Thanks for the compliments- I'm still learning to style layers (you know it never looks quite as perfect as when you leave the salon) but learning how to give my hair a blowout helped a lot.

This picture isn't one of my best, but i promised a pic of homecoming queen and prowl:

Love your hair! By the way, I finally purchased that Avon supershock mascara that you raved about. Can't wait to try it out.

Do you have a swatch of Peachy Keen on the skin?

Thank You! I just got my layers put back in today (i went a bit too long in between visits) so it's salon styled. I love Avon supershock- it's my HG :)

I didn't think my skin swatches came out too great so i didn't post them, but here they are:
peachy keen, menage, bella, and mazeltov on the bottom

200+shadows, pretty much every lippie to be released (there's 125 lip products on the website right now- i have a lot more.) and all the balms(26- pomegranate not pictured because DH keeps stealing it- he needs one for his work pants and one for his coat and one for his car... lol)

That's 95 3g jars, not including anything that i lost (i lost the color &quot;surprise&quot; during a move once) and including any regular products that happen to come in a 3g jar (coal, intergalactic, etc)<br />The blush board has at least a sample of every powdered SN blush ever released (i count 49). I have all the cream blushes too, they're just not on that board.

I am impressed!))) Gorgeous)))

And best wishes to your dear husband and his patience)))

At the beginning of my addiction my husband even liked it as I was making beautiful and "brave" makeups, but when I got more obsessed with owning colors and just playing with then with wearing (usually I prefer "it's me, but better" look) he thinks I'm not better then our son asking for more Lego)) Lego and SN - stackable items))

I have shown him your photos and said that's what I am going to have some day. He said - Well, she rally has a lot and it will take you time to get to this point. So I have time to get used to it)))

One question - what about shelf life? How do you deal with it?
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow
