I got paid today!!!

Post by feyith » Mon Oct 03, 2011 6:46 pm

Yay! After years of doing the broke student thing, I just got paid for my first week of work as a physical therapist! Man, it feels so good to live like a normal person again!!! Also, my 31st birthday is coming up soon so I am totally getting myself a hooray present. :mrgreen: What all from the new collection(s) are you ladies loving and think might be good for me? I'm especially curious about the eye lights.

No makeup but I do have contacts in. My natural color is brown. Thank you, girls! :D

Yay, money does make one happy with its uses ;)
Happy early birthday! How about starting with the Chicane/Jump/Ether trio? Would fit nicely into your collection, hehe.

As for the rest, I highly recommend the cream blushes, even if you already have the corresponding powder ones - even better! The combo of cream and powder stayed on my face for almost 10 hrs. You can also use the blushes as lippies, which may make a nice layering over the stains. Some seemed a bit too frosty on the lips, but I could live in Cherry Bomb :)

Engage and Beguile would look really nice on you, or even Provoke. Good luck picking!

Definitely some cream blushes--I love Tickle and just got Amuse and Candy Apple. I'm also wearing Model a lot. Magpie came today, too, and it is really pretty. I think you'd like Eden, too.

Thanks, Tracy and Andrea! You girls sure know my love of plums and purples! ;)

I think I need Chicane, Jump, Ether, Model and Phantom for sure.

I also have Amuse and Tickle and LOVE them and was wondering if the other colors are different enough to justify needing Candy Apple, Entice and Cherry Bomb. Tickle makes a very pretty lip stain. I bet the others would too.

I'm having a hard time narrowing down Engage, Provoke, Beguile, Captivate and Eden. Lord knows I don't need that many lip glosses when the cream blushes double as a lip stain as well. :lol:

They are very different, I have them all (not Entice, but the others). Candy Apply makes for a nice warm red blush/lippie, but super bright, so careful :) Cherry Bomb is pretty much like Tart Light compared to Tickle that's more in the Startdust category.
