeling well so we stay at home today.

Hey dolls! im back after a big break!

alot has gone on since i was last year, i have a new bf who is lovely, and im nearly finished my degree yay! only a few more months and i will be a qualified radiographer!

but part of my training is in a city that has no MAC store, so am having serious withdrawls.

when i was in christchurch a few weeks ago, fabulous felines was due to be released on the following monday, when i was there on the friday, and the manager let me get some things early (yay!), only to be followed up at 4.25am by a huge earthquake (7.1).

it was unbelievable driving through the city, it is the largest city in the south island of new zealand, and was so scary to be in it! was like walking in a rocking boat

hope you ladies are all well! xoxo

Yes, and the palette is quite expensive here too. The colours are very pretty though, you must be enjoying yours!

Hi Sally!

Glad to have you back here! You must be excited to start your work.

Didn't know NZ has earthquakes. Are they frequent? I hope you and your family are all right.

Are there any risk of radiology as a radiographer? i'm curious as I'm working in the healthcare industry. I'm not a medical staff, so I am curious with regards to the risk of admin workers at the environment.

 

[LMD84]

yes i love the naked palette very much

i have been looking at the LV speedy again! i thought the 30 would be big enough but now i am thinking 35. i cant afford one right now however Christmas will be when i splurge. i just wish i could see one in person

 

[Miss QQ]

There is no LV store near your place? I have access to two LV stores in town, which are a half hour train ride away. There, I have access to MAC, Sephora... I only entered LV once.

Saw my colleague's Speedy in person though, not at the store. The bag is actually deeper than it looks to me. Christmas will be here soon and you can get your dream bag!

yup sadly my city has no good designer shops really! i have no LV, no mac, no space nk.... nothing exciting at all. just bog standard uk high street shops.

so when i will be spending quite alot of money i'd like to make sure i will be buying the right thing! although i believ the lv site will let you swap bags if it isn't right.

 

[Miss QQ]

I hope you get to see it in person before buying. If not, luckily the website allows you to swap. Personally, I have to see anything I buy in person first, especially when it is expensive! But I've asked my friend to buy me Nars and Jill Stuart without ever seeing both makeup lines in real before!

we are happy its great, but are doing the long distance thing just until ive finished my qualification

some of my friends have to have their house bull dozed, but it was a miracle that no one was killed, as it was the same magnitude of the haiti earthquake (or had the same power or something)

yea, NZ has frequent earthquake, we are very used to them, it is pretty much one big fault line, but hadnt been through a big one like that before!

and their are risks because of the radiation, but as long as you are careful with wearing lead shielding etc, and we wear badges that monitor the levels we are recieving, so its not too bad, just being smart about it. i love love love the job though, i love the patient contact, even if a few patients are icky.



aaaaah LV! dont even want to dip my toes into that! it is so so expensive in NZ, my MAC habit is enough for me.

hope everyone had a good day!

 

[LMD84]

and another working week begins! i hope everybody is going to have a good week- working or otherwise!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Thanks. Same to you!

I couldn't sleep last night though, so I went to work with a headache. It is becoming a norm that I can't sleep on Sunday nights. I guess I'm thinking about the week and get a little overwhelm.

When I was studying, I had a lab session that lasted all day every Monday and I was so stressed that I couldn't sleep every Sunday night. I feel a bit silly, losing sleep for minor problems, but that's how I am.

Yes, better not get addicted to LV!

That must be scary, having gone through a powerful quake. Sorry that your friends houses are gone, it must be shocking and painful.

Thanks for the info about the leading shield and badges.

I wonder if admin staff needs to wear these in my country. Yes, as a radiographer you get really close contact with patients. I've done a ultrasound scan and CT scan before.

I'm so happy that I've received my Nars and Jill Stuart makeup! I will take pics but probably only in the weekend as it is dark by the time I knock off from work. My Nars goodies include:
Turkish Delight - I'm pleasantly surprised that it's a happy, peachy pink. It looks beige online.
Elsa - eye shadow duo
Sex Machine - matte velvet lip pencil
and Deep Throat blush!

The JS goodies are beautiful too, but maybe we are less familiar with them. Will post pics and introduce them to you ladies.

My city has everything but Coach! I have never stepped into the LV boutique here. All the luxury goods in this country are so highly taxed. It's always cheaper to get them from UK or Germany.

I didn't really like Vernis before until I saw my sister's. I guess my next one will be an Epi. When hubby found out how much I paid for my Neverfull, he was like 'WHAT? For a bag?!' But I shut him up because it's still cheaper than his motorbike jacket

I think big boys' toys are usually more expensive than our handbags obsession!

I hope you feel better. Enjoy your haul

I saw JS makeup in HK but I didn't buy anything.

 

[Miss QQ]

Thanks, I'm feeling all right, but I will get more tired as the week goes on, until weekend when I don't have to get up early.

Lucky you! I have never seen JS makeup until now.

I like LV vernis and that's because I have a soft spot of patent leather. I like the look of patent leather, although I don't necessarily like the look on myself. Besides, patent leather are even pricier!
