You're making me blush (g).  But thank you EVER so much for the kind, kind words and vote of confidence.  Spending someone else's money would FUN!  I wish I could buy beauty like I did for 3 years but honestly I have all I need for the rest of my life or until I stop wearing makeup.   If something comes along that makes me drool tho, I'll consider it Smiley Happy  I don't know how it happened but I ended up running out of 4 or 5 skincare products at the same time Smiley Surprised  It's going to be spendy to replace all of those at once.  I may have one in backup mode...Naturium Retinol.  I just got my Kiehls Milky Toner with Lactic Acid.  Oh, and I think I have a bottle of Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow.  This might not be too spendy after all.  PTR eyecream will probably be the most expensive.  I've been using the Mad Hippie product.  Maybe I'll just stick with that till I see it's not working as well as PTR, but hopefully it will be good enough.  Hope your back is feeling mucho better!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.  Packaging is the first thing we see and what grabs our attention.  It's a multi-billion dollar industry and good graphic artists/designers make BIG bucks, for a reason.  Not sure I've ever bought something because I liked the way it looked and then not worn it.  I have learned not to "settle" on an item of clothing tho.

I've seen their clothing.  I thought maybe it would be something I could buy my granddaughter but I don't think so Tim!  Too spendy but they are very girly and flirty.

No, vanilla is most likely the bottom note in this fragrance.  Let me look...

Fragrance Description: Endless Dreams begin with strawberries and raspberries so sweet you can almost taste them. Jasmine and peony act as a fragrant lace, apparent yet transparent. Tahitian vanilla blends with the wild berries and lush flowers for a delicious and enveloping treat.

I lied Smiley Sad  The other one I thought was LoveShackFancy is actually Kilian Love Don't Be Shy.  I also have Kilian Princess and Princess (light).  The ONE other LSF fragrance I have is Moondance.  Can't wear it to bed.  It's too "zingy".  

Fragrance Family: Florals

 

Scent Type: Warm Florals

 

Key Notes: Velvet Rose, Magnolia, Sandalwood

 

Fragrance Description: This richly warm-floral fragrance exudes elegance with an edge, like a night filled with sophistication and an air of mystery. It opens with masses of velvet rose centifolia coupled with pink rhubarb. Earthy oakmoss and dreamy sandalwood extend the overflowing bouquet all night long.

@Franklinbell I'm glad that you liked my post Smiley Very HappyHeart!  So I'm not alone in seeing a cute outfit on a model or movie star and buying it? Smiley Very Happy I've defintely had some NQ (not quite) moments Smiley Wink!  Sometimes I'll buy something too edgy or trendy or I've purchased a color that's all the rage and it washes me out.  I held onto those thigh high leather boots for years before I gave them away and I never wore them after I tried them on.  Some leggy lady must've been thrilled to get them at The Good Will! I still laugh about how I looked in the romper- it would've been so cute on a taller girl, but I genuinely looked like an overgrown toddler in it Smiley Very Happy.  I love it when I buy something daring or different and it looks good- those are times when I pose and flip my hair in front of the mirror Smiley Very Happy.

@SportyShorty07 funny thing!  Yesterday I saw a cute romper on line.  And I thought oh that's cute I should try it and I put my size in the cart.  Well, thank goodness I was distracted and came back and saw that and I thought....Girl what were YOU thinking!  Really?  So had a good laugh and took it out of my cart and let some lady who will probably look amazing in it purchase it!  Phew crisis adverted.  No need to call the fashion police!!

@Franklinbell  hahaha I love that story Smiley LOL! I've definitely done that- sometimes when I'm almost asleep, something compels me to go to Forever 21 and put clothes into my shopping cart- I call it "sleep shopping"!  I've added crop tube tops, sexy wrestling singlet one pieces, bodysuits with enough cut outs to truss a ham and crop tops that say flirty phrases like  "baby" on them Smiley SurprisedSmiley LOL.  I wake up the next day each time and laugh at my shopping cart.   Can you imagine if I wore them? Especially the crop top that says "baby"? Smiley LOL   Cute tops and fun items, but I don't know if i can pull them off.
