hey darls! just thought i would poke back in here again! interesting conversations in here about kids - definitely something to do later (ie 10 years) - i am only 22!!

yusss only a week until i move to the south island again for my new job - i am looking forwards to starting my new job, am starting to loose passion a little bit

how are we all?

shadowaddict~I use and love Estee Lauder Lucidity foundation in Pale Ivory. It is my absolute favourite and matches my skin perfectly. Their Lucidity pressed powder is nice, too. But you are right. The saleswomen are almost always rude or impatient, as though asking them for help or to be rung up is invading their privacy! Hello! That is what you are being paid for. I thought people who worked at cosmetic counters might actually be into cosmetics. Guess not!

I hauled again. Good grief. I am going to need a makeup room at this point. MAC was awesome. They had a few Pink Cult blushes. I love the, so I bought two! Yay! No more stalking the MAC site waiting and waiting. And picked up a few more goodies. Then to Sephora to round off the order that came today. Sheesh. Then the funny part. I decided to buck up and go buy those dreaded bras I needed. So I went to Victoria Secret. They are supposed to be great at sizing and helping right? Ha! An overweight woman + Victoria Secret bras is a NO GO! So, I bought some lippies, some gloss, some scent, and booked it over to Sears where I found some comfy cotton bras by Bali for the chubby woman syndrome. And I held my breath while we walked past Dunkin Donuts...with the yummy food and coffee and just thought of my goodies and how I chubby I am in dressing room mirrors...especially after a long cold winter of doing nothing! Big wakeup call.

Time to run 50 miles in the 20 degree weather before bed....and a snack.

lol! yeah victorias secret bras and me don't mix either!! luckily there are loads of nice bra shops in the uk that cater for all sizes! i still feel that bras are far too pricey for what they are though! although when i have bought cheaper ones they don't seem to last long. did i tell you about when my bra actually broke at work about a year ago?! i had to tell my assistant manager i was leaving the store to run an errand! i was so embarrassed! in fact something always breaks for me at work! i have split my trousers so many times too! and no it's not because my ass was too big! just because they were old i guess! and yay for finally getting your pink cult!

hey Sally! yeah 22 is still young to be thinking about kids! although people do seem to have them younger now! it's like extremely here in the uk. you get young mums and then more older mums

today i shall try and make sure i am distracted so i wont be thinking about what is going on at work. i shall call them mid morning to see how things are going though. i shall start cleaning when nick leaves for work and then i have a couple of tv shows stored up to watch. desperate housewives, pretty little liars and the biggest loser. have a great day ladies!

 

[ElvenEyes]

shadowaddict~ Yes! When I go into MAC I am always greeted with a big smile, or the remember me as the lady who loves pink, and they introduce themselves and help me. I never feel out of sorts. Estee Lauder and many of the department store women are older than me and just seem so put out that I am asking for a product. I remember even 10 years ago when you would go in and wait long lines to get rung up or have your face done. Now no one is around and one lady at a register runs all the makeup departments in Nordstrom. It is so cold. Last night Sephora was a riot. Everyone in there was older than me, so I had fun watching what they were buying. Smashbox and MUFE seemed to be the big hits. I think more women are doing what I am doing. Leaving behind our old makup and trying out new looks, new lines, etc. As for VS bras, they just scare me. lol They look like they belong on mannequins and most are super padded. I have enough padding, thank you very much!

Sally~No need to rush. I know very few people having children in their 20's now. Most are waiting until they are financially sound and ready to give 100% to their children, which usually means in their 30's. You will know in your heart when the right time is. Enjoy your move and new location!

Lou~Yes! As long as a bra does its job, I don't care where it comes from, but they do cost a fortune. I bought 8 of them. That should take care of me for a long while! At least I got to discover some of VS makeup in the process and will definitely be going back or ordering a few items online that they were out of. They actually have some nice colours and products, including inexpensive perfume, splashes, etc. to play with. I will need to make a huge list for another haul, much further in the future. I think I have done good damage and need to sell more decks before another plunge like yesterday!

Sold one deck for 50 and another pending for 150.00 and waiting for 100.00 in the mail to send a box out. Others no one is biting so I need to put up something else tempting. See...we are getting into the more expensive, exclusive decks which has everyone browsing but not buying. I need to put up a grouping of less pricey ones and scurry through the threads to see what people are talking about or looking for. It is a fine art, this selling of tarot decks!

Oh, and I am psyched about my Pink Cult blushes and my Illamasque ones. And I love cream blushes by HD and BB, though HD has nicer colours. I'm having such fun! Dreading the rain that comes tonight and tomorrow. Ground is very frozen so we have some flooding coming our way. Ugh!

lou - don't stress yourself! We will cheer on you, and down with the slimey guy!

lol Foul things rarely come out of my mouth, but put it with being tired and some cramps that aren't supposed to be here yet, I am swearing like a sailor! It is still down, crashed, hacked, a mess. I am so freaking angry. One lady is expecting 200.00 worth of tarot. I am waiting for 100.00 money order. I have three more sets adding up to 350.00. And so much more to go. I have no time for that forum to crash on me, just when someone was showing interest on some rare decks. Ugh!
Lou~I think we are related. I have major problems with anxiety that go right to the stomach. I even have to take tummy meds for it and have been in and out of the hospital since I was 15 having tests to be sure I don't have cancer or ulcers or anything weird going on. It is all stress, but it manifests itself physically to the point of being sick to my stomach, literally. The meds help keep my stomach muscles calm and not spastic. But it doesn't take much to make it act up. Take some deep breaths and do something special for yourself...have a calm evening by the tv with the hubby and the kitties and some nice hot tea.

A super fun Sephora order just arrived. I need an entire drawer on blush. I am the one who used to have just 1 blush. One. Now, including all powders, creams, etc, I have over 45 (not including highlights and shimmer bricks) and have more that I want. I've lost my mind! But I love them! Rows and rows of various pinks, roses, peach and nude colours! I can't say no to a good pink blush!!

Sorry that the website is hacked! I hope it gets sorted out soon. My stomach goes crazy when I'm stressed and just nervous. I get a lot of acid and cramps and diarhoea. I have lots of medicine but they don't help much when the attack strikes. I have to learn to control my nerves. What a big blush collection you have!

aw thanks sweetie!

he is at my store today and i haven't heard from any of my guys yet so who knows what is going on. i am at his store tomorrow and friday. i am looking forward to meeting his staff. it's always nice to place a face to the voice! i always speak to people on the phone and have never really seen them in real life!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Miss QQ~Thank you! The forum is back up and running and everything is safe, thank goodness! I think I lost a customer in the process though, unless he comes back. Some only visit on occasion but have extensive collections. And I mean 1500+ decks! A few have entire rooms devoted to it and make our MU collections look wimpy in comparison! They are also very heavy, with all that cardboard and paper, plus books that sometimes come with them. Some have husbands who have built special rooms onto their homes! I don't want to become one of them! lol

Lou~Yeah, I get the whole nipple pop thing. lol What can we say? It happens, we hate it. And there it is, so a pity it can't be socially and fashionably acceptable. It was, oddly enough, back in the Regency days (Jane Austen) and in the summer woman even wore light muslin wetted down on the breast to show off their, um, boobs! That was acceptable. Showing your ankle was not. What a twisted society we have always lived in!

Shopping at the mall is both fun and depressing to me. I love all the stores but I am sad to see how quiet it is. I remember back in the day when it was only open for a few years. For decades we were jammed pack in there, only a few places to eat before the food court came, lines out into the mall, so busy you would get frustrated and stressed waiting in lines or trying to pass someone. Now it is absolutely dead quiet. Except for Friday nights when every teenager and their 20 friends come out to hang with security way up. They are too young to drive, so it is rather sad to see that their parents just drop them off for several hours to get them off their own hands. They don't even have money to spend. They just roam and the girls play with the makeup, make a mess, then leave. Or try to lift things. The mall used to be open until 11pm or midnight during the holidays. But now it closes at 9pm. It is ridiculous. I have to go on a weekend. By the time we have supper and drive the 45 minutes to get there I have very little time to shop or browse. There I was, trying on Boob Holders (bras...hehehe) and they are telling us to hurry up, the store will close in 15 minutes. Eeeeek! Mad rush to cash register. I wasn't going to lose the opportunity to find ones that fit and were not sliding off my shoulders! I want the mall back to the way it used to be. Busy, full and exciting!

 

[rockin]

You're lucky if your mall shuts at 9pm, Elveneyes! Most shops in our shopping centre are closed by 5:30pm, apart from 'late shopping nights' when some are open until 7pm.

I never realised there were people who collected tarot cards. I have just 3 decks, and about half a dozen books to go with them, plus a pendulum, a box of medicine cards and a bag of rune stones with book. I haven't read the cards in ages, though, ever since I read them (with the help of the books) for a friend, and the reading was rather closer to truth than I had ever thought it might be. There were things she hadn't told me about which came up in the reading. I just have Pocket Rider, Golden Rider and Art Nouveau decks.

I actually won a bra recently via Twitter - it was a Valentines competition run jointly with Wonderbra and Bourjois. I won a bra and knicker set, and 5 Bourjois Effet 3D lipglosses. The bra is a 'Full Effect' one, which is padded and supposedly increases your cup size by 2 sizes. I'm already a D lol

Well, the strip malls around here close anywhere from 4:30 to 6 most weekdays and weekends and only stay open to 7 or 8 on Thursday nights. But the larger, everything is inside it, mall stays open later. I just don't quite see how the economy will bounce back when everyone works all day, go home, eat, clean up and by that time everything is closed. So we all watch tv and movies at home and do nothing. Our local bookstore keeps closing earlier and earlier and then complains no one comes in. Duh!

Hey, Rockin, I have those decks! lol And pendulums, 3 crystals balls, runes, witches runes, crystals, and a slew of oracle decks. I can't wait to cut it all down to something reasonable and workable! Just sold off another 100.00. Yay!

 

[rockin]

The only things open in our town after 7pm are the cinema, a few restaurants, nightclubs, pubs. takeaways and I think maybe the bowling alley.

I want a pub here. Not for the drinks, but for the atmosphere. And bangers and mash. And darts. And the local gossip. And a ploughman's lunch!

Pink Cult. Wearing it today. The perfect pink for pale people like me who want a soft look. Love it! Wish I had bought 10 of them! Sadly, they didn't have 10. They had 3. I bought 2. I didn't want to be greedy in case someone else was desperately looking for this colour. Bah. I should have been greedy!

 

[rockin]

I'm wearing Pink Cult today, too. You're right - it's perfect for us pale folk

While there are pubs in town, I wouldn't fancy going into any of them of an evening or night time. In town, they seem to attract the wrong type. Not that I ever get to go out anyway, being a divorced Mum of 2. I'm really looking forward to a trip to the theatre later this month - my first evening out in well over a year, while my parents look after the kids for me. I'm going to see Galit Mersand's Bellylicious show

Ah, so they are not the cute, cozy, get-together happy go lucky places they are portrayed to be in the movies?

oh some still are! don't get me wrong. i lived in a small village called wendover and pubs were lovely there

 

[ElvenEyes]

Okay, so there is the quaint village pub and then there is the town/city bar pub. Gotcha!

I can't wait to try out my Illamasque blushes. I watched a lot of reviews for them on YouTube and everything seem positive. They are so silky smooth and the colours are gorgeous. Each pink just a tone darker than the one before it. I love it when lines do that. I hope it has good staying power. A big thumbs up for MUFE HD cremeblushes and BB cream blushes. Both very natural looking, very long lasting (like 15 hours or more) and no breakouts. I haven't tried the MAC ones yet. Feeling pink!

that is good that they haven't broke you out. i have very spot prone skin and i break out so easily. sometimes it stops me from trying new face products because i get so scared i will break out! crazy right? and then what was crazier is that the only cream that actually stops me getting spots is the cheapest one i have ever used! and i have tried meds from the dr as well as drugstore stuff. and a tube of £2.50 cream does the best job! go figure!

i am feeling a little better this evening. i spoke to my guys and things went ok for them today. now i just have to make sure that i do ok at the busy store tomorrow and friday. sorry to keep going on about it guys... i just need to keep venting it all out! you don't have to read my rambles!

the kitties amused me this afternoon too. both were asleep on the bed next to me and they started to twitch! i guess they were sharing a dream!

Yep! Town centre pubs tend to attract the younger, louder element in my experience.

I don't like to walk through town on my own at night, because of the type of people that congregate there. My Dad will probably come to walk me home after the show I'm going to.

 

[LMD84]

oh blimey! that is not good! but at least your dad will meet you. the village that i live in now is very safe and i have had no issues walking late at night. the city centre is a bit dodgy though and i wouldn't want to walk in certain parts late at night!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Aww....kitty dreams! I love watching their little paws going and sometimes even a little purr or meow in their sleep. Hunt and chase dreams, no doubt! It is so cute. Of course, they probably watch us sleep and think the same thing. "Look...how cute! Human dreams!! They must be dreaming about feeding and playing with us!!" lol

Just think how happy and relieved you will be when all of this is over, Lou! Hang in there and think fun thoughts, go in with confidence, a smile and a little glitter, even if you hide it somewhere! That will be your confidence magic. A little fairy dust (no...no....not milkweed) to keep you positive!

 

[shadowaddict]

Lou--- the fake nipple thing cracked me up. That's one thing I definitely do not want. That's why I like bras to have a lining. Some of the D's & DD's are quite sheer. When I lost a good amount of weight a couple years ago I went down to a D but Back up again to DD's. The thing is that is the first place I lose weight

I also have to be careful with face prosuct because my face is oily and quite blemish prone.

If you need to rant feel free. It might help ease some stress, just let it get out of you.

Debi--that's great about selling more. A little fairy dist sounds great for all of us I think.

Do you like UD shadows? I like their e/s and liners but of course I'm a shadow junkie. I bought some singles way back and now have found that they will come out with palettes with a good amount of their perm e/s. A lot of the palettes come with a free 24/7 liner and sometimes a mini primer potion also. They have 3 new ones out, so I'm gonna show you and tempt you again hehe

I have this one and I paid regular price when it came out, now it's a great bargin. I think the packaging is cute also, called Show Pony

http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/ShowPonyShadowBox.cfm

I have the Vegan one also

http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/VeganPalette.cfm

If you click on Eyes you can see all the different ones. I also bought the black one, it's very cool. I hear the Summer of Love is good too, oh geez I just nticed they have it for $15, so may have to snag that one. The Sephora site has most of these (just saw they have Show Pony for $16 as well) but not the 3 new ones or Summer of Love. As usual I always search for coupons for every site before I order. You can usually find free shipping or a free product for UD. On their site they always have free shipping over $50.

 

[ElvenEyes]

I do love UD e/s and eyeliners. I have the Anniversary collection of the eyeliners, so pretty set on that. I have Ammo and Naked Palette. I try to keep my UD palettes to a minimum, though. I only buy something that I will wear and don't have replicas of because all makeup does expire after a while and should not be used. The last thing I want is a nasty eye infection. So, I keep my eye out for very unique ones. I have a lot of UD singles now and have been collecting the ones that are colours I will use a lot (browns, pinks and purples). My e's from NARS are unique in the sense they are highly glittered (at least the ones I bought) and my Bobbi Brown ones are very matte and everyday mellow looks. Then MAC is my go to! I also like the palettes that have blush and lippies in them for stuffing in my purse and daytrips. I buy a lot, but believe it or not, I am a picky buyer!!
