Hi Debi! Great pic! I love the colours! I went to Sephora to try Viva La Juicy and Gucci by Gucci. They didn't have any samples to spare, so I sprayed VLJ on paper and Gucci on my wrists. I ended up really liking Gucci! It is warm and nice, and isn't too strong. Some fragrances I tried that are too strong give me headaches and make me want to wash my wrists with lots of soap and water. lol. I will give VLJ a try on my wrists, and maybe Gucci again before deciding if I really want it. I have a vial of Guilty by Gucci but I don't like it.

Lou, congrats on the weight loss!

Keep up the good work and you can enjoy pizza soon! Love the bright makeup! Glittery pink gloss will chase away any blues!

Good morning, Susanne. Have a good day!

Today, I had sushi with my friend for lunch and then we shopped around. Lunch was very good, I will go back to the restaurant again. We had to queue for half an hour but it was worth it! My friend will be going to California to work for 1.5 years so I'm going to miss her.

I lost about 2kg recently due to stress. Not good at all! I look quite pale and even makeup doesn't make me look as good. I'm counting down to this Friday - my last day! And I'm a free woman!

oh sushi is so yummy!! if it was that good the wait is totally worth it! that is a shame that your friend is going away for so long though sorry about that - perhaps you can visit her at some point? going to california would be amazing! and that is not good that you have lost so much eight due to stress at all. i'm pleased you only have one week left in that place the stress was obviously effecting you in a big way. maybe you can have some pizza for me to help you put on the weight?! lol!

well i wanted to buy a perfume so bad today!! however what i smelled i wasn't particularly liking. then i was looking for the peace, love and juicy couture because the description sounds awesome! however no stores had any! so annoying! i shall have to wait until me and nick go shopping in a bigger city to get hold of it. i dont want to order it online in case i dont actually like it!

what nick did buy me though was awesome! he got me another tub for my lipsticks and also a couple of small tubs for my msf's and beauty powders! this has saved so much space in my cabinet! i posted a picture on twitter of them. so i am over the moon at my gift! we also got dylan a new collar! it is a shiney metallic blue with blue crystals! the blue matches his eyes and makes him look so cute! it's a girl collar i think but whatever!

Lou~I used to be painfully thin and only weighed 82 pounds when I graduated from college. When I was 15 I got really ill from stress (not an eating disorder) that affected my stomach. Things finally calmed down during college and during my 20's when my metabolism slowed down and I got to a healthy weight. The past 5 years I have really put on weight. I need to lose a good 35 in all. Since New Years I have lost 3! Slow, but steady!

I love your new tubs for storage! I have been really focusing on this and hitting various stationary shops for storage options and looking at a lot of pictures. I tried the Sephora look for my brushes, but it wasn't me, so pulled out some of my favourite mugs that match colours in our bedroom and they look fabulous in them. I have a few things coming in the mail for more organization, but mostly need space to put this stuff!! I am having such fun!

Susanne~Thank you! It is fun to play around with the options, which I have never bothered to try before!!

Miss QQ~I am glad you are finding some possible scents to add to your perfume collection. I am like you...I need to try it on my skin and wear it a bit before buying unless it is a quick "Oh yeah!" reaction, like LaVanila was for me! This is a fun time of the year to buy new scents, I think, probably because of the New Year and approaching spring!

In a few days I will be officially initiated into full Bimbo-ness. I ordered my first few Dazzleglasses. Let the glittering begin!!

 

[Miss QQ]

Which dazzleglass did you buy? I love Baby Sparks and it was my first dazzleglass!

Saw the tubs at twitter! They are great! I need to hunt down where I can buy them. Congrats on the new collar, Dylan will be proud wearing it! Sorry I had a typo, my friend is going to San Franciso. I doubt I can visit her, but facebook and emails will keep us in touch for the time being. I smelt peace, love and juicy couture before and I can't remember how it is like. I need to compare it to Viva La Juicy next time I'm at Sephora. Hope you get to smell it soon. Thanks, I love pizza! Hopefully I can have one soon.

I may set up my twitter too, and when I do that, I will follow yours.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Which dazzleglass did you buy? I love Baby Sparks and it was my first dazzleglass!

I ended up ordering:

Money, Honey
Steppin' Out
Baby Sparks
Bare Necessity
Internationalist
Like Venus

I can't wait!!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Aweseomeee, Debi! I'm living vicariously through you right now because I'm on a no-buy (or a no-buy until I see something I can't live without)... But then MAC sends me that email about free shipping & a free sample (code: PREP) and now I'm wanting to do a little eyeshadow/new foundation haul.

BE STRONG, JEN, BE STRONG.

 

[JennsJewelz]

Hi ladies! I've been lurking quite a bit lately - I might as well come out of hiding!

Debi, Dazzleglasses are my faaavourites! I love Bare Necessity and Baby Sparks - I think I've been through 3 Bare Necessity s (Necessities? lol) already!

Lou, congrats on the weight loss!! I've been working hard at it too weight-training 3x a week and eating healthily, but I've been sick so I've missed a couple of weeks... gotta jump back up on the bandwagon and start including some cardio in there, too! And your kitty sounds super cute

Jen... STAY STRONG! MAC allllways has free shipping promos, and you probably already own Prep + Prime If you don't, I really love it, but you can definitely live with your other primers until they're all gone, and there are lots of other awesome primers out there How long is your no-buy supposed to last? I'm on a MAC no-buy until February, and I'm trying to only pick up what I really need once a month

Hope everyone's enjoying a lovely weekend!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Jen~lol.I saw that promo too, but had already passed the free shipping amount anyhow! Yikes! My Sephora order was 10% off since I reached VIB, so that helps a bit. Mostly I just keep using my new stuff so I know none of this is just going to sit around and that is important to me as I am not a makeup artist and want to keep my collection a little bit under control. Then again, I bought the pink traincase for spillover and emergency packing. I realized that we are having some work on the house done this summer, so what isn't in drawers may get packed a way for a week or two.

JennsJewelz~I am so glad you came out of lurk mode! And it is great to hear such rave reviews on Dazzleglass. I can't wait to try one on!

One of my online friends for a few years now just informed me she wants to come visit me in April. For the past year she hasn't written much and I am enjoying the drama free life I have had with her absence. She likes to believe the world circles around her. And she just informed me she has no interest in makeup, whatsoever, but that is where I am at right now and loving it. I really don't feel like meeting her...I don't feel like we have connected much lately and know who she is. Luckily I have some honest excuses to prevent a meetup. I sound horrible, but if it were 3 years ago I would have jumped at the chance. Now I just feel we drifted away and have nothing in common.

I need to keep you around to keep repeating this to me My no-buy should last all year the way I've been spending money lately but... I'm just trying to hold out on stuff I don't really need. It's a flexible no-buy haha but I'm doing fairly well with it.

Hope you're having a good weekend too! Mine has been very relaxing. I've accomplished nothing.

those are the best kind of weekends! lol!

Lou~I completely agree! I would never want to be that thin, or even as thin as I was when I got married. I am only 5.3 but even at 120 I looked way too thin. No boobs, not even needing a bra, no curves, bony wrists. I remember when I started gaining weight and was actually willing to wear shorts because I finally had some thighs! I do need to lose weight, but it will come off with getting back to walking. I have a treadmill, but this time of the year it is too cold in the cellar, so come spring I will get back into my regular walking routine, which I love. Most importantly is what is inside a person. Far too many people judge others by their weight. Far too many people are killing themselves by starving and it breaks my heart to see what society has become. A fear of weight, a fear of aging, a fear of all the things that comes naturally with life.

On a much lighter note, I am so excited! I have figured out a place for my makeup carousel and more storage for makeup in the bedroom. I still don't have a place to sit down and put it on....maybe someday, but now I don't have to move it out of the bathroom every time we take a shower! I bought a cute handled mini basket/caddy and will line and decorate it and use it to carry stuff into the bathroom when needed. Everything is starting to come together, with an occasional bump in the road! But after viewing a lot of the pics in Traincase section I see changing around our makeup collections is an ongoing process, as it adding to the collections!

I should look into a Twitter account. That would be so much fun!

lol! tell me about it! i cant buy any make up until peacocky comes out in about 1.5 weeks time!

I forgot that you guys haven't gotten it yet! Hope you love it as much as I do. Dalliance has become one of my all time favorite shadows.

I love following you guys on Twitter too... You guys need to get one!

 

[JennsJewelz]

GAAAAH I just wrote a huge response and before I could submit my Firefox crashed - I HATE COMPUTEEEEERS!!!! lol..... aaaaanyways... let's try this again!

I can't quote at the moment, but that's OK! Thanks for the welcome, Lou We can't definitely support each other!

I'm not looking so much at losing weight (although I definitely need to!) - I'm trying to focus on getting healthier and stronger, and I've probably lost about 20lbs in the past 6 months! Slow and steady wins the race I'm hoping for another 20-30 over the next year or so, but I'm really not counting. I don't even own a scale. I'm counting by how many push-ups I can do! (Where's the Arnold emoticon when you need him?!

)

Debi, I totally agree that there is wayyy too much pressure on being thin! Beauty is what's on the inside - we play with makeup to help that shine though! Healthy does equate with skinny. I'm sorry to hear about all the suffering you went through!

But I'm happy you're loving all of your new makeup and you're finding a system that works for you! I still have to transfer my stuff back and forth, as well - I'm hoping that one day I'll have my own little makeup boudoir in my home! Maybe I'll convert a closet

Jen, I'm here for you! You're going to have to keep me in line me as well - I can talk the talk, but walking the walk is a whoooole other ballpark!

I accomplished a tonne of cleaning but very little schoolwork this weekend, so I'm trying to power through my readings now... Specktra is helping me with my breaks

 

[ElvenEyes]

If I get knocked off of Firefox one more time today I am going to scream! Time to play with more organizing tactics. If I come up with something in the middle of the night, hubby will be woken to the sound of lipsticks smacking each other and palettes being moved about!

 

[nunu]

Welcome to the clumb new bimbos

Hope you guys had a great weekend.

I love this, flexible no-buy. So now that's what I will call my plan. I am trying not to jump at all the new things because I have so much makeup it's not even funny.

But I so so regret not getting at least Oomph e/s from the MM collection and the purple looked so pretty also. By the time I thought about it they were sold out. I didn't call any of the stores that got it because I hate paying $7 shipping for just an e/s or two.

 

[shadowaddict]

All your talk about your Clarisonic reminds me of how lazy I've been about using mine. I do love it and it really helps my oily skin to behave beter.

I wanted one for such a long time that I decided that I would get one last year when Sephora did their FF sale. At $200 that 20% made a big difference.

 

[Miss QQ]

Hi Nora!

Hi JennsJewel!

Debi, congrats on getting new storage system. Show us a picture if you can when it is done. I bought two grey Helmers late last year and have started using them, but they are not well organized yet. I have some time in February so hopefully I can get them neat and tidy for pics! Yesterday, I got a vial of the new Kenzo perfume, L’Eau de Kenzo Amour, and also a paper strip sprayed with it. I didn't smell it until this morning, I found it in my bag and it smells very nice. Reminds me of Chanel Chance, which I love but unfortunately turns sour on me. I'm going to try it on my wrists tomorrow.

I agree with you that too many people judge others by their weight. I'm very skinny, and people are always commenting about my weight. I can't put on weight after I removed my gall bladder and when I get stressed, I lose more weight. But I learn to ignore some people who are just busybodies / gossipers who comment on my weight, and to those that are genuinely showing care I thank them.

 

[LMD84]

yeah it is crazy how people judge others on their weight. nick is extremely thin and people accuse him of having an eating disorder! he eats more than i do and certaintly doesn't throw it up afterwards. he tries not to let peoples comments and jokes get to him. it didn't help that he had the flu for about 2 weeks and lost about 7lbs. i think he is slowly putting it back on though.

have a great week guys! i'm back at work. half doing paperwork and half on specktra! i'm naughty!

 

[Sojourner]

Wow, this thread is a revelation, I've never noticed it before!

I confess, I am NOT a bimbo (not feeling glitter I'm afraid)...

...However, I do like to watch!!!
