Welcome to Free For Haul Friday!

  • Haul:  No makeup — far too many earrings!
  • Weekend plans: Celebrating Father’s Day!  Last weekend, my sister graduated, so rather than try to have a halfway Father’s Day (since we were helping her move back home), we decided to postpone it by a week.
  • What’s the one thing you can cook superbly?: Fettuccine alfredo!

Share your pet photos to the Temptalia Pets flickr group! 🙂

Haul:  Benefit Watt’s Up highlighter; Maybelline Tastefully Taupe eyeshadow
 
Weekend plans: clear out some of the old furniture from older son’s room so we can continue on our slowly moving plans to turn it into a guest room-cum-sitting room for our daughter to use as her living room now that she’s moved home
 
One thing I can cook superbly: actually, just about anything EXCEPT pie crust (it’s still a challenge to me) but I guess my “specialties” are flank steak and trifle.  Oh, and artichoke bites (people always ask me to bring that to “get togethers”).

Haul: I got 10 more Inglot pans all pearl and shimmer shades.

Haul: not necessarily a haul, but a purchase…i just signed up for my first glossybox!
 
weekend plans: try to not die from this heat whilst eating popsicles and also see my boyfriends parents at some point while they’re in town
 
What’s the one thing you can cook superbly?: A lot of things! I wanted to be a chef at some point so there are a lot. My boyfriend does love my Bolognese, Burgers, and Steak tacos though. I love my whole grilled snapper and my pesto with fresh fettucine and roasted veggies and mushrooms.

Haul: Nothing!
Plans: Cleaning.
What I can cook superbly? Honestly, just about *anything*. Unfortunately, everyone in my family likes bland, boring food, so I don’t get to play in the kitchen as much as I would like.

Haul: Z palette!
Weekend plans: celebrating my uncle and my cousing birthday, and keep on writing my dissertation.
What’s the one thing you can cook superbly? loads of things, actually. I learned how to cook at 16 so I can cook many easy meals and less easy ones. the thing is I don’t like cooking if I am the only one who’s gonna eat. there must be the Italian mum in me, lol.

Haul: MAC eyeshadow in Woodwinked and Blackheart nail polishes in Party Action and Jealous Type.
 
Plans: Gardening, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with my hubby, and hang out with family. 
 
Cooking: There’s definitely more than one item! Breakfast fare, Beer Brats and German Potatoes, Persian, Mexican, etc. I just can’t choose one item when there’s so much yumminess I can concoct in my kitchen! 
If you ask my husband, though, he’d say Ghormeh Sabzi. He begs me to make some every month, then eats the whole double pot in two days, and complains it’s all gone. Men.

Kafka Avatar

 @EvilPinkRobot  Ha! Did it come with freshly-made Tadik? If so, I don’t blame him. 🙂 Do you also make Fesenjoon? *THAT* one, I would fight him for it!  I sometimes make Khoresht but I lack the time or inclination for a true Fesenjoon from scratch, so I cheat and use Sadaf’s pre-bottled ones. They’re surprisingly good khoreshts!
 

EvilPinkRobot Avatar

 @Kafka My hubby knows NOT to touch my tadig! I’d lay off on homemade Persian if he did. 😉 Yup, I make Fesenjoon. I was hesitant on it at first, thought I’d mess it up by burning the walnuts or something, but my first time came out awesome. Maybe the next time the hubby begs for something, I’ll try the Sadaf bottles. Happy husband means more makeup hauls for me! 😀

Kafka Avatar

 @EvilPinkRobot  You should definitely try the Sadaf pre-made stuff. I’ve tried the Ghaimeh, Fesenjoon and the Gormeh Sabzi, and all 3 are great and require little addition to make the taste dead on.  Perhaps more of the Anar for the Fesenjoon, or dried Limoo for the Gormeh Sabzi. The Ghaimeh may be my favorite, esp. when you add in the eggplants. I really don’t think they’re particularly expensive either and it makes life so much easier! For the Gormeh Sabzi, I estimate you can make a big pot of it in 4-6 hrs, depending on the size of the beef and how soft you like it.  3 smallish jars or one big giant one, and you should easily have enough even for your husband’s appetite. LOL.  And, think how happy he’d be if he didn’t have to wait a full month before he could eat it again!

Haul: Mac warehouse sale haul in markham: I spent 289 for nearly 600 worth of stuff! My favorites were my semi precious msf, in the abstract highlighter (both were 15 CDN) and Lilicent cream blush (also 15).
Weekend plans: spend time with my boyfriend, possibly work at Victoria’s secret tomorrow, depending on if the need extra help, and going to see my dad play baseball on Sunday 🙂
Food I can cook well: ugh this will sound lame.. But Kraft Dinner.. Honestly I make it amazing, like no one else can :P. that and any sort of chicken 🙂

HAUL:  MUFE HD foundation, Guerlain Terra Cotta light sheer bronzing and Guerlain Terracotta bronzing powder.  In my question for my grail foundation, MUFE HD was recommended to me and I have recently also received Illamasqua Skin Base.  The products are very similar and I was able to find a decent match with both.  The Illamasqua product is probably a touch more pigmented as I only need a very tiny amount to do my entire face.  Here’s the weird part about these foundations:  They do not look so hot when you first apply them and I use a MAC 188 small duo fibre brush and buff into my skin predominantly in spots where I need it more and lightly in those I don’t.  In any event, something magic seems to happen–little microscopic buffing elves perhaps– in the span of about 1/2 an hour and all of a sudden the application looks supremely smooth and your skins looks immaculate!!!  This is the girl who used to prefer the look of a TM over foundation, but now I find myself strangely obsessed with this flawless look.  After applying my make-up, I top up with a light dusting of Guerlain meterorites and the finish is just superb.  I like both of these products, but I haven’t tested the MUFE in extremely hot weather conditions yet.  The Guerlain bronzing products are really excellent as well.  I tend to buy very light colours of bronzer to affect a small hint of colour and both of these products apply ‘invisibly’, but give that lovely hint of tan and neither produces obnoxious orangey fake tan looks.  The sheer bronzing power item has a bit of sparkle and pink which is lovely and not overdone.
 
WEEKEND PLANS:  Yesterday marked the births of our very first in-house purebred Suffolk lambs.  We bred these two girls 100% on our farm with our own stud ram.  The rest of the flock will be giving birth over the next 45 to 60 days.  We call this time of year Lamb-a-thon since we survive on very little sleep.  The issue is to be in attendence with the ewes during their delivery time in the event something goes wrong and we need to intervene.  Consequently, this dictates middle of the night checks, early morning checks..etc..  around the clock supervision essentially.  I am the wet nurse if the female ewes decide they do not want to feed their babies or are incapable of producing sufficient milk.  They are fed by bottle with a milk replacer in these cases.  Anyhow, I have posted a couple of pictures of the newborn twins shortly after they were born (less than an hour old) on the Temptalia Pets Flickr board if anyone is interested.  No, they are not pets, but for me they might as well be.
 
THE ONE THING I CAN COOK SUPERBLY:  I’m a pretty good cook and also very good with desserts/pastry.  But the one thing that people rave about all the time and ask me how I do it..  Roasted baby potatoes.  Mine are crisy golden on the outside and tender on the inside without being mushy.  I do a two step process and it’s worth it!!!  

Kafka Avatar

 @wwendalynne  Wendy, I’m so glad you found a foundation that works for you, esp. colour wise. Which one is a closer colour match for you? BTW, the transformation you describe is exactly what happened to me with the NARS Sheer Glow: from heinous and just lying on the skin to magical, “my skin but better” 30 minutes onwards.  Definitely getting it when my sample runs out!   And your lambs are *adorable*!!! So sweet and I laughed out loud at the “Who are you and *what* are you??” photo! Heh. Of course, with a handsome papa like Big Gus (that’s his name, right?), I’m not surprised that they’re gorgeous. 
       One thing: your post transitioned from baby lambs into roasted baby potatoes…..  Ouch!  <grin>
 

wwendalynne Avatar

 @Kafka Doh!  Colour I like better = MUFE 120,  Foundation I like better = Illamasqua.  HG Undetectable by me colour match = 50% MUFE 120 and 50% Illamasqua #6.  The MUFE is very slightly too dark and also too yellow.  The Illamasqua #8 is  too dark and too pink..I purchased #6 and #8.  I have a wicked eye for colour differences so when I make these comments, I’m being over-the-top exacting.  I judge match in two ways 1.  standing in direct light and looking into my makeup mirror and 2.  it’s painful, but the mirror in my truck.  It’s not kind at ALL and If I want to feel particularly sh*tty about myself, I just need to lower the visor to be confronted with everything that is bad.  Through this mirror, I can see infinitesimal differences and small differences appear glaringly wrong.  Is this freaking message anal retentive enough to annoy you?  LoL..my apologies :)Hey, good luck with the surgery!!!  You already know all about our Digger having emerg neck surgery just this past November.  He was cooped up in Doggy jail for 4 months in a pen/crate as well because he was not allowed ANY movement while he recovered.  He’s doing very well now and it is incredible what they can do.  Of course, it costs the MOON!!!  So big hugs and best wishes and take plenty of valium because they are not happy campers when otherwise super active dogs are confined :(.  They eventually figure it out though.  xoxo Wendy

@wwendalynne I laughed so hard about the truck mirror! Several years ago, I had my now ex had a convertible, and I remember being in the car one afternoon, wearing a new foundation. Although we had (what I *thought* was) amazing light in the bathroom, I thought my foundation looked really good, until I looked over into the rearview mirror. It was absolutely *horrifying*! I couldn’t believe I had gone the entire day like that. He finally convinced me it didn’t look bad, but yes, car/truck mirrors are absolutely unforgiving, LOL. Lesson learned; when riding in a car, there is no reason to look at the mirror.

 @wwendalynne  You know how anal-retentive/OCD  *I* can be, so I liked it! What made you go with MUFE #120 as opposed to something like the 117? It’s paler but still yellow, though not as much as 120. Check some swatches and see what you think.  
     As for the surgery, I think I’ll be better on Friday when I bring him back home. Wednesday morning, I’m driving a few hours out to the godforsaken place where Texas A&M is located. It’s one of the top 3 vet centers in the country, kinda like a Johns Hopkins for dogs/horses/etc.. I will drop him off and leave him for their extensive battery of tests and x-rays. He has to be in perfect health for the operation and they won’t do it if they find even the smallest something wrong with him.  Then, Thursday morning, they will do the actual surgery. It’s been suggested to me by more than one person (from breeders to vet techs to human nurses) that I should leave him there overnight for them to assess his pain levels. So, Friday, I will drive back out and pick him up.  I plan to sedate myself with endless amounts of Nutella, wine and bread from Wed. afternoon until I have him in my arms again Friday.  <grin>  My big concern is the blasted infection that German Shepherds in particular are prone to post-op; they have to use a totally diff. bone/ball-socket for GSDs than they have to do for all other dogs. There is a serious risk of infection from that that other dogs don’t usually face. So, I figure I will be a nervous wreck for about a month. LOL. Paw kisses to Digger and Bernice.

What a super photo with all the bright colours. You can tell from his body language how happy he is! Does Mellan always swim with a life vest at your parents’ place?
 
Haul:  NARS Rajasthan and Melusine eyeshadow duos. They may be my favorite NARS eyeshadows yet!
 
Weekend Plans:  Prepare for The Hairy German’s total hip replacement Wednesday. Rearrange the furniture to best accommodate his massive, new crate (48L x 30W x33H) in the main downstairs area of the house and to minimise distances to the grassy area outside. Also, one last hurrah at the dog park since he won’t be going for the next 8 months.  And lots of Valium for me. ;P
 
Cooking:  Food is one of my big passions in life and I’m a pretty gourmet cook, so a lot of things.  A friend once offered to back me to the tune of 6 figures to start my own place, so it’s not all in my imagination. LOL.  I can’t bake for the life of me though. Far too much math involved, and math & I don’t get along.

 @Kafka He’s supposed to! Someone is always out there watching him, but I feel better if he has his vest on. He’s a strong swimmer, and aside from the very first time he swam as a puppy, he’s never had a single problem swimming!  He went a little vertical but righted himself as a wee pup!

@Kafka … keep us updated about your dog 🙂 My cocker spaniel just got diagnoised with arthritis in his elbows .. so sad, he’s only 1 yr old. We have an appt with a vet surgeon to see if anything can/can’t be done for him.

Kafka Avatar

 @mpca66  @Kafka  Your poor baby…. he’s so young. 🙁  I think it’s always so much worse when furry children are diagnosed with something serious as they’re just starting life. My Zola was 5 months old when they said he had bilateral Hip Dysplasia.  What things (medications, supplements) is your boy on to help him until the surgical consult? I highly recommend Grizzly’s Salmon oil but, most of all, N’Zymes granules.  It’s a super-food or live-food supplement and I was urged to use it by a number of my breeder friends who swear by it for joint, elbow, ligament and HD problems. One of them managed to avoid an elbow operation on her champion Mastiff thanks to it, while another’s Westminster-awarded champion Shar Pei survived for years with serious arthritis and no pain/mobility issues because of it. I truly believe that N’Zymes is the sole reason I’ve managed to put Zola’s operation off for 3 years.  None of us know how or why it works (it confounds my vet, lol, who is actually looking into it for his own dogs) but it seems to work wonders on everything from allergies and skin conditions to musko-skeletal and joint problems. I think it may help your boy.  The website with info: ( http://www.nzymes.com/ppc/canine_arthritis_and_joint_pain.htm?gclid=CNHDu9Xk4rACFeZgTAodelGx2g ).

 @Kafka I understand – you just can´t love more an adorable creature like a dog! I’ll be sending positive and supportive vibes to you and Zoya; you´ll see everything will turn out great!!

Kafka Avatar

@MissJ, thank you, sweetie. I appreciate it.  If I can get through Wed., then the actual surgery on Thursday morning & his return on Friday with my sanity relatively intact, I figure I will deserve AT LEAST one NARS blush as a reward. I’m not holding my breath though; I’m nutty on the best of days.  <grin>  Give some belly rubs to Bubba from me, will ya?

Haul: I got some stuff last Sunday…does that count? 🙂 MAC’s Bare Study, Lipglass in Pink Lemonade, and lipstick in Faux. I was going there to try out Creme Cup, which I thought looked HORRIBLE on me, and I tried Faux — looked so much better that I snapped it up! 
Weekend plans: take my last golf lesson before I go out and play with my dad for the first time ever, get my nails done (usually I do my own, but my grandma wants me to come with her…now the question is, do I get a French manicure, or do I try the OPI Gel manicure?). 😉
Cooking: I make a pretty mean sundried tomato pesto penne. Garlic toast is another thing people ask me to make. Hope they like garlic if they do, since I put a LOT on!

Haul: too bad…I had a 20% Sephora discount so I bought some MUFE stuff I had already tried and swatched long before (eyebrow gel corrector – wow, it really does stay put!, aqua lips in 1c – nice neutral; and something unexpected: lip perfector pencil to help with my incipient fine wrinkles around the lips which were starting to bother me when wearing lipstick!)
 
Weekend plans: I have quite a bit of translating work to do, plus ironing, and I’d love to take my dog (a 7 year old golden retriever female) to the beach – she absolutely adores it and she loves going in to swim from one place to another, everyone stops to look at her. I am a big fan of Mellan and always look forward to his friday’s photo, he really reminds me of my dog!
 
Cooking: Hmm….I’ll give this one a miss, ha ha ha !

Haul: Burberry Peony blush and Blush lipgloss. Also a bunch of stuff I bought from a blog sale: Chanel Glossimer (Nakkar), Rouge Coco (Etoile), Burberry Lip Cover (Primrose Hill Pink), Fresh lip treatment (Passion), Diorskin Shimmer (Rose Diamond), Milani Liquif’Eye eyeliner (black), Burberry Beauty Brush. All of which made me ver’ happy and was bought at a significant discount *g*
Weekend Plans: Sleep, game with friends, work on Sunday.
Cooking: I make a fantastic dairy kugel, and my chicken soup is phenomenal.

Kafka Avatar

 @blueraccoon  That Burberry blush is gorgeous!!  And there are few things better than a fantastic bargain!  😉  What are Burberry brushes like? I imagine the quality must be outstanding and that they must be much better than MAC.  
 

blueraccoon Avatar

 @Kafka I *love* the blush – it gives me that almost porcelain doll quality, you know? In a good way! The brush is also fantastic; it’s pony and goat hair, and the one I have is basically a small kabuki. I haven’t had a chance to really play with it yet but I love that it’s very soft, but also pretty dense so it’ll pick up powders well.

Kafka Avatar

 @blueraccoon  It all sounds lovely and gorgeous. How long does the blush last on you?  May I say, the best part of the whole thing is that you got everything for a bargain. That warms my cheapskate heart to no end!  <grin>  I think I need to investigate further this phenomenom of blog sales. How do you hear about them? Just by generally following a blog? 
 

blueraccoon Avatar

 @Kafka I haven’t tested the full wear of the blush yet so I’m not sure; I know Christine has reviewed it though, so she may have notes? This particular blog sale I found out about because it’s a makeup blog I read, and she announced a few days in advance that she was having a blog sale, so I lay in wait until she went live. I bought everything I listed, including shipping and all, for $130, and it was so worth it.

Haul:I just bought nail polish remover
