March 5th, 2010 at 8:13 amI don’t like Smokey Eyes too much for spring, but I am Also intrigued b/c that Pixi pen looks adorbale! No description…thats annoying. 🙁 I just bought the Aquamarine BB palette and I LOVE IT! It makes super pretty, semi-smokey grey/aqua eyes that contrast with the coral lip gloss. I love it alot 🙂
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 8:21 amI think it’s a base primer… I hope it’s at Target so I can check it out.
NINA says
March 5th, 2010 at 8:52 amTGIF! Woohooo!!!
Its grocery night tonight, plus dinner out.
I might sneak the laundry in so im free of it this weekend … but even with that – I am so excited.
Im liking that Bengal palette … but oh my, so expensive!
I actually was manhandling a black quilted traincase at Target the other day … but couldnt bring myself to get another one. Might visit it again this weekend and who knows what would happen then?
I have 2 Lorac things in my stash – and my fave thus far is the Snake Charmer palette – so versatile and the quality of the shadows is pretty awesome.
The 24×7 duos are nice but … I have so much eye pencils id actually feel guilty for getting more. Wow is that me talking? 😛
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 2:56 pmLOL! I guess it’s nice to know that the Duos are there just in case you need them.
I’m with you on the LORAC shadows! They’re very silky and blend well. Have you ever tried the color Jade? It’s my fave.
Hope you get your laundry done before the weekend starts and HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY!
Nina says
March 5th, 2010 at 3:25 pmThe sharpener is a nice touch though!!!
I am so loving my Lorac palettes — they blend like a charm and the staying power is pretty good!
Im going to find Jade – it sounds like a green eyeshado and green is my favorite color.
Im going to put the laundry in before we leave for nom and groceries …. that way its going while were out.
Happy Friday, Karen and have an awesome weekend!
Hi to Tabs from our FurFamily!!!
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 3:51 pmIt always is. I’ve never tried the UD one… I bet it’s good!
Jade is super pretty. It’s a dark, shimmery green that looks fab paired with light pink or gold eyeshadow. I also like to use it w/smokey eye looks.
Tabs sends big kitty hugs to Anja, Linus and Mojo. 😀
Nina says
March 5th, 2010 at 6:57 pmI was just @ the Lorac website … lotsa tempting stuff there … and some on sale!!!
I smell trouble for my bank account LOL !!!!
Karen says
March 6th, 2010 at 9:33 amThey always have pretty good sales on their website. If you end up getting anything you MUST pick up the Front of the Line Pro liquid liner. It’s the best liquid liner I’ve ever tried, hands down!
lexi says
March 5th, 2010 at 9:03 amOOOOh I want that UD eyeliner duo – both sets! It’s been a while since I’ve bought UD…it’s time!
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 2:54 pmI’m definitely curious about the sharpener… they make it sound like the second coming, or something!
lexi says
March 5th, 2010 at 9:04 amOh and my plans this weekend is UNPACKING the rest of our boxes into our new house and PRO store in the Marina tomorrow afternoon!!!
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 2:53 pmWhen you’re done do you want to unpack mine? We’ve been here for five months and we’re still living out of boxes. 🙁
Glosslizard says
March 5th, 2010 at 9:16 amOkay, I’m kinda lovin’ on the black Caboodles! 🙂
lexi says
March 5th, 2010 at 10:22 amme too! I’ll be at Target on Sunday checking this out after trying to score the new Gaultier collection!
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 11:11 amHa ha, I have that date marked too! I am all over that shrunken trench coat.
Michelle says
March 5th, 2010 at 10:34 amOh my, this is hot. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m pretty much of a natural girl but do put on makeup when it’s time to go out.
I love the kitty, “represent”

Lisa S. says
March 5th, 2010 at 1:11 pmI love the HM ring! I love the smell of Butterfly and the price on this isn’t too bad!
As for Lorac, I got the train case thing that Sephora had around Christmas and I didn’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I don’t think I’ve used but maybe 3 or 4 times. On the other hand my Tarte palettes get used everyday. So maybe I just need to try a different Lorac palette to get a better idea. The price on this is super money friendly so it just might be the next thing I buy. For research purposes you understand……….;0)
Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 2:53 pmResearch… yup, I completely understand. 🙂
Vonvon says
March 5th, 2010 at 3:51 pmThat palette is a real piece of art! and the colors look very pretty. My kind of colors!

Karen says
March 5th, 2010 at 3:52 pmI know! It would break my heart to ruin the bengal design though.
