I saved some giftcard and then with the 20% off the $225. I probably should have got the MIA since it is a lot cheaper. I saw on Sephora it now also comes in red, so cute. I was really good about using it but have become lazy lately. I can never remember when they do that sell and the sa at the stores never know or at least never tell ahead of time.
Also Debi-- Shontay on here posted some swatches on the UD 2011 Spring Collection thread on their shadow pencils. I they are new, not for sure. I got one in Narc, of course a gree and it is amazing. I have not used it alone but under Ego from Peacocky it made that color pop. She had a swatch of Delinquent and it is a gorgegous dark purple with sparkles. I want to get Clinic also which is a brighter emerald green. I tried these at Sephora and after you let them set for sec they honestly do not budge. I use Sephora brand Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. It gets any kind of eye makeup off quickly and it is only $9.50 and last me forever. I have oily skin so I hate the one that give you the greasy yucky feel. I thought I would throw that in here in case anyone is looking for a great eye mu remover.
And congrats on your selling. I get attached to things and I probably don't have a lot to sell that would get very much considering the fee to sell and all, at least on eBay. My dolls might would do well but I love them and not ready for us to part ways.
MissQQ-thanks for the review on the MUFE concealer. I am always on th lookout for one that does not crease. At 48 I want to cover those dark circles and little lines as much as possible.
Thank you, ShadowAddict. I did have surgery 4 1/2 years ago (D&C and Endometrial ablation) but my cramps are not uterine cramps, they are ovarian and that is endometriosis. Lucky me! He did give me the okay for a full hysterectomy but also supports if I just want to tough it out for the next few years since nature will take care of it on its own when I stop making estrogen. I think my ovaries are wearing out. lol Yay! But a hysterectomy can get botched and cause a lot of health problems, would take a long time to heal and you go into surgical menopause which is harsh and means mega hot flashes, etc. If you do it naturally you just ease through it. My mother, sister and grandmother were done with their cycles in their 49th and 50th year. I just turned 48 in November, so I plan to wait it out unless something odd comes up. I do take Motrin and extra strength Tylenol and use my heating pad. I also have pills for nausea just in case. Mostly I grit my teeth, read a book, watch a movie, plot makeup buying! Hehehe....
For eye MU remover I use Clinique's Take the Day Off. It is super gentle and I have dry skin so the moisture in it is good for me. It never stings or makes me break out and I really like their skin products. Costly, but a staple in my collection!
My Sephora has arrived. Yay! Bobbi Brown e/s in very mellow, everyday colours. Nice texture and I can't wait to try them. I do wish she had some wilder colours but I know that is not what she is famous for, so will save that for MAC and NARS. Bronzers, too, and my shimmer brick. Lots of fun products to try out. I am really getting spring and summer fever and I usually don't like summer!! I guess this year I will be ready for it!
Excuse me while I rip my ovaries out. Hehehe....
Now I know I can ask you ladies to recommend good books!
