Bimbos unite!

So I went to my boring luncheon yesterday *gag* I spent 2 days giving myself a beautiful manicure & pedicure topped with OPI Japanese Rose Garden, a pretty white sundress with matching white leather wedge shoes, Perky Kate Spade little pink hand bag, spent too much time doin my makeup....get in the car (cause ya know hubbies are always ready early & just sit in the car wondering what the heck you're STILL doing)...we're almost at the place...& I look down to see that..OMG I forgot to shave my legs! HAHAHA Oh the HORROR

Ack, what a pair of monkey legs! We died laughing

 

[gigglegirl]

oy girl, i cannot imagine what I'd do if I had done that. Died and not gotten out of the car? prob. I hate my legs anyways so I'd prob not be wearing a dress anyways.

I'm sure you looked smashing at any rate!

After I got there, I was glad that I wore a sundress, cause they had part of it outside in full sun...uggh it was so hot. But, I guess that was good for me because most were wearing sunglasses - dark glasses = can't see hairy monkey legs.

That is something that I would do! Seriously!!! And if it's not the legs, it's the arm pits! But the outfit sounds amazing, so I bet nobody noticed a little hair on the legs!

Oh, the dreaded armpits...can they come up with something not painful that will just remove armpit hair uh, permanently :0

How was the soccer game?

Ah, the soccer... well, it's always really cute since it's a group of 3 and 4 yr olds and they all just chase the ball! But my little guy doesn't really seem that into it, and he starts day dreaming out on the field! We're always yelling from the side line for him to ruuuunnnn!!! It was also picture day, and when we tell our little guy to smile, he squishes his face and his eyes get all squinty and he basically looks like he's straining to get something out, if you follow me! So, i don't think we even got a decent picture! I don't think he's a very sporty kid, not yet anyway. He's more the artsy type. Seems he takes after his momma! Now my daughter on the other hand, look out!

I am so self-conscious about my legs it is not funny, but if anything they're drier than hairier. I am having to apply lotion at least 3 times a day because it is horrendously humid right now. At least it's how I justify buying 10 or so bottles of lotion during one of our sales.

The yellow trench is truly drool-worthy. They also had a lighter yellow Anne Klein one, and both of the trenches came in other colours. My venerable winter jacket finally gave up the ghost this last year (I had it since I was 12...it lasted 8 years almost) so I need a new one. The other one I have is nice, but WAY too big. My mom made me get it in an X-Large...granted it was back when I was 15, and I was a good 30 pounds heavier than what I am now. But now it is so ridiculous it's not funny.

Lol, at the monkey legs!!

Totally something I'd have done, too! I'm sooo bad about shaving my legs because a) I hate doing it - takes way too much time and b) I always get ingrown hairs no matter what I do. I've resorted to using Nair (since waxing is just too expensive, even for the home treatments and permanent hair removal is out of the question until I pay those school loans of) and Nair works pretty darn well. I'm fortunate enough to have fairly light colored hair anyway, so usually a couple days' growth doesn't really show, as long as my legs are well moisturized. Now much past that, it gets gross.

 

[elegant-one]

^^^me too, especially with the ingrowns - its the last thing i want to take time doing..geesh.

Does that Nads hair removal wax work?

I have one of those lil shavers that pulls the hair out by the root - which works great & your legs stay hair free for much longer - but its soooo time consuming & doesn't get ALL the hairs. TOO painful for the underarms though..ouch

I shave, always have done it, and it's what I prefer. I am too much of a baby to get them waxed, I can barely tolerate getting my brows done! Plus I use a 3/1 (body wash, bubble bath, shampoo) as a shaving cream and it not only works amazingly to get a nice close shave but my legs are soft as silk afterwards.

I don't know...I used the Bliss at home wax kit, but it's expensive ($40) and it takes pretty much one kit to do both full legs, so that's $40/month. Plus, then there's waiting for the hair to grow out long enough to wax, which is long enough to be gross. Nair is much, much more reasonably priced and can be used with minimal growth - and the bonus is I don't get ingrown hairs!

Hi girls!

Has anyone here ever had their underarms waxed? I am really interested in doing that because I can shave my underarms and then look like I have a 5 o'clock shadow minutes later. I feel like I can never get a close shave on my underarms but I have heard that underarm waxing is extremely painful.

 

[gigglegirl]

thanks coach! to hear someone feels the same about underarms. its like i shave in the shower but don't want anything that could possibly show pits b/c i feel there is hairs starting to poke out asap.

ive heard of ppl waxing but my god, i tried plucking just one or two hairs (to see how deep the roots are) and SHNIEKIES its long! (in my opinion!)

i just came to hang out with my bimbos, as i finished marking final exams today. ugh wow. i feel like perhaps i'm a tough marker, the average for the papers i marked hovers around 48.5%. ouch. *shrug* I wrote the prof an e-mail about my findings, it is accounting so its sometimes expected if some people REALLLY don't understand!

now to make my mac wishlist!

 

[coachkitten]

Ohhh...let us know what you put on your MAC wishlist. I am curious to know what you all are interested in for the next few collections!

I think i did my pits once before my honeymoon, but i really can't recall if it was overly painful, so maybe no more than other areas (get my arms done every 2 months, don't find it that bad at all). But i hear ya all about the pits! I shave them and even if they feel smooth, they're still kinda dark, i just don't care anymore, especially if it's stinkin' hot out.

Now for my MAC wishlist...

Here goes:

Colour Forms
Pop Circle
Warm Eyes
Circa plum pigment

Sonic Chic
Pleasantry
Gentle
Dainty

Electroflash
Fast Thrill
Mellow Mood (both B2M)

Starflash (All B2M)
Dreammaker
Mink + Sable
Lotusland
Sunset B

Maybe Orpheus eye kohl

Overrich
Vintage Gold
Heritage Rouge (sample)

Cult of Cherry
Spiced Chocolate quad

I've thought about these all long and hard and I think i can stick to this list from now till the end of the year!

 

[gigglegirl]

I'm still hemming and hawing on what my max is, so the list is always changing. but if money was no object, SERIOUSLY stv your list is so freaking similar if not identical to my first list. wow. i really like the look of the coral lipstick in the lip palette. DREAMY! and circa plum (I'm thinking this is a forsure) but I have a few weeks to make the final list.

for me, sonic chic is my priority, I wanted to get Shy Beauty but they sold out after I placed the order. boo. but I think I will get 2. maybe 3 (MAX) mineral blushes. but I'm usually an eyes girl.

Seriously, I just got paid yesterday, and I'm on the search for a digital camera (my thing is I want one that point and clicks fast--I have two dogs who do spur-of-the-moment cute things that I couldn't catch with an HP camera I bought but then returned) and THEN I'm going to share with you all my crazy collection.

Maybe then by seeing it all laid out instead of somewhat nicely stored, I can face the fact that my collection needs to cool.

this has become more of a struggle lately, and ESPECIALLY in anticipation of the, what 10 collections that come out within two days of each other? (correction, i think its only 3)

Lol! It sure feels like 10 collections coming out next week. It's definitely going to be tough getting all of what I want simply because it's all coming out so soon after cool heat and all at once. But with all the B2M stuff I'm getting later, it should balance out over time (one hopes!).

Unfortunately, i've tried taking inventory of my stash (my DH refers to my collection as my stash!), but even that hasn't slowed me down much. It's that fear of missing out on something, such a silly fear really! What will really happen if we don't get that one product that we're desperate to have in our collection anyway?!

For me, I think the thing that will really slow me down is when we really start thinking about getting a new house.

 

[coachkitten]

So after seeing Adina's swatches and review (which were AMAZING BTW) I think that I am going to get Female Richmetal Highlighter and Play Around Pink color form powder and that is ALL. I might also get samples of the pigments from a seller here on Specktra but none of them are unique enough to justify me getting a WHOLE jar.

As for Sonic Chic I think that I might get pleasantry, merrily, gleeful, and gentle. And I MIGHT get one of the New View powders in Light.

Am I right that it is just Color Forms, New View, and Sonic Chic coming out on July 10th?

Wow I really toned my list down quite a bit! Plus I am REALLY hoping that they get some good stuff in at my local CCO. With all of the talks of solar bits and dazzleglasses showing up at the CCO I want to spend some money on backups.

Yay! Wonder what all you ladies think about the collection now that I swatched it all?

 

[coachkitten]

I think that overall it is a gorgeous collection. But I think that it appeals more to the average Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopper than us hardcore MAC addicts. Which I think is totally fine. I just think that for me personally that most of the products look dupable with other products I already have. I think that most of my July MAC budget is going to go towards Sonic Chic.
