Funniest thing that happened this week:  Mellan must have heard a noise last night, because he started growling like crazy, and when I pushed back the blinds (those long, hanging vertical ones), he started growling more.  I think it might have been at his reflection, LOL.

Friday plans: Going to my parents’ house for dinner — gonna be YUMMY!

This week’s Mellan photo…


I miss puppy Mellan sometimes!  Although he still furrows his brow whenever he’s thinking now!

Haul: China Glaze For Audrey.
Slight haul-related rant: I’m considering buying more polishes, and this might happen today (I’m going to buy myself a present for Mikey Way’s birthday? Haha), but I’m kind of annoyed and confused by 8ty8’s shipping policy (“There’s a minimum charge of $7, and you can order up to four polishes” doesn’t really tell me HOW MUCH it’s going to be, person who replied to my e-mail, which I thought was quite clear), but they have two of the ones I want that the other site I looked at doesn’t, and I do not know why this affects me so deeply, but I just needed to rant somewhere? >.<
Weekend plans: Celebrating Mikey's birthday (today) and the beginning of MCR (tomorrow). In case it wasn't obvious, they're my favorite band and I love them. The popcorn festival tomorrow, followed by a We The Kings concert. I'll probably visit my Sephora ladies in between festival and concert…and somehow resist buying anything.

leesie Avatar

Well, I think it’s $7 for anything under a pound, and since the shipping weight on China Glaze polishes is 4 ounces, it should just be that, or not much more. Cheaper than getting them from Sally’s, and I think the route I’m going to take, especially since I’ve got my eye on two which are from older collections and which I haven’t seen at Sally’s at all.
I probably will go ahead and order them, since I’m trying to give my nails more love and attention, and I have a short attention span when it comes to color. From what I’ve read here (both from you and other readers), China Glaze polishes are totally worth it.

I GOT A ROUGE G! Yeah I got gaela which I realised when I came home has been discontinued! Maybe cause its similar to Georgia which is the one I planned to get but I hate it when companies only have the testers labelled with numbers rather than the names because when I went I got confused and mistakenly bought gaela. I still like it though! I keep taking the case out and playing with it – I feel like a bond girl! The strong scent of it can be off putting though.

I’ve also got to play with my naked palette, I love toasted – a gorgeous copper colour!

Have you read the girl with the dragon tattoo? Its brilliant! I’m reading Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann at the moment – its about people’s life who are intertwined in NY.

baby in a corner Avatar

Its a thriller/ mystery type of trilogy. Its been in the best sellers here for a while. Set in sweden written by a swedish author, with really kick ass female characters!

Gaela looks warmer on me than it does in your swatches, but its still a nice colour – probably cause i’ve pigmented lips. I re-read all your posts on rouge gs after i got mine – I dunno why but I love doing this after I get something!

CeeBee Avatar

I second the recomendation for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson – I finished the Millenium trilogy a few weeks back (the 2 other books are The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest) and they were very, very good.

It’s about an investigative journalist (who has just been convicted for libel) who gets involved with a reclusive, antisocial computer hacker who has spent about the last ten years committed to a psychiatric institution (for reasons not disclosed but you do find out in the third book) and she helps him try and solve the mystery disappearance of a young girl who went missing 40 years beforehand. It’s set in Sweden and parts of it are quite brutal and I found it really riveting.
The first 2 books have been made into movies as well, pretty sure they’re subtitled though(being Swedish).

Oh, and leaving the cap off a Rouge G for about three days does the trick…

This week’s haul: Burmese Beauty quad, St Yves Apricot scrub (needed to see for myself why people say it’s bad, I actually like it), Lancome Rose powder, The Body Shop Cheek & Face Powder in Chestnut (the one with the leaves, very pretty).

Kalex Avatar

Haul – Chanel’s Rouge Coco in “Stunning”. And still waiting on my Bobbi “Black Plum” kohl liner. Should be here today! Fingers crossed I have better luck than you did. It was just too pretty not to try!

Kalex Avatar

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s “stunning” – it’s very pretty and natural though. I used shadows from my Bobbi nude palette with it for an understated/natural look yesterday.

I’m seriously more in love with it than any other lip thing I’ve over gotten. <3 you so much Christine for your constant mentions that have made me go 'Hmmmm'.

Christine Avatar

Haha! Me too… except I wish I could figure out what he’s thinking!

virginiaisforluvrs Avatar

Haul: MAC Cyndi lipglass, Chanel Soho quad and Stunning lipstick, Les Khaki Brun and Vert, 3 Inglot nail polishes (went to Vegas this week and their new store opened at the Forum. Yay!).

The funny/weird thing that happened this week was that I went to the Chanel shop at Bellagio and the lady totally lied to me couple days ago and said that the Khaki polishes were sold out on the website. I think she wanted to take down my info to ship to me and make a commission. How strange!

happybadfish Avatar

Mac haul today for me. I bought Nice Vice and Cash Flow paint pots. Knight es and Copperplate es. A blush brush and a 217 brush. Fix +, since the weather is taking a turn, I needed to load up on this! My work place is so dry, I like to keep one at work. A few lipsticks and blush.

I also got Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream, The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Lip Butter, a new Jordana lipstick in Soft Rose (the colour reminds me of the Laura Mercier Courtisane stick balm you reviewed recently, maybe a tad more coral/peach but still with that lucious shimmer!) a Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in Heavenly and 3 Natio lip pencils which are the BOMB. Thye are SO pigmented and have this amazing texture, almost like a velvety gel but in pencil form. LOVE.

Make time to: Make hand rolled pizza dough and pack for a three day trip to Auckland on Sunday. (MAC counter, yay!)

Worst thing that happened this week: A massive earthquake (same magnitude as Haiti) hit Christchurch (NZ’s second largest city) last Saturday morning and there is MASSIVE damage. No one killed though, which is amazing and all my friends are OK and doing well, only one has lost her house completely. 🙁

ChiChi is an Australian brand, stocked in a department store here called Farmers – the range is good, about 40 shades and the formula is pretty good, maybe a tiny bit streaky (esp. if you don’t load the brush up with enough product) but it dries fast and doesn’t chip too quickly. Plus it’s $15 a bottle, while OPI and Orly are about $25…

This week’s haul was MAC.

A little late to the party but FF Superslick Eyeliner in DF and TMN, Plum Dressging, Cranbury and Parfait Amour Eyeshadows, and Palace Pedigreed Quad.

I ADORE the superslick eyeliners because of the color choices and it’s staying power, but I cannot draw a straight or thin line with those to save my butt! I’ve never been a liquid eyeliner girl, but was hoping the felt tip would be easier to use and I use the Too Faced Liquif-eye on a daily basis. But, sadly, it’s not the same and I may return the two eyeliners. But is the Palace Pedireed Quad the most beautiful thing you’ve every seen? LOL I can’t believe I almost passed on the entire collection.

Just The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil treatment and MAC nail lacquer in Concubine. I am back in school now, so my beauty budget is miniscule. Anyway, I would like to save for the new iPod Touch because I am craving for it. For my free time, I will be reading Generation A by Douglas Coupland this weekend, a well known Vancouver writer. For a good read I recommend The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I read both and am waiting for the third book, Mockingjay to be available at the local library.
