Beauty

Dosey, great job in not picking up the Borghese this time around. It will be there on your next trip. It is hard though, right? So easy to justify those purchases. I have been itching to pick up another cleanser or two that I have wanted to try, but I have held off because what I have will probably last me the rest of the year.

Aprilskies, you will be happy to know that Manuela will not be on again until August.  It will be her 18th anniversary visit so I anticipate a lot of good deals.  The only thing I want is a super-sized Vitamin C kit but will be happy with just a super-sized C cleanser and serum.  I am really going to try not to buy anything else.

Oh, yeah!  Brushes are fantastic!!  Light and fluffy ones for face powders and blushes.  Dense ones for creamy products.  I have not found the perfect eye shadow brush and have put my search on hold just to strengthen my self-control.  In the meantime, I have plenty of eye shadow brushes on my bathroom counter.

I am so glad you all understand the love of beauty products.  I've been addicted to them since elementary school.

Thanks for letting me know about Manuela, Dosey. I was wondering about her anniversary. Wasn't sure about her timeframe. Yes, me too, the ckit is the only thing I will consider purchasing if she offers it at a special price. Otherwise, I think I am set for the year.

I'm pretending that I didn't read the info about Manuela LOL. Add me to the bandwagon who will pounce on a vitamin C kit great deal if it's offered.

Paula's Choice is having a great 20% off sale so in my goal to buy things that will last for rest of the year, I bought my toners so now I have enough skincare to last for several months. The plan is that I shouldn't get drawn into buying other stuff. The past couple months, I have been using Paula's products for majority of my skincare. My skin is loving it and looks better than it has ever. (I have acne prone, oily skin). I believe finding the items in her line that work for me is helping curb the "need" to buy other stuff from other lines.

Here is the odd thing, supersize items still make me wonder....hmmmmm I should buy it, it's such a great deal!!! Supersize is just evil....but I do hope that one day, Paula would supersize some of her items too LOL. I have an illness. I confess.

This is a test. 

I don't have anything to say since I'm still half asleep, but I just wanted to try a post to see if that feature is working correctly for me now, or if it's still a hassle.

Apparently I'm still having problems with the posting feature, but at least I can post, so that's something.  Hopefully, it's a glitch that will eventually get fixed.  In the meantime, I can still do what I want to, it will just take me a few (or several) extra steps.    So, enough about my problems, let's get back to the topic:

Normally I’m happy when I get to the end of a product and I can toss the empty container in the recycling box.  But I just finished something that I’m actually sorry to see the last of:  pure grace shampoo.  I’ve been rationing that and the conditioner ever since it was discontinued however many years ago.  Unlike the conditioner (I still have about a half-bottle of it), which has turned a little funky over the years, the shampoo retained its lovely fragrance until the very end.  I’ll miss it.

Separated at birth -- again!  Guess what conditioner I've been using lately?  My final, saved bottle of pure grace, of course.  The scent is barely there, so I decided to use it before, as you say, it turns funky.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  Still a great product.  I hate that they discontinued it.

Hi just bee. My DH and I have ATT Uverse now. I know that it is not available in Abq. I just found out today that Comcast does'nt serve the area that we are moving into. I really don't want Direct TV. Can you list some other companies that provide TV and Internet services out there? We are keeping ATT for our phones. Thank you in advance. Giving my notice at work tomorrow. I hope it goes smooth. Lol.

Oh, dear.  Off the top of my head, there's Century Link.

We have (and generally hate) Comcast.  Because there are so few options out here, Comcast really takes advantage of that.

How exciting to be one step closer...

Thanks bee. I just popped back on to say that I was just texting with my bro and he had Direct tv for a few years when he lived out there. He said it was good. Only lost the picture a few times due to heavy rains. I'll take another look at it. We get a special thru our AAA membership. I'll look at Century too. Thanks again.
