I have a full sized jar of Taste Body Shimmer with your name on it!
They didn't have the fragrance or I would have gotten one of those for
you, but I did get the only two Taste Shimmers they had. So email me
your snail mail and I'll get that and the two samples I have for you
in the mail asap.

Okay, make a list of discontinued colours that you all want and next
Thursday when I am in Atlanta, I'll see how many I can pick up there.
If Rhonda can't get them on her trip to BE, then I'll be your back up.
Bliss
Hi Michelle!
if no one else has spoken for the two bags, I would love to buy them
from you! I have a friend who is putting together a gift basket and
they would be perfect for it!
Bliss
Actually they will be! ;) They won't be up on the site yet, but anyone can order them through invoice. I just have to figure out a price later tonight. Look on the blush page and pick out a brown shade . . . .
http://www.naturallyflawless.com/naturally_flawless_blush.htm
Do you want Chestnut, Maple, Warmth, Warm Radiance, etc? You can pick any color on the whole site. ;) Just let me know. Thanks, Lisa =)
OH I just made some Clear Radiance balms too. Very pretty! It's just a subtle shimmery pink on the lips.
manda <purple_dragon03@...

with my browns ;) hint hint.. do you think they will be ready for
tomorrows order that i am gonna pay you for? hmmm pretty please..

Rhonda Powell <rhonda_k_powell@...

i only need one. does anybody want the other one? the liners are $12.

i really liked the eyebrow stencil and was amazed at how much it improved my look. i even got brave and did my daughter. she loved it. it is much easier to do it on someone else. at least the coloring in part so you can make sure they're even. if she would have felt comfortable plucking them herself i would have gladly let her do that part.
rhonda
I went out and bought some eyebrow stencils from CVS. Will be playing with them later and let you know how it goes. Janis

It sure did and it was my second trip there in a week. First time for BE and then the primer. Good thing my daughter went along for the ride, its about 45 minutes. Next time I will call before going. Janis
yeah, when you told that i immediately made a mental note to call sephora's before we get there. i'm still thrilled to go to BE but if i don't need to try to find sephora's at the mall that i'm not familiar with i'm not going to the effort.

EEEK...I didn't even think about the "unmarrying" part! I'm glad you mentioned it. I'll be sure to try and take the mascara off, as much as I can, first. Not real thrilled about ripping it off my eyelid, but even less thrilled about the fakies and my lashes being fused together with mascara when I rip it off. KWIM?

Don't know...but when I give it a go, I'll let you know. These have a little tube of glue, you let it dry on the lashes..the banding part that holds it all together, until it's tacky, then stick them on. To get them off, it just says to peel. Ew. And it says to use mascara to "marry" your lashes to the fakies. Oh...I ordered those eyebrow stencils from ebay and the eyebrow kit from QVC...so, we'll be giving that a whirl here soon too!

how do these work? i've never done them and now that i have eyebrows that are finished i'm considering taking the plunge and giving them a try.

donna,
wow...$70 for a 6x6 tattoo? that is a GREAT price. at least around here. when i got my first tattoo we lived in a town that didn't have anything but a hardee's and a subway. the only tattoo artist in a 100 mile radius was 25 miles away so he could by with charging high prices because he had no competition.
when i got my second one it was were we live now. there is quite a bit of competition so you can get a lower price. but, you're right, it is SOOOOOO important to thoroughly check out a tattoo artist or shop's reputation.

Hi Rhonda.
I actually just received a set of brushes from Lisa the other day and I
LOVE them. They are so wonderfully soft. I really like the kabuki brush
for applying my foundation & finishing powders and the carrying case of
brushes is convenient to stick in my purse if I should need any touch
ups while I'm at work.
I also want to rave about UD's eye primer potion. It works great for
me. Whenever I would apply eye shadow, it'd usually end up all creased
in the middle of my lid by the time mid-morning came long. It got so I
just hated wearing shadow. But with the primer (and I put a bit of
finishing powder on at the end as well) it doesn't crease at all during
the day. Lisa was right on with recommendation of this product to me.

Yes, tattoos can get pricey. The artist I go to (after checking him out thoroughly) does not charge extra for color. LOL...he has a low opinion of some of the tattoo shops in town that do. He does great grey scale work too. The one on my shoulder (back) is about 6"x6". It was two designs that he merged into one, and then destroyed the copies and signed and gave me the print. I know I have the only one like this. It is fully colored. (I have a pic somewhere, I'll have to look!). BTW...red ink hurts more than the others, they have to go deeper in the skin for it to not fade, or so he said. For that one, he chaged me $70, I think. For the band of flowers/leaves around my ankle, fully colored as well, it was $50. So, it is or can be a bit pricey, and it is not for everyone. I would like to get a fairy and a hummingbird too, or maybe a little dragon if I can find a picture I like.
Donna
Rhonda Powell <rhonda_k_powell@...
the other thing about tattoos vs piercings is that tattoos can be quite expensive. the huge dragon drawing made me think of that. for my little bitty 2 inch high marvin the martian it took about an hour (i think - i'm fuzzy on this) but it cost about $80. some of the bigger ones....like across the entire shoulder area on your back can be hundreds of dollars. it also depends on if you add color...color costs a lot more.
i considered getting another tattoo a month or so ago and realized the timing was bad. at the time i was on a blood thinner after having blood clots on my lungs last fall so that would have been pretty darn stupid of me. but i'm off the blood thinner now and i'm considering it.
i don't know where i'd get one and i don't even know what of. when i got my first tattoo my husband was grumbling to the tattoo artist about me getting one in the first place and the guy said that he didn't know anyone who had just one tattoo. once you get one you find yourself wanting more. it is true.

Hi Missi!
Last Sept 27 they removed two hernieated and ruptured discs, replaced
them with metal cages, took a bone graft form my pelvis and added in
a bone growth stimulator. Then they fused the lower three vertebrae
together. My incision just didn't want to heal. In November put they
put a wound vac on it and it was on until mid January. I had tunnels
of infeciton that kept popping up. It was awful! The last one opened
up 3 weeks ago and wouldn't you know, it had a staph infection in it.
So I'm back on clindamycin for a whole month.
I've had a lot of pain in my left hip since surgery and the doctor is
going to look into that after the incision is finally healed. It's
almost there, though. I'll be glad when it's over.
Bliss
geez, i'm such a loser. okay, i HONESTLY didn't plan on buying anything at the BE store when I go.....BUT.....now that i know i'm going i'm looking online and trying to plan on what to buy. guess it is a really good thing my husband is going with me. he will definitely rein me in. :-)
buying the color samples from lisa makes total sense because you can have so much fun with a variety of colors at a great price that you could never afford if you bought the full size containers. my question is, what types of things do you guys think i should try to buy full size of while i'm there? or brushes, other products, etc.
i'm thinking foundation would make sense once they help me figure out the best color/colors for me. i'm thinking of the faux tan. i bought a compact from ebay not thinking i'd be going to a BE store anytime soon.
so, help me guys!! what should i consider buying that i couldn't get at a reasonable price off ebay or anywhere else?
thanks.

With piercings it's not too expensive if you stick to
your ears.
A friend did her nose twice, but I couldn't do it.. I
did 8 of my own piercings and had the other 4 done
professionally.
Sally Beauty Supply use to sell piercing kits. (I
don't know if they still do) I did my daughter's when
she was 3. I was traumatized, she wasn't.=0) She was a
total trooper.
All you did was line it up to where you wanted the
earring to go and then click. It shot the earring into
your ear and then the pieces fell off from around it.
Worked great. Sure beats just using a stud and
pressure.
that would so suck to drive all that way and be excited and then the sephora's being out of that. :-(

don't...WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I even liked the mascara!! I just did up my face and then washed it back
off though.
I was trying out some oil cleanser that a friend made.We both made some
(you know,like DHC's deep cleansing oil cleanser...our's is better..lol)
with a few different oils so we thought we try each other's out to see
which we prefer.
But here later when I go to the PO I am gonna tart myself back up :)

okay, it appears as if we are scheduled for makeover at the BE at woodfield mall this saturday. how crazy am i? i'm leaving at 6 am to drive four to four and a half hours to get a makeover and see some makeup colors. then i'm going to eat lunch and drive four hours back home.
do i see signs of a real BE addict? do i need to stand up and say, "my name is rhonda and i am a BE addict?!"
my hubby is going along, however, i think that is a cost saving measure on his part. he realizes if he doesn't go for the ride it make cost him more in the wallet. LOL
i went ahead and scheduled the makeovers so i don't have to worry about getting there and them being too busy. i'll also have to remember to take a notepad with me to write down all the colors that i like after i see them in person.
my 16 year old is so into makeup. however, she doesn't have a job and i'm starting to grow tired of the mom i want this routine. we'll just check out a foundation color for my 12 year old and be done with her or she'll whine that we're torturing her. :-)

I have severe scoliosis in my Lower Lumbar (at a 45* curve) and they

Rhonda, the BE store here does makeovers on a walk-in basis. You may have a wait a few minutes until someone else is done, but they can do two at a time. But the store here is not as busy as some in the country, so you may want to call and ask just to be sure.
Donna
Rhonda Powell <rhonda_k_powell@...
manda....honestly, i really don't want to buy any of the products there. i just want to get the makeover so i can have someone who knows what they're doing help me figure out what color/s is right for me. why buy a full thing when i can buy smaller quantities from lisa at such a great price?! the samples allow for so much more playing around. :-)
okay, i have to say my husband and i have come to a compromise about chicago this weekend. did i mention i have learned how to pout pretty good? *slaps hand - bad rhonda*
if i can do the trip in one day and not have to stay overnight then he is not so opposed to it. it can be done. so, now i have to call the BE store there bright and early and get more information about the makeovers. does anyone in the group know if you have to schedule these in advance or do they do them on a walk-in basis? realistically, i'd buy something if only to be courteous and thankful for the makeover. but, i would buy something that lisa doesn't carry. :-)
i'd take my girls and my hubby. so, both my girls could have something done too. my 16 year old is so willing to wear makeup so she would want a regular makeover too. my 12 year old isn't interested in makeup at all but i would at least want to figure out what foundation color to use for her. their skin tone is so much darker than mine and i'm having enough trouble figuring my own colors out! and, with hubby with me, trust me, he'll keep me in check even if i did get tempted to buy lots of stuff.

The main reason I want to get a tattoo is to symbolize what I have
been through in the past. I saw one once of an angel with broken
wings that was flying. I thought it was a good one to represent my
life.
i'm so glad to hear that the lip balm stuff came in. i was just thinking about that yesterday. i'm anxious to try it. i'm working on my next order so i'll have to be sure to wait and see what you're going to have as far as lip balms before i place it. no rush, but i hate to miss it. *ha* like me needing to order again would be a bad thing.

I get claustrafobic at home if I don't get out of town for an overnight once every two or three months. I went to Baltimore in January for work and I've bene home ever since.
I asked if we could go to Chicago for one night this weekend. "Gas is too expensive. I don't think that is a good idea."
I wasn't even wanting to necessarily buy any BE products. I just want to see all the beautiful colors in person! And get a free makeover. *sigh* I hate Iowa.

they say that your ankle is one of the places that hurts the worst to get a tattoo because you have no fat there. the tattoo guys who did me said that bsically you can feel the needle with the ink against the bone and it does hurt.

I recently got a little wild (for me) and went crazy with ear piercing. I had two holes in each ear and now have six in one and four in the other. I would love to get them going down my entire ear. Of course my husband just hates them and my kids think I am nuts. If I had the shape I would also love to have my belly button pierced.
I also want a tattoo. My daughters nickname is Panda, so I would love to get a small panda bear on my shoulder or my ankle. And since my son really doesn't have a nickname, I was thinking of letting him pick out something for me to get also. That way I would always have my children with me. My husband has "forbidden" me to get any, but I keep telling him its my body, my choice. I just need to work up the courage to actually go and have it done. Janis

Donna Conner <angel91805@...
Woo Hoo...new things to play with!!! I love the tapered blush brush and the wet dry brush! Though the wet dry brush is eerily similar to the one end of the double ended precision brush! I'm loving the eye shadows...one is a light pinky/peachy glimpse. I foiled that one (contact solution does not work well...I can't find the visine!). The other one is a shadow...a mauvy purple. The blush is nice...sort of a pinky coral...can you tell I SUCK describing colors?? I only did half of my face after taking a shower, and there was no foundation or bisque or primer or anything. Hubby says the side with the new colors...made my face look more natural (as opposed to my "natural" skin...he got thumped!) and thinner! Woo Hoo...works for me. Now I could get this color on my hips and thighs! ROFL! This weekend I have GOT to play with the fake eyelashes....ROFL! I've never tried falsies before! The lipliner...can do without it. It's beige...can't hardly see it. The lipgloss,
I like, but hubby says blech. It is a brown, and that isn't going well with me. But, the thing I like the most...believe it or not...is the brushless mascara! Now...that will take some getting used to. I didn't blink on it, but put it on as normal. Now...I do have fairly long eyelashes...no complaints here. But this mascara, made these puppies curl right on up there...I swear the tips of my eyelashes are almost at my eyebrow! Now just to see how long it stays on, if it smudges or flakes, etc. I imagine these colors aren't for everyone...but I thinks me likes 'em!
Hugs,
Donna

Maybe I'm nuts, but I really think mine are truer. I can't believe how dark Sorbet looks in their picture. Their Fling picture is pretty close, but the other two mine are definitely more true to color in my opinion. All of my pictures will always show more sparkle b/c they are taken in sunlight. :)
On the Escape collection, my picture were taken kind of late in the day so they could be better. Take Me is truer on the QVC site, but Adventure shadow is more true on my site. The Escape blush is sort of in-b/w my pic and theirs. Hope this helps you decide! Lisa =)

Lisa...in your opinion....who's colors are truer? Your site or QVC? See, I'm looking at QVC at the Baby Grand collection...and the colors on your site are much better looking, and lighter and sparklier than the ones at QVC. Also the Escape trio...much lighter. I want the colors on your site...HAHA. What do you think?

Okay, I feel better now. I've been suring trying to find a good hotel rate for our possible trip to Chicago and now I want to go really bad. I get claustrafobic at home if I don't get out of town for an overnight once every two or three months. I went to Baltimore in January for work and I've bene home ever since.
I asked if we could go to Chicago for one night this weekend. "Gas is too expensive. I don't think that is a good idea."
I wasn't even wanting to necessarily buy any BE products. I just want to see all the beautiful colors in person! And get a free makeover. *sigh* I hate Iowa.

Hey Janis! Do you have to go through Cincinnati to get over to Chicago? If so, Claudia and I look like we might carpool from Cinci. Splitting gas and possibly a rental three ways would be awesome. ;) Just a thought! Lisa =)
I don't have to go thru Cincinnati, that is further east of me. We could probably meet up maybe in the Toledo area or somewhere near there. Sounds great to me! Janis

Count me in on this! It sound like a great time. I vote for Chicago since I am only about 5 hours away. I am in the Detroit area. If anyone is near me, it would be great to carpool. Janis

I recently got a little wild (for me) and went crazy with ear piercing. I had two holes in each ear and now have six in one and four in the other. I would love to get them going down my entire ear. Of course my husband just hates them and my kids think I am nuts. If I had the shape I would also love to have my belly button pierced.
I also want a tattoo. My daughters nickname is Panda, so I would love to get a small panda bear on my shoulder or my ankle. And since my son really doesn't have a nickname, I was thinking of letting him pick out something for me to get also. That way I would always have my children with me. My husband has "forbidden" me to get any, but I keep telling him its my body, my choice. I just need to work up the courage to actually go and have it done. Janis

My goodness, Bliss, you are one amazingly strong

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, but so
happy for you having beaten it.
Henry sounds wonderful.. I love hearing your stories
about your relationship.
I'm also glad you joined the group.. it's been so fun
getting to know you. I love your humor.LOL

sorry, i forgot to post this in the last message.
i actually have a map that includes this area on it (where the hotel is). and, it is about 20 miles from downtown if we wanted to go there. from what i understand the best way to go if you're wanting to go downtown is to take the train. the blue line runs near Country Inn & Suites.
[LINK]
[LINK]
doing some checking and off the hotel websites i'm finding prices around $100 a night. These are ones within five miles of the mall. The best way to go if we end up in Chicago is to go to a hotel that caters to business travelers. They will have more openings on the weekends and lower their rates then where other mainstream hotels raise their rates on the weekend.
If a hotel's own website is giving $100 we should be able to do priceline and get something for less, say around $75 a night.
here's what i found:
Country Inn & Suites (these are nice and comfortable - very clean). On Expedia I'm getting a quote for our dates (8/12-8/14) of $86 per night for a room with two queen beds. This hotel is five miles from the mall. It got really great reviews from the people who left information. It mentions a shuttle to the airport and "area" businesses. Not sure if the mall is included.
The REALLY nice thing about Expedia is that you can book a reservation and still have the option to cancel it if necessary. With Priceline you're locked in. So, if we wanted to book something now to make sure we have something at a decent price then we can and not have to worry if we need to cancel for any reason.
Here's the page I'm looking at. You'll find a link with pictures, descriptions, etc. here.

Im with you. I have a bikini but recently purchased a
two piece that covers everything. I am white but tan
during the summer. Those self tanners turn me orange
so i stay white forever during the winter. Claudia
Demeter makes great shower gel that can be used as bubble bath.
They've got every yummy scent you can think of!
Oh, and the Tutti Dolci line at Bath & Body Works! Who could say no
to Creme Brulee? Not I said the Fat Girl.
*hugs*
Bliss
Personally I like the temporary ones. That way I can change them as I please. There are some really cute ones out there. Also, for me, no pain involved-which is a big plus!

i just checked sephora's website and they say they have a store at woodfield mall too. of course, as i said earlier, a sephore is getting ready to open soon at the mall of america.

On Apr 6, 2005 4:00 AM, Mich <bbabmontret@...
Hey V,
Gotta tell you I love this color!
I used it today, and when I was finished applying it I
just put my pinky in the Rose MAC Pigment and put a
dab in the middle of my lid. I blended it just a
little and it looked really pretty.
Thanks,
Mich
I voted Mall of America only because it's closer but then again I'd
probably not be able to go anyways, so its a moot point :)
I got my hair done 2 weeks ago, took almost 5 hours. I thought my bf
was going to lose it!
Okay, that even painful to hear!!!AAAAACK!
That had to hurt SO bad. wow.
I'll definitely be careful.. that's why I figured with
him being gone I'd be a little safer.. no surprise
hugs, etc..
But those kids, I'll have to be careful.
thanks.
M
You slay me, Bliss. =0)
I wore a bikini once.. ONCE. Never to be done again.
I'm so pale one of my friends actually said light
reflected off of me. I L'dMBO at that.
The very thought of a suit gives me anxiety and sends
me running for comfort to the M&M bag.
It's so funny, I think this must be the week for hair.
I'm going in on Saturday. Oh I love it.. 2 hours of
"could I get you....? would you like...?" *happy sigh*
Mich
I'm the same way with my earrings. I forget they're
even there (my hair covers them most of the time
anyway) until someone starts staring or their mouth
begins to move as they're counting.. I know exactly
where the conversation's going to head.. :-)
Today I bought sample sizes of the cupcake and pink lemonade scents of
the Demeter fragrances and also two sample size tubles of the Blinc
mascara.
I still want to buy more stuff though. Thinking of the taste lipgloss :)
No doubt!
Hope you had a wonderfully relaxing time. :0)
My ex husband HATED tattoos, so I never got one. But, of course now
that he's an ex I can do what I want :) My bf really wants me to get
one, he has at least 7 that I can think of right now
do it on your behind..you have a little extra padding there (traditionally) and unless your butt is hanging out all the time nobody else will know. lol
four years later my husband actually said to me the other day that he thought it was kind of sexy. i had a pair of jeans on that were a little low on my waist...not low rise....my body doesn't do low rise!! i just laughed at him. he went with me both times.
bubby817 <bubby817@...
I want a tatoo! My DH must be like yours lol, if I got one he would
be pissed. I dont want anything tacky, just a cute little bug or
flower on my ankle :)
Michelle
I would love to come. I live in Western New York or
Buffalo(yup we have snow). Will have to check on the
finances though. I would love to be Made Up by a
professional. I never learned how to do eyes. Chicago
would be better for me. Mall of America is too far for
me to drive. Thanks for the info Claudia
missi,
those are really cute. i can remember when gas was only 59 cents a gallon. i was in like second grade then. when it hit $1 i about fell over. it seemed so unreal. deja vu time.

Rhonda Powell <rhonda_k_powell@...

the massage was great. my massage therapist also does ear candling and said that it helps a lot with sinus pressure. i think i may try that next week. i thought $35 for a 45 minute session didn't sound bad.
Bliss & Henry <bliss_n_henry@...
Rhonda,
Origins makes a product called Peace of Mind that I use when my
sinuses start making my head feel like it's in a vice...and not in a
good way. It's got lavendar and peppermint in it and it is
incredible! A drop on your fingertips and then rubbed into your
temples really helps.
My mother is a massage therapist and a dr of naturopathy. We
affectionately call her the Witch Doctor. But she has helped me out
in more ways than one with her homeopathic remedies. She does the
Bach Flower Essence stuff, as well as herbal remedies. She was the
one who put me on Noni juice to help me kick start the healing
process when my incision stopped healing. And what do you know...it
worked. She's one smart old bird. She does La Stone hot stone
massage, thai massage, Lomi Lomi, and then the standard swedish and
deep tissue. She's also a Reiki Master and has some of the most
incredible healing energy I have ever felt from one person. One of
her friends swears that I have it, too, but I just haven't tapped
into it yet. I guess it's the whole Field of Dreams thing, when I'm
ready it will come.
Enjoy your massage! I'd kill for one today!

the walkway in the aquarium really isn't that bad. i'm clostrafobic too and it just is like a regular hallway width. the thing is so light that it doesn't feel like you're being buried alive or anything. :-)
the belly button thing doesn't sound odd at all. the day i turned 33 i went and got a tattoo. i had never in my life considered getting a tattoo until a former coworker told a story about when she worked in an emergency room as a nurse. she said all bodies ultimately look alike when they're dead and she wanted her's to look different and say something about who she is. so, she and her daughter designed matching tattoos and both got them. that story started sinking in and i decided to get the tattoo. man, my husband was ticked off!! he thinks they're tacky. however, he insisted on going to the tattoo place with me. i think he wanted it to hurt real bad so i'd learn my lesson but it really didn't. i got a teddy bear on my rear end. of course, i have lots of extra padding so that helped with the pain. [INLINE] anyway, last year i got the urge to get another one, so now i have one on each cheek. my second one is marvin the martian. nobody generally sees them but me and the
hubby so it isn't a huge deal. just something a little wild i decided to do for me.

WOOHOO! Have fun when you go! ;) Don't forget to come tell us all about it! Lisa :)
Deb <morganastargazer@...
I just got a complete shock! I've been reading all the messages about all the wonderful stores that sell BE and all the other goodies and feeling sorry for myself that I don't have any close to me. I live just outside of Richmond, VA. Virginia is the _last_ place to get _anything_ good! Well, maybe northern VA but that's not that close. I decided to look at the Sephora store locater and guess what?! There is one in Richmond!!! I almost fell off my chair! I'm gonna have to go! My husband will probably faint when I tell him! lol
I saw on the website that they do complementary makeovers. Does anyone know if they will do one with minerals? I haven't had a makeover done in years! It would be fun to do!
Thanks for giving me someone to tell this too! :)

:::shudder:::: belly button piercing....I don't know. I just don't think I could do it. A cowork had it done a few years ago and it took 6 months to heal! She had to wear those hip hugger pants (ok...she DID have the figure for it), where no fabric would rub on her belly button. I just don't think I could do it. Tattoos are as a brave as I'll go. Hehehe...I have two now and want one maybe two more...ahahaha. But they can all be hidden. And I was thinking, I may try some bisque/foundation to see if I could cover one up if I needed to. ROFL!
Yup...completely off topic, but I don't mind!
Hugs,

Mich <bbabmontret@...
..... I know, it's insane at my age, but when my DH
is gone on his trip in May, I'm going to get my belly
button pierced. I've always wanted to do it but never
had the shape. I'm still leaps and bounds from where I
want to be, but I'm going to do it anyway.
It'll give me 2 weeks to start to heal, and to get
used to it before he sees it and faints. LOL!!
Actually, I think he'll just crack up and shake his
head. :0)
