On a happier note I got my new supremes from MAC, but still need to try them on!  Ooh, just tried the pumpkin-like coloured one on.  lol Weird, but kinda fun!  Good for a unique autumn fairy look! Sheer Mandarin.  Looks like something that nasty lady in Edward Scissorhands would wear.  Super funky. lol Hehehe....  I think I will sneak up on hubby in the other room and scare him.  :)

what the heck is wrong with this person?! Debi I never see you say anything nasty on facebook so what the heck is she talking about?!  You need to get the heck off there as soon as possible. How dare she send you a threatening letter!

Oh the pumpkin looking one is calling out to me as well! I have no idea why and i don't think it will suit me but the colour is so different from anything else i have! enjoy!!

we went out for a meal last night which was very nice :) i had some pear cider! woo hoo! now i only have two days left of wqork until my day off! i will enjoy my sunday off for sure because i have to work all 6 days next week - my am is having a weeks holiday so i have to come in each day!
 

Well, slander and defamation are illegal, so definitely wise not to be a part of it.

No one is slandering her.  She has been very nasty to forumers since the beginning, always judging people, bullying them and not at all what a moderator should be. Helpful and compassionate are the last words I would ever use to describe her.  So a bunch who have recently been attacked decided to voice their opinions on a private conversation on FB, and one apparently finked them out and gave her the names of who was on the list. I never received an invite list but suddenly I got the pop-ups of every person's comments. I finally figured out how to drop out of the group and left a few days ago.  I told her my opinion, she and I had it out on our own ages ago, so my feelings towards her are no surprise to her.  But she has not written since.  I told her to get her facts straight before attacking me on something I didn't even participate on.  In the meantime I have begun cutting down my FB friends that originated from AT and are still active there as well as any trouble makers. For heaven's sake, I use FB to chat with friends, family and play Fairy Land. How harmful is that?  I have no fears. FB isn't going to do anything for her. She needs to cool off and learn to take what she has dealt out numerous times. Gosh I hate that place.  But I am in the middle of transactions and can't just leave.  I have sales going on right now with buyers.  You don't just walk away from that, especially when they have money orders coming to me in the mail. 

Anyhow!  Another gorgeous day though a bit warmer.  Hubby took the day off to get yard work done and I am nursing a sore shoulder, so it is books and simple pleasures for me as I watch the dust accumulate on my furniture! 

Lou~The pumpkin one is a riot. I love the colour, will never wear it out, wish that I could!  lol  Yellow orange lips! But I will find a good use for it. Makes a nice Thanksgiving or Halloween lipstick! I was playing with them last night. I am also head over heels with Dior Ultra Glosses and have begun a small collection of them!  Lots of pretty shimmer and very colourful!  I love it when I discover another awesome product! 

Time for a late breakfast! We slept in!  :)

sorry about all the issues with this lady Debi. She seems like a piece of work!!

what has everybody got planned for the weekend? tomorrow i am working (shocker yes!?!) and on sunday i shall be staying home and relaxing. partly due to no money and also because i have a few blog posts to write and me and nick shall watch some movies.  hopefully it will be a fun day!

She is just being a pain as usual, but to attack me (and oddly singled me out, so I am trying to figure that one out) for something I didn't even do, I just don't get it.  But I told her off and she has been silent. I think she knows that she can't really touch me now.  I don't want to be on the forum, so she can't threaten to kick me off and make me upset. I don't think she expected me to say I was leaving.  And she has no jurisdiction on FB so not quite sure what she is even thinking. But I document everything weird that goes on online and printed the letter up.  I find it all stupid and immature.

So hubby went out to run errands before working on the yard and came home with 2 OPI nail polishes from the new collection. lol  Wasn't expecting that!  I just put one on and it is not quite coral, but rather a browned up pink with a tinge of coral to it. We sat there staring at it on my nails trying to decide how to describe it.  Too funny as we started to get a bit silly over it!  I have no idea what the weekend plans are. I would love to shop a bit, but payday is the 15th, so only a little bit maybe.  It is tax-free weekend for our state, but it doesn't matter too much because no one has any money to spend!  Though I would love to get a few things I have my eye on (little stuff) without paying tax.  But one has to factor in the cost of using gas.  And we actually live closer to a mall in New Hampshire and they are tax free year round, soooo!  Who knows!!  Hopefully something fun, but it will be pretty hard to match watching HP7 part 2 from last week!  I am still psyched that I got to see it!  :) 

Oh, and I want to start a MU blog.  Any suggestions for the best place.  Blogger can be such a pain sometimes.  There must be something better out there....

HI everyone! It's been a while - I've been keeping busy!

I'm glad to hear that the riots are slowing down in London - I can't believe the things that people do sometimes! Stay safe everyone...

Debi, you always have such crazy stories from this forum! Good thing it looks like you'll be out of there soon - documenting everything is definitely your safest bet right now!

I'm off again - helping the soon-to-be-in-laws re-do their kitchen counter and cupboards! :D

lol I have been in so many forums and chats and that place is the only place I every have had problems with. I have come to the conclusions that 99% of them are mental and I need to get out fast. 

On a fun note. Bonding with my MU. :)  In love with lipliner and wondering why I don't use it more. And pressed powder. Now I see why way back in the olden days (the 50's, hehehe) women would scuttle off to the bathroom to powder their nose.  I am in love with pressed powder now!  That oh so finished look. Of course, I forgot to use concealer on my dark shadows and it shows.  But here I am!

oh that was so sweet of your hubby to get you some polish!! very thoughtful of him indeed! enjoy the colours! the browny pink coral sounds lovely! what is it's name? and as far as a blog i use worldpress for the specktra one and have never had any issues so far. perhaps that could be an option? :)

Lou - I've just watched your latest video on Naked palette. Very pretty and it gives me ideas. I saw on my local sephora Facebook that new stocks of the palette came in yesterday. I will go take a look again later but I don't know if I will buy it. Still no sign of the anniversary palette here. You also use nars multiple in the video. I'm interested in getting one. Can you tell me more about them? Which do you have and how do you use them? As highlighters or blush or bronzer? I saw this cream and I thought the packaging is so cute. There is one with Lou-Lou and a cat on it. Thought you will like it.

http://rougedeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/08/steam-cream-at-bhg-bugis-japan-korea.html

I've been busy the past three days at work and I got a backache and arms and hand pain for working at the computer without moving. But I had a nice meal last night. Had an apple and rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream and love it. I saw this dish on cooking shows and competition, Masterchef from the UK and Ive been hunting for it. Before this I never heard of rhubarb!

How is everyone? Hope you have a good weekend!

 

Thanks for watching the video sweetie! I am happy it gave you ideas :) sometimes i worry the makeup i do is not fancy enough, but then i think perhaps people prefer to see simple things they can easily do on a day to day basis.  I love the nars multiples and have a blog post coming up on them! nick bought me the mini set and i have luxor (highlighter one), orgasm (blush one) and malibu (bronzer one).  I really like using them. They are very creamy but dry down quite quickly. The malibu one also looks great as a shadow base or just on it's own on the lids for a bronzey look. Orgams is my fave though because i use it sometimes as a base for the blush. i like to apply them with clean fingers too. I never dab it staright onto my face.  Or is use the mac 130 brush... the one that is like a 188 but short and fat!  You can also use them on the lips - i used orgasm on the lips before and because it dries down it wasn't that comfy to wear on it's own :)

and how cute is that lou lou cat pot?! in fact all the stuff in that post looks awesome! i would love to try brands that are not from the uk! thanks for sharing the link :)

i'm sorry you are dealing with backache though - perhaps you can rest it over the weekend. i always use a heat pad if my back starts to hurt - it really helps. or a hot bath :) and rhubarb is awesome!! i love rhubarb crumble and yougurt! enjoy!
 

oh the multiples post went livetoday! good timing! check it out here -

i'm pleased you liked reading it :) 

work dragged so much today. i just wanted to get home to nick and have a cuddle. we have also decided that we shall have take out for dinner but not sure where from... hhhmmmm!
 

They have a normal lasting time, and like makeup in general they last longer with a primer, and longer still set with a powder, translucent or otherwise.  I love Malibu at the same time on eyes cheeks and lips alone, and to last, set with a pressed powder.. on lips with a bit of lip balm on top.

yeah lip balm is certainly needed because they can be drying on the lips :)
 

Another busy day with the hubby!  Today we slept in and then took advantage of the tax free weekend and hauled. LOL  He got some stuff for his closet and office area and may pick up more tomorrow and I went to MAC and Nordstrom. While swatching in the Dior section the MUA of Chanel (who is so talented and such a dear) came over to me and said new things had come in so if I had time come over and play. So we played. We bought, we had fun, we exchanged emails.  lol   I got some great free goodies, too, so it was a bit like Christmas!  Lots of fun, but the day was hot and humid, so here I am with my FOTD and my hair frizzing up!  Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!  I still want cold weather!!

Miss QQ~The liner is UD Ransom. I love that they don't budge on me!  My haul is up on the haul section under "Tax Free Weekend Haul"!  If I had more money it would have been even better, but suddenly about 5 more people put up their entire tarot collections for sale so I am soooo glad that I didn't wait until summer to do mine. One doesn't seem to be selling at all, though I dropped the price by 20.00, and it has been up for a while, so I will take that off the market.  One last view of my collection and finish the transactions going on and I might finally be done selling. 

Cloudy, warm, humid but expecting storms later and then cooler weather.  Summer and fall are definitely starting to battle it out and I am excited!

I also put on some of my new Essie and having better luck this time around.  My last one was super streaky and decided to give Essie another try since so many rave about it.  My poor OPI looked great but chipped within 24 hours on several fingers.  And 2 coats you could still see the whites of my nails. I just feel like OPI is watering down their product these days.  Anyhow, if I get the chance today I will get more Essie. If not I will later on this week!!  I am so glad the closest drugstore to us now carries it!!  I just wish I could find a place that sell NYX.  :(

Whatwouldjoando - thanks. Will you recommending bring a multiple on the go for touch up? I always set my makeup with powder so that should be good.

Debi - lovely fotd! What purple eyeliner is that? It is hot and humid here today too! And the air was very bad with smoke and dust. So what makeup did you buy and got free? So fun!

In the end we had a pizza for dinner with some chicken on it - twas quite nice. :)  Tonight we are having a healthy meal of meat free chilli to make up for it! :)

i need to check out your haul! and i have ransom and it is such a pretty purple! enjoy it! :) and you can buy nyx online at that cherry culture site... not sure if you wanted to buy online though. i am wishing that we had milani here - they have so many awesome products!!
 

Maybe I'll order presents for myself using the nars discount code, then photograph my stuff for makeup show and tell lol.  I feel like I don't do enough actual sharing. ... Also, after seeing the Christmas brush set from NARS (Deb, it seems like you have the funds so you oughta consider indulging in this artisan luxury, wrapped in black wisteria) I may try and get a bento box from China town to sleekly organize my makeup ... I'm just not into the plastic drawers and do like a sorta clean/modern style/feng shui approach, maybe I need a wealth ship for my cosmetics area lol!

So far the NARS brush set isn't calling to me at all. I have so many brushes from Sigma and MAC and the oldest one is 7 months old, so they are still very new. Plus I have a mini set not yet used and another full Sigma set not yet used.  I am stacked for a while!  I have such a wishlist but it is often things I need to swatch or little bits and pieces that I want from various brands or even drugstore goodies to try out.  And my birthday and Christmas will be here soon, so keeping that in mind always!!! I am a list maker and that helps organize my shopping and wishlist! 

Lou~I may have to resort to online for NYX. I was hoping someone would carry it so I could just try a few things. I love the Jumbo pencils but using the UD more lately.  I really don't NEED anything.  At least not from them.  It is more a curiosity factor to just try out something.  But the low cost isn't worth it if I can't see the product or have to order and pay shipping whereas almost everything else now I can pick up at stores regularly.  Yay for malls!  :)

no doubt with all those new brushes. lists are great!

i saw the brush set from nars too and although lovely i don't think i shall get it. i want the mini set of pencils though and i think that i would like the night shadows palette as a christmas gift :) and i should post more pics too - i am usually so busy and pooped from doing pictures for the blog and youtube stuff though.  Oh and MissQQ I shall be uploading a Urban Decay Plaette video next Monday :)

Lol! Yeah I know what it is like just wanting to try things! I have some of the jumbo pencils which are nice. I also really love the lip glosses! the smell like cherry! :)
 

Today is the first day of my 6 day working week. ugh! however it is sooo sunny today which has put me in an excellent mood. i have also had a yummy breakfast too - greek yogurt with honey and a spoon full of oats added! yum!! :)

Have a great week everybody!

Lou - Your breakfast sounds delicious. How long do you have to work 6-days week? I look forward to your video! I saw the pics of nars holiday. I wish I can have the mini eye pencils.

Debi - Ransome is beautiful on you. I have a mini one from the NYC bos but I haven't been using it. I will pull it out! Great haul! Is that quad Vanities?

good intentions, but no photos taken, instead: got a new skirt, skincare, makeup ... I had some pretty great breakfasts too: peach raspberry crepes saturday and a requested repeat: peach blueberry crepes on sunday with french pressed coffee: Starbucks verona my fav :-)

Just waking up after a super nutty evening/night.  Around 5:30pm a perfectly healthy looking tree decided to fall over the wires and blow up the transformer on the road above us. Now all our lines are underground, but those aren't, so we and loads of other people were left without electricity.  We had no dinner yet and I was desperately needing the heating pad for some very nasty cramps. We had to quickly shift to the local hotel and I was dying from cramps and trying to get comfy in our room and figure out how to get the stupid TV to work while my husband went back and forth from house to hotel room (only 5 minute drive) to bring us food, necessities, etc.  We just got groceries on Sunday morning, had to toss them all out except for what we could fit in the little fridge in the hotel room.  He spoke with the police and they said it would not be fixed until this morning.  Well, I was in pain, he was wired and could not sleep, finally we kept calling ourselves until the answering machine came on (needs electricity) and he went over to talk to the police again, who said the workers were just finishing up, etc., so shifted back home around 2am.  By 3:30 I was sound asleep and he was taking a shower and bustling around the house-I never even heard it. My pain had eased up and I just crashed solid! When we came home lights were in all the houses...everyone is exhausted and stressed, a huge baby shower had to end early, everyone needs new groceries. What an awful way to start the week.  2 years ago we had a severe ice storm which knocked out our electricity for 3 days and stayed with my MIL. I told my husband twice we needed to get a generator and be prepared and that I would pay for it. He said no. This time if he doesn't get one in a few weeks I will get it myself. So....life is a bit wonky right now!  (Lou...I am so proud of myself for finding a sentence I can use that word in.  lol) 

I hope everyone is having a much better Monday than me!  Yes, Miss QQ~That is Vanites and the colours are gorgeous!!  Lou~Have you ever tried Dior Glosses? They have some gorgeous colours with beautiful glitter.  They floor me with their beauty and wear so well!  A nice Christmas treat for you (hint, hint, Nick!)

Oh I am so sorry about your terrible night. As if the cramps weren't bad enough! did the hotel manage to get you a heat pad or hot water bottle? usually staying at a hotel should be exciting - but not when you are sick and have been pushed out of your home. sorry all your food had to be tossed too. can you claim it back on insurance? and i am so pleased you got to use the word wonky!! hee hee! :) love it! well not your life being wonky of course.... :)

and i would love to try some of the dior glosses! i never have before but they do look beautiful! poor nick will have a huge list this year! :p lol! i have no clue what to get for him... i am thinking a super cool new coffee machine...
 

lol Lou~I am so proud of my Wonky sentence. Hehehe.  One day we will get you to use Milkweed in one of yours. :)  I brought my own heating pad. I have 5 of them. Sometimes they suddenly die so I figured this would last me a very long time. They have new ones that shut off automatically every few hours and that is no good for me, so I found my favourite kind and stocked up last year!  And the hotel stunk.  Livable for a very short period, but certainly nothing fancy. We just needed to get me to electricity ASAP and not worry about style! I am so glad we are home and so tired, but still in a lot of pain and nervous as we are having a wind/rain storm. 

I keep thinking and writing out my own birthday/Christmas list.  Hubby is going to have such fun going into Sephora, MAC and a few other places. Torture! He is lazy and I usually have to shop for most of my things, which is not fun nor is Christmas morning a surprise, so this year I told him he has to get everything for me.  I always have surprises and ideas for him and every package is unexpected but good. I make a list every year, but end up doing the shopping myself for me.  I hate it. No more.  He better not fail me!!  As for the Dior Glosses they are, imo, even better than the Chanel, except maybe feel a tad gooer, but they also last longer on me.  LOVE them.  Now I get the whole "Dior Addict" name.  :)

Oh I have one for you - Milkweed freaks me out! how about that?! hee hee! And you are like me - when i find something that works i stock up enough to last me a lifetime!! :) And i am happy you are home and more comfortable! tell that hubby of yours to get a generator asap!

And it is silly that we are thinking about the festive season already... well just the gifts part really! lol! Nick is pretty good and does actually buy my gifts himself... all be it online! he does usually go to lush for me though which is super sweet of him. although i secretly think he likes the ladies fussing over him and helping him pick things out :) lol!

i am also super excited tonight because i'm being sent some super awesome products this week that i can't wait to test out! :) as soon as they arrive i shall share some pictures! :)

How nice!  I would love someone to send me stuff to try out! I must get my blog up and going once these cramps abate.  No MU today, but I smell pretty!   :) 

Yes, I plan to send hubby to Bath and Body works, Sephora, Nordstrom (they are nice and know he is my husband so will help him out) and other good places. But I also get B'day money so can use that for a spending frenzy!!  A long way away, but more than enough MU to use between now and then!!!  Sometimes I just open my drawers and smile and anything bad in life just floats away and everything is pink and glittery again!  :)
