Bought the blush balls yesterday. I agree the cardboard packaging sucks. Put a lovely light pink blush. The SA tried to get me to purchase the brush. I nicely informed her, With the exception of 2, I have Mr. Ford's family of brushes. Along with a boatload of McEvoys, and the entire set of Aucoin brushes, and most of Chanel....

What do you thin of Kevyn Aucoin's brushes? Are there any must haves? I only have the fan brush.

Not with the money. If you already own a Ford, Chanel, McEvoy and Aucoin, toss in a few Artis and you are well covered literally....

I own the entire set of Aucoin, yes, I am insane. The big a$$ domed brush is the bomb for blending contour and blush. The three round tip eyeshadow brushes are really good. The blending eyeshadow brush is the best I have ever used. His lip brush sucks, they break. His buffing, fan, huge fluffy brush, blush brush better ones out there. His contour brush is great for powder contours. His concealer/blending brush with the dome good, but I rarely use it. I do like his little fluffy brush that is slightly bigger then his eyeshadow blending brush. Great for loose powder and doing the T zone.

Good move on passing on the brush, Ash. It's real crap!

My brain is fried, Daddy went into Afib last night, on my way to work right now, should be getting home when the rest of you will getting up. Tomorrow I will take pics and get the actual wording and/or numbers off the Aucoin brushes. I screwed it up in my earlier post. As for Artis brushes, if you go the actual Artis site and purchase the white handle ones, it is cheaper. Same brush head, just not as fancy handle as BG and NM offer. Yes you can the holder, cleaner from all the sites. The white handle 10 oval is 72.00 vs. 90.00 for the fancy handle from NM and BG. I own the white handle and have no issues. It is also free ship if you spend over 75.00 on the Artis site and no tax at least in IL

Oh Monsy!!! I hope you're doing better. That's pretty scary

I went to the store yesterday to get a "real" Terracotta bronzer (in addition to the joli teint one I have). Well, at 2 different stores they told me I only need the Joli Teint one, since all the others are "way too dark/ orange" for me. I know I am pale, but I'm not THAT Casper-like. So no Terracotta for me :-(

The medical team want him to go to cardio rehab at the actual hospital based on if he goes into Afib or whatever, he is where they can handle ASAP vs Joe's Gym. His heart rate never came down after exercising, but they close at 6, and they shoved him out of the door and sent him home. Aren't hospitals open 24/7? They didn't have someplace for him to rest??? When he got home his rate was 180, then dropped to 77, then zoomed back up to 108. All within a minute, literally. So he ended up at the cardiologist's office, and the cardio rehab attempted to cover their butt, as in oh that didn't happen. Mama made some calls and kicked a$$. Since the tapes from when he was there showed he had Afib. Now is the Afib an electrical issue or the heart still being pissed off from the surgery? He was fine last night after rehab. You actually didn't think he would not go and exercise??? As I am writing he is out walking 2 miles. Yes, we have serious cardiac hills in this part of the village. Of course he goes to there, why would he walk on flat land???? And of course he worked yesterday and going today.

When you have open heart surgery Afib is normal. The heart is pissed that its little sleeping bag made by God has been cut open to get to the heart. For others, it could stem from the electrical wires getting shorted. Need to figure out the cause and go from there.

I know a lot about OHS my son had 4 of them . I hope your dad is doing better!

I hope he tries to take it easy nonetheless. The heart is a scary thing.

Money saved non? But if you really want a terracotta bronzer, go with the terracotta light sheer bronzing powder i have brunette 2, (discountinuded) and i'm nc25 mac and 02 guerlain parure foundation and this bronzer si pretty light si i'm sure blonde 02 should be ok for your complexion

 

[Monsy]

Light sheer bronzing in brunette is not discontinued. They still have it together with blonde

whoever told you that they have no idea what they are doing. guerlain does have bronzers for lighter skin . PERIOD. I am pale nc15 and have 4 of their bronzers + 1 jolie teint

AFib can be conduction/electrical related but it's more complex than that---there may be many causative factors involved. I understand Dad wanting to keep things
moving, but maybe someone should be with him during his exercise jaunts----especially if he's walking on some remote trail. Hoping for the best Ash!!!!!
