I had to close at work. It wasn't as bad as normal, but the worst part: waiting 20 minutes in the cold for my ride to get there...because my dad forgot I was closing!
The insanity though was truly at the XXI Forever (the larger Forever 21 stores)...we're talking a 20+ minute wait for a fitting room and a good 10 or so to pay. We waited a long time to get it at our mall, but yikes. I only bought a waist-cincher belt and a short-sleeved blazer today but they have some good stuff.

awesome to hear Susanne! My meds have fully kicked in and i only experience some slight eye-swollenness but not bad watery like before.
thanks a million Adina for the review/swatches! I am only getting Circa Plum. I feel the palettes are dupeable eventually so I shall pass for now.
Now like Coach said, I must I'm not sure if I want a whole jar or just a sample.
But I'm pumped, here in Canada that only costs ~26 with tax.
I know sonic chic, electroflash, starflash etc that will be a lot harder to choose.

Hello there Sisters! Happy Summer Solstice!
Dazzleglass Bimbo here reporting in! Sorry I've been away again - it seems one cannot even miss an hours worth of this thread! I've gotten swept away by the "Cool Heat" Collection these days. Hoping all is well with one and all!

Elegant...this is priceless! LOL!! I couldn't stop laughing...which made me wonder - no self respecting Bimbo thread would be complete without a good "Hairy Monkey Leg" anecdote!
Incidentally, does anyone know about the timing trick for leg shaving for a good shave when in the shower/bath. They say it's best to shave first thing or within the first 5 min of when you get in so that the hair follicle doesn't get too soft to cut. Thus, preventing ingrowns and allowing for a smoother result. Try to cut in the same direction that the hair grows in (although, I never follow this rule!). Always follow up with a great moisturizer.
With respect to underarm waxing - There is a numbing creme called C-Triple-Caine 20/6/4% 120mg - it's the most potent topical numbing cream on the market, unfortunately, prescription only. I use this on my face when I'm doing major projects.
You can also use TOPICAINE 4% - TOPICAL ANESTHETIC GEL: fast and effective skin numbing gel - this you can buy over the counter here's a link for it: www.TOPICAINE.com

Um...excuse me...but, don't they know who you are???
Do we need to send the proper documentation? We won't stand for it!
Someone is going to find themselves needing to send out their resume before the day is out!!!
This - I must admit - is a pain no numbing creme can cure!

eyebrows waxed? well whether you wear makeup or not, my waxer always cleans the spot with something on a cotton swab anyways--to make sure the wax adheres and pulls up the hairs.
for me, it was a lot of mind over matter. i thought it was going to hurt but didn't as much as i thought. they're fast and good. i felt a slight pulling sensation so it stung a bit, but not as bad as when you pull a hair out of your head

To me getting my brows done hurt worse than getting my nostril pierced...I have a lot of nerves in that area. Since you normally pluck, I would say that you would not have a ton of issues. You'll find that the after-plucking can be worse than the waxing itself. Nonetheless, I have to do it every four weeks since my brow hair grows so fast. I've been getting them waxed for 9 months now and no signs of slowing growth.
Awesome to hear that everybody is feeling better. Everybody else will hopefully be better within the next couple of weeks.
The hell that I had to go through to get my original learner's permit was bad. You have to have 5 sources of ID if you have never had state ID before...and it was hell trying to source them all. I think I used my high school yearbook, birth certificate, bank statement, one other paper document, and then my dad. Luckily after you have the first ID, you only need to take it when you renew. I'm just getting a straight-across ID card this time, because I know I won't be learning how to drive. I can't afford to without getting two more jobs-between car, insurance, and gas! I'll be spending the $81 a month on a bus pass for a long time to come.

hey kiki i feel your pain. i can't justify getting a car right now, as id be paying for the car itself, insurance, gas PLUS parking for my job (which is downtown) and that parking equals ~120 a month. so yeah like half of my money each month would go to transportation. whereas now, i can buy a bus pass for 71 and just suck it up on the bus. i hate the bus in summer when its plus 35*c but ill have to deal just to save money and pay for things. ugh.

I'm not looking forward to the week ahead, it's going to be a very busy week with DH not around much of the time. Good thing I can at least look forward to going to MAC to do my pre-order!

Hallelujah! I bought my first digital camera and am happy with it and can't wait to learn how to use some of the features. And my task in the next week or so is I want to take pics of my collection (lol I think its only us beauty-crazies who look forward to sharing our stuff with the rest of us!)
so its a Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS. Its a 10mp, HD. what i'm very pleased with is how its a great point-and-shoot right out of the box. i had bought an hp camera a couple years ago and wasn't happy how it took so long from the click of the button to taking the picture--and i want to take candid fast shots (i know now that this isn't a good company for cameras, and at staples they don't have any hp cameras anymore anyways at my local store)
lol can you tell i'm excited?

no, unfortunately not yet. lol i can point and shoot but its hard to take a pic of myself due to positioning (no flippable screen, i had taken that pic with my cell phone cam flipped down so i could see what it was taking).
but thanks purrty! hows the studying going? ugh i have one class to finish to actually finish my b.comm and with full time work and the occasional marking of exams, plus wanting to have some "me" time, I'm finding it hard to focus! and i think the summer weather doesn't help at all! :S

^^It's going OK, I studied pretty much all day yesterday and then went out with the girls last night. Finally saw SATC (which was awesome!!) and then had sushi and a drink. Pretty low-key, but I was out 'til 1:30 am, lol! Did a little more studying today and now I'm just taking a break before doing more. I've got a little over 5 weeks until the bar exam, but time sure is flying!

Since I know that there are a few cat lovers on here I thought I would share a pic of my cat Coach sunning himself today. I also posted this in the say cheese forum but I thought you all would enjoy this.
I think that he is so handsome!
