love it! and what a sweet deal!Girls!!! I scored the most adorable Baekgaard pink LEATHER tote for $40 at TJ Maxx today!! I thought it was some sort of man-made material for that price - but the tag says the retail is $175 and there's a 'Genuine Leather' tag on the inside.......I was stunned. It's so 'me' - and will be great as a carry-on tote for travel - will hold my laptop and a bunch of other stuff.
Man, I just love finding 'finds' there!!!

Thanks Cheryl!!Happy Anniversary Astrid!! I hope you enjoyed your celebration and fancy food! That's so great that your SA has noticed you for the makeup diva you are!!
ShadowAddict - that is so funny! Yes, it's amazing the 'education' they get! A lot of my relatives are from Tennessee and Kentucky.....
Thank you everyone for the well wishes - Riley (the dog) is doing very well - she went after a squirrel the other day, much to my chagrine.......
Happy Monday everyone!!
I'm quite glad about the makeup diva thing, but not sure my wallet is
Happy to hear your Riley is doing well too
Happy Monday to you too! And to all the lovely Ratonas!

Happy anniversary Astrid!!!
And congratulations on the new bag, Shypo! Looks lovely! I'm amazed at how some people just seem to have a way of finding these deals... I wish there were someone who could teach me. And I'm glad to have good news of Riley. She's lucky that she has you guys as a family.
I was talking to my Chanel MA this afternoon and I asked her about her blush- she's always got this glorious peachy glow about her. Turns out it's Espeigle, so now I'm coping with wanting that as well. I feel like I have lots of peachy blushes, but this one looks so amazing on her and she's close to the same skin tone as me... I seriously must not be allowed to go anywhere near that counter again for a long while.

Katred dear - I think ALL of us loved Espeigle blush or Beagle blush as it is fondly known here

But... but... if I have lots of peach blushes... I don't need it, right??? Right???

No, not at all
seriously, there is nothing like a gorgeous Chanel blush that blows all other blushes out of the water. They become part of your skin & radiate a natural within color. I think thats what you're seeing with your Chanel MA

what are these pictues of?
MissQQ - no trouble at all - I pulled out a backup of SO that I have to show you a comparison - I think the pic picks the colors up pretty well. I don't know what the old Guerlain's smelled like, so I'm not sure how fruity this is - there's a definite 'sweet' smell, but not an overpowering one. It reminds me of something but I cannot think what. Something from my childhood......so maybe it is a fruity-type smell......

Sigh... OK, I can see that I'm going to have to go back in pursuit of this blush... It seriously does make her look radiant. When I asked her about it, I suspected that it was Espeigle, because of the perfect peachy tone.

Hello everyone,
First things first: congrats on your anniversary Astrid! I hope I am not too late.
And I have to say I love your bag Cheryl! It has a pretty color for the incoming seasons. I returned my bag (the one I got for my bday) and I am going to look for another one with my mom, cause the one she got for me it's too "winter" style. I was going to keep it, but she said she also noticed it was not good for spring-summer and that she is happy to go out and do some more shopping
And ...
I got to run. Today I realized that my driving license has expired, so I'll spend most of my morning surrounded by documents in the traffic department =(

^^ Thanks! They also had it in a gorgeous turquoise, so I'm considering that (am I insane? Yes) - I always love a good stylish laptop/tote bag - the brighter the better!!
PrettyPackages - that pic is a comparison of Guerlain Shalimar Rouge Automatique to MAC Show Orchid.....
BTW, I love the formula of the GRAs - they feel very good on, and the color is not over-the-top. I have Shalimar on this morning, and it's the perfect pretty pink. I may be checking out more of these.....
Katred, those of us with 'Beagle blush' here absolutely love it - you should give it a try - I don't think you would be disappointed. It's like no other peachy blush I have -

^^ I saw her review too and I like the dior effect more than Guerlain. Before seeing her comparison, I was certain I would get terra inca and not Aurore but now I don't know. terra inca looks quite shimmery.
cheryl - When I like a certain pair of shoes, top, or bags, I am always tempted to get it in other colours. I fear I will like the GFAs... lol. I don't need another lipstick addiction.

Michelle - its Tuesday
Did you see her swatch of Aventure? (I see where they called it aDventure too
her last set of swatches are more accurate.I think I still like the Chanel bronzers on much better.
