Shadowaddict: Am so sorry for your situation. While not the same, my brother happens to be very sensitive and can also get extremely angry and say hurtful things and go on for months on end without talking to me. He really destroyed our relationship with each other about 3 years ago and it took me such a long time to be able to get past it. It took me energy, lots of crying, bouts of depression and I felt I was wrong when I wasn't. At the end of this, due to the extreme levels of stress he placed on me and the fact that almost no one sympathized with me "oh....you should be the bigger person....you are more mature...etc" it took a toll on my health and that was when I decided that I come first and if he wants a relationship he is going to have to work on it. I still see him occasionally and am usually non-confrontational and just treat him more as an acquaintance now to avoid further conflict. I try to leave it at that. The problems were made 100X worse when he got married and a part of me regrets all the times I stood up for his wife when he was angry at her or having one of his moods or they were fighting. I wish I could take back all the presents and the help and advice I offered and that I had just leave them to solve their own issues. I guess what I am trying to say is I hope he gets help soon and that your problems are resolved and that your DIL will grow up but I fully understand that you don't want to get involved as much anymore especially if you are at the receiving end of hateful behaviour!

I thought the G&I ones looked like stripper heels plastic but it didn't stop me from buying them.

I almost got the set with the 167 but my MUA told me that it will be released as an SH brush later, so I skipped. Et voila, I got three of them with HS.

Thank you, and so sorry about your relationship with your brother. That sounds familar. My son and daughter haven't spoken for months, a few texts here and there but that's it. They both claim they do not have a sibling. Neither one of them will tell me why. I think it all began with my daughter defending me after one of his bow ups and went from there. She told me a few days ago that she texted his wife and asked if she thought it was possible for me to see my grandson on my birthday (I turned 50 on the 9th). My dil told her to ask her brother. At first he said we shall see and then about 2 hrs later he sent her a long 2 part text that was so unbelievably mean and vivious and of course filled with profanity. I asked her to fwd the text to me and it was actually worse than she said, calling her horrible names.

She used to look up to her brother so much when they were younger but when he started the mood changing and agression at around 12 things went down hill. Before that her was such a happy loving child, very carefree and played with her on her younger level. This all has affected her so much. I guess how can you live with all that anger and mood swings and not be affected, especially when you're 6 yrs old. She has been treat for depression since she was about 10. She has had trouble in college due to sinking into a bad depression and not coming out of her dorm room. We've had to pull her out in the middle of a semester twice and move her back home and take a short break which has put her way behind. She graduated highschool in 2007 and is 23 but only has enough credits that she is classified a sophomore. She lives at home now and drives almost an hour to the university. Hopefully at the end of this semester she'll have enough to be a junior. But yet her brother tells her to grow the f**k up and to move out, stop having us support her, she's worthless, will never do anything with her life and so on.

Tomorrow is my dil's 27th birthday and I don't know if I should send a card wiith a giftcard, just a card, or a text, or do nothing. I don't want to make them even more angry and look like I'm thoughtless or acknowledge her birthday. I asked my husband last night but he really didn't respond. He would probably say do nothing as he is still pretty pissed off at the way they treated our daughter and me. He was so wiped out so I let him rest and didn't push for his opinion.

Hopefully this craziness will all end shortly.

It doesn't sound like she deserves a gift. She certainly wouldn't get one from me. She's more than entitled enough without thinking that she can treat people anyway she wants and that they'll still fuss over her birthday.

I'm not into animal prints, but my daughter is. I'll more than likely get her one of the holiday sets as a gift tacky or not. She went out and got herself one of those car kits with pink zebra seat covers complete with a fuzzy pink steering wheel cover and fuzzy pink zebra dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Tacky yes, but somehow she makes it look cute.

I did some detective work of my own after looking at the promo pic again. I compared one of my Fluidline jars to an eye shadow. I'm really hoping for Fluidlines, but I'm afraid those jars in the promo pic may be Paint Pots. Paint Pots are larger than Fluidlines, and my Fluidline jar looks to small next to the eye shadow. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Does anyone know if the pale/pink/nude lipstick shade is Fleshpot? I was thinking of ordering it from MAC Pro, but if it's going to be released in this collection I will wait.
