"Absolutely Alice" is interesting me. But where I live I have no idea where I would find it.

I found a mini set on Amazon, PT. Here you go!

$10 seems to be a pretty good deal. They're not full-sized bottles but there are 4 of them, so a nice variety - you should treat yourself to a nice little something every once in awhile PT :)

Mia, I personally couldn't imagine dropping that much on a bag (although I am a sucker for some designers) but glad that you're still focusing on getting clean :) I think you'll be happier with dropping the money on your new purse than other ways you could have spent the money.

n3o, I have also lost my tolerance to caffeine and having some right now. I hope I am not up all night as a result of this :\ I just couldn't resist this wonderful French Roast coffee... and I spiked it with just one shot of Bailey's so feels extra good :D
 
Thanks. I might spend some of my birthday money on that. Small gift for myself right?
I have a lot of trouble spending money on myself....unless it's drugs. lol
 
if you like coffee. Yuck. I wish I did, really, cause I miss out on a whole specialty culture cause I think it tastes like dirt...
 
I don't drink coffee either, the smell turns my stomach. Instead I drink Stash black chai tea. It's my favorite chai, mmmmm. Even the decaf Stash chai is good, when you want a warm, spiced drink at night.


Spicy, aromatic blend of black teas, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, clove and cardamom.

Some of the finest black teas in the world come from India, the world's leading producer of tea. Included in these teas are the robust "malty" Assams, fine distinctive Darjeelings and well - balanced Nilgiris. However, most tea consumed in India is not enjoyed for its fine, subtle flavor nuances, but instead is blended with sweet and pungent spices to make the popular beverage, "Chai".

Indian Chai is enjoyed in cities and the smallest of villages, and usually is offered to every visitor to a home. In Northern India, where Chai is the beverage of choice, tiny tea stalls line the streets where all day long "chaiwallas" (tea vendors) brew and serve tea.

Chai is usually brewed very strong with lots of sugar and milk and often concentrated. Traditional Indian Chai combines rich black tea that is boiled in milk and flavored with local spices such as sweet cinnamon, sharp clove, penetrating cardamom, and occasionally black peppercorns, pungent ginger and hot red chilies, and sweetened with sugar. This spicy tea is brewed in a samovar - type vessel and is always served very hot.Hurried customers often pour a little Chai in the saucer to cool it before drinking.

For our interpretation of this classic Indian drink, we blend rich, flavorful Indian black teas and cinnamon, clove, ginger and cardamom. The brewed tea is very aromatic with a flavor that is slightly sweet, strong and penetrating, with rich, full bodied lingering flavor notes. This tea is very pleasant plain, or with milk (regular or evaporated) and sugar added. It is exceptional any time of day, as a rich morning cup, enjoyable dessert tea or as a special taste treat.
 
Ok girls...what products are you enjoying right now. I'm looking for new girly things to play with. :)
I've been using the Covergirl lip stain.

I really like it. It's a really natural look.
BUT you have to exfoliate you lips often in the winter or it looks really bad...
 
^ Those look really fun, as do their new shadow sticks. I think they might be my next makeup purchase.

Have you had any luck with your moisturizer situation?
 
I just found these!!

I want them soooooo badly! I think I'm going to save up and order them. I'm not usually a shoe whore, but since I've subscribed to like three different fashion magazine its so hard to refrain from creating "want lists" LOL

I have pair of those wedge sandals (not Coach) in brown and another pair in yellow.
Nine West. Very similar style. $39 at TJ Maxx
I work 8 hours in them without pain.
 
So I am going out shopping for a new laptop.. window that is until i get my financial aid... Its so hard not to walk into Sephora and purchase another 100 dollars worth of pretty in a jar. :-/

Wedges are the best... I am eyeing these black buckled ones with the large ankle cuff. drool
 
OMG, don't get me started on DiorShow! It's my NUMBER ONE mascara, above all others. But the fact that it costs $50AU a stick (and only slightly less on StrawberryNet) means it's a very occasional splurge item. :|

Honestly I don't even open fashion, beauty and other goodies emails or catalogues when I don't have money. There's no use drooling and amping yourself up into a state of severe want when there's no way you can afford it! :p
 
I've never found a better mascara-- tho the yves saunt laurent is pretty good too.. I just really love the consistency of Dior more, like it actually grabs the lash.

Seriously check out the Makeupforever HD foundation, it brings out the beauty of the skin -- not paints on a color. Its pricey, but very concentrated - a bottle lasts me about 6 months + at 50 USD.

TJ Maxx is so hit or miss for me. Sometimes I'm able to find a gem, but it's pretty rare.

$39 is a MUCH better price than the $218 that those shoes are going to cost.

Speaking of Dior, I just purchased this new perfume yesterday, it smells delicious. I bought the $75 bottle, but it's pretty good sized and I know it will last me a long while so I didn't mind the splurge.

I have a very hard time finding mascaras that I can use regularly. For me, it seems like after the first time the mascara just doesn't work the same.

Are there any methods that you chicks use to keep the mascara smooth? I've tried soaking the bottle in warm water before I put it on, but even that doesn't always work.
 
I love Dior Cherie - it's such a feminine, gentle scent. :)

Re: mascara, I suggest not double dipping in the tube! You might think you need to dip[ it in there multiple times per lash, but in reality the designers make it so enough product is on the wand for one application. Every time you pump the wand you're actually pumping air into the container and air = dry, flaky mascara.

The only trick I use is running the mascara tube under hot water for a few seconds to loosen it up, the same as you've been doing.
 
Re: Eh. I have a hard time remembering to use the moisturizer since it's not in my normal routine and I don't have set hours for a schedule. But I am trying to remember now. No results yet. We did hook up a humidifier in our bedroom because my sinuses have been hurting and I had been getting nosebleeds every day. So that might help as well...
