Well I gave in and got Play It Proper and Follow Your Fancy from Stylishly Yours this week.

I also phoned Pro in London and bought Reflects Bronze glitter, Reflects Pearl glitter and Marine Ultra pigment. I have been wanting those glitters for a while, and having seen that they are going to come out with the Wonder Woman collection at a premium price I decided to go ahead and order them at regular prices. I had also wanted to get some Mixing Medium, but Pro told me they are out of stock and don’t have a date for when they will get some in. She checked, and said they should have some within about 6 months!!

This weekend I am hoping to get some sleep, but I know I’ve got the supermarket shopping to do and my parents are probably coming over on Saturday. I am hoping to collect my Boots order of Soap & Glory’s Mighty Mouth set, which is currently in the sale. I’m also hoping that Superdrug will finally have received stock of Sleek’s new Molten Metal set – they got the display stand with testers a couple of weeks ago, but as yet have not received the product to put on it!

Weekend Plans: One of my nephews is coming to visit. He’s 15, so I’m sure I’ll spend most of the weekend playing video games and watching movies. No complaints from me!
Skincare product I can’t live without: Resurf.a.stic… It’s AMAZING. I love ExfoliKATE but I can’t afford to use it regularly, so I bought the resurf.a.stic when it was on sale on hautelook. I use it every couple of days in the shower and my skin has never been in better shape.

I haven’t gotten it yet, but I ordered quite a bit this week. I finally purchased some Jack Black lip balm because of this blog! Can’t wait to actually try it out.

I also got a new face brush for my BE foundation. It’s from one of Sephora’s line and it got good reviews, so I look forward to it. The BE face brush just feels too scratchy lately :-p

I also ordered a MAC MSF from AllCosmeticsWholesale. I don’t remember the color off the top of my head…something pink. To make the order over $40 for a free gift I also added a Naked pigment sample.

Can’t wait to play with everything once it arrives πŸ˜€

I had a dream last night where Benefit released a new blush that was supposed to be the perfect shade for everyone. It was a medium red color with streaks of black and light gray going through it, LOL. I was reading about it on your site, and then decided to visit you. You were kind enough to break off a corner of the blush and put the crumbs in a ratty old office envelope for me to take home and try- in the dream I was so happy about this. LOL, funniest dream I’ve had in a while and so far the only beauty blog-related one I’ve had. πŸ˜€

Cherie Avatar

HAHAHA that’s so funny! Thanks for sharing πŸ™‚

Anyone know how to get your cat to stop just licking up the gravy from the canned food? I have a very finicky Russian Blue cat (named Logan as in Wolverine from X-Men) who loves doing this. Going to try and find him another canned food that’s minced w/ gravy so he eats it all. He is *such* a prima donna.

Amber Avatar

Baby Mellan!! Just had to get that out of my system. My dog Zoey is an 11 year old rescue miniature poodle, and people ask me all the time, “How old is your puppy?” I also have a super young face, so I like to think we were meant to end up together for that reason, among others. πŸ™‚

No Hauls for me this week, my mum finally cut me off. πŸ˜€ As someone who has never worn make up in her life she is absolutely appalled that I spend as much as I do on cosmetics, and since I have to use her credit card for purchases she decides when enough is enough. I can’t sleep at night with out dreaming of that Cle de Peau lipstick in Red Abundance though, ahhh the glorious richness of the shade…

Weekend plans: Snowshoeing tomorrow and work sunday

Skincare product that you can’t live with out: Don’t have one really. For someone with such extravagent tastes in make up, I’m perfectly content with whatever bit of soap and dallop of lotion is laying around. Something with spf is a must though.

From Urban Decay, I got the Summer of Love eyeshadow palette, Morphine 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil, Greedy Afterglow Cheek Tint & the Good Karma shading brush. I also got NARS Little Darling Lipstick and a Bobbi Brown lip gloss trio.

Skincare product you can’t live without: I really love Clean & Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial. I have sensitive skin that is really prone to dryness, so I only exfoliate once a week and this is the only scrub I’ll use. You leave it on in the shower for a minute and then rub it over your face, a mask & scrub in one. It smells terrific and makes my skin feel so soft afterward.
