I am definitely going to have to try and hunt down Milani in my town. I'm thinking Wal-Greens might have it.
Bare Escentuals is on QVC tomorrow, I want to watch the show if only to see if I can glean any better application tips. I really do like the mineral foundation.
There is a set in the catalog that was sent along with my order that really intrigues me. It has in it a shimmery peachy-pink blush, similarly colored e/s, a glimmer that looks alot like Magic Mushroom and a burgundy lipcolor. While I'd love to try the mineral makeup, I'm not sure I can spring another 32$+shipping. Plus, my order took such a ridiculous amount of time to get here, I'm a little gun-shy of ordering by mail again. But that color combo has piqued my interest. I am self-professed queen of recreating expensive makeup looks with cheeeeap items, so I'm going to start looking. I'm thinking the Prestige line might have what I'm looking for and if I can find Milani. That Antique Gold shadow sounds like it might work. Magic Mushroom didn't work all that well for me. The BE blush sounds alot like Orgasm now that I think of it, doesn't it?
Even if I can't find the blush and e/s, I am definitely going to be on the hunt for a burgundy lipstick. Thats one color I've not had in my stash for years. What was the name of that lovely Loreal burgundy from years back? BAH! There was that one and a beautiful rose, Color Endure, I think they were. Those have been axed a long time, yes? No? My memory fails me. A rich, deep, ripe burgundy sounds perfect now for the holidays.
I poked around my Big Lots too and it had crap. Why am I surprised? The longhair boards reported that Big Lots also had Avalon Organics shampoo and conditioner for like $1.75.
Nope. Not here.
All they had in jane were Cinnamon Stick and something Penny lippies.
I caught sight of my reflection tonight in the window while we were dining at Wendys. I had this perfect ivory and rose complexion. It took me a second to realize it was my reflection and not someone on the outside. strange.
I think when I take inspection of my face, skin and makeup I am nose to the mirror and that looks alot different than when standing several feet back from a window reflection. It was still an odd feeling moment, not recognizing myself and realizing I look alot better, WAYYYY better, than I think I do when I'm nose to nose with my mirror.
