I opened the Estee Lauder and MUFE, so I'll alternate between those two for now. I'll be jeeping track to see, but think I'll be good for many months lol. Being that they lean towards full coverage is a plus.

I love me some full coverage! Btw they should have something that looks like this:



Which means lasts for 12m after opened or w.e it says inside the container picture /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That'd be nice. Since getting the two high end foundations, I've noticed I'm not really using concealer much. Yay! Usually a little corrector for my under eye circles or a small dab of concealer when I get > 5 hours of sleep.. happy girl here!

Same. I recently bought the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation, and I use very little product to get the coverage I want which is fairly full, and also, no concealer. It's amazing what a difference there really is!!

I study classical voice and am usually singing a Händel aria.  I'm afraid I usually listen to music you'd probably associate with someone four times my age.  I may have to listen to Sade tomorrow morning though.

My Clarisonic Mia wooooooooooooot so excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also it's my 1 year anniversary w the bf /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it's a gewd day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay for your Clarisonic arriving!  I hope you love it!  (Would you mind if I asked why you chose the Mia?  There seem to be so many options.  I've been considering the one with the orange floral print, but that's only really because it looks fun.)

CONGRATULATIONS on the anniversary!!!  I hope you guys do something nice to celebrate.

OMG!  I love you!  I've never known what that means!!!  

 

ETA: I can't seem to find that symbol on some of the products I use.  The products that do have that symbol somewhere on the packaging seem to all say "12m" (except mascara).  Do any of you know what it might mean if the packaging (box and container) doesn't have that symbol?  Surely it can't mean that the product will never expire.

Lol, naah. I grew up listening to classical music (dad's got a mad love affair with Beethoven). While I don't always recognize the actual composers, I can appreciate the music and emotions evoked. I remember that Immortal Beloved movie, there's a scene where Beethoven is describing the music composition to a man and the music conveys his desperation and frustration trying to reach someone. I was a kid and that somehow stuck with me.

Same here with my HD MUFE, no need for concealer with that, I love it, it covers, but doesn't make me look washed out <3

I won't sit down and listen to that kind of music, but like Linda said, I can appreciate it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I only remember that song, because a colombia comedian has a skit where he signs it the way it sounds and it's hilarious XD 

Well first of all cuz it's the cheapest, second cuz it's the cheapest and third cuz it's the cheapest lmao jk the bf's mom has it and really recommends it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So I got that one, also cheapest XD

Thank you ^^ I hope so too, lol! Idk if he has anything planned, it's a work day for him though, so we might celebrate it tomorrow 

Lmao, well now you know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> mmm well that definitely doesn't mean it will never expire XD Usually products that have it, will be creams or liquids, though you can always check out this site here, to see when something expires and what not /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Really useful site, I love it.

Hubby took me to Lush today. I got:

Avobath bath bomb, Buffy, Ocean salt scrub (large) and popcorn lip scrub.

Would the skin happen to be in Spanish?  

HAHA!  I like your reasoning!  What color did you get?

You could also make a weekend out of it.  

Thank you!  I'll have to check out (and bookmark) that site.

I have yet to watch Immortal Beloved.  We watched a clip in class last semester and I was nearly sobbing by the end of it.  I've kind of been avoiding watching it because I know I'll get way too emotional.  We also watched a clip from a Chopin movie and I was silently sobbing when they destroyed his piano.  The scene from the Harry Potter series that upset me the most was when Peter Pettigrew/Wormtail was scampering across the piano (which was in serious need of some TLC).  I've had a deep love of all keyboard instruments since I was little and used to tune pianos.  Watching any instrument being harmed or destroyed - especially keyboard instruments - breaks my heart.  To me, it's quite similar emotionally to losing a close loved one.

Yes ma'am the skit is in Spanish /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Pink, purple is my color, but I didn't like the purple shade of the Clarisonic, also thought the Mia name goes well with the color pink O.O that sounds dumb XD 

Yeah that too, specially since I'm going back home on Monday and won't see him for a while D: 

Definitely bookmark the site ^^ It gives you a bunch of info and they have a lot of brands there.

Would it be safe to assume you're bilingual?  If so, that is amazing!  I've wanted to learn Spanish for a while, but I can't seem to get the accent down - I don't have a problem with written Spanish, but spoken Spanish really throws me for a loop.

Haha I can totally see Mia as a pink sort of name.  

I hope you have a safe trip!

I love movies about music, musicians. I'm a Beethoven fan, so Immortal Beloved is my cake topper. I also loved Amadeus, Shine, The Piano, The Red Violin.... too many! Then, there's musicals. .lol. Shakespeare said it best inThe Twelfth Night.." If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it..." /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lmao I'm hispanic so yeah XD I am bilingual and took some Portuguese in school, but lack of practice made me forget, mom's pushing me to go learn more Portuguese though lol Yeah getting the accent is kinda hard, but I don't think that matters as long as what you say makes sense /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> People might giggle at americans trying to speak Spanish, cuz it sound funneh. If you have a problem with rolling "r"s that's not much of an issue, not all countries roll them ^^ Mine doesn't XD 

IKR? Mia sounds so pink XD

yeah...traveling...I don't like it. I'm just panicking hoping people at customs back home don't try to charge me taxes for my makeup, I'll raise hell if they do -.-'

I grew up listening to it as well. My mom used to sing opera professionally but has long since retired. Frequently we had classical music or opera playing in our house. I was even an "extra" in Madame Butterfly when I was 4. I must admit I have a secret love of dramatic classical music. Night on Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky anyone? I also really enjoy new groups remaking the beautiful old songs with a harder edge like Evanescence singing Lacrymosa or Apocalyptica playing Hall of the Mountain King. Gives me chills.

I agree. I live in Southern California which has a huge Mexican population so you do learn quite a bit just by being here. I definitely speak Spanglish but can't have in depth conversations. I would like to learn it properly though. Around here that is a big plus for getting a job.

Now back to the subject at hand: I just got more Konad plates so I am going to be stamping fool for the next week or so! YAY.

Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> See a lot of hispanics living in the US, specially mixed ones have broken Spanish, which I find to be a shame, I've spoken to people that have horrible grammar and just end up speaking spanglish(hispanic ppl).

/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I want plates, but Konads are pricey, I've heard they are the best though

Oh. my. God.  I love you.  Music AND Shakespeare?  

  Two of my favorite music movies are Amadeus and The Red Violin (like most violinists, I adore and am so grateful to Antonio Stradivari, the Stradivari family, and how much they improved the viol family).  I haven't seen The Piano yet and haven't heard of Shine, but I definitely want to check both of them out.

If you haven't yet, you should check out Company.  It's available for instant streaming on Netflix.  I saw it for the first time a few months ago.  I'm singing You Can Drive A Person Crazy with 2 other voice students and wanted to see the rest of the show after watching YouTube clips.

I speak French and bits of most languages except Spanish and African languages (I would love to learn Xhosa though).  Part of why I don't really try with Spanish is because I can't roll my R's.  I've been speaking French for what seems like forever and have a tendency to use the French R when speaking other languages.  It's kinda pathetic.

Wow.  I'm glad the last time I left the country was in 2005/2006.  I didn't realize they could tax you for makeup.

Jaw. on. floor.  You were in Madama Butterfly?!  That's amazing!  Since you enjoy dramatic music, would it be safe to assume you like Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)?  I've had both of the Queen of the Night arias on my music/voice lesson wish list for such a long time.  We watched Apocalyptica in class last semester.  I don't usually like it when someone messes with classical music, but I really enjoyed Apocalyptica.  They sort of reminded me of Rasputina.

Is it easy to do nail stamping?  It seems cool, but I'm worried about the possibility of having my occasionally shaky hands mess up my entire awesome manicure.

I'm soooo jelly! I always wanted to learn to play the violin! My ultra fave instrument ever ever ever lol.

How adorable! Yes, classical music/opera and it's modern counterparts or spins is great stuff! 

I suppose my alter ego would be a violin opera singing leather and lace kinda gal lol! Sarah Brightman meets Joshua Bell or something like that? Anyhoo...back to the discussion at hand, sorry for overrunning the threads all!
