Two parcels have been packaged up - one will be with its owner on Tuesday and one will be hand-delivered in person on Saturday :)
Are these 3 meant for you?
It's a great opportunity to 1) not pay shipping from the US or 2) test and see if washi tape is for you.
I have seen one store in SA sell these - In Good Company - and they had 4 ugly prints when I was there at about R50 each (which is the normal price with shipping)
My MIL once said to me
that she would NEVER leave the house without her eyes
"done".
One of my friends is like
that about foundation. She apparently has bad pigmentation but I've never seen
it :) so I can't vouch for her story.
My thing is
lipstick.
No matter what, I always
have lipstick on. Rebecca, you're the same, right?
My eyes can go naked,
sometimes the face can go naked (although I feel TONS better when I use
foundation though - this same friend taught me how to do it properly and now I use
her tricks for the photo shoots :)) but I am never without my
lipstick.
I just feel pale and
lifeless.
So my boss has ONE
lipstick she uses and she replaces said lipstick every month. She uses it a
couple of times throughout the day and it lasts her exactly a
month.
This is one of my secret
organising fantasies - to so simplify my life that I use just a few products,
not a hodge-podge of things.
And so I've been on the
lookout for the perfect lipstick... for me.
I walked into Edgars the
other day and the Clinique counter was right
there. Almost beckoning to me.
I looked at the testers
and one colour looked right for me. Tried it on and it was PERFECT. It was called 05 and I
thought I'd remember the name but of course I've
forgotten.
So I did my lips properly
and the lipstick lasted practically the whole day. It wasn't even branded a
"long lasting" one. Just the normal ones with that lovely mint-green casing.
I happened to pass
another Clinique counter a few days later (to return that bag I didn't need) and
I checked out the price.
R210.
Oh my
word.
Is that what you pay for
lipsticks these days?!
Maybe you
do?
(I just googled and Clinique US is about $15 - $16 each, which is R112 - R120)
My current signature
colour is called Grace. I get it from Clicks for just R21,99 when they have their bi-annual
beauty sale. Of course when I see it I buy
three.
Okay, so let's have some
fun.
Tell me if you have a
signature lipstick, what it is and tell me why you like that colour/
brand.
PS I had a lovely time today with TWO friends. I'm still processing the whole thing though :) My study is also a royal mess because I decided to finally get that one dresser painted - amazing how much stuff comes out of one little cupboard.
