cutie -- I know what you mean but he is a normal guy with an abnormal life.. lol. He has a winery and is ceo of it's operations.. so that makes him a very opinionated and energetic. He does however have an old fashioned romantic side to him and that makes him very endearing.. but, he is also goofy enough to burn my hair and has a looooud boooooming laugh and smokes cigars... so that makes him just human... like me.

the pics of mrslid are on the advertising for the trade show.. lol. I don't know if the pics were stolen as we don't know if mrslid gave them to someone, but on the net, anything is up for grabs.

Michelle.. your shoes are stunning.. and what a deal !!
Advertising for what trade show!!??? Man I'm doing a poor job keeping up on here!

Att mrslid.. I don't normally come in here in the morning as it is way too hectic, but did so today to make you take notice of something really really strange.... I get invites to attend shows from all over the world (naturally I don't go to many of these) but this one struck me because I will be doing more business in S.A.. and I got an invite to go to "Corferias Bogota - Colombia" .. and I open the file, and guess who's on it? YOU!!

how did you arrange that? lol.. if not, check out the pics cause these are being taken from the stuff we have posted on Specktra on the RC shines! What a laugh.

bbl gotta get back in the trench !
OH MY!! Can you forward me that file. My email is perilouslypale at gmail dot com. I've been trying to keep all my pics watermarked since starting my blog but I never used to watermark stuff when I was just posting pics on here. If people were going to steal pics why wouldnt they steal Elegant's gorgeous pics with all the pretty flowers and pearls and other goodies in the background!!??

Cheryl -- maybe you can try Etsy for a pale peach wrap? The sellers have gorgeous handmade items and sometimes and pretty reasonable prices! I found a hand knit cream shrug to go over a dress for a wedding -- and I'm so excited to get it

I just discovered Etsy!! I ordered this brush roll and makeup bag set a while back and I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival!

mrslid... I sent you the file info to your email so that you can see yourself in your red haired glory for a S.A. beauty show.. lol.

C!.. I agree on the heel hight --- but I am still loving and rockin my big tall heels and platforms.. I have not twisted an ankle but have pulled my back which is one reason I have been getting into loafers, espadriles and flat sandals for day and saving my feet /back for special events.

Time does fly with kids -- I am so happy for you tho you have such great kids and proms and all the upcoming social events will make you feel very very proud. Kudos !!

Agh I hope we can get this to work because this whole thing is blowing my mind. I can't imagine my image being used an why on earth they would?? The anticipation to see what on earth they did is killing me

Hello ladies

wow, 47 pages already

I haven't done much makeup shopping lately, don't have a lot of funds for it right now. All I got was another Givenchy product, the loose powder in pastel light. Or light pastel? Well, the lightest one with blue, green, pink and white. Kinda like the Meteorites pearls in 01. It's shimmery, but finer than the Meteorites. And it really does even out redness, but feels a little dry on my skin, not as nice as Chanel's Poudre Libre. And I tried Vitalumiere Aqua, which I had a sample of, but seems like I'm allergic to the scent in it. My eyes kept tearing up and burning, it stopped when I took it off. It was way too dark for me anyways, but I tried it at home just for the sake of trying a Chanel foundation.

I looove the Hydra Beauty Serum though, which I also had a sample of, but that is def to pricey for me to buy. I'd like to try Le Blanc de Chanel, but I'm worried that I might be allergic also. Maybe I'll buy Givenchy Acti'mine instead.

Oh, and I bought a cute black leather clutch bag. I should buy more clothes than makeup, I really need new shoes, but can't find any in my size that I like and that are not ridiculously expensive.

^^ Enjoy the clutch! Yeah it's hard to find clothes & shoes I like at an affordable price so I always end up with new makeup instead. But I'm trying to update my wardrobe so I need to seriously control my spending on makeup so I have some funds for clothes.

Cheryl - Congrats on his graduation!

Michelle - i'll do that. Inimitable doesn't hold the curl for me too, and doesn't do much at all to my lashes. Have fun at the graduation!

Congrats on your son's graduation Cheryl!

Can anyone answer this strange eye cream question I have? Many eye creams claim to de-puff but I actually need the opposite. I feel like my eyes are getting more sunken in looking as I get older. Even when I'm really happy with my concealer and don't see any dark circles, I can see that the area underneath my eyes is sunken in and I hate that. Apart from filler injections which I'm not getting....does anyone know of any eye creams that claim to plump up that area?

C! Congrats on your little one's graduation !! They will always be little in momma's eyes !

mrslid.. I don't know how those pics got on there -- I have re-checked the whole file and only one image of you was left.. all else were apparently deleted.. which means: WE HAVE A MOLE amongst us.. lol.

I did not see any more pics of you and that 's a good thing.. now I see stuff from Cafemakeup.. lol.

Winthrop -- I know exactly what you mean -- it seems to be a common ocurrence among us older gals. The fat stored in the under eye area starts to recede and then you notice the sunken look in the eyes. The inverse of bags which can be cut out in a blepharoscopy... but they can inject your own fat or other fillers into that area and re puff your under eyes. I have a few lines but no puffing or de-puffing yet, but I will do whatever I have to do to keep from either going puffy or getting sunken.. these are relatively easy procedures and not at all dangerous or damaging or hugely expensive.

It sounds like what you're experiencing is a loss of hydration around the eye, or a loss of collagen. Any creams or serums that restore hydration or that fight wrinkles should "plump" the skin around your eye area. Particularly, I'd say that creams that include peptides would be helpful, since peptides help stimulate collagen production, which will generally help plump and/ or rejuvenate the skin around the eyes.

Katred, I love your new profile pic! So beautiful :).

Michelle, also kudos for wearing those big heels! I admire people who can walk comfortable in heels
yes.gif
. Always wanted to do it but I love walking too much when I go out, I ended up cursing the heels
lol.gif

Happy Saturday lovely Ratonas

^^ I save the high heels for times I don't have to do too much walking. I'd be cursing them too ;)
I have some returns to do today -- blah. I got a little over zealous with my summer shopping LOL

Ladies, thanks for sharing the info on sunken eye contours. I get what you mean, winthrop, as I've seen it with some women. I'll need help on that one day too.

Today I have a shopping adventure again because of the 10% discount at the department store. Didn't buy a lot of makeup this time, but some other miscellaneous things like tea, hot water flask and bottle etc. At my usual chanel counter, I purchased Sari d'ea and the last piece of Antigone! Yay!
th_DANCE.gif
The new stocks have finally arrived and I got them at 10% discount! I also bought the Confort cleansing milk, which I've been using for a long time to remove my makeup. I almost wanted to pick up Monte Carlo but it will have to wait for now. Both the bronzers are sold out! That's just 3 weeks after it launched. The guerlain rouge automatiques was launched at another department store and I didn't have time to head there today, so maybe next week then I'll get to see it. But I don't need any new lipsticks!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
