Lollll. And I'm someone where if you're fishing for sympathy you're not getting it. Like when I walk in the room the intensity suddenly increased?? Before that first ambulance ride I came home from work early because he wanted to go to the ER. I hear him in the shower so I ate my lunch that I brought home. Then I'm like, he's taking too long. I go in there and he's laying in the tub...asleep. Except I thought worse. I nearly kicked him when I realized what happened. He also was in the shower for pain relief :sigh:. I can chuckle now, but so not funny at the time!
Haha, omg that is SO true about the intensity increasing when you walk in! Same same same! Id poke my head in to check on him, all of a sudden his moaning and groaning would start right back up . In retrospect it's all comical, but it can be so annoying and even scary when it's happening. I'm the same, if you're acting up just to get sympathy, I shut down. I can't with the drama queen act from a grown man lol

Okay the regular. I'll have to see both and decide which coverage I prefer.
I think I read here that you're dry?? Or am I making that up lol make sure you use something very hydrating before bc it tends to cling to dry patches! I'm dry too but I still love this foundation. I tend to mix it with a dewy foundation so that I get more of a satin finish rather than matte. The coverage is very medium- full tho. Double wear mixed with armani luminous silk is life tho :love: also, if you wanna try something very similar to double wear - just try loreal pro matte from the drugstore! It's a great dupe. I haven't touched my double wear since getting the loreal one :)

Omg that is too funny, especially when you wanted to kick him, I know that feeling! Twice my husband said he was having a heart attack, called emt just anxiety. A shot of Valium and he was fine, grrrr. He's a drama queen sometimes. I have to be dying to go to er. And I go by myself, once and it was serious. :shock:
Omg they're all the same! Wahhhh! We're tough cookies.

Exactly! I was worried at the time because for him to want to go to the hospital it had to be intense since he hates dr's.

I am dry. Oh is this the one that sticks to dry patches? I remember you saying that. Thanks! I'll check out the drugstore ones! Dilly recommended a CG one...

She's adorable! Get her started young! I wore it today and it's perfect,
Oh, I know! She's been wearing Stila lip glaze since she was less than a year old. Even her dad is encouraging her. Last night he came home with more lip gloss and Frozen nail polish. 6!! bottles of nail polish. Haha!

Wasn't hard candy in expensive department stores when it first came out? I thought I saw them at Neimans back in the day. Or was that some other "colorful" brand. I don't think I bought any of their polishes.
Yeah, they were! I remember one of the only places to buy it in Canada was at Holt Renfrew. Can you imagine a brand like Hard Candy being sold alongside Tom Ford, Clé de Peau, Armani, Dior, Guerlain, etc. now? The thought amuses me.

Okay so passed by Target this morning. All the darker foundations in the mainstream lines were sold out, lmao! CG Queen had some but seriously, I didn't have the patience to go through them, lmao. The L'Oreal you mentioned doesn't even look like it goes up to my skintone. I decided that I need a long-wearing for the summer. Today I'm wearing the Smashbox Studio Skin (4.1) from the sample I got yesterday and I like it. Definitely need a beauty blender for it though, streaky with a foundation brush. I'm willing to try a drugstore equivalent but it's always the hassle of finding your shade without trying that annoys me. That's why I've always done MAC or Avon. Which nothing is wrong with my Avon, their Magix Cashmere Advanced Foundation is so good, shit, it's on sale for $5.99, I need to grab another one. LOL.

"Meet your match! The cashmere-soft feel you love… now with new skin brightening benefits. Advanced new formula gives skin an instant radiance. 70% of women saw more radiant, younger-looking skin. After 4 weeks of use, spots and discolorations appeared diminished.

Brightens complexion and creates a pore-free, line-free and shine-free look. Leaves skin feeling ultrasoft and moisturized with a natural finish. SPF 15*. 1 fl. oz. "

I emailed sephora so I'm hoping they can figure out why my points were not added
Could it be that because they add your points when you have stuff in your cart up at the top, when you placed the order you were expecting it to go up? I noticed that when I was placing my UD blush order a couple days ago. Maybe it happens when you progress a little further than the cart. But it definitely updated my points before I was completely done with my order.

Have you tried MAC's Pro Longwear? It is very long wearing.

I was just saying that a day or so ago! I was made hip to their shadows by a friendly SA when I was looking for companion eye shadows for the Naked 3 palette and I have since found some winners in their line. Their eyeliners are nice as well.

Enjoy your goodies!!!
When Sephora changed their shadows to that new packaging I swear they reformulated the shadows as well. If you buy 2 shadows you get a free 3 well compact. If you purchase 4 you get a 6 well compact. I have 6 filled 3 well compacts (18 shadows) and one filled 6 well. I still have atleast 2 more empty ones.The compacts are VERY sturdy and travel very well. I will post pics and swatches when I get back home. Told you guys after lipsticks I love me some shadows.

You should try Lancome Teint idole. amazing color range and extremely long wearing. Easier to apply than studio skin. full coverage and matte finish

I only have 4 of their shadows and one of the [free] 3-palettes but I just ordered another eye shadow during the sale and a 6-well so they could all live together, lol. I couldn't justify purchasing two additional shadows for the free 6-well at that point. Sounds like you own most of the shades Dilli, lol, but for anyone else whose curiosity is piqued below is a great link to swatches of the line, although I think some of the shades are now d/c (if you look at the site since the sale, some of the shadows like "My Boyfriend's Jeans" aren't listed anymore.)

Okay ladies. I need your expert opinions haha. I am going back and forth between two options for an everyday foundation. Should I go with the coverfx drops mixed with LM radiance primer? Or MAC face and body? I'm looking for long lasting and dewy. Any opinions between the two?
