My Mom sent me this "forward or FW:FW:FW...." and I thought it was crazy...lol!
"I wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you tend to give gift cards around the holidays, you need to be careful that the cards will not be honored after the holidays.
Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1.
There is no law preventing them from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankruptcy Planning)."

Today, I used the H.I.P. e/s duo Flashy. Love the green shade, hate that yellow matte shade that paired with it. It's senseless. The yellow shade barely shows up and I bet worked that brush for a hot minute on my brow bone trying get some intensity. I bet MAC Vanilla piggie would killed it with this green, but I'm only using the shades in the duo on my eyes and a couple coats of mascara.
