You look gorgeous Lou!

So here I was thinking I would have a calm day because the tarot selling was slow. Um, no.  I haven't even washed my face yet.  I fed the chipmunk!  I made my bed!  I opened my Sephora order and had fun, and then all heck broke loose.  Everyone wanted my decks and I sold 595.00 worth.  Yeehaw!  Happy Banana Dance!

And guilt-free shopping for me! 

Lou! The video was so fun! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Lou and Debi--you both look gorgeous with your cute necklaces and pretty makeup.

Yay for selling big amout of $

What's in your Sephora haul? I had a little one come today. I got another MUFE aqua liner and it is pretty much the same as UD stash. I had hoped it would be a bit greener.  I also got OPI for Sehora in "How Cute Is That" and it is way peachier than I thought it would be.

I also got MUFE brow corrector after HG and Shontay raved about it. I also got the brush that goes with it. I have to say so far I'm impressed. I threw some on to check it out right before I jumped in the shower. I see why everyone says it will last forever. It only takes an itty bitty bit. Glad I got the brush because it is very different from any of my others. I think it would be hard for just any slant brush to work. I'm going to give it an all day run tomorrow and see how it holds up to my MAC "Lingering" brow pencil. I go through those like crazy so it'd be nice to not buy those so often.

Sally --congrats on the new car, what color.

Lou--I'm looking forward to the pigment video, sounds good.

I need to figure out what time the wedding is for my area.

I am very excited about watching the Royal Wedding and hope we have good coverage and that it doesn't let me down!  My Sephora hauls are up in the Haul section. I meant to put up pictures of my jewelry holder today, but it has been insane between sleeping in and resting up from the lack of sleep due to the neighbourhood fire and then a super busy day selling decks, packing, getting addresses and checking on other orders!  I will probably put it up when I post my MU collection again in the traincase section, but I am not sure when that will be. May 2nd is our 19th Wedding Anniversary, so we have to think of something fun to do over the weekend, as hubby has to work the day.  Bummer.  Maybe I can coax him away for a few hours!  Hehehe...

yeah doing dusting and housework when it is hot is never fun! sod it!

oh do not get me wanting another MUFE product!!! oh and the pigment video was a disaster yesterday. i kept spilling stuff, camera wasn't focussing and all that fun stuff! lol! so i ended up doing an april favourites instead and will do pigment making and my video including my work guys next week! :)
 

Fashion Flower inspired FOTD new blog post guys! i duped the fashion flower collection to save money :)

Love the bright colours, Lou! 

Happy anniversary, Debi! 

Watched the royal wedding, parts of it only. I had to go out and recorded it in the dvr. Looks exciting! Tomorrow I'll watch the whole thing as I'm tired now. Have a good weekend!

thank you!

i watched some of the wedding - skipped the start and just started at the good bits where they were doing their vows. kate looked stunning! although i knew she would :) then i stopped watching for a bit after the were wed and then tuned back in for the kiss :) have fun!
 

That looks fabulous, Lou!  I love the colours on you and you wear coral really well. I am still waiting for my order to arrive...hopefully on Monday, but I have been getting various coral lippies so we shall see what I can come up with and how it looks on me. Eeek!  Nervous about orange, but you never know!

Thank you, Miss QQ!  Hubby has to work that day and all weekend. I hope we come up with something fun to do.  I'm sick of his busiest time always being end of month and the first 2 days of the new month. That affects Halloween, my birthday, Christmas, New Years, our Anniversary, etc. It is getting to the point where we are not taking even a single vacation day anymore.  This has to change. I seriously think he is getting obsessive with work because he doesn't know when to stop and walk away for a while or live a normal life and it is really not boding well right now. 

I really loved the wedding. It was not such the grand affair as Diana's and Charles and I think that is a good thing. It was a real wedding with real love, not a fixed marriage.  They look so happy with each other, too, and so in love.  I can't even imagine all the insanity that will be going on today in London and at the palace!  I thought it was really funny when the BBC announcer saw the Queen turn around and walk back in and said "And so it looks like the Queen has decided this is enough so everyone must follow her back in!"  Isn't there like 650 people waiting at the table to eat, too?  lol  Just a small affair!  But the abbey looked awesome, I loved her dress, I loved that she kept her hair simple and all the readings and music were just perfect!  I may be tired, but I had fun and it was so worth it to watch it live! 

Thanks Debi!  and yes i agree that the wedding was beautiful - i wasn't tearing like some people were whilst watching - but it did make me smile. it also bright back memories of a childhood friend that i had who absolutely adored william!! and to be fair when he was a teenager he was an ok looking chap! but we all used to tease her about her royal crush! :)

i'm going to be getting ready for bed soon. me and nick can watch a movie together - i want to watch camp rock 2 but he refuses the meanie! so we need to find another movie that we both want to watch! i hope everybody is set to have a great weekend!

Lou-I love your FF look. That was a skip for me also, very dupeable.

I thought William was cute when he was younger. What the hell happened:)

I just pulled up pics online. I didn't end up taping. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous as well as the second dress. The close-up pics of the cake were amazing. Every tiny detail was perfect and beautiful.

What were Fergie's daughter thinking? They looked horrible. Those hideous hats and the one with the blue dress was so tacky. The hem was terrible looking and the skirt looked as though it had not been pressed.

I know I'm being so critical but my gosh you are putting yourself out there for the world to see.

Just ending a relaxing evening; probably the first in a week!  We watched another episode of Camelot and it just gets better and better!  I really like where they are bringing this story. I never did get in a nap, so running on empty again!  But I got out a few times and adding to my jewelry collection in picky small amounts, as it should be. A few inexpensive bangles, though nothing as beautiful as yours, Lou! Some earrings, few small cheap rings for bling, a few necklaces, my favourite being a silver and crystal Fleur de lis!  It will be fun to see what is out there and look through magazines to find the popular styles to duplicate, but I also got a Chamilia necklace and 4 beads to put on it, so very happy about that!  I actually like their beads better than my Pandora ones, so mix and match!  Right now all I can do is think of sleep!  And lots of it!!

oh Kate's second dress was stunning too! i love the little cardigan she wore with it too! debi i am so pleased you bought some goodies! and a chamilla necklace and beads?! very lucky lady indeed!

Yes, Kate's second dress was gorgeous, too. I loved the little jacket that went with it.  And how they both drove out in their new car after the luncheon.  That was so cute!  The whole thing, in spite of it being royalty and tremendously expensive, seems so real to me.  And that is what I love about this wedding. It is all about love, like it should be!! 

Lou~We have these stores all around here called the Paper Stores.  They sell cards and some books, but lately have been focusing more on gifts like tons of fashion jewelry, candles, bath items and selling Pandora, Chamilia and Troll Beads.  And we now have one right here in town about 5 minutes away!  How dangerous is that??  They have been there for a while now so I am actually proud that I haven't turned my entire tarot collection into a bead one!  Could have been very tempting! 

I have no idea what I am doing today, but rather frustrated that it is windy again. My allergies are still kicking up and my eyes are killing me!  It is no fun going out when you look like you are crying all the time. My eye shadow is feeling very neglected these days!

oh my goodness they do sound dangerous now that you have one so close to you! i am still wanting a pandora bracelet - but they are so expensive to actually fill one up you know?

oh and sorry about your allergies! last week my eyes were watering like a bitch but they have been ok today :) i have had quite a boring day today. nick got called into work so i have been on my own with the kitties all day. i have done some cleaning. re-arranged my mac cabinet and then re-arranged my dressing table. i think i need one of those ikea helmer things because i have got so much stuff now - it's going everywhere!
 

^^ Which movie did you watch? Yeah the helmer makes my makeup storage a lot more organised. I bought two, both grey. 

I didn't get to see the part where the couple drove out after the luncheon. I must find it on youtube. I watched the whole thing until the kiss and it was very lovely. The carriage is amazingly grand and makes the whole thing fairytale-like! Have you ever seen a carriage, Lou? Like a royal one? I have never even seen a normal horse-drawn carriage lol. And I googled kate's second dress and love it! Very princess-like! Yeah the cardigan is gorgeous and feels so soft just by the look of it. I thought prince william was good-looking when he was younger too, but still not too bad now. Oh and I love Kate's earrings!

Debi- lol I heard the bbc commentator too. They stood quite a while at the balcony lol. 

I just watched the part where they drove out in the open-top car. It's a beautiful moment. :)

Well, William is part Diana, but he is also part Windsor, so he definitely will be carrying those traits. Let's hope their offspring break the habit and look more like Kate because she really is quite lovely.  What matters is his heart and soul, anyhow, and I think she will keep him in check. I am glad they waited and just seem so perfect for each other. 

Lou~What a fun day cleaning!  I love just opening my drawers and staring at my mu or pulling things out.  I am so thrilled that one of the ladies who has bought many of my more expensive decks has sent me a perfect condition, never used, MSF of By Candlelight!  What a perfect colour for pale me!  This thing has never even been swatched!  I would do a face except I have the attack of the cramps, so yucky me! 

I just watched a special on the making of the series The Game of Thrones. Another I need to add to my viewing list.  And I am about to rewatch The Name of the Rose.  Lou...it has more of the old 80's music!  Hehehe....  Sort of like Legend, Northanger Abbey and LadyHawke!  I love movies... 

Game Of Thrones is fantastic. I think you'll really enjoy it!

Well in the end we did a coin toss to see who could pick a film - sadly nick won and wanted to watch evil dead 2!! i had never seen it and after about 40 minutes i told him to turn it off. not because i was freaked but because it was just pure crap! so we put a simpsons dvd on instead! lol!

oh and yes there are lots of horse drawn carridges in the uk! generally you get them in touristy places such as london however more traditional gypsies actually live in the horse drawn cart things! i went in a horse drawn carriage when i was in wales when i was younger - just for a ride around the town!

oh wow by candlelight arrived?! you are very lucky! it is one of my favorite msf's! and here s a tip for you - if you want a really simple and nude looking eye just puts some by candlelight on your lids! super pretty and soft looking!
 

oh i love movies with the 80's keyboard music! so so funny! i am not sure what movie me and nick will watch tonight - our rentals got sent through and bad santa and assault on precinct 13 arrived. but we also have fringe and smallville to watch!

i have never seen this! i need to look into it :)
 

Thanks for the tip, Lou!  I swatched in and fell in a swoon! It is gorgeous and I am so excited. I feel spoiled and loving every moment of it! I only had Gold Deposit and Soft and Gentle, both which probably work a lot better with a NC complexion than NW. How jealous I get when I see people's collections and tons of MSF's. Do they not make them much anymore?  They really ought to have more fair skinned ones, as well as more for darker complexions. I'm still stunned she gifted me this!

Oh, cool about the gypsies, Lou!  I would love to know more!  I knew someone online who she and her husband, of European descent, travelled around England in their caravan, mostly in Dartmouth and Exmoor (I think I have that right).  Who are they all and where do they stay?  How long do they stay in one place and what do they do for a living?  Around the US that would be so illegal...a pity really.  The people I knew were artisans and they did have a website as well.  They sold their wares and travelled to shows or near towns/villages that truly appreciated their fine artwork.  How I envied them their simple life, but now they have bought a house and have stopped the travelling as their child is ready for schooling.

I have no clue about where they are from - many do seem to be Irish though. And they usually move on quite quickly because the local councils force them to.  i think it's a shame because some gypsies do have a bad reputation and some deserve it, but others are just nice people.  Oh and quite often they will run local fun fairs or if they live on a caravan site then they have normal jobs like window cleaning and factory work. stuff like that :)

Cool. Thanks for the Gypsies 101!  Hehehee...

Last night I was watching YouTube videos and stumbled onto one with and Inglot haul. Need I say more? I now have a pretty neutral e/s palette coming and my first blush palettes. Yes, palettes, because I could not keep it down to just 4.  Then got 2 of their creme blushes and said Debi...stop!!  But I look forward to them!!  I feel like I have exhausted Sephora for now!  But yeah over Sheseido e/s palettes. They are worth every cent.  I really love the pigmentation and unique colours!  The Flora and Fauna set is just gorgeous and I can't wait to use the others!!

Inglot have amazing things don't they!? i haven't ordered anything myself but their bright shadows drive me wild! i know that xsparkage uses some of their stuff - she seems to have a very similar taste to me in bright shadows and i trust if she is impressed they really are that good!

^^ Is it the Flora and Fauna quad? I've never bought a shiseido quad before but some of them look quite nice.

Thanks, Lou for the info on gypsies too. I didn't know they live in horse drawn carriages, I thought they live in caravans only. If I go to UK I will have a ride in the carriage as a tourist lol. :p 

Hi Lou!  We posted almost at the same time. No inglot here and I don't want to order so my wallet is safe. 

Lou~Yes, their colours look amazing and I love experimenting with different brands!  I started with a neutral palette of a few bases and various browns.  If I like them I would love to place a more colourful one in the future!  I read and watched a lot of reviews and swatches online before making any commitments. I am trying to be a smart shopper!  But it was fun to watch and learn.  I always enjoy the world of YouTube and blogs, etc.!!

Miss QQ~Yes the Flora and Fauna Quad. I posted pics on the Shop your Stash section. I should have done one with my eyes closed. I always forget that these days. I love that it really took right to my skin and yet was blendable. Always  good to know when you fork out big bucks for a palette.
