HG!!! OMG!!!! What a GREAT story!!!! But I am not surprised, hottie that you are!!! That was such a cool story! YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!

I ordered Joyeuse.

Shameless enablers!!!

I also stopped by Sephora again tonight - man, that place is crazy-land ALL the time! Got the Hourglass foundation - wow, what a great texture, and the mascara, which I hope is the right one...I have to go back to Karin's post to find out!! Of course they had 2 different mascaras, so I just picked and hoped for the best!

Have a great evening all! Off to pack!

Well I certainly can't wait for the next chapter HG!

Seriously! What a romantic story!

My life's so boring, lol!

 

[JennsJewelz]

HG, that story was amazing!!!!! What intrigue! You should be a novelist on the side lol - very Romancing the Stone! That was so worth waiting in suspense all day for lol

and Elegant, I agree - they all look gorgeous!!

C!., lol.. I was going to write to tell you about it.. I thought it was a riot.

I grilled my niece about the flowers and she kept insisting she hadn't done it.. and I believed her cause she is only to use the CC for school or emergencies, unless I authorize it and she is very good about it... so I was shocked to find out it was this gentleman (err.. don't know if he is a gentleman but he appeared to be). Well, I will see.. I cannot mentally compare anyone to my late hubby.. he was one in a billion

the colour of my lipstick was Rouge Fatale.. lol.. so that's the colour of the roses.

stv.. lol.. there is nothing interesting about my life now except that I deal with a lot of dodos sometimes.. and other times, a lot of very interesting and avantgarde people

C! .. the Hourglass foundation is excellent, as well as the cream blushers.. you would not believe the texture of the skin when you wear them together.. also the Macara you got was probably the Film Noir Mascara.. and it is excellent.. enjoy!

oh, and I did order the Joyeuse.. thanks to Elegant !

I am a shameless hussy.. I admit it. I admit it.. I admit it..

C!.. you can see some of the Hourgl*** stuff at their website... www.hourglasscosmetics.com


I am also checking ByTerry prods.. made in France ! will report back as I am getting some samples sent to me!

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

^^ Oooh!! I have had my eye on ByTerry's Touche Veloutee concealer/highlighter pen and the Rose de Rose liquid blush for ages, but they're just so pricey and hard to find here in the US (unless I want to pay for SpaceNK's online shipping fees). Please let us know how you like the samples!!! I am so curious.

 

[User38]

Honey.. it is a wonderful line.. I will report as soon as I get some samples in..

 

[Bonitinha]

HG -- love your story! That man sounds quite dashing (I love it when they use that word in Jane Austin novels lol). Keep us posted!!

Elegant -- I love Adriana Lima -- dang it, why don't I look like her when I use the VS glosses?? What other VS glosses do you love?? Like I need more haha

Cheryl -- I agree about Sephora. Mine is packed (mostly with tweens and teens) and is crazy!! One time we were in NY and we went to a Sephora after dinner. My hubs was in a suit and some lady mistook him for someone that worked there.

Only funny because my husband is such a sports guy -- utterly clueless about makeup!

 

[User38]

Bonitinha.. lol.. dashing he is.. but so far away -- he may as well be carved in stone.. lol.. not that "I really care, I am going to spend lots of time in Italy where the men are gorgeous and the wine is cheap

 

[User38]

unless you get hit on by the Mario Bros

 

[Shypo]

^^^ LOL!!! International romance!!! I also cannot wait for Chapter 2!

I got the other mascara - drat! I almost got the Film Noir, but decided on the other - boo. I'll have to maybe order the other one and return this one.

By T* has some interesting things - definitely high-end - quite pricey as Honey said.....

I will eventually check out the blushes.......

Elegant, I never say never!

 

[User38]

no int romance yet.. but will keep you all posted.. lol -- my advisors !!

I prefer the Film Noir mascara, but the other one might suit you more.. depends on your personal preferences.

You never say no? C!

 

[katred]

HerGreynes, that is the best story ever! And FYI, Argentinian wine is tasty and highly underrated. Sounds like a real catch!

 

[Camnagem]

HG - What an awesome story!

It's romantic and kinda scandalous (does he have a wife? a girlfriend? a sexy winery?)...which are the 2 main points for any great romance novel imo!

Ok you guys...I MUST HAVE THIS Arm*** EYE THING! I only see something called "Day Proof Eye Pencil" on NM's site, is this the one?!?! Help!

My 2nd order for Boy was kicked back too, lame! I'll just wait for the next release and get it then and live through you ladies in the meantime. It's probably better this way anyway. I'm planning on a pretty large Sephora order in the next few days, I'm placing an order tomorrow for a new COACH bag, and I'm needing that Arm*** eye thing ASAP...another lipstick can wait a bit, lol.

 

[Shypo]

I have both the black and brown Arm* pencils coming - I ordered them about a week and a half ago - guess they're coming from California on the slow boat......I should have them today when I get back home.

I'm going to return the Hglass mascara I bought and order the other one - I need to start writing stuff down so I have it with me - I usually do, but didn't in this case - it was an impulse stop on my way back to the hotel from the office...... *sigh*..........

Oh Meg, an new Coach bag, eh? Sounds marvelous!!!

Yes - that is the right pencil! NM named it a bit different & left off the first part of the same description on the armani site. I spent a bit of time searching that out myself.

Yay on the new coach bag. dh bought me these awesome Coach black suede wedge heel high boots this winter - love them.

 

[elegant-one]

unless you get hit on by the Mario Bros

that made me chuckle!

HG & C & mrslid - I hope you guys love Joyeuse or I'll feel so bad

I always love the colors in the Asia exclusive collections. You should be able to order from any collection on Chanels site.

Michelle - I have I think almost all of the VS glosses in the square tube

I bought them when I had the $10 off a makeup purchase - which made them insanely cheap! ALL the vs colors are gorgeous on. I've not seen one that isn't.
And yeah, if I could have plastic surgery to turn me into one person - it would def. be Adriana Lima -

HG: You have us on the edge of our seats!

Bonitinha: I just googled Mythic and it is so pretty! I'm adding that to my list.

Elegant: Thanks for sharing that link. Love it!

 

[Bonitinha]

^^If you love the RA formula, you will love Mythic. Such a wearable nude shade. And it has a bit of glossiness to it, which I adore

I usually fill in my lips with a nude liner and then put Mythic on top. Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

 

[stv578]

I also fill my lips in before using Mythic, otherwise it can look a little pale on me.

Ladies, that great deal I got the other day on Chance... well, I didn't realize it until I took the cellophane off the box that I had the wrong fragrance. The sample I've been using is for Eau Tendre, not the regular Chance. I realized when I took the bottle out and the fragrance wasn't pink! Well... I can't return it now. I did use it this morning, and at first didn't like it on me, but an hour later it actually did smell quite nice. So not an entire loss. Besides, Eau Tendre doesn't last on me at all, but when I picked up the bottle on Monday, I picked up the EDP and figured it would last longer. So I may pick up Eau Tendre with my next points haul and maybe layer the two? Chance is a lot stronger, so not sure. Not even sure if Eau Tendre is available in EDP.
