Hi Elegant! (((Hugs)))Hi Nora!
I was on here earlier and was able to read the posts, I hit reply and then duty called at work and I never finished with my post! I wanted to respond to your post about LM's Hibiscus Bloom! Is it ever one of the prettiest lipstick colours! I tried it on yesterday and it is quite literally the most flattering and effortlessly pretty shade of lipstick! The texture is really nice too, it covers nicely without being too heavy, but yeah, I wish it would last a little longer. My mission now is to find a dupe of it in a longer wearing formula!

Hi lovely Ratonas
Sorry I've been missing too last week. Was quite busy after that trip to see my friend. It was so great to see her again... She's expecting later on this month! I'm sooo happy for her
.
Elegant, congrats on your iMac! I wish I could get one soon too! *fingers crossed*
As for the makeup front, I didn't get anything this month... although I did buy a pair of ballerinas and a jumpsuit
.
It's too bad with Cafe Makeup. I just discovered it through you ladies, and I think it's a lovely site. Still I couldn't really understand why she folds everything so easily. I'm sure she has her own reason... but it's really something special to have 2 million people looking at your site!

Jenn - congrats again!
Nora - Great that you love HB! You are making me anxious now, because I refuse to pay for it overprice here, so I hope my coworker who is traveling to the US in July can help me pick it up. Hope it is still available next month. If not I'll consider buying it at my local store.
elegant - lol yup I remember the jetsons, although I didn't watch it a lot. The flying car is fantastic! When I was young, I thought the jetsons is very similar to the flintstones, but I found flintstones funnier. Now that you mention about iTunes, I realise I can access it on my iPhone now. But we can't buy any music/songs. We can buy the apps, so maybe facetime can be purchased too. I will explore with my macbook tonight.

Jenn, congratulations on all of your life's blessings!!! Your ring is beautiful! I am so happy for you, and glad you got to stop by to tell us the news!! I wish you every happiness!!
The Jetsons were one of my favorite cartoons, along with the Flintstones and Bugs Bunny!!! I loved the sound the flying cars made - and 'RASTRO'. Do you remember the name of Astro's alter-ego?
Nora, I'm glad you love HB - good luck on your hunt to find a longer-lasting dupe - let us know what you find!
I too am bummed about Cafe Makeup - I loved her reviews and pictures. But as my own blog suffers from lack of attention, I can understand why it may be too difficult to keep up......but I will surely miss her! Maybe she'll turn up here and join our lovely Ratona club!!!
On another different note, I purchased the 'new' Shiseido shadow trio in Pink Sands - when I first got it (ordered online) I thought it wasn't going to have any payoff, but I was wrong - I love them! The pink color has almost a duochrome finish to it, and the taupe is a perfect cool-toned, clear taupe. Gorgeous! I also got one of the new YSL Pure Chromatics quads to try - in #19, which has a champagne color, a rose tone, a deep taupe, and a cool sort of plummy brown. The colors are beautiful, but I want to wear them (they can be used wet or dry). The interesting thing is that to apply wet, they suggest using the 'flexible' applicator that comes with the palette - it's sort of a rubbery 2-ended applicator. Weird. Don't know that I'll use it often, but I'm going to see how it does. The shades swatch quite nicely.
I'm off to go buy new tires. Grrr......I hate having to buy tires. My car eats them. But I got a flat yesterday (I was planning to replace them in the next couple of weeks), so I guess it's time.

Cheryl, that is so strange that you mentioned having to buy tires. I just had a coffee break with a few of my co-workers, and we discussed tires and how expensive they are. My tires also wore out really quickly, and the technician at the tire shop explained that the tires that came with the car have really soft rubber, which wears down really quickly, especially in the heat. I guess it makes for a smoother ride, but he suggested we get a different type, that is a little bit harder, so a bit noisier on the highway. I have an SUV, so the tires are really expensive but we were able to get them warrantied on a pro-rated basis. DH brought the car home from the shop and told me that my car finally looked like a truck, lol!

I love SUVs, I imagine myself looking cool driving one, because it is higher than other cars. I don't have a car, I didn't know tires are expensive. What you said about the soft tires that come with the car sounds familiar, I think I've heard of it. One of the tricks to sell a car...

Nora, Michelle, I love the Shiseido trios. I've used Shiseido for many years, in fact I used one of their old-style trios for my wedding makeup. I have 3 of the current trios, and they're beautiful. The shadows are silky smooth, blendable and have good staying power. Not to enable or anything.....
I had actually seen Pink Sands in a magazine before the new trios came out (the perm ones) and couldn't figure out why PS wasn't one of them - I thought I had just been mistaken about what I saw. Then lo and behold, there it was on Nordie's site as part of the summer collection. I should have known - the mags are notorious for using/showing collections that are seasons away.......
If I had to recommend one or two, Pink Sands would be one, and BR307 Strata (browns) would be the other one, but it's quite warm-toned. But you really can't go wrong with any of them!
