    high end vs low end products ?

    MAC and Estee Lauder already "changed their policy" - unfortunately. I think it is so they can market their products in China specifically. By the way, Lush is amazing! Their oat meal soap is my absolute favorite ever -- it feels sooooo good on your skin!

    high end vs low end products ?

    Yeah, exactly. They don't test (and support the cause, as far as I know) but their parent L'oreal does. Isn't it the same with Revlon, who doesn't test but they're owned by P&G? Don't quote me on this, please. :D And oh my gosh, yes! I'll be in Germany the last week of August - I hope they...

    Oh my Gosh, they look like twins judging by those pictures! I'm sorry he was hit by a car, that's so sad :( My neighbors actually asked if I want to introduce him to their cats and they can roam outside together, but he's been indoor all his life and I'm afraid of just that. @DNO: Your cat...

    high end vs low end products ?

    I loooooooooooooove Manhattan! Planning to stock up when I go to Europe this summer!!! :D Alverde make up is nice, I have one of their blushes and it's good quality. I also used to own their creamy concealer - it's awesome for undereye darkness!

    high end vs low end products ?

    I don't know if you know, but L'Oreal actually owns The Body Shop since.. I think they bought them in 2004 or so. :( I don't know what your point of view is though, I know a lot of people that buy essentially cruelty-free products that are owned by parent companies that do test. :)

    high end vs low end products ?

    I think MAC stuff, along with other "higher" end brands are wayyyyy more expensive abroad. A friend from NZ told me that the Nars blushes that are around $30 in the US, are about $60 where she lives. Same goes for MAC, as far as I know. It's quite expensive in Europe as well! We're just lucky...

    current dress trends

    Can I just state my frustration about grown women wearing these out in public? They're slippers, for Heaven's sake.. slippers. For at home. Not for your work place. How can I take my peers seriously if they prance around in slippers like the office is their goshdarn living room? UGH!

    Poor guy has a sensitive stomach, I tried feeding him wet food after he became more comfy in his new home and he threw up all over :( I switched him to grain-free food then, and now he is very lively and happy and awesome.. except for one thing that's not that awesome: he absolutely LOVES to...

    high end vs low end products ?

    Whenever I buy make up at the drugstore I always scoop out as many coupons as I can. For all of you US ladies, if you haven't yet: join the CVS beauty club! It's completely free, and every $50 you spend on anything beauty (lotions, creams, shampoos, hair accessories, shaving supplies, anything!)...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Target did it again for me! For $25 I just couldn't say no! If anyone's interested, they're called "Women's Merona Erma Patent Wedge with Twist Bow" :)

    Ahh, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Miss! I will check it out when I come home from work! :)

    high end vs low end products ?

    I used to not really be interested in make up at all and would only buy cheapest of the cheap everything (except foundation because i have problematic skin) but about 3 years ago or so that changed. I still feel weird putting out $30 for a lipstick or $40 for a foundation or whatever it is I...

    Vintage Manicures

    I tried moon mani's so many times and I just can't figure it out. The littler stickers don't stick (oily cuticles even though I prep accordingly) and the polish either is not connecting with the sides, and.. ughhh! Someone needs to give me a hands on lesson! :D

    Round 2 Beauty Box thread

    I had to stuff the new contents (and some "old", small ones) on the edges of the box so it would actually close!! It was quite the adventure packing it for sure!!! So much fun though! :) I just remembered I still didn't post a pic of the 2nd box contents I took, will definitely do that as soon...

    Round 2 Beauty Box thread

    Another quick update :) So I said I'd get everything out on Saturday.. sigh.. well, I kind of messed up :/ All PO's around here are only open until ~1 pm Saturdays, so I set my alarm for 12 pm which would have left me plenty of time... Unfortunately, I may have slept through.. ugh. So, so...

    Lady Gaga - 30's starlet?

    I'm on the "she'd-look-so-much-better-if..." train. She has a pretty face and would look amazing if not for her (90% of the time) ridiculous, over-the-top costumes.

    This is just the cutest thing! I envy you for your skills! I really need to get back behind my sewing machine :( I got so discouraged when I couldn't even get a straight seam, plus the general lack of time,..so i kind of gave up for now :( Boo

    You looks great in yellow, Katinka!! Love the shoes paired with the dress too! As for the violet dress - I really like that color! I'd leave it some shade of purple :) Although I bet it would look awesome in navy too...

    Round 2 Beauty Box thread

    Hello lovely Misses, I just wanted to give a quick update: The box arrived, and I'm positive that I'll be able to pack it nice and safe to send off to Zombi soon. Unfortunately I won't be able to get to the postal office until Saturday :( I hope that's okay. I thought about bringing the box to...
