  40. hi karen!
    stopping by to say hi for the week as usual. it’s funny how tabs looks so much like daria werbowy for lancome (i guess it’s the eyes)!

    i’ve been craving a fuchsia/hot pink lip stain/sheer wash or color recently… got any recommendations? i’m fairly light skinned (MAC NC20 at my DARKEST, post-summer state) and have ivory/yellow undertones. bobbi brown lip gloss in hot pink is the closest i got to, but no lasting power on that one (and also leaves loads of hot pink on my guy’s face), and the stickiness forces me to layer it with lip balm… it’s so hard to find that one perfect holy grail color!

    wishing you a great week!

    Le list

    Mood: productive! i actually got seven hours sleep last night, so i’m running on less caffeine!

    Eyeshadow: PUPA cosmetics natural eyes 01 (satiny peach-nude), etude eyeshadow single in london brown (shimmery neutral golden brown with peach undertones), benefit high beam under the brow bones

    Fragrance: lolita lempicka le premier parfum l’eau de minuit (my boy’s favorite! makes him all drooly)

    Anxious about…: actually doing EVERYTHING that’s on my plate this week. every single day until saturday starts at six thirty, and ends at one thirty in the morning.

    Happy about…: having decaffeinated successfully.

    Blush: benefit high beam on cheekbones, l’oreal paris true match super-blendable blush in baby blossom C1/2/3 on apples.

    Nails: creative nail desigh toughen up + super shiney topcoat. filed square. trying to grow them out nicely

    Morning drink: drip coffee, black with two sugars

    Song of the day: cumparasita (electrotango remix) – my argentine tango piece for the 22th of november!

    Goals for the week: tough it out for the next two weeks and get ahead so when second round of midterms come out, i can make it to dance practice. spend one day just cuddling on the sofa with my man and a plate of nachos 🙂

  46. Hi Ellery,

    I am really glad to hear that you’re feeling better. Are you feeling 100%?

    You know I’m a shoe freak so I hope you send me a pic to your new kicks!

    Wow, I’m so happy for you! Moving in with the BF is a big step… when El Hub and I first moved in together we went through a transition period (we fought a lot about cleaning, as we have different ideas of clean) where it was kinda rough, but after that everything got better and better.

    HOW CUTE are those costumes! I might get Tabs a red wig that looks like Pippi Longstocking, but I’ll end up getting that if I can’t find anything better. I also doubt that he’ll wear it for long.

  53. I’m feeling amazing now thank you. 🙂

    I’m a total clean freak, I think I’ll be the one doing the cleaning since my BF is a typical man and doesn’t care about mess. I think we’re gonna stay at his house for a few days to see what it’s like to live together, then move in, since we’ll be moving into a property his dad owns.

    Tabs would look so adorable, you have to take pictures of him! I hate the way cats are with clothes and costumes, lol, dog’s just sit there with them on.

  83. Hi Ines,

    It’s always so good to hear from you!

    After reading your pink lip request I immediately thought of Laura Mercier’s Rose Glace Lip Glace ($22). The website says that it’s red pink, but on me it registers as a hot pink. It packs a lot of color, but it isn’t too sticky. Dunno if you even have a LM counter near you, but if you do let me know, and I can do a swatch for you.

    If not, then we’ll move onto round two, aka, other options!

  87. Hi Ellery,

    Glad to hear you are feeling better!

    A trial run is a good idea. Maybe you two can discuss how you feel about cleaning and how chores are distributed and whatnot. Also there’s the matter of paying for groceries and bills… Getting through all the mechanics and day-to-day details can be a challenge at first, but I swear it’ll still be romantic and wonderful! You will learn so much about your partner and it’s definitely a learning experience to live with somebody you are committed to.

  97. Yeah he’s great. Actually I meant to tell you…so generally he’ll see me reading something on my laptop and laughing and his response is usually…”Is that your makeup friend.” Which is totally how he refers to you…as my makeup friend. So the other day we went to a pick your own farm and picked some apples and a few of the last tomatoes and peppers since it hadn’t frosted yet. When we left we were trying to decide where to go…and he said “Okay go home and eat now, or go to Walmart…You must Decide.” LOL I think I may talk to him too much about makeup :)…and yeah I told him that it was you must choose…

    I have never actually tried Garnier body cocoon but i have just added it to my list of things im going to buy on monday 3rd November when we are having a special day where Boots have doubled our staff discount so i will get 25% off high end brands and 50% off boots stuff!! I think im going to try some protect and perfect stuff as it will be half price and i must be one of the only women in england who hasn’t tried it yet!!

  109. LOL It’s funny to me now how we met because the boyf is pretty shy… but anyway one evening after work last January I decided to go to circuit city to look for a phone charger because I had lost mine over the holidays and it was right down the street. So being the Klutz that I am, I spilled like half the contents of my purse in the parking lot and he was coming out of circuit city and happened to walk by and he was nice enough to stop and help me pick up my stuff… and I of course thanked him and made some comment about being a klutz and we just started talking. It’s funny now…because when I remember back I can in my mind see how uncomfortable he was…although it didn’t fully register at the time LOL I mean I don’t really go out of my way to talk to strangers…but I’m pretty friendly once I do talk to someone. The thing is that the DC area is not really a super-friendly area. So the boyf had just days before made a new years resolution to make efforts to meet new people…because he only had a couple friends in the area…and the aforementioned shyness did not lend to getting out and making tons of friends. So thus when I started talking to him he decided it was the perfect opportunity to try to overcome his shyness and talk to me. 🙂
