Ahh... it's nice to be missed.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I was not at work today. My grandma passed away this morning so I haven't slept in nearly 48 hrs because I stayed at the nursing home all sun/mon with her... wasn't sure when she was going to go. Very sad.

So no makeup today! Just puffy eyes and very tired.

I got the alcohol today from bunnings but im a little nervous to start doing it...so cross your fingers and your toes and ill tell you how it goes!

FOTD Today ended up a hot mess, i remembered how much i dont like woodwinked on me...it just goes nothing for me

so... im not posting it today...however tomorrow I have something bright and colourful with some reflex teal in it planned...

It sounds like everyone is going to be having lots of fun over in melbourne doing girly things! The rest of us will have to settle on some pictures of all of your girls together!

Good luck with the depotting! I haven't attempted it myself yet but I'll have to pretty soon.

Hey is Woodwinked isn't working for ya you could always off load it to me

hehehehe. I think I'm going to offload Honesty becuase it doesn't do anything for me.

 

[billy_cakes]

aw, id offer to trade you but i already have honesty

that one never seems to really work on my either though...too glittery

 

[jrm]

Hrm .. i *adore* woodwinked - absolutely makes my eyes pop...

I understand what you mean about Honesty though .. it looks as though it should do more and just .. doesn't come thruogh with the goods

With the project I'm working on and stuff - it just isn't really doable; I'm pretty sure I'm on training all that week anyway

Myer definately accepts depotted e/s for B2M, also depotted blushes (both without pans) I love tempting... perfect chocolately brown on me with gold flecks. It's one of the "good" lustres, lovely and pigmented and great to work with!

hmmm... oh well.. thanks for the info... i'm def going to get tempting... you guys are such enablers... well.. i know i'm the one who asked for it.... haha.. and get a sample of museum bronze soon...

If you wanted an e/s dupe go for Cranberry - its the closest you'll get. Yep Coppering is the closest e/s dupe to Brash I have two Spiced Chocolate quads, was about to swap one away! I got my Norwegian Wood blush this morning and I depotted it I used and iron and some baking paper - worked PERFECTLY!! I travel about a bit too - all my blushes are in a 6x blush palette - its much easier than carting about pots

ooo.. it's nice to find i already have cranberry.... but i'm going to try heritage rouge as well...

and congratz!!! i once tried using an iron method and it just didn't work as well as candles... but it's just me...

[simplyenchantin]

[billy_cakes]

Silly lusters...other than a very select few of them... i dont think i would be devested if they discontinued them

 

[billy_cakes]

I DID IT!!!!

I just depotted hepcat without a problem!

P.s is it really wrong if as soon as i did it I did a dance and then proclaimed "I HAVE TO TELL THE GIRLS ON THE FORUM I DID IT!" and then ran out the room

 

[jrm]

Nup .. lol .. it's fine!

Go you on depotting

...

I tried to depot some of mine and found I was crap at it .. I usually try and harangue MrsMay into doing mine .. *hides*

Clothes wise.. Don't wear skirt!

When I was at the Vancouver Pro store, the MUA there showed me a pretty combination using Honesty and Beautiful Iris together. I think it is good all over wash colour.

Way to go Billy Cakes!!

Also - blurburry shadestick is very close in colour to cranberry/heritage rouge

lol yes, she does usually try to rope me into depotting for her... probably cos I have it down to 3 minutes per e/s or blush

 

[billy_cakes]

I think the only luster that I really like is pandimodium and tempting...

 

[MrsMay]

^^ oh yeah.. I forgot about that... I have Nighttrain e/s as well which is a lustre... That e/s is nasty to blend!!

 

[jrm]

According to my list, the only lustres I have are honesty, chill blue, forgery & li'lily.

Chill Blue is quite nice, li'lily is okay, but ... harder to work with definitely ..

As I said earlier, honesty just *so* does not work for me .. painful painful painful .. and forgery mostly fits into that same category - so much potential color-wise, but I can't get it to work right ..

 

[billy_cakes]

oh and i forgot! the two from the fafi eyes 2 quad!

which i forgot to add, are shit and i hate
