Makes no difference---he sees and pays the CC bill.

Never ever has my father paid a household bill. He claims he does it for a living, he is not going to do at home.

NM did not get the cream blush with the perle collection in the compact. It was only sold in Europe. It really pisses me off now that the department stores over seas are no longer allowed to send the exclusive products to any area outside their regular shipping zone. Which has nothing to do with the contents of the product. As in it a forbidden product to ship by air. I checked this out. The Dior Tie Dye collection the lip balms that are sold in the States, they will ship here. But the two that aren't sold here are banned for shipping to the States. Bite me comes to mind.....
So annoying, but I'll focus on the amazing items that are accessible to me, buy them & enjoy them. I'm so over chasing makeup.

Except for my moment of insanity with Russia this morning, I sooooo agree. That is why I urge others to establish relationships with the product specialist for the lines you want. Provide them your list, and they pull the product as soon as it gets in. never hits the shelves. No more chasing, unless I decide I don't want something and then change my mind. Since the PS knows where it is, and the date it will hit the store. Helps when you make it a point to get on a first name basis with the VP of the store and the manager of the cosmetic department. Since some stores will literally only get 3-5 of one shade of whatever.

We share the task.....like most other things. Like I made us a lovely brunch, ate outdoors and he cleaned up.

My brother and wife have his, her, and their bills. Each has their own bank account plus a joint account. He doesn't know or wants to know how or what she may be doing with her money. The same for her with him. Brother knows he would so lose it over her children trips to the local mall. As long as he is not paying for it, he doesn't care....

I agree to a point. I've always cultivated good relationships with SAs---some are just so sweet---BUT--when I can get items readily available online with 8 or more % cash
back, that becomes pretty meaningful too. I pick and chose the best route to go based on the items that I need & want. That works pretty well for me. That said, I have
gotten many of my most sought after TF e/s quads via SAs who scoured the country for me. For that I'm eternally grateful and reward those efforts by tossing an
occasional sale or referral their way.
