C! I agree.. I love both of these foundations more than any others I have tried.. and there have been far too many.

LM for it's creaminess and finish -- it makes me look like porcelaine.. the good one, not old Hall pottery.. lol
Clarins for the day to day soft finish I like -- it's perfect for me too.

Torn between two loverssssssssssssssss

oh yea.. music nite at the Ratona house .. lol

Michelle, I want her dress.. lol.

Actually I have a summer dress I got in Italy two years ago, and it has the little cherries on white, with pin tucking.. it somehow works better with the flying hair, which right now I don't have.. sigh.

Cheryl -- I've heard great things about the LM foundations -- I obviously need to get with it! I haven't used my Sephora code yet -- I need to figure out how much more stuff I can buy without seeing DH faint straight away LOL



HG -- Your dress sounds adorable -- I love a good vintage style summery dress! I wish my hair would fly like that . . . but it is fine and blah. I tried the extensions but they itch so much, they drove me nuts

Did anyone use their VIBCHIC code to order from Sephora today? I ordered the LM blushs and a NARS duo. Oh, and a Lancome Nu lipstick (the Rose Veil color).

Elegant, glad your strippin' was rewarded!!

Salmon sounds pretty!

HG, I've been using my Clarins foundation samples - I think 110 (Honey) ends up being my perfect match. I'm still liking the LM foundation too - I think it's the creaminess of that one that has me drawn in....
lol.gif
I got double strippin points!

Salmon is really pretty on. Its weird though, after wearing the Dior & Chanel lippies - all the other lipsticks seem dry.

Michelle, I love that picture! Is kindergarten all day?

In Ontario, kindergarten starts the year a child turns 4, they start "junior" kindergarten and the kids go either half days or alternate days and then a year of "senior" kindergarten. But last year they started to switch some of the schools to full day every day, the plan being that eventually all the schools will have full time kindergarten. Which I guess is good for working parents, but it's too much for the little one's imo. When my son started he was still 3, and I cannot imagine him having gone every single day without any nap and he was forced to become self-sufficient at such a young age. Luckily, my daughter was in the alternate day system this year and will be starting the full time program for senior kindergarten in September. So ya, I'll be a little sad too. Our babies are growing up. :(

Oh, and we finally ordered some window coverings. Oh my goodness how daunting! I'm still a little uneasy with the whole thing, because I kept flip flopping with the colour choices, so I'm seriously hoping that I don't end up regretting what we ultimately picked.

Nora -- Kindergarten will just be half day -- she'll start in August. I can imagine the full day would be a long day for those little ones. She just lost her first tooth today and now she seriously thinks she is hot stuff LOL. Fun to see them grow up, but sad at the same time.

Yay for the new window coverings -- I'm sure it will all turn out amazing! I am doing a few projects around the house (just small decorative things) and it's so fun to have a creative outlet. I hope you love what you ordered :)

Michelle, that photo of your baby is so adorable! I'm sure she'll get along fine in kindergarten, now that she's got that big-girl missing-tooth look happening, she'll be the coolest thing there.

Michelle, your little girl is too cute! And her flying hair is glorious! I spot her tiny cute shoe at the bottom of the pic. :)

I need some twirling today, with or without the twirling dress.

Just saw the lancome summer collection pics. Another bronzer, looks so cute! And the nail polish looks like hot pink jelly!

Yes, her little silver ballet flats you can spy in the bottom of the pic :) All of us need some serious twirling action! I just seem to console myself with makeup . . . but I really should try the twirling!

I am taking my baby to Kindergarten Registration today! I could cry. She had to put on her favorite twirling dress (Now that is some serious twirling action). I better go play with my new makeup to I don't get too sad that my little princess is getting big -- le sigh!



Oh my goodness how adorable. When my daughter was little probably between ages 2-6 she had to see how much a dress would twirl to decide if she liked it or not. Actually at 22 she still likes dress that twirl. I guess some things never change.

It looks like we may not be getting the BB Rich Lip colours up here. The guy at the BB counter told me he hadn't heard of any new products launching...

I used to love twirling dresses too - it's such a total girly-girl thing! My parents were square dancers and I used to love the costumes - my mom was a hottie and looked like a short brunette Barbie (minus the boobage though) and always looked so fabulous when they went out dancing! I loved those skirts with the crinolines (like my Barbie avatar

).

Yes, I think a girl's gotta twirl. Thanks so much for sharing that pic Michelle - such a feel-good reminder!!

LMD84 -- Thank you -- I just thought that moment was too cute to not capture it!

Cheryl -- you're right -- your avatar has a fabulous twirling dress :) That is cute that your mom was such a hottie on the dance floor -- love that

You know Michelle - If I were her, I would put that tooth under the pillow & wish for Chanel - maybe a makeup fairy

Michelle, how cute and bitter-sweet that she lost her first tooth! Hope the tooth fairy spoiled her!

Ugh, I've been obsessing over our colour choices for the windows. The installer guy will be coming by to do a "check" measure, so I don't think the order is in yet! I may go by a store tonight to torture myself some more and have another look at our options. It's just too much money to make a mistake on, lol! The decision was to go with all white on rather large windows in our bedroom, or go with a pale taupe satin fabric, and the sheer panel behind it will remain white (So strips of a pale taupey colour on a white sheer sheet of fabric as a background). We went with the taupe option, hubby felt it'd be too much white since the windows take up quite a bit of space. Any thoughts?

MissQQ, a little twirling once in a while would probably be very uplifting! I loved the episode of Friends when Pheobe when went running through the park with her arms flailing about like a kid! It's so true, anytime I run after my kids and act silly, it feels so good! Although, I think the twirling may make me feel a little ill at my age!

Elegant, if you wanna discuss window coverings, message me! We're only half way done, it's fun to exchange ideas.

Nora, the taupe sounds very pretty and elegant! Try not to drive yourself too crazy - I'm sure you will love what you pick out!
