I'm taking a second to have a pitty party here, because I have nowhere else the people involved wont see it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yet again another pregnancy announcement in the family, and yet again I'm stuck sitting here feeling sad, jealous, and "useless" due to fertility issues.  Every time I turn around somebody is pregnant or just had their baby, or I'm stuck at a little toddlers bday party. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   Then the newest announcement comes from a couple so adamant they don't want kids for a long time, if at all, like they're trying to prove how much they don't want kids now.. and now they rub it in everybody's face that they are pregnant.  Rubbing salt into my heart, lol.  

It really sucks to be "broken", not qualified to adopt, can't afford medical help to get pregnant.  And then to make matters worse, all those busy popping kids out like pop tarts sit there and tell me don't give up, pray, God gives you what you deserve.. Really?  That is one of the most hurtful things to tell a woman who can't have kids.  All these people on drugs, prostitutes, welfare leaches who work the system, people killing their babies..they deserve to have a kid, and I don't?  Ugh.. Just.. Ugh... I'm so tired of them (my husband's family) acting like it is no big deal for us, they are so insensitive and rude.  It has been 9 years now, it isn't going to happen.  It isn't like I can just go take a pill and be all better, and no-I don't need to just have more sex, lol, that doesn't make you ovulate stupid heads... 

Thanks.. I needed that vent...  

Now I'm gonna go find something to shove in my mouth (probably an oatmeal cream pie) and something to buy at Sephora...   I'm debating between the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eye palette, the Stila eye palette in Spirit, or if I want the new Urban Decay shadow box exlusive to Ulta.  Decisions, decisions.. 

Oh my god I just want to give you a hug, I'm sorry people can be so clueless, I don't know what else to say.  :hugs3:

Ugh, when my sister died, I seriously wanted to punch anyone who said it was part of God's plan, God has a plan for her, God wanted it so, etc. Because you know what? If that's true, then God is a MASOCHISTIC JERK WITH BAD PLANNING SKILLS AND ZERO SENSE OF JUSTICE. Like seriously, stop it- if God does exist, and I think he does, he's not planning out each and every death and why- that is on our hands, in our genes, in our choices or bad luck. I for one don't want to believe in a God that sees it fit to make a good woman infertile or a God-loving woman dead at the age of 40 while murderers, bigots, rapists and the like roam free, happy until they pass peacefully in their sleep until the ripe old age of 103. No. I don't believe that at all, if I do believe. Sorry for that rant!! 

Anyway, I don't know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes, no one does- but I can tell you I'm almost 100% sure I can't get pregnant, either, and I am very knowledgable when it comes to having awful illnesses you can't afford to pay for (thank you to Obamacare, I think I'm one of the few it truly worked out for!) The point of all of this is that while I don't know how you feel, I do empathize completely and if you want to talk, I'm here.

P.S. People can be SO thoughtless, cruel and tacky- three weeks after my sister died, my mother's coworker went up to her and seriously said "Are you FINALLY done being sad and depressing yet?? It's been THREE WEEKS ALREADY!" No lie.

Also, dang it Sephora, step your perk game up!! I have SIX THOUSAND+ POINTS TO BURN, HERE!

@@normajean2008 I'm so sorry people have been making you feel so badly. :hugs3: Although I am not in your shoes, I can say that I know what it is like friends and family think that your body's rebellion is something you can just "get over". It hurts really badly, especially from the people who are supposed to be there for you, and so I hope that you are able to find strength in the fact that you always have friends here who will support you!

Oh my god I just want to give you a hug, I'm sorry people can be so clueless, I don't know what else to say.  :hugs3:

Internet Hugs! Not that it makes it right but I think most people don't know what to say, and because I know a lot of children come about without trying, people tend to think it's easy for everyone and can forget that other will have to try extremely hard for them.  and I have no words for the God people, it seems to just be their default setting and they annoy me in general so it's just another irksome nail in their coffin.

You should join us over in the MUT NEST thread (time killer between secret santas) for happy chit chat and venting needs /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Chin up normajean2008, not everyone will understand or know what it's like to be in your shoes, but there is good all around, and I hope you find some good to give you comfort. Thank you for all your help while I learn my way around make up and taking care of myself and my needs...we are all beautiful, and none of us CAN'T, we just do 'differently.'

Thanks ladies.  I appreciate the thoughts and internet hugs.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

I'll take a look-see around the Nest thread.  Sounds like a fun place.  

Ate the oatmeal pie, but still can't decide on eyeshadow palettes, LOL.  

They are all pretty, and I have the Too Faced natural eyes palette already... but the choc. bar one has more versatile cooler colors in it.. but do I need more browns?  The Stila palette in "spirit" is pretty colors in shimmer finish that I like, but they seem kind of sheer... and the Urban Decay palette has a bunch of nice colors, but lately their formula has seemed kind of lacking to me in the palettes...and I wouldn't wear the black and maybe the blue one.  

I think I want that new stash set posted above.  There are several full size products and almost full size products.  I don't know if I'd like the lashes, but I'd give them a shot.  I wont use the powder or the highlighter (already have 2 and it is a little too cool toned for my skin), but the rest I'd use.  Maybe I'll end up with that instead of the eyeshadow palettes.  

 

[tweakabell]

I like pulling lashes out to be silly. I never thought I'd actually use them but I pull them out for my pictures sometimes (since I have creepy blonde lashes hehehe) and they really are a nice boost /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've only worn them out of the house once though :lol:

@@normajean2008 I feel for you. I haven't had any experience with infertility (or fertility), but the whole "God's plan" thing drives me nuts. I saw my cousin once in the middle of a serious illness, and the only thing she had for me was "I'll pray for you to find peace." I remember thinking "I could use some ACTUAL help right now with random tasks, or at least a shoulder to cry on" but *poof* she was gone. I'll pray that she doesn't say it again when I'm in a worse mood.  :bringiton:  I think it's also just a knee jerk reaction of some people who are unable/unwilling/don't know how to cope with sadness. I'd try not to take it personally, but I know it's hard.

 

[wadedl]

Things will happen when they happen and there is no plan. No right or wrong way. It's just the way things are. Don't start me talking on these things. Let's just say it is easier to have a plan than think there isn't one. It makes them feel better and they never really think of you when they say those things. It's to make themselves feel better.

I sound so cynical but...

 

[wadedl]

13 years of Catholic School and the biggest thing I took away from it was be true to yourself and don't let anyone tell you that "different" is wrong.

 

[v0ltagekid]

you guys... even though I already bought 12 shades of the new mufe shadows.. i got the big palette.

I'm regretting it a little bit but I love those shadows so much, the ones I have played with are so nice that I don't want to use my other shadows ever again lol!

:{( feeling so guilty hahah

The set looks amazing! I considered it but then realized I would not be able to buy shadows again for a very long time. Don't feel guilty unles you buy more shadows /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wore fake lashes on halloween when I was a jr, I think, or Sophmore.. anyways.. They were fantastic looking.  I've never been able to replicate that awesomeness since.  I bought two pairs for a wedding last year and forgot to try them or bring them with me, oops!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't know if anybody here is into the Tony Moly brand, but they were just added to Sephora, or at least a lip balm was.  

I've never tried the brand before, but I remember reading somewhere on MakeupTalk others liked it.  The lip balm is SO cute, in a lip shaped compact, that works as a pill box once empty.  it is 9$, with great reviews, in either blueberry or honey flavors, clear balm.  

I got the honey flavor to try.  Also picked up the MUF lip liner perk, buxom shadow perk, and the algenist perk.

So cute. I hope it means they will carry other things like sheet mask and cute Panda shaped things!

So sorry to read everything that you are going through. I know it must be hard to see everyone having babies while you are not. Theres nothing I could say that would be the right thing to make you feel better.  I will keep you in my prayers and sending lots of hugs your way. :hugs3:   :flowers:

Has anyone tried any of the Tory Burch cosmetics yet?

Has anyone tried any of the Tory Burch cosmetics yet?

I haven't, but a friend of mine tried a couple of them, I think the blush palette and a lipstick, and wasn't that impressed. Said it was one of the lesser quality designer lines she'd used. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> On the other hand, the fragrance is supposed to be amazeballs, so you could go for that, if you're not sensitive to scent!

I want to try a lipstick by her, but I haven't been able to bring myself to buy one.  One, because I can't decide on a color, and two, because I've heard too many lack luster reviews on them.  

I agree on the fragrance, it smells really really nice.  I've read several places it is similar to Clinique Happy, but I have never tried Clinique Happy, so I can't vouch for that factor.  I got the deluxe mini fragrance from Sephora before, and just got the deluxe spray vial for my purse from them too.  

I also want to try a Tom Ford lipstick and Aerin Lauder lipstick.  So expensive though.  I don't really understand why I can't pull the trigger on these two lipsticks...I buy YSL lipstick all the time at 36 a pop, and Givenchy.  I guess 30 range is my comfort zone, lol.  

Has anybody here tried Tom Ford lipsticks?  What did you think of them?  I really wish Sephora would get this brand!  They need some "new blood".

lol, I actually have tried the fragrance and it does nothing for me, haha! It's pure citrus- it smells just like Clinique Happy, just costs a lot more, and I'm a vanilla/patchouli/amber/bergamot/leather/musk/jasmine kind of girl.

I JUST bought a Tom Ford lipstick!! If you want, when I get it I will swatch & review for you- I'm totally new to his cosmetics. I didn't even know he MADE cosmetics, which is a shame since I love his fragrances soooo much!
