We know what you mean – our product testers get carried away too!
Happy Valentine’s Day?
Sarah caught this at the local market.
What is a pristinely clean teddy bear doing strapped to the front of a Hummer? Hm, this is either:
1) Someone’s way of diffusing the angry crowds for not driving a hybrid Prius
2) Valentine’s Day gift
3) Effigy of Ex-partner that will be mutilated against a myriad of concrete dividers, bumpers and trees by the Day of Love’s end.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Girls Night Out 2.0 – Mequon, WI Feb 21,22
Time again for Girls Night Out at Shoot the Moon Photography in Mequon. The event last year was hot hot hot and we hope to see you there. Stop by, say hello to Michelle, and get pampered!
MAC: Fafinugen
Fahrvergnugen = the pleasure of driving German
Fafinugen = the pleasure of French face painting
So I cruised by MAC tonight, braving yet another blizzard and 7* weather, to pick up another piece or two from the N collection when I realize I can’t find it anywhere on the counter. I asked someone who was working the counter where it was and was told they had to make room for the new collection, so it was…and they all hunted around until they turned up a poor, little beaker with some sad used samples left. I really only wanted the lipstick, and all they had was N2.
Me: “Ok then, let’s look at the new collection” I said, eyeing the whimsical display they were hard at work assembling. The French graffitti artist Fafi’s art graces the boxes, and a set of 3 makes a complete picture.
Her: “Oh, it doesn’t really launch until tomorrow…we don’t usually put the display out until the actual day, but we needed to get a headstart because this one takes a little more work. Come back tomorrow!”
Me, contemplating yet another drive in crappy blizzard: “Ok, what if you show me the colors to see if I should come back.”
Her: “Just a minute” (runs and checks with supervisor) “Oh, sorry, we can’t even show the colors…”
Me:”Ok…(suspiciously eyeing very cute pink color on her lips)…”Are you cheating and wearing the new color?” (clearly she was)
Her: “Oh! Yes, I am cheating, and, but, oh…”
And I got the full rundown of what was available.
I am highly recommending those Lipglasses!
However, sans camera, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get your own glimpse, or check out MAC’s website.
You MUST read this!
Billy B had an extraordinary night at the Grammys last night. Read on for inspiration that dreams do come true…
I’d love to make my brown eyes blue…
I have been a bit bummed at the slow reporting on Fashion Week this season. I can’t figure out what aligning of planets or supernatural experience is causing such a weak show this year (hey guys, no pressure!). However, bits and pieces have been coming in, and one in particular brought back some great memories. Annie at Blogdorf Goodman did a little writeup on Threeasfour. The clothes, photos from style.com, are total knockouts. However, it was the blue mascara that got me swooning.
Blue mascara is my absolute favorite, and most fickle, and hard to find, item. It has been so many ages since I found a good, waterproof blue. I don’t mean navy (which in it’s own right is a tad scarce), but a beautiful, nearly electric blue. And it really does have to be in season so as not to frighten the unsuspecting. I feel renewed and refreshed to start my hunt again.
That, and my next dream would be for Max Factor to revive the blue-with-silver-flecks, thick eyeliner pencil that once ruled in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Anyone remember what I am talking about? Spacey, but gorgeous. A girl can dream.
