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.

i'm wondering if i need the GPS now.... i wanted it because i like the purpley shimmer.... but if it's not that noticable and quite dry maybe i won't get much use out of it?! another hard desicion to make!

i think i'd wear it on nights out (which i go on every month or 2 months!) as liner and then as a base for dark shadows... but agian i mainly wear dark shadows on nights out. i love brights for work and the day. and when i go dark it's usually smokey greens or purples....

unfortunately we can't.

it'd be nice if we could tho. if they do spill it on the counter or on product we can make them go away, but not make them stay away with drinks in the first place.

so, you bought the last NV and you're gonna return it? did you even try it on at the counter before buying it?

why not sell it on here so it doesn't go to waste?

OK, I am sure this is glitter overload and Tish will run screaming into the night but I wonder how the MES would look with or over the Pearlglides?

Congrats, Pamela!! That really sucks about your job, though. Since you live in an at-will state, any discrimination case will be really difficult to win. But, it still might be worth speaking with an attorney in case there is something that can be done.

/Off topic
about: Alcohol and pregnancy, demystifying a myth:
The fact that drinking is ok at early stage of pregnancy is NOT true.
I'm studying Neurology and Biopsychology for 3 years now and the scientific community is final on it: a lot of major recent studies shows that drinking alcool is not a good thing at ANY stage of pregnancy, it can induce minor or major deffects on the developpement of neurones and the structure of the brain of the fetus.

Even adult user should not forget that alchool is the most dangerous drug for permanent damages to the brain aside crack, meth and gazoline. (Talking about alcoholics here not casual drinkers)

** That said; I drink and smoke. I just wanted to say: do it responsibly. and...I didn't mean to be a PITA**

Pamela - I'm so happy for you, huge congrats on the baby!! I'm sorry to hear about the job, but it sounds like you were working with total asshats...I'm sure there's something far better out there for you.

As mentioned by others, Texas is a very difficult state for this issue. Unless you have written/e-mailed proof with the wording "you are being layed off due to pregnancy", your situation is a tough one to win. It's incredibly unfair and cruel, but in the eyes of the law...it may not be "illegal".

I wish you the best of luck with this crappy issue. Hang in there girl, and keep on keepin on!

I Love Night Violet so much I bought a back up last night
smiles.gif
I like the fact that it is matte...sheered out, makes it look like a natural lip stain. And, on me it looks the same color as her lips in the promo.

Its beautiful with Blooming blush

Any Lush Ocean Salt and Mask of Magnaminty fans here that tried VAE and/or VAM???? Do you like them most than Lush?? I'm a hard core lover of Ocean Salt because of the salt, an Mask o Magnaminty because of the cooling sensation, but the thermal mask is something opposiste and excites me a bit.

Thanks for posting. I am a teacher for mentally handicapped children - I could tell you a lot about pregnancy and alcohol. At every stage.
