WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistaroonis!

Hope your week was great!  Well I have yet ANOTHAH obssession.. hmph.  First, I would like to wish all da CHANUKAH celebratin’ sistahs a wonderful, fun, family oriented, latkah eating Chanukah 🙂  I decided this year that I would like my gift to be the beginning of a new collection :).  I know you are ASTOUNDED that I like to collect but honest I do.. I collect anything that doesn’t move..LOL.  So I decided that this collection would be a type of Heirloom for Jayden :).  It is LE CREUSET the enamel coated cast iron pots, pans and roasters.. I just love the quality, the colours, the heaviness.. it is “MAGNIFIQUE”.. said in French cuz that is where LE CREUSET originates. HMPH.   Why am I in love with a pot? AND STAMPS? and embroidery? and makeup ? and LEATHER GOODS and and and…. (next week I will let you in on yet ANOTHER obssession I have had for years and don’t think I have shared with you as of yet).  What do you collect?  What makes YOU happy? (aside from world peace of course and a world, COVERED, in BELLA RUBBAH 😉 )

Here is my first piece.. hope you love it as much as I do :).. Yes I KNOW it is a pot.. I am entitled to LOVE a pot ya know…

OK, now Let’s discuss some winnahs for Bellarific Friday Last WEEK!

Sistahs..  OK… so aside from my stamping and embroidery addiction, the creation of new stamps, tools etc I also love MAKEUP as you may all know… hmph.  So I took a little break from a BiZzy day and went shopping cuz I needed some FOUNDATION for my face… WELL.. the foundation turned into a bit of a spree

Someone once told me that NARS foundation was great. Someone Says that I should get help from Skin Helpers about what I am doing.. so that is where I started..LOL.. and continued.. and continued…

So here is what I bought and what I ADORE..

(1) NARS FOUNDATION (SHEER GLOW)– leaves a gorgeous DEWY texture

(2) NARS ORGASM blush (that’s the COLOUR ladies)- one sold every 4 seconds in the world- that and the BRONZER I use.. NARS LAGUNA

(3) NEW COLOUR LIPSTICK called CHRISTINA (not 100% sure about this one)  I am used to such drabby lipstick colours.. this actually has a bit of OOMPH.. so gonna try it out!

(4) new goldish lipgloss… YUM!  NARS called MOONFLEET

(5) KIEHLS- SUPERFLUID UV DEFENSE SPF 50 to put on over my moisturizer

(6) CLARINS concealer

(7) BOBBI BROWN GEL EYELINER in CAVIAR (LOOOVE THIS)

(8) and a new brush FOR THE GEL EYELINER (goes on like BUDDAH)

(9) BOBBI BROWN BRONZER BRUSH (LOOOVE)

(10) LASH FUSION XL MASCARA-  looking for a new one.. anyone with SUGGESTIONS?

AND THEN I BOUGHT AN EYE CREAM..  a new one from KIEHLS.. AVOCADO TREATMENT.. sounds LUSCIOUS but when I came home this is what was on it :(.. ONLY I would be the one coming home with a TESTER.. grrrr.. so now I have to wait til a new one comes in the mail. Until then, I’d decided to order contact lenses and make do with them.

I also bought THIS eye cream.   And I HAVE NOT STOPPED TEARING since..LOL.. my eyes are dripping.  so this is a real NO NO for moi. (but I gave it to Dena to see if she likes it 🙂 )

So that is my list of thingies bought.. aren’t they yummy?  and I am SOOOO BEEEYYOOOOOTIFUL right now..LOL

I am OFF to MICHIGAN to visit Paulabella tomorrow for some girly time and to hang out and SHOP for some black friday specials!! And LINDABELLA is joining us on Friday!

Stay TOOONED to da bloggypoo cuz there may just be a SURPRISE!

A reminder of Bellarific Friday this week!  ALL WHITE CARD with a coloured image but background all white 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who LOVE makeup

Would love to hear about your favorite products cuz I need MORE…LOL
