My priorities: slightly flawed

My one goal for today: 
* Finish Fathers.

What I actually did: 
* Bought very nice underthings for half-price at DJs (50% off Simone Perle!)
* Went to four places looking for the perfect under-eye concealer that would mask dark circles without looking like I had little pale grey puffy pillows under each eye instead (failed to find any, damn my non-yellow-toned skin!)
* Purchased a nice Kala tenor ukulele for $100 off! 
* Learned to play a scale and two chords on said ukulele.
* Hatched plans for one-woman Vera Lynn Tribute Show (am semi-serious!)


If I can stay awake for another 120 minutes and type very fast, I might still be able to hit my first priority ... Though it is already 1am ...

Found a supplier only a few miles away and on the bus route! HURRAH!

Good luck! Hopefully they will let you sample some before you buy it. I know how it is to have so many shades make us look as if we're slightly ill. Not godawful, just...how was it you described below...slightly seasick!:)

P.S. I went to a makeup/style event recently and a rep from the Bobbi Brown cosmetic line was saying how their foundation colors came to be created..."because people weren't pink!" (his words).

Note to self: avoid Bobbi Brown foundations.

They're all pretty yellow, and most of their eye colours look best on yellow tones, too. Which is a shame, because they have some nice products.

Chanel is the same, can;t wear any of their foundations. Though their lipsticks are far broader in range and there are some lovely ones for non-yellow skins. They have such lovely pigments, I don't mind paying the silly prices, and they last forever!
