Almus, I hope everything is ok with you given the earthquake!! Yes, the R&R blushes and eye shadows are amazing - hopefully you can get a good deal on them - I think they're all being discontinued......
Yes, we are ok. The earthquake epicenter was located 450 kms away from where I live. It has been terrible ... Spain is not ready for strong earthquakes so a lot of buildings have been damaged. The news are devastating, some people died when running away from home

Thank you so much for thinking about me Cheryl

, and also for your recommendations! The price for the blushes is ok I think (30$) but the problem is the shipping, because since the packaking is bulkier, it increases the price a lot =/

Almus.. so sorry to hear the news.. and glad that you are ok and have internet. Earthquakes are a horrific freak of nature -- and it seems like the world is headed for more of them. sigh. My friends in Madrid are ok too.. gulp.

C!.. what a lovely encounter. It is so often that we are not grateful for those who do things in silence for us.. and don't demand anything.... And then there are the rude and nasties.. the ones who should be put to shame and fired ipso facto.

Elegant -- that's my lovely darlin Clementine, which I bu'd up too.. lol. It is like butter but better.. and I have decided that I only want lips that are mlbr -- my lips but redder or mlbp -- pinker..... not better as they are pretty good.. lol.
omg. what a day today.

I got the pics of my All roads lead to Rrrramon ring.. and here they are: (if photobucket behaves)

Can he burn my hair and then cut it?

That is seriously gorgeous!!

Now you 2 have me thinking about backing up HB........

Not much shopping today - I got a Chantecaille shadow that I've been trying to find in the refill pan (Patchouli) - I didn't feel like being accosted by all of those little barkers in the mall aisles - this mall is terrible for that. It's unbelievable. I don't want to be asked what I use under my eyes, or if I want to see what my hair would look like with (fill in the blank) or anything else. I just want to look around and SHOP.

I went into Needless Markup and realized why I do not shop in that store (aside from the fact that I don't have one near me) - the makeup counter ladies in there are totally useless. I tried to find someone to get a sample of the Peau Verge (LMdB), but no dice.....but the tester of the color I needed was empty anyway. No one would help me at NARS, and when I had a question about the lip/cheek tints at LMdB, I got something just short of a shrug. The only one who actually had a personality was the Armani lady - apparently the Eyes to Kill in #2 (she thinks) will be re-released. She had it on and it was so pretty, so that's on my list now. I didn't even bother at the LM counter -

I didn't feel like walking over to Nordstrom as I'd have to navigate the mine field I mentioned above.......

Hope everyone is having a good day - I'm winding down - dinner with a friend tonight, and then back up to pack. I am so ready to be home!

I did find a bag at Brighton that I now have on my list.........

thank you C!... so glad you will be heading home soon.. it feels good to come home.. I miss my boys when I travel a lot. And then when I'm home they won't leave me alone.. poor babies.

I hope the lil package is there so you can give me your opinion. I like the ring too.. lol, I haven't taken it off since he gave it to me cause it reminds me of him, and cause it is handsome looking, imo.

Michelle thanks.. sorry for the photobucket debacle.. this site should have an easier way of posting pics.. it is quite frustrating.

Elegant.. thanks.. I like it a lot.. lol.

and yes Michelle, he likes me a lot too.. even talked of marriage, but I am too scared and not ready yet.. yet. yet. At the same time, I am not getting any younger and dating is not really my cup of tea.. I would otherwise become a cougar

Thanks to all for the comments on my internet situation. I'm normally so careful about such things that I don't have any problems. I'd actually give the damn provider the money if they could explain to me how these people managed to get into my account, given that everything was protected and mined and booby-trapped and everything else. I sent an email to their customer service asking that they reconsider their decision not to reimburse us and that they come up with a way that they can guarantee we won't be held liable for any charges in the future. I immediately got an auto-response saying someone would be in touch with me within 24 hours. No such luck...

Almus- I'm glad to know that you're OK. Hope that everyone is able to rebuild. Such a scary thing to go through.

HG- Glad to see the ring! Damn, if that's a friendship ring I am decidedly making the wrong kind of friends!

I definitely think you're excellent cougar material.

Michelle- I love the name Chloe... Not so much in favour of the Kardashian-isation of society in any way, so perhaps your sister would reconsider? Oh well, I'm sure that Chloe will be a beautiful little girl however her name is spelled. Congratulations!

Currently looking at four sample pots of Mac Big Bounce shadows that I picked up today while "refilling my prescription" for Fix+. I'm very leery, but hey, they were free.

^^ I'm getting some samples too - I was encouraged to use them as liner, and OVER shadow - its works quite well. They're not supposed to be like Paint Pots, but geez, why did they make so many?

I'll be curious to see how our experiences compare. I tried putting a couple on my arm and letting them set and they do pretty much stay in place then. The problem is, you'd have to sit for a minute with your eyes shut and your brows raised to allow them to set properly on your lids. I think I'm actually going to try putting them on just before I dry my hair... We'll see if a good blast of the hair dryer helps get them to stay put.
