*Okay with Makeup.com*

I think I told ya'll but I ordered some things from http://www.makeup.com/ and the Cake Beauty This Is My World Shower Gel Set was leaking like crazy. So I emailed them almost a month ago about it and they set me confirmation that they would work on it. Today is March 25, 2008 and I JUST received my replacement. Even though I had to wait a month for a replacement, at least is was bubble wrapped to hell, so tightly I wasn't sure if that was right item. I guess I'm okay with Makeup.com...I'm scoping this Cake Beauty Satin Sugar Hair and Body Powder right now!

"Eggies!!!"

Easter was quite lovely. It started sooooo early with the boys up at 6:00am looking for Easter Baskets and their Easter Program was at 10:00. They had been playing with those plastic eggs or "eggies!" as Spencer calls them all week Here we are in Grandma's yard. Thanks for all the Easter Dress votes!!! Number 2# won! As you can see, I'm not a small girl by no means. But, I'm "Sexy Succulent"!!!
I tried out my new Tarte Cheek Stain in Full Blossom. Love it!!!First, it's so pretty in the tube then goes on a raspberry pink. I only did a "dab" on each cheek and patted it into the skin. A perfect flush on the bronze skin.

Yes, peeps, I had to shave for the first time in a long time. It was a bit chilly but I wasn't wearing stockings( like cream pantyhose like half of the church was rocking) and open toe shoes. And I'm not talking about that black tights/black peep toes shoe thing everyone was doing this fall/winter. I picked up Kiss My Face Moisture Shave in Cool Mint from Le Lion's Nature's Place(organic section) and paired up my BIC Soleil Shaver for a smooth "Welcome Spring" finish.

This Spring I just want a few basics to add to what I have. I've noticed the older I get the less clothing I buy because I like what I got. I like my style and I'm comfortable with it. But, I still buy ALOT accessories. They keep things fresh!!

New Spring Hairdo( Thought about Microbraids or Maybe a shorter "curly-mop" do)

Sunglasses( searching for some vintage aviators)

Bronze-y flat sandals

Yellow flats

New cargo pants from Old Navy

Bangles and more bangles!!

a Yellow tank top

a pea green handbag

White and grey ON tank tops

Sweet and flirty sundresses( in bright solid colors)!

*Fumming Mad at Sephora* ( for now)

So...a couple of weeks ago I thought I ordered some of the last little bit of Becca left on Sephora.com. Well, they email me and tell that it was out of stock and cancelled my order. I have a GC of about 59.00 burning a hole in my vintage Aigner wallet. For the last two weeks I've did nothing but troll the website looking for something to spend. Finally I found something to buy....

Above:

Gelee' de Soleil Browning Oil and Jamaican Punch eau de Toilette by Carol's Daughter.

I figure that my CD Almond Cookie and Ecstasy would be too heavy to wear this summer. Plus I got a deluxe sample and a some lip pencil with a code and the three samples coming also.

Eh...Not that excited. Should be...didn't spend no personal money on it.:)

Do you know that whole Beauty Insider Program is straight crazy. If you accumulate 100, when you order something you get pick a deluxe sample. Okay...then Sephora deducts that 100 points for that deluxe sample you just picked. So..I'm really paying for a "Free" deluxe sample with my Insider points. How triangle scheme is that? lol!!! Now I got to accumulate some more points to get a "free" sample. Sephora...how about ya'll offer "free" shipping instead of a choice of samples that ain't all that.

Whew!!

*Update* I get an email this morning telling me that my order was cancelled because the Jamaican Punch was out of stock. It wasn't OOS when I ordered it!! Anyway, I called and I let them know that this was the 2nd time with this OOS mess. She ( the SA) waives the shipping and I keep the CD Soleil Gel. Whatever.
