Shypo - that sounds so pretty. I think I need that (even though I'm supposed to be in hiding for the next 3 weeks)

Michelle - thats really funny! I wonder why though?

Cutie - those shoes are very cool looking.

Oh, I forgot the best part of my shopping trip yesterday - we pigged out on Jumbo Red Velvet cupcakes topped with a bunch of Vanilla frosting.

I have Fauve, and I'm about nc20-25 and on the olive side. I also really like it. It is actually a great colour if you want something quick to throw on. Cheryl described it well!

I called one of the two stores today that carry Laura Mercier to see if Hibiscus Bloom was in stock. Nope. I wanted that and Berry Sorbet, they didn't have either of them. The SA was going to call another location to see if they have it, hopefully she can get it in. The pics of Hibiscus Bloom are stunning. The Queen Enabler strikes again!

Ladies, I have a (probably silly) question: Is duty-free usually just tax-free or is there an actual discount to the product price? I was thinking about buying a bigger bottle of Chance e.d.p. but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to buy it on Chanel's website or when I pass through Heathrow airport in two weeks. What to do?

Hello everyone!

I am finally settled in my new home! It has a been the most busy week of my life: I am mentally and physically exhausted! Today I have returned to work and to internet (I am still waiting for the internet company to send the router for the new place) so I have a lot of catch up to do while lunch

stv, I love the Banana Republic's dress. I bet you look stunning on it!

Elegant ... super nice shopping spree! I have been buying so many furniture, bed clothes, etc during the last weeks that I have almost forgot what it is to buy some makeup or clothes for myself, lol. And I am not very lucky, since I didn't find anyone to do a CP for me for the Fashion Flower collection, so no e-purchases either =(

So I am running towards the summer collection thread to check, cause I assume we will be having it soon at the counters.

Tons of kisses for the Chanel Ratonas. It's so good to be back!

Almus -- so glad you are all settled! Enjoy your new place!

Have any of you taken pictures to document your makeup collection for insurance purposes?? I really think I need to do that. Last year we had a flood, and thankfully it wasn't where my makeup was, but I would be so ticked if anything every happened to my stash!! I think I need pics to prove I really have spent the money I have on makeup LOL

I tried out Boy today from the sample pack. I didn't get it when it was pre-released because I wasn't sure if it would be all that unique. But I tried it today and it looked perfect for my cool toned complexion. A true MLBB -- but gave me such a perk! Another one to add to my list . . . it continues to grow

 

[stv578]

Almus, congrats! It is such a chaotic time trying to get settled in, but will be well worth all the work! You'll probably find that buying things for your place will take priority for a while, I know it was that way for me!

Michelle, isn't the sample pack great?! I honestly think these high end brands should do that more regularly, because I found I ended up trying colours I wouldn't normally gravitate to, and ended up liking them! (Okay, maybe they shouldn't do that more, lol!).

I am really trying to decide between the new Dior quint -- Rose Tan and the new Armani summer quad (the swatches on Beauty Lookbook were amazing). I am loving a summery bronzey eye paired with pink cheeks and lips!! Have any of you seen these in person??

I've seen the Dior ones and they are lovely. I have yet to buy a Dior quint, but I'm always impressed with the colours they put together. I think I just have a hard time picking one. I haven't seen the Armani in person yet, but the swatches that I've seen are really breathtaking. I've generally been loving Armani lately, so I may cave to that. I'm kicking myself for not getting the blush/ powder that came out with their Spring collection.

 

[Bonitinha]

^^Me too about the Armani Spring blush (and the pink lippie). Why did I not get those?? Maybe that it a sign that I need the Armani summer palette . . .

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

Me three about the Spring blush. By the time I started lemming that thing, it had already sold out insanely fast at the counters and online!

I know I've mentioned before how IN LOVE I am with Le Metier de Beaute's creme fresh tint but I have to shout it from the rooftops again! I think it really is a must for you guys to try! I really liked how my pics captured it.

^^Very pretty!! I wish I could use cream blushes -- but they just don't mix with my oily skin -- grrr. Looks lovely on you

lol. Great to hear you like Boy. Enjoy the sample pack! Good thing your makeup was not ruin.

I've always hated any other cream blushes I've tried. But this one isn't sticky or tacky and it sets to a dry finish while looking dewy. I don't have oily skin though so I can't say for sure whether it would work for you but I think if any cream blush would it would be this. It's really light the consistency. Very different.

I'm so excited about my sample pack! I've tried Liberte and Monte Carlo so far and love both. I also thought Boy seemed kind of boring when it came out at Valentines. Maybe I'd better try it too as I'm on the cool side ;-)

The Spring 2011 Armani blush and Rouge d'Armani were my very first Armani purchases outside of Eyes to Kill mascara and I LOVE them!!! I just posted a look using them with the Chanel Kaska Beige quad the other day! I love that color combo too!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Yeah Liberte and MC are gorgeous. I love MC! Boy is not my favourite among the RCS too
