Bimbos unite!

Hannah, it's funny, because Lovestone is the only old MES I don't have and have any craving for. I'm not an Ether lover, either, though. I picked it up cheap at one point to try, and I only use it occasionally as liner.

...My boyfriend just came home, turned on the radio, and started dancing. I'm loving it. It's apparently Foreigner on the radio right now. Double Vision. OH MY GOD. HE IS SINGING. THIS NEVER HAPPENS. AHAHAHAHA.

Sorry. Good now.

Anyhow. My favourite three MES were Sea and Sky, Fresh Green Mix and Two to Glow (and I'm wearing all three right now!). I'm wearing Pleasantry blush, but wasn't blown away by any of them, especially not at $25 a pop. No purchases for me today, but that's good. I should have my credit card completely paid off by the end of the month, if work doesn't suck to death!

Lovestone is one of only two MES that I really am coveting, the other being Heat/Element. Luckily the latter of the two is being repromoed so I don't have to spend an arm and a leg for it. My goal is to have at least three more of the Holiday 2004 palettes by the end of the year. I have the Sak's Dazzle kit...but I need more. Katie loves Swarovski...

Bimbos, now that I have my Cool Heat, Electroflash and Sonic Chic I will make a trip with my b/f for some days. (We will drive with my car now

).

We will leave Sunday morning and come back next Thursday. Have a good time everyone!!

I will miss you.

 

[gigglegirl]

Have a good time Susanne!!

so Samantha, did you think (if they didn't cost $22) any of the mes that they put on you were worth it?

the deep blue of sea and sky looks so dang captivating!

 

[gigglegirl]

ummmm what the heck, do my eyes deceive me?

On the cdn site the mes are down to 21!! interesting...tempted to buy play on plums NOW! lol i know, its only a dollar diff

 

[gigglegirl]

So guys I thought I'd share here, mostly b/c my swatches suck (I don't know how to take good in focus up close pictures. sheesh)


Ive had questions about shisheido hydro power eyeshadows so on the above pic, the top is pink ingot metal x, 2nd row is bare pink shisheido (looks more brownish), lemon sugar shisheido,
bottom row is white lights from shisheido then fusion gold from metal x

bare pink, white lights, lemon sugar in the pots




so the top two (hard to see) is the two sides of love connection.
bottom row is kitten from stila for reference, then engaging duo below love connection, then pink split.

as you can see, i was VERRRRY wrong to compare engaging to love connection. i love love (lol) connection much better!!

kitten, love connection
engaging, pink split

I'm so glad you're ok Susanne!

I had a car accident a few years ago. A man was in the wrong lane and hit me. Luckily I just had shock and whiplash but driving has never been the same for me since.

I'm seriously considering getting Play on Plums now...that and, thanks to kimmy's swatch, Two to Glow. They both look like fantastic fall colors - I'm thinking they could be what I sub for Cult of Cherry. My own MES quad (minus the fact that they wouldn't be situated all together).

Welcome trammie!!

We love new Bimbos!

Hi Ladies! Finally get a chance to sit down, little ones are out and DH is away.

Susanne, have an amazing time!

Coach, love your avatar pic, you look hot!

Gigglegirl, or for anyone else that likes plummy lips, you all need to try Major Minor l/g over Mellow Mood! I'll be hitting MAC yet again on Monday as I didn't have my gc with me today to get this! And a back-up of Fast Thrill, thanks to my still very large stash of empties! I still have enough to get the two lippies I want from Cult of Cherry and one (possibly two) e/s I want from Starflash!

Other than cashing in my empties, this MAC addict, blush addict in particular will be curtailing the hauling in a big big way for the rest of the year.

Oh, and I got my warm eyes palette from Colour Forms today, seriously seriously pretty.

The deep blue of sea and sky is gorgeous. It's rich and nicely pigmented. Both sides of the fresh green mix are rather pretty, and I was surprised at how much I like Two to Glow. The one side is a lovely orangey-peachy colour, and the other side is more muted, but still very nice. If the MES were still $20 (or I had more money), I'd probably go for all three of them. I know it's a matter of $6, but that ends up being closer to $7 after tax, and... it just irks me. It seems $20 for a MES is my reservation price, yo! (Have I mentioned there's a wee economist in my heart?

).

Hurray Susanne, have a good trip!

Welcome Trammie... *mumbles something about fresh meat and cackles*

I'm pretty excited to see Heat/Element coming back out. Those are the kind of colours I am all over. Hannah, if you decide you want rid of lovestone, let me know and I'll be sure to send more along for shipping this time since we now know better.

So... my cat. We ran out of food for her. As such, boyfriend-man cooked a hamburger and cut it up for her. When he put it down for her, she sniffed it, turned around and scratched at the floor to cover the burger! Talk about a spoiled little beast! ...Nevertheless, though, I was rather amused.

Just wanted to let you know that I am still updating our list on page 1, # 7

It's true! They ARE down to $21! I wonder if they weren't selling as well as expected, and as such they dropped the price? I mean, $2 translates to 10% of the previous price, and that's a pretty substantial jump. I'm definitely more inclined to consider buying them at a price of $21 rather than $22. I still don't know, though.

Also, have I mentioned that I think the 181 brush is freaking adorable!? I'm excited for mine to show up in the mail!

EDIT: Also, trying to charge $22 in Canada while the same product is $17.50 in the US is outrageous.

Clearly, you don't spend enough in the Chatter subforum.

Welcome!

 

[Sanayhs]

I love that you're keeping the list up to date, Susanne.

Also, bimbos! This thread is exactly two months old now! Go us!

 

[gigglegirl]

AND we are nearing ever closer to 100 pages!!!

I know, isn't it insane that $1 makes me want it more.

I want 3 more sonic chic blushes, b/c to be honest, dainty freaking rocks the socks off ALL my other blushes. I *LOVE* it more than *GASP* my bpbs!.

Yep, I am totally getting more and its killer that this week friday is payday. but at least I know with the jacked up cdn prices, chances are I don't have to worry about them running out!!

so thats 75 (3 blushes) + 21 (or22 if I buy play on plums in store) and with tax I'm over 100. lovely. but at least if i do decide to buy online, I don't have to worry about the package melting in the heat outside!
