What I bought today
Heather M.
on shoes. The prices have been cut big time and they are buy one get one
free! I got a pair of Steve Madden mary jane mules in a medium brown color
and a pair of Skechers clunky dark red mary janes for $39.99 all together.
Heather M.
Melanie
shades of the Almay cream shadows and a backup Aquasmooth.
I had a coupon for the foundation and the clerk told me they are still
accepting manufacturer's coupons, so if anyone wants to brave the crowds and
the lines (and the mess! It was a disaster!) for bargains with this weekend's
newspaper coupons, there you go.

spending $50. Hmmm.
- yet another box of L'Oreal Couleur Experte, this time in 5.0 Caramel Glaze.
One, because I wanted to try another shade (I like Brioche but I think it's too
light/red for me in the long run) and two, because I live in fear of this stuff
being hard to find once the word gets out! And like a dope, I forgot to bring my
$5 coupon! D'oh!
- Dove Volumizing Color shampoo
- Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo for colored/permed hair
- Revlon Moistrous lipstick in Chocolate Drizzle (love the plum shade I already
have; unfortunately, this stuff suffers from the same malady as the new
Colorstay nail polish - not enough shades!)
- L'Oreal Crystal Infinite cream eyeshadow in Crystal Bronze
- Scunci detangling comb for DD who somehow lost her other one
- ibuprofin (oh yeah!)

And now you REALLY need the ibuprofen. <grin/duck>

I bought the shower gel that went with it! I was horrified there
might be a lotion, too, but I was at least spared that. Fortunately,
none of these are designer-cost items. kayper

-From a swap, got the HC Liquid fragrance. It's nice!
-from Aromaleigh, the Pure Cover in Alabaster and 2 large empty powder
sifter jars
and I ordered:
This thingee:

to keep lipsticks/glosses more organized. I'm going to put it in a drawer.
Also ordered 100 empty lip gloss pots from www.stuffjulielikes.com to keep
pigments in. Bob save me if I ever use them all!
Kim

we'll see how the results are!
Got some new Garnier Fruit shampoo too. Why? The color of the bottle
attracted me. I'm such a marketers' dream.
Also got the NARS Exhibit A blush. I think I liked it at Sephora; hopefully
I'll like it home as well.

Kim: Wasn't it you (forgive me if my memory is incorrect) who bought all those
rubberized plastic purple cubes from some closeout place that held nine
lipsticks a few years back? I'm still using those and they are terrific, but I
don't have enough room in my drawers for them all.
This looks even better! Let me know how it works for you, okay?

Mary in VA
- I got the new Bobbi Brown bronzer/blush duo in the light bronze/pale
pink version. Used it today. I love having brush AND bronzer in one
convenient package, and the Pale Pink is one of my favorite shades. Only
used a touch of the bronzer today, so I'm not sure how much I like it
yet. I've never used Bobbi's bronzer before; it looks so dark in the pan
(even the light shade) but I'm hoping it goes on very sheer.
- Also got a Soothing Face Tonic and one of the extra-large sized
Protective Face Lotions. I thought that only NM was carrying these but
Nordstrom apparently had them too. They only had two left and I got one
of them. Hurray! I use this SPF every day so this was a good deal for me.
- Almost bought another Even Finish Oil-Free Compact Foundation in Warm
Ivory (that would have been my third), but I let my friend Kim buy it
instead since they only had one in our shade left. I have about three
weeks left in my current compact, while she only had about three days! So
I made the sacrifice. Ha!

-- got painted up like a clown by the counter manager. I don't think "clown"
was the look she was going for, but that's what it turned out to be.
But no matter. I still found things I liked and I think they'll work nicely
when used with a lighter hand. I bought:
-- T-Zone Mattifier. Not that I haven't already tried every mattifier on
earth, but this one actually worked over makeup, so what the heck.
-- Age Control Eye Cream. Okay, in the midst of my everlasting oil slick, I
actually suffer with dryness around the eyes.
-- The new eyeshadow quad - it's the one with an opalescent white, soft pink,
peachy buff, and a gorgeous shimmery taupe
-- Lipstick in Pulsion
-- Ovation Glossimer
-- Force Glossimer
If the swatch on sephora.com is accurate, I probably would have loved Black Tie
Glossimer, but they didn't have it, which is probably heaven's way of putting
the brakes on my shopping spree.
Also, at the risk of inflaming our resident pnaty-trolls, I went to Victoria's
Secret and bought some unmentionables.
I'm off to find a chisel to try and scrape off some of this spackle...

Target, clearanced to under $5: Tigi Spray Wax. Also various boring shower
gels, etc.
TJ Maxx: Demeter set of Sugar Cookie in the big bottle, Graham Cracker, and
Brownie. Clearanced to $8. Also, I picked up an Oscar De La Renta scarf,
again clearanced to $8, so I need help with wearing it (I'm not usually a scarf
person but I love the color!) and will start another thread about that. :-)

At Sephora:

Komenuka Bijin cleansing powder. The darling Vicki in DC included
a packet in my Secret Santa package and I had to have more!
Nars Orgasm blush. I love Sin but I need a peachy blush.
Shiseido nail polish in Woody Brown (similar to OPI's Cuppa Cawfee,
which I'll never find again)
Stacy
Vicki in DC
Yay! I opened up your message in the hopes that you were replacing
something I had sent you in the SS gift, and sure enough you are.
Komenuka Bijin is indeed good stuff and I'll probably get some more
too when the weather turns warmer and my skin gets a bit oilier and in
need of a more scrubby type cleanser.
Orgasm is one of my staples for warm weather b/c it makes me look like
I have a natural, not fake tan. It looks so warm in the container yet
seems to work on many people w/ different types of coloring. It's
amazing stuff and I hope NARS never discontinues it.
Glad you're enjoying the goodies Stacy!

I'm a tad miffed that my Target still hasn't gotten any of the Tigi
products. Or the new Great Lash.
Today I bought a new table for the dining room and 7 new chairs.
Now I am on a mission to find the 8th chair. I also looked at some
new rugs for the master bedroom and #1 daughter's room. I think I
will call these new purchases my anniversary gifts and if I do end
up buying the rugs I will call them birthday gifts to myself.

first date. I went into the Hermes boutique and looked around--saw things
I'd like for me, but nothing for him. (The SA let me fondle a
Kelly bag. Now THAT was pretty nice. ;)
Ended up at the Rue Royal where I bought him four crystal Old Fashioned
glasses--clear except for a row of ovals cut into the base. They have such
nice things in that shop ... Christofle, Bernaudaud, Limoges ... I

The last time I was choosing a Chanel foundation, one of the Chanel MA's asked
if I'd like her to apply the color we chose all over my face. She did, and
added blush. Although she applied the blush conservatively, when I got home
and saw the amount of foundation I'd been walking around the mall with, I was
glad I hadn't run in to anyone I know. She had it caked on to the point where
it looked like I was wearing a mask. I've noticed that many of the Chanel MA's
wear a very heavy coating of foundation consistently, and this should have been
my clue to check out the application as soon as I left the Chanel counter.

2 Yankle candles (Plumeria, Roses of Cliff Walk), 2 tarts - Buttercream, French
Vanilla.
Then on my way home stopped at Victoria Secret (this place was mobbed).
Bought 5 pair of panties for my daughter (5 for $19.50 deal). They had some
cute ones w/candy hearts.
Body by Victoria bra for myself (I keep "experimenting" with VS bras trying to
find one that is comfortable - I think I need an 18 hr bra for comfort :)

Izod...my husband bought two polos plus a beutiful blue sweater at an
incredible markdown. I bought two items from the Izod tranquil
collection, pale blue soft comfortable yoga pants and a white tee that
coordinates. I see yoga clothes as a definite trend and these were so
soft and inexpensive. I also bought new navy shorts. I was impressed
by the quality of the clothing and the low prices at this outlet.
Polo...my husband bought khaki shorts and I got polo shirts for my
daughters. My son is not really a Polo guy. He has a few but prefers
other lines.

Audrey as I looked through some catalogues and magazines last night, I am
thinking yoga clothes is new terminology for what I have always called workout
sweats, workout clothes etc - guess they just needed a new name.
I recently purchased an outfit of a super synthetic fabric with a stripe up the
side and a same fabric hooded top - looks like what I have always purchased to
work out in but they were called yoga clothes.
Perhaps if they change the name to something a little more sassy and different,
the consumer will purchase a whole new workout wardrobe. Buyer psychology huh?

Definitely. These pants aren't as fitted as workout sweats. They
have a roomy cut and the legs are wide. My pants are a synthetic but
the coordinating top is about 90% cotton and then 10% nylon. I
definitey think these pants are a trend but they are wonderful.
Relaxation clothing seems more soothing than workout clothing :)

Boyfriend this afternoon, I was in a shoppin' kind of mood. However,
given that a. I live in a room the size of a shoebox and if I squeeze in
one more thing I don't think I'll be able to shut the front door and b.
I'm supposed to be saving money for the Real World (not the TV show, the
actual Real World), I think I restrained myself admirably -- especially
since the new spring stuff at Anthropologie is really amazing.
From Anthropologie, I ended up with:
*Black Sitwell flat-front pants in super-soft brush cotton, a subtly
cargo-esque style with velcro closures at the pockets (on sale for
nearly 50% off)
*Two headbands, each marked down from $18 to $2.95 (!); one is dark red
suede with eyelet cut-outs, the other is reversible brown and white
tweed / tan corduroy with red trim
And although I think I stopped in every store we walked past on the way
to dinner in Chinatown, nothing else! (Unless you count the messenger
bag Beloved Boyfriend bought in Yellow Rat Bastard as a vicarious
purchase, since I helped pick it out. But I don't.)

Indeed! Actually, my favourite is Finlandia filled chocolate..but rather

crystally slurp of vodka inside. Since I found them in a Sydney shop for the
equivalent of US$2.50 a box, I refuse to buy them anywhere else, and I
couldn't be bothered travelling all the way into the city today, so settled
for the Stoli.
I too have also tried the Tia Maria, Kahlua and Glenfiddich ones but return

Won on ebay this evening:
*Taryn Rose black Kristy shoes - they look like mary janes with a 1 inch
wedge heel. I've been wanting TR shoes ever since I tried them on (and
after fig raved about them too)...they truly feel like you are walking on
clouds. The auction ended at $81, and the retail is wayyyy more than
that!! I probably earned about $200 cofarbucks since I'm taking some off
since they are only slightly worn. :)
From Target:
*black cargo pants that are basically knockoffs of the ones from Joie that I
wanted (seen on shopbop.com), except they don't have that white stictching
that Joie has. Luckily I prefer them without the white stitching. The
Joie's are around $120 and the Target ones are only $20!!
*Vaseline Healthy Hand Essentials lotion - came with a free travel size
tube. Lemminged from Heather's rec that it makes nails strong. I like the
scent of this lotion and hope it works for me in the long run.
*Revlon new Colorstay foundation in Ivory - can't wait to try it tomorrow!

Today from eBay:
Mac Colouring Stick in Delusion, which is described as a pink with gold
irridescence.
Lancome Stick Express foundation in Pale 1 -- I'm taking a chance since I'm
going on gut instinct on this color, but the price is so right I can't turn it
down.
OTOH, DH sniped a targa band for the little car, which he might turn around and
sell at a hefty profit, so I don't feel badly at all for spending bucks to keep

Devices to drown out office BS are always fashionable.... even if it
is Shania Twain's "Up" in three different colors.

I've noticed, though, that fresh fruit gets moldy quicker in wooden bowls.

Suave Naturals Conditioner--Aloe Formula
Lots of people are raving about this on curlygirl.com and I wanted to try it
out. I liked the formula.. not too thick or goopy. Also want to test out the
coconut, but that's another trip home I think.
Great Lash Very Black mascara
Eh... not too keen really. I'll have to give it another go but it didn't seem
that much blacker and the formula is quite thin and dry. Might work as a light
second coat.
Colorstay Foundation (new formula)
Really impressed with this after one wearing. Lovely color too--Buff was
perfect for me.
Covergirl Midnight Blue automatic liner pencil
This was one of the Navy recommendations made to me in my search for the
ultimate navy pencil. Yick--too pastel-y "blue". I need a navy that's very
close to black, or a slate grey. I don't like obvious blue tones around my
eyes at all.
Volum'express mascara, curved brush
We have this in England but it's a lot more expensive. I picked up a tube while
I was home... I know I like it.
Devacurl products, Devachan salon
I ordered this from England and had it shipped to my mom. I got the No Poo,
One Conditioner and Angell gel. They're all wonderful products. But they're
kind of a pain to order. They need a website!
I was totally bummed to realize that I forget completely to check out the
Maybellline Wet Shine Diamonds lipstick and lipgloss colors when I was there.
Ah well--I'm going back in May, so I'll have to remember then!

Squirrel" store and buy a birthday present for a little friend of my
daughter's. I bought the present, an AG birthday card, and a roll
of AG wrapping paper, (BTW, this is on-topic because I bought an outfit!)
Then I went into the Polo store and bought my son a rugby shirt, a
zip-neck sports shirt, and two pairs of socks. Eyed but did not get close
to the women's fashion. FWIW, the stuff inside is much nicer than the
ridiculous crap in the window displays. Example: the window that
fronts Michigan Avenue features a multi-colored crochet tube-top and
a sheer prairie skirt with an assymetrical hem and about five tiers of
ruffles. Each is bad enough on its own, but the combination is execrable.
Went to NM to get out of the way and check out the new Lulu
pocketbooks. On the way my AG shopping bag tilted and the wrapping paper
rolled out into Michigan Avenue and into ongoing traffic. Because the
wind was so strong, it rolled and rolled, getting run over by a bus and a
couple of cars while I waited for the light to change. Finally I could
enter the crosswalk, but the tube rolled away from me. A nice man coming
in the other direction scooped it up and handed it to me--a few people in
the crowd cheered and applauded. And they say chivalry is dead ...
At NM the Lulu Guinness embroidered with lily of the valleys caught my
eye. It is a dream of beauty--the prettiest one yet, I think--and I plan
to get it. I suppose I'll get it during Butterfly Days (whatever they
are) or the cosmetics day when I pick up my second jar of CdlM (fwiw, I
bought the first jar a year ago at a Vanities event, so it's true; the
stuff really does last that long) but I am definitely getting it. It's a
simple straw tote with pale green leaves and white lily of the valleys,
beaded but not in an over-the-top way, and it will work with my Lillies.

Thanks Lynn, and Danielle1973 too. They say she's a year old and her name is

She's not terribly big considering that shepherds and labs are both good-sized

This is weird...was her name originally Sadie and did you get her
at the Humane Society on Macklind? I'm just looking through the
Saturday Post and the "Pet of the week" sounds like Daisy...year old
shepherd mix, cute, smart, loyal, loves to play fetch and sits on command.

Lynn,
Nope, that's not her, but we did go to that H.S. --Sadie is still there and she
was sweet! I remember there was a reason we didn't visit with her in the
little room, though, but I can't remember what the reason was. I think it may
have been that the little card said she jumped fences...I know several had that
noted and with two little kids I can't go chasing an AWOL doggie.
I felt better after the people told me they don't euthanize dogs anymore unless
they get really sick. There were tons more dogs there than were listed online,
and I think I checked out nearly every one of them. Ours wasn't listed in the
photos they have at hsmo.org but there are lots of great dogs!

Oh I can understand that!
It was just odd that Sadie's write up said everything you had just
said about Daisy. (Thought I was getting a sneak peek at Daisy
too...darn it.) ;)

I'm glad they don't euthanize anymore!
It's hard to look at the dogs, in person as well as online...I
want *all* of them! I searched for months before I found my baby, Cody,
last year. I got him through Pet Rescue St.L...they were adopting out
of that new PetsMart on 141 (I think, I don't know that area very well)
but now even their website is down.
Anyway, I'm glad you got Daisy, I'm sure she's very thankful for
her new forever home! Give her a huggle for me, will you? ;)

I had a dog as a kid...half lab, quarter collie, quarter German
shepherd. Not a big dog at all, so this doesn't surprise me. It was
also a good thing, since I named her Puppy. She looked like a small
lab.

Colorstay Nailpolish--purchased Limitless Lilac, Forever Scarlet and
Extremely Pink (someone at Revlon should really work on these names).
I love these polishes for their staying power, but I'm not crazy about
the colors; I think they lack the depth and uniquiness in other lines.
I was particularly thinking about the Forever Scarlet vs. I'm not
really a waitress.
And my drugstore rant: I finally found the polish in a display on the
TOP shelf above all of the shampoos, about 7' off the ground. Why?? I
think it's safe to assume that the majority of the target nailpolish
market is not that tall. After a fruitless search for an employee to
help me, I stood on the bottom shelf and blindly pulled down bottles
until I got colors I was interested in.

At Target:
-3 WnW 666 lip pencils. I really like this color, but I've never considered
this a nude.
-1 WnW 664 lip pencil. I've never tried this color before, but it looks
like a nice lighter actual lips color.
-Tupperware cake carrier. I cook cakes enough that this will be useful. I
figure that I can also carry chickens in it.
-assorted food items. DH & I are trying to be good about cooking for

reenergie lift cream, a clippy thing for the hair, and a lipstick that is
so-so in color. And of course the leather-look burgundy bag to hold all the
