I just got back from my long road trip, and i am SOOOOO far behind in catching up to ALL the boards here!

While this collection isn't getting me all excited, i am considering Flat Out Fabulous (bright plum) and Fixed On Drama (rich wine) lipsticks, as well as Fashion Boost (bright purple) lip pencil.

Any idea which one the model is wearing in the pic above? Looks bluer than Ruby Woo to me... and if that's FoD i will have get it. I don't look good in bright or orangey reds, but dark or blue reds work...

And, sheesh, i haven't worn any lipstick since i left town July 17!

That's my prediction for next summer/fall...


Looooong ago (1970s?) i bought a Dior lipstick called Ochre de Tyre (Tyrian Ochre). Now, ochre is an earth pigment - literally, the paint pigment derives from a type of clay - and it is a dun yellow color. It is used a great deal by painters. The lipstick was not quite that unusual a color, but it was a warm yellowish brown. Sadly, the color wasn't stable on me and it turned very orange, which was not flattering.

I'd love to see some of the colors you're predicting, Liba.

Ochre is one of my, if not THE, most favourite colours in the world!

Guess more FOD for me!
Maybe because I watched it on my phone, the colour was off.

I'll still give it a try, I've been waiting too long for this to just drop it!

The other day I depotted my eyeshadows and have accumulated 24 empties! I am B2M for Flat Out Fabulous, Relentlessly Red, All Fired Up and maybe Dangerous.

My friend gave me 75 empties. I :heart: her! Don't forget to buy metal pans for your depots everyone!
Great friend! I'm guessing you're referring to pans for those that have stores that won't accept empties without the pan. So far I've been lucky....my empties have been accepted that way.

Wow! Awesome friend. ;)

Last time I B2M they took my depots as is so I'm hoping it will be ok.

Edit: Kind of off topic, but you may be able to answer this, I need to stock up on my everyday essentials. I plan on doing so at the end of this month. Could I go into my mac store and ask for a full face makeover? Because I'm planning on spending over the $50. I've never had a full face done there before and I'd like to try it.

:nods: Yeah Perimeter hasn't said anything to my sister yet, so so far so good! But she also goes in all Mission Impossible-like!

You sure can! Any any time, any where! No need for an appointment either. If you're wanting your makeup done for an event, you need an appointment. But if you're fine with waiting for however long it takes (as they may be the only one working and need to step away), you can walk in on a tuesday at 11am and walk out at 130 if it takes that long, with a new face and a bag full of goodies!
Just a question, can you B2M damaged containers? I have an empty tender tone pot that has a cracked lid. It'd be a shame to throw it out if I could use it towards a B2m!
Yuppers!

I planned on driving up to Perimeter tomorrow....but then I remembered that it's tax free weekend so we'll see if I feel like dealing with the wonderful ATL traffic lol. The main road that Perimeter is on is always hectic, but it's worse during any kind of sale period lol

My SA suggests I come in and get my makeup done. She knows I rarely leave with under $50 of product so why not try a new look?
