Avon. Can I Fuss?

I was cleaning out my makeup drawer the other day and

came across a tube of lipstick I haven't worn in awhile.

My first thought was to pitch it.
I mean after all it's been probably more than a month since I've worn it.

But then I thought "well I should inspect it first."

So I put it on and then I remembered why I liked this lipstick!

It goes on smooth and it's practically weight-less!

Not to mention the color and the wear ability are pretty good too!

And come on, for me to wear a pinkish color lipstick is almost unheard of!

But what kind of lipstick is this you may ask?

Ooh the suspense!

Well, you're just gonna have to keep guessing right along with me.

Cause see the only thing I know about this Avon lipstick is that the color is called Capture.

I have absolutely no idea what formula it is now or even how long I've had it.

Oh yes! I did venture to Avon's website to search for the formula, but to no avail.

Do you know how many different formulas of "tube" lipsticks I found?

Five! Are you serious?!

1. Avon Pro Luscious Pout Lip Color

2.BEYOND COLOR Plumping Lip Color SPF 15 with Double the Retinol

3.ExtraLasting Lipstick

4.ULTRA COLOR RICH Lipstick

5.ULTRA COLOR RICH Moisture Seduction Lipstick SPF 15

Who in the world needs that many different formulas in a tube lipstick?

That's A LOT of lipstick!

Come on ladies, let's keep it simple!

Mary Kay= one Creme Lipstick in 38 beautiful shades!

We have been busy busy around here!

Matthew's new bedroom upstairs is all finished and he'll be moving in very soon.

He picked African Jungle Orange for his walls and black for the ceiling and trim.

Bob sanded the 100-year old grime off the wood floor and then I coated it with polyurethane.

The new project is- painting the living room.

Not an easy task for short gal.

Oh I'm about 5'5" and my ceilings are about 10feet. (I think)

Anyhoo I'm doing the old plaster walls in Decadent Brownie and the trim in Warm Caramel.

It's going to look really good!

Ever have one of those days where you're only out of bed a couple of minutes and have all ready added 5 things to your to-do list for the day? (pause washer is buzzing)

That is what my day is like today. Well most everyday is like this for me to be honest. This morning after walking the dogs I started in.

There was cleaning up Ruby's mess, dealing with last night's leftovers, dishes, laundry (still a work in progress) and I've made a pot of tea.

Now if the storm lets up and the yard dries out I need to mow the lawn. At least I don't have to water the flowers. I do need to find a nice place for my flamingos though. The living room really isn't the place for them.  

I have been crocheting dish cloths like mad. Not that I need anymore. I have at least 10 in my kitchen! Crocheting is a great way for me to unwind. So now's there is the question of what to do with them. I suppose working on my online shop would be a really good idea. I haven't touched it in probably a month!

And you just know that Matt is going to pester me to clean out the back room later.

And then of course there will be dinner, more dishes, more dog walking.....

What's on your to-do list today?

Matthew's Room

Bob's been working away in Matthew's new room.

It doesn't seem like it has taken as long as Caitie's room.

Pics are not so great, but Bob has the walls framed out, electrical ran and insulation started.

There's still some junk. Fat man really needs a head.

This space is actually going to be Matt's closet.

Probably not much longer and Matthew will be moving upstairs.

Guess I better get busy on Hallie's room downstairs.

Caitie Moved In..

to her new room.

It just dawned on me that I haven't posted pics.

So here we go...

Ebay

Can I just take a minute to rant here?

Has anyone shopped on ebay lately?

I went shopping on ebay a couple moments ago for some "new" craft stuff. I would like to learn mixed media and one of the ladies at MJF is so sweet. She is going to be teaching us this craft.

So first I went to Wally-World to price some things. Ouch! (To some of it.) Then I thought I would check ebay. Well I could find some decent prices on initial bids, but shipping is RIDICULOUS! I mean I know the USPS has raised prices, but come on even the post offices prices aren't as high as what some of these people are charging.

I wonder if there is a craft supply swap or cheap craft supplies online somewhere? I shall go see. If any of you know a place, give me a holler. Thanks!
