I'm sorry to anybody I offended and post your numbers darn it! Last day of the sale! I will stick to being the accountant and I still want to see the outcome dagnabit.

So sorry to hear about your family's lose. I will pray for your family, fiance and you. I know you will be blessed later to get all the goodies you so desire. I couldn't spend much due to no job and the economy, but when that great job comes thru and I put some money aside I will have fun during the next sale...plus I should be down to a few lippies by then and I will buy the ones needed to raise the balance. (lol).

Ooh...Thanks!!! I was on the fence between the zebra and the tiger bag, and it's hard to pick when you haven't seen them in person...but I feel much better about my choice now!!

That was amazingly sweet of you. We got stuck having to deal with changes in estate issue and it's just blah! I don't how people go from a funeral to having to settle estates within a few days...it's morbid to me and makes people seem like vultures. He's been back home since a couple days ago and all has been normal again. I'm used to people passing away as usually I'm a nursing assistant but employment is dastardlt here.

He's doing remarkably well so we're not struggling and we raid that CCO every couple weeks like clockwork. Should have seen the girl Brittany's face when he asked her how it is I can spend two hours in that store. She looked him dead in the eye and was like well, you've been buying your video games for an hour so that's what we go through with our make up. I died. As of this point, he knows leave me there, let me chill with them and he can go off and do his own thing there; just leave me the bank card.

You watch Resha's videos too. I loved the organization one where she showed how she came to organize her collection and what gave her space. Did notice she had the Manish Arora palette unused(!) which I know she has to have a backup of Nylon then. Gotta love where the dog steps in like it's the star of the video...thought it was hella cute. She does the CCO or finds online bargains too; I hadn't really paid attention to the Specktra/youtube hype before her. She's got a level head and finds deals I know I wouldn't find....plus can pull off the Sea & Sky 10 times better than I can.

MelodyAngel : Your pic looks spectacular and close ups so suit you. Just wanted to say hey, I saw a change because darn it, it seems like I see you with a new wish list every week.

The pic looks amazing madamoiselle.

As a footnote: That would've been me wiped out on the floor there, about to become ROADKILL!


Would it have killed some of you to have saved me some of the Cremestick Pearl Lipliners...

...or maybe even just one of the Lip Pencils in Quarts???

You'll LOVE it!!! It looks very chic & good size!

And the texture is pretty good, feels like it could be easily cleaned.

TamEva Le Fay : Loved the bridal post....f*cking best post ever. I was laughing throughout the whole thing because you hit the nail on the head.

P.S. Your signature is the shiznit!!!

starbucksmocha : I thought I had it bad at 6% on everything....I now don't mind Maryland too much.

The material seems very cheap. And the pattern is just kinda screen pressed on or something (I am probably not even using that term right

). Its looks ok on the smaller one, but I think I am returning the large one. It looks too cheap for how much it cost. Anyone else think so??

CCO in South Carolina if it helps any. Mine never has MSF's or stuff like that but I find my brighter eye shadows there. Avoid Metal-X like the plague because you'll want to return them a day later. I'm now lusting the Lustrevision collection thanks to MAC_Whore....swear you buy a couple of items and then you're like omg, I want them all. It's just irony everyone else is hyped about SW and Naked Honey and I'm stuck on a set from a few years back....I'm so retro.

I feel I need these things to make my life complete...it was fate that led me to them.

 

[shops2much]

I did a few orders and my total came up to $880 CAD. It was a lot, but last year I was on a makeup buying ban. So this year I'm making up for it.

Thanks for the info! I checked out my CCO here in Charleston, and they have a decent selection, but they hardly ever get anything in that I'm lemming.

I feel the same way as you do...there are just certain MAC items that I won't feel complete unless I posses. I'm not familiar with the Lustrevision collection though...I'll have to do some investigating...
