@MIRIANV Oh my God, I’m melting here. Melting! Such a sweet, sweet face, even when looking bedraggled and resigned in the bath! (That one made me laugh to no end. lol) Incredibly expressive face, too. She’s absolutely adorable, Mirian, and I just want to cuddle her and sniff her puppy fur. What’s her name?

@MIRIANV <choke> I *literally* choked on my Diet Coke. Lucille Bow….. Bwahahahahahahahaha. Ah, the Great Redhead would have loved that. But for the sake of your sanity, I hope your Lucy doesn’t get into as much trouble as her namesake. 😉 Lucille Bow….. hilarious!!

My urge to pet that dog is through the roof.
Haul: Nothing as well.
Weekend plans: Grandma’s B-Day and Father’s day on Sunday.

Weekend Plans: Gonna check out the summer sales at both L’occitane and Fruits & Passion, then stock up on anything that is a deal~
Accomplishment: Um… dunno about this. 2 degrees I guess but I don’t have a good job to show for it, so it seems rather sad on the contrary. I do have a lot of student loans though!

Weekend plans: Re-read “Sarah’s Key” for my book club Tuesday. Sunday involves Father’s Day plans and going out for dinner.
Your proudest accomplishment?: Hm. Good question. Never thought of it before and don’t quite know what the answer is. Being chosen for the Phi Beta Kappa national honours society, maybe? Surviving my insane childhood and life? LOL. No, probably being a person I like or a good person, and knowing I’m not an a*sshole. Yeah, probably that. Liking yourself isn’t as easy or as self-evident as it sounds.
Haul: NARS Paramaribo Eyeshadow Duo, Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hyperliner in Spark of Envy (I got it! Just like you said I should! Love!), and a
Blood Orange body butter- I only paid around $23 dollars because I still had $35 left on a gift card!

@Kafka Hey, Kafka! Let me know how you like the new NARS blush!
@Miss J, I definitely will, once it arrives. I can’t *wait* to get my paws on it! In the meantime, I’ve got my eye on Mounia and hope to get that one, too. Since I got Lokoum, Sin has now moved to #1 on my blush list but since Mounia is DC’d….. Oh, I’ve also been looking at the bronzer — Irrestiblement — which everyone says is a warm caramel, golden terracotta matte colour without any real brown. Supposedly, it’s perfect for pale, fair skin and, for them, even better than Laguna! No muddy undertones, not that Laguna makes me look muddy but I can see how it would do so for super, super pale skin. Some call it a caramel peach that, on olive skin, gives a healthy glow. I vaguely remember swatching this in Sephora, I think, and it was very pretty. Intrigued?
@Kafka @Miss I always thought that bronzer was pretty when swatched, but on my face, it doesn’t work. I can wear it on my cheeks okay, but something about peach and red toned bronzers doesn’t work on me. I have to have golden-brown otherwise something just looks off and I can’t place it. :/ The only bronzers I’ve been able to find so far are NARS Laguna, Too Faced’s Chocolate Soleil, and Guerlains ones for warmer/golden tones.
aaaaawww sweeet when I saw his pic I saw the same expression, what do you want now.
I have to say, seeing Temptalia as your proudest accomplishment made me a little emotional. You 100% should be proud, Christine! What you do is amazing!
I’m saving up for the NARS Fall 2012 & Warhol collections, so I’m trying not to buy anything. As for the weekend, other than my daughter’s kindergarten culmination today, I have nothing planned (again, trying to save money). My daughter is my biggest accomplishment; she has autism, and she’s been in Special Education classes the last 3 years (although the last two have been mixed), but next term she will be moving on to an all mainstream classroom, with no “supports”, other than conultive speech therapy. Of course I have to credit my family for all their help, as well as the incredible kindergarten team this past term.
Haul: Mac Keep it Cool and Evening Stroll cheek/lip pots and the Beth Ditto blue mascara….I’m gonna return the mascara. Oh! I also picked up Too Faced’s Royal Oil. That stuff smells niiiiiiice.
Weekend plans: Hell if I know. Trying to enjoy time to myself and playing lots of video games.
Proudest Accomplishment: Taking the initiative to put my creative works out there for the public.
Haul: Guerlain Meteorites Teint Rose mattifying and illuminating powder (the pressed compact), Bobbi Brown high shimmer lip gloss in Pink Sequin. Chanel Rogue Allure Velvet in La Distinguee (the website exclusive). Dandelion powder and gloss sample (code DANDELION on sephora.com right now, don’t know how long it’ll last).
Weekend plans: Gaming tomorrow with friends, and working 12 hours on Sunday.
Proudest accomplishment: It’s a tie between being married six and a half years (relationship’s lasted a little over twelve years) and getting and keeping my current job (i work in the IT field and i’m NOT a contractor, and that’s really hard to find out here, especially after the last few years).
haul: I bought my grad dress from Melanie Lyne, the Linkin Park Underground 9 cd, and my dad finally got back from Las Vegas with the stuff I ordered for my birthday: all three shady lady palettes from theBalm (thanks to you Christine), the two very first batman dvds, a Yael Naim cd, and the things I ordered from bhcosmetics: the 1st and 3rd edition 120 palettes,the 10 colour blush palette, the foundation brush and the smudger brush. I also bought the Clarisonic Mia 2, but it didn’t arrive because they messed up the shipping and said it never worked even though they sent it out and gave us the confirmation email.. so I’ll either be reordering it from Amazon this time or just buying it at sephora.
Weekend Plans: there was a suicide at my school and everyone is absolutely devastated. It had a huge impact on me, so I’ll probably spend the weekend grieving even though I should be studying for finals.
Proudest Accomplishment: getting my article that I wrote for a competition published in the newspaper along with receiving an honorable mention. (this was in grade 6)
Haul: MAC Jaunty backups. I’ve found my HG eyeshadow and I’ve stocked up for years to come. MAC Shimmermoss. I found it’s still available so I grabbed this. MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder. I’m running low.
Weekend Plan: Will have to see what the weather would be like.
Proudest Acccomplishment: Graduated from law school and took the bar on the first instance and passed it with high flying colors!
Haul: Nothing too interesting. I picked up BE’s Well Rested, purple liquid liner, and some samples. I also had to order the foundation pump for NARS since my cap broke and it was wasting foundation with the leaking. I’m still debating if I’m gonna get that new primer from Hourglass, and I think I’m going to get Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel.
Weekend plans: Farmer’s Market, I hope, for Saturday, and Sunday with fam for Father’s Day.
Proudest Accomplishment: I’m not too sure, but as a kid, I was told I’d end up “no good.” So, to not have ended up “no good” sure feels good, as if it’s a big “F*** YOU!” Lol.
Haul: MAC patina and charcoal brown, 217 brush, maybelline mauvelicious lipstick (perfect MLBB), zebra print z-palette, lavanila vanilla grapefruit roll-on scent. and just ordered some manic panic vampire red dye if that counts…it looks so good on xsparkage/leesha, i had to have it!
Weekend plans: work and hopefully seeing my dad on sunday
What is your proudest accomplishment?: hmm it’s a little personal to post on the internet…but quitting several dangerous/unhealthy behaviors.
Haul: L’Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Earthen Brown

Weekend Plans: garden center to purchase flowers, planting the flowers, a day w/my daughter just hanging out, watching movies, girl talk & lazing in the hammock. Family Sunday dinner.
