Also, people, seriously if you like Mac shadows check out Inglot. They're a few dollars cheaper, pigmented, on the same level quality wise and they have all sorts of colors. I'm not sure their website could be any slower, but they're worth checking out

The good news, is that I brought my lunch today and didn't spend any money on food. The also good news, but no so good for my bank account is that I went to Nordstrom Rack and spent $50 on makeup instead. I was doing so good and was only going to get the Lorac Mint Palette (only $17). I had put everything else my I had picked up back and then a woman who worked at the store walked over with some new stuff including the Nars Foreplay cheek palette and yeah I was no match. Blush is so pretty. So, there went another $35.
Raisins are a cruel, nasty, unnecessary thing to do to an innocent grape. Grapes have a higher calling of juice, wine and jelly.
Mmmm wine. You lost me at jelly, so we'll just focus on wine.
I dislike them because they can kill my dog and those shrived little bastards can be hard to find depending on where you drop them. Raisins are the shit that keeps me up at night. Ok, I don't take it that far, but I am more skeptical of raisins than any other food because they're sketchy little bastards.
I saw "bad ingredients" and I was all ready to rail on and on about the evils of raisins only to find y'all are talking about, like, poison and serious shit.
Religion. It's all about religion. I think religion needs to stay the fuck out of politics. That is all.
Yes and no. I believe that there are a large number of people who believe that abortion is about religion, that it is an affront to God. I think those people are the pawns of the corporate class that want to get people to the polls voting against abortion so that they can turn around and put into place policies that favor corporations rather than actual people. I know it seems odd, but I don't think you would have had the decision in Citizens United *without* the anti-abortion crowd. I don't think most politicians are really pro-life. I think they just court that demographic so that they can push through tax policies and corporate contracts that favor the economic elite.
Keeping people down, not giving people total control over their lives etc. is something that works out pretty damn well for a lot of people.

Frankly, I think they just don't give a fuck. They don't care what the reasons are because it will never affect them. And I don't say that in just a men can't get pregnant sense. Politicians, for the most part, are rich (at least at higher levels). They will never have to choose between having an abortion and being able to continue to feed the child they already have. They will never have to worry about whether or not insurance/medicaid covers abortion because they have enough money in their bank accounts to cover the costs. It's not just about them being men, it's about them being rich, white men who even when their families face the decision of whether or not to have an abortion they will ALWAYS still have the choice. They don't give a fuck because it doesn't affect them
You guys I want Lollitint so bad but for some reason I'm having a harder time than usual justifying $30 for it. I was hoping I could get a sample at Sephora the other day but they weren't being helpful at all and I got annoyed and left.
In addition to the sample heyjude mentioned, there is also a Korean Brand that has a pretty good knockoff. I just bought it Sunday and while I think I prefer lollitint, the actual tint they both left on my had was identical and I was able to get it a Hmart for half the price. They're called Peripera Peri Tints. I had heard the milk tints were pretty good benetint knockoffs and the lollitint definitely seems to be. Lollitint is a bit nicer going on, but colorwise they seem really similar
Most of these suits companies do make their sizes in a long, but not for every suit and I feel you on the navy blue and black being the majority of "Long" sizes available. My mom has this problem, too. I think it's gotten better in the past ten years though.
Try finding a plus sized lap suit in anything other than black and navy. Apparently Speedo and Tyr and the like think that we don't like having color options.
I'M ON TO YOU, ASSHOLES.
Metro Swim shop has some Aqua Sphere suits that are still boring as fuck, but they do have suits in non-navy blues and a pink one.

I store some of my makeup on one of these. I use it so i can wheel my makeup over to the couch and play while watching cappy tv, but it may be an option for people that are limited on space near a mirror.
random question: is beauty included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? And/ or when does the 10% sale end? IIOYeclaires
Beauty is included in the anniversary sale. MAC usually does some Nordstrom exclusive sets that I always want, but never buy. A lot of the other brands will do similar discounted sets or gifts with purchase.
We've concluded that UD's black liner sucks. What's good? I hear good things about MAC but I would like an item available at Sephora (where I have a coupon) or Ulta (for when I finally pull the afterglo trigger and need things to get to free shipping).
Has anyone tried Tarte's?
Is there a drugstore liner that won't end up all over within 1 hour?
I always need to set pencil eyeliners with shadow or they end up all over the place. Lately I've been in love with Bobbie Brown's gel liner because it's holds really well and doesn't need to be set. Sometimes I still use powder just to even out my line because straight lines aren't my strong point, but it's not necessary.
Ok, so CYY ... Is it just my husbands love for deeper pinks and reds or is it not good. I am positive I look better in other colors, which is why I'm having a hard time judging if I can pull it off.
I think you can pull it off but I would experiment with cooler eye colors with it.
I knew it definitely wasn't ideal with the eyeshadow I had on. I'm like a five year old and am incapable of sticking with the plan when I have a bunch of makeup in front of me.
Hahah in his defense he only had good things to say about YSL Rouge Volupte in Fuscia in Rage, which is also a pretty bright color, just more purple. Clearly, I'm going to need to take a picture at some point because even before he said something I was a bit unsure if CYY was working for me
I liked it better when I used a lip brush to put it on. I'm not sure why. It looked slightly more natural and less crazy.
That kind of interferes with my laziness, but I guessss I'll have to give it a try.
FYI, if you are craving MAC shadows without the price, I got four pans from Makeup Geek, used three of them this morning, and think the pigmentation is good.
Inglot is also a fantastic substitute for mac at a slightly cheaper price point. Their "freedom system" palettes are awesome. The lid has magnets that connect it to the bottom, and somehow it is both insanely secure and also easy to take off. You can also stick the lid to the bottom of the palette while your using it and the magnets will hold it for you. It's all fancy and shit.

I've never used the balm, but the regular Take the Day off has always worked amazingly well
It gets everything off without drying or making my skin oily, at all. I don't know how it works, but I will definitely be getting it again when I run out. I can't believe how quickly it takes off eye make-up, too.
Oh, I'm going to need to try this because the regular TTDO is a bit on the oily side.

I know this got brought up last year and I believe some people may have joined teams. I just wanted to let people know that all of the 2014 bowl-a-thons are happening this month and now is the perfect time to donate to your favorite fund(s). Please give to your local fund and if you don't have one give to the one that is most local to you as that is likely the fund that in some fashion ends up helping families in your area.

If she's only reimbursing the other owner for days not used in the package then she's not actually out a dime for that, she never provided those services. She should be paying in full.

I am obsessed with Le Metier de Beaute's blush in Echo. I got it in one of their Kalidescopes at Off Saks for like $35 and have fallen in love. What I'm not in love with is that it's small and will not last forever. The single blush is $30 and is also small, but it's so gorgeous. It's kind of like Nars Orgasm, but with less sparkle. It has a really nice shimmer though.
Obviously, the corally pink is the blush in question
No, you don't get 1 year for every $350. When you hit $350 in a year you get VIB for the remainder of that year and the following year. Anything spent beyond that within the year just gets you closer to VIB rouge, it doesn't tack on VIB years
So you have to spend $350 every year and a half basically?
Not really, you only have Jan1-December 31 to spend the $350, but because a lot of people don't qualify until December, they give it to you the year you qualify plus the next year. But, that next year you will have to qualify again if you don't want to lose it come January of the following year.
So, everyone qualifying this year will get the rest of 2014 plus all of 2015. If you qualify again in 2015 you'll be covered for the rest of 2015 (which you already had from the 2014 qualification) plus 2016. It's the first year that makes it confusing because you get a year and change. I think it's their way of ensuring people get a full year, but they do all the counts based on calendar year rather than the day you qualify, which is great for customers
Oh! This is promising--so is it that you get a year for every $350 you spend? If so I expect I'll be good through 2015 this year too.
Yep, that's my understanding! Which is nice that you don't have to go all the way up to $500 again for it to keep.
