its a night when all the beauty and fragrance counters get together and show the latest in beauty. there's drinks (you get two drink tickets) and hors deuvres (sp?) and a dj and whatnot. it costs $20 for a ticket and you get $10 of back in a fragrance or cosmetic purchase. there's also drawing for gift baskets for each counter. ours are priced at $150 value per basket.

OMG Pamela, that is beyond against the law. i would consult someone that can give you legal advice. #1 a company is not allowed to let you go once you say you are pregnant. My friend dealt with this before. #2 What your co-worker has said is considered sexual harrasment and again is illegal. You should not take that from anyone girl!!! Let me know what happens!!

Well the guys I work with are very anti-pregnancy/children...I work with all men and they have always made comments about having me in front for "eye candy" for their customers. I always kind of had to roll with it b/c I needed the job. So I think they saw it as me not having that persona anymore and let me go. I have always went above & beyond at my job so I'm pretty mad right now. They said I could have 2 weeks to try and find a job, gee thanks-but then I had to go. On Monday when I told them, one of them said "Man, I would rather my wife tell me she *ucked some other guy than tell me she was pregnant, at least I could deal with that" 
Any advice on what I should do? |

I put that on page 79! Just one 'black'based Greasepaint Stick!

The name of this Greasepaint Stick is Greasepaint Stick. There is no specific name, as opposed to the additional two in DSquared which have specific names. Hope that clears things up! |

you'd think they wouldn't be rude because they get to play with make up and i guess get some applications done! spilling the wine is a big no though! can you not ban them from bringing it near the mac counter? have a special 'wine zone' just outside the counter area where you can pen them in! we do that in the uk for smokers!

On my eyes, the GPS looks black black, then when I took my contacts out & could see really close in the light, it had a slight purple blue cast - very subtle though.

Ok ladies, bear with me...
First of all, I went to Nordstroms to get my stuff. I went way out the way since a friend of mine was going out to a job interview. The MA told me they launch Mac releases a week before everyone else (say whaaa?). That would explain why there was only ONE night violet mattene and the greasepaint was SOLD OUT. Alright, I got to play with the GP tester and I still didn't like it. Any possible sparkle was microscopic, it was drier than my hair without oil sheen, just...do not want. She offered me one that's been on hold since last week and I said no thanks.
Second, I am so disappointed with night violet. It is the EXACT same color as Urban Decay's Confession lipstick, which I already have. The only difference is UD is a bit glossier than the semi matte mattene. NV is actually pretty, but it's going back b/c it's exactly the same and actually the UD lipstick feels better on my lips. I was so sure I was going to keep NV.
Third, a surprise love is the CCB in Bat Black. How flippin' GORGEOUS!!! It's such a weird beauty. It's so gorgeous on the skin. I used a brush to test it out when I got home and the beautiful reddish/purple frost was on my lid while the brush hairs were jet black. I got a laugh out of that. Really cool.
My friend painted her nails with all three nail colors, like a rainbow. All of them were unimpressive except for the greenish one. I will be going back for that. It is beautiful and with one coat it was nearly perfect.
In summary
: Night Violet will be returned, The glimmer glasses in bling black and blackfire are NOT TO BE MISSED. Greasepaint stick is a huge thumbs down and the CCB in bat black is AMAZING. And here is where my weirdness/stupidity shows: even though I hate the black GP stick, I am curious to try the blue and purple ones from Dsqaured.
