Thursday Poll - by Joeybunny!


Hello everyone! I am so sorry I’ve been MIA lately; I have still yet to replace my broken camera, and doing picture-less blog posts isn’t fun. It really stinks because I miss blogging and I feel like I have some pretty things to show everyone. Oh well, Elvira let me have the Thursday Poll post so I can’t complain!


I’ve actually been in a makeup rut lately. Maybe it’s not a rut, but I have been stuck on the same colors lately. Just like Elvira has been all crazily obsessed with purple nail polish, I’ve been crazily obsessed with purple and pink eye shadows! From the MAC Crush Metal Pigment: Stacked 1 set, to the MAC Colour 3 eyeshadow quad, to my latest Fyrinnae haul, I have just been loving these colors. Cooler purples and pinks straddle the line between looking icy-cool for winter and looking colorful and springy. That’s nice, since the weather in New York City can’t make up its mind as to whether it should stay cold or start warming up. I also need to dig through my stash to see if I have any neglected shades in this color family - just this morning I found a L’Oreal HIP duo in Sculpted that I bought almost exactly a year ago, and it has the most gorgeous cool-toned mauve and deep shimmery purple colors. Where the hell has this eyeshadow been hiding? I think I’m long overdue for a stash evaluation.


So, on to the poll!


1)What color has dominated your makeup wardrobe and/or your face lately?: Like I said, I’ve been all about purples and pinks. I can’t remember the last time I wore a taupe eyeshadow, omg! I clearly need an intervention.


2) What item from any Spring collection have you been the most pleased with? What item has disappointed you the most?: I’m really enjoying my NARS Kuala Lumpur eyeshadow duo still, and I love the MAC Colour 3 eyeshadow quad. I’m not sure I’ve been disappointed with an item per se as much as I was disappointed with collections as a whole. Nothing really WOW-ed me so I am hoping that the upcoming Summer collections are much more exciting. So far, I’m anxiously awaiting Chanel Summer - I LOVE the Fluo glosses and will probably be purchasing both! Also, the new Paul and Joe eyeshadows need to hurry the hell up and come out already. I am also dying to try the MAC cream bronzers coming out. Oh, and I’m sure NARS Summer will be good.


3) What’s your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies?: I was talking about this with Elvira the other day. I live and die by Thin Mints, although Samoas are nice too. I swear, I wish I knew a Girl Scout. Or maybe I don’t, because I would be obese if I had a steady source of the damn cookies.


4) Can you believe it’s March already?: No, in all seriousness, I cannot be the only person who is amazed that it’s already March.


5) What are you currently lemming?: The standard lemming question, sorry! I only ask because I’m lemming something I’ve never really paid attention to before - MUFE (Make Up For Ever) eyeshadows. I’m lemming #92 (gorgeous matte deep bright purple), #127 (TAUPEEEEE!), #141 (shimmery mauve-pink), and Diamond eyeshadow #311 (shimmery reddish burgundy-brown). I have never really been into MUFE eyeshadows and now all of a sudden I want four of them! WTH?! I’m lemming Benefit Buckle Bunny Velvet eyeshadow and NARS Ondine eyeshadow, too. I did also play with the new Tarina Tarantino makeup and I was decently impressed by the eyeshadows. There are three I like...but I have to get over the terrible packaging first. Gosh, so tacky!


6) Looking back on the previous Pink Sith blog entries, is there any one item that Elvira or I reviewed that you’d love to get?: I have to admit I have bought *most* of the items that Elvira has reviewed that I have wanted, but there are a few things I haven’t that I would love to get a hold of. I really would love the Chanel Le Ligne celadon cake liner, especially!

  1. 1. Taupe. Duh and Red lips more lately.

    2. You know what? I don't think I purchased anything from the pring collections...unless you count that MAC lip Gelee..which am certainly not. I'm disappointed that Guerlain awesome fantastical blush is overspray...but I didn't purchase it so I'm safe.

    3. I'm boring but I like Trefoils The regular shortbread ones. But get me on a PMS day with a box of thin mints and you better watch your fingers if you try to take one.

    4. No. No I cannot. I am in March Denial.

    5. Lemming the Chantecaille Dolphin palette. It will be mine. Sis you see Sabrina's post on The Beauty Look book? *dies*

  3. 1. Work has been so crazy that I'm all about fast neutrals in the morning- mostly my Dior Elegante quint
    2. I've really only bought a few things lately- I love the Joie De Vivre cream blush from Lillyland...and the Cyndi Viva Glam...but I've been pretty thrify
    3. Lemonades!!! It's so hard, I work for GS, and the Cookie Cupboard is just near my office---all those beautiful boxes of cookies stacked up, right there where I can see them...yummm....
    4. Uh, no. I can't even believe it's Thursday. And I'm so tired.
    5. Tons of stuff. The new Chanel lipsticks, the BB Bonfire palette, some of the Liberty of London collection from MAC, a ton of new nailpolishes...
    6. Those dadgum Chanel lipsticks. I want Mademoiselle and Perle. NOW.

  4. Joey - you are too cute!

    1. Color dominating my current makeup wardrobe - I'd have to say peach/coral lipglosses and lipsticks.

    2. Yes to Kuala Lumpur duo (I'll wear it tomorrow), love my Fresh Salmon, Viva Cyndi and Radicchio MAC lipsticks. I'll be picking up Richer and Lusher (coral) cremesheen gloss later tonight.

    3. Thin Mints all the way (esp. out of the freezer) and I do love Samoas. I have a love/hate relationship with the Girl Scouts!

    4. I'm ready for some March Madness - I actually dig watching basketball with my husband. Well my excuse for spending Saturdays drinking beers and eating nachos!

    5. Current lemmings? Another Rouge Coco shade - looking at your Beige Felin and the new MUFE liquid blush. Also I would like to test out the Tarina Tarantino pink shadow in Bow but I keep thinking it'll make me look like I got an eczema outbreak around my eyes!

    6. Like you Joey, I really want to check out that Celadon Chanel Le Ligne cake liner. I would love to test my bent Sonia Kashuk eyeliner brush on it!! Oh and I am contemplating ordering MAC's Hypnotizing e/s online before they take it away.

  5. OH THANK THE LORD! THE THURSDAY POLL!!!! (I was having DTs)

    1)What color has dominated your makeup wardrobe and/or your face lately?:

    If lately is from 198-something to present, then I have to say red lips and black liner.

    I did wear nudish lips for a couple of days last week, though DH made me throw out my L'Oreal Color Juice in Passionfruit Whatever because it looked disgusting on me (his words). No great loss, it did look disgusting. Plus I have a back-up tube.


    2) What item from any Spring collection have you been the most pleased with? What item has disappointed you the most?:

    Not applicable!!!!!!!

    3) What’s your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies?:

    Thin Mints always disappointed me for some reason. I like the peanut butter sandwich cookies (blanking on the name). I used to order my GS cookies from the middle-aged corporate men at work who were selling for their kids.


    4) Can you believe it’s March already?:

    No and it's going too fast! SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!



    5) What are you currently lemming?:

    I am lemming a huge Colonial Revival house in the Buffalo, NY area.

    Joey,

    If you want me to go to MUFE with you, let me know.


    6) Looking back on the previous Pink Sith blog entries, is there any one item that Elvira or I reviewed that you’d love to get?:

    Probably the taupe shadows you two write about. I might re-name one of you Taupe-o Gigio (you can fight over the name). I know that's not a single item, though there is an Ulta shadow Pink wrote about (Mystique?) that I want to acquire.

  6. 1)What color has dominated your makeup wardrobe and/or your face lately?:
    This might sound weird, but I've been obsessed with using yellow pigment on my eyes lately.


    2) What item from any Spring collection have you been the most pleased with? What item has disappointed you the most?:
    Oh, Joeybunny, you made me realize something: I haven't purchased anything from any spring collection! D:
    I suppose I'll wait for MAC's summer collection.

    3) What’s your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies?:
    Samoa's are great, but I like ThinMints too. I really can't choose. Fortunately, my mom is a teacher, so I can expect these things once a year. My significant other told me to just order online, but I told him I don't want anyone knowing what a fatass I am when it comes to these cookies. I swear I'd hoard Samoas.


    4) Can you believe it’s March already?:
    No! I'm kind of weirded out by this.


    5) What are you currently lemming?:
    Well.. I want to place an order with Fyrinnae. Badly. That's next on my makeup to-do list.
    &Get the purple shadow! Or any MUFE shadow for that matter, I'm in love with them. They're worth the money, IMO.


    6) Looking back on the previous Pink Sith blog entries, is there any one item that Elvira or I reviewed that you’d love to get?:
    I'd love to have all the Chanel lipsticks that were reviewed! Other than that, any Fyrinnae stuff. (see above (: )

  7. 1. Browns & bronzes I'm finally getting sick of them.

    2. Really pleased with the BB Coral collection & Dior Coquette. Really disappointed with Chris & Tell lippie. Read my post if you want to know how disappointed.

    3. The peanut butter & choco ones--Do Si Does? and the shortbread. Awaiting my order from a friend's kid.

    4.No way, but I'm glad.

    5. Dior summer, prob Chanel summer who knows?

    Good job Bunny!

  8. Ha, I'm glad somebody else thinks the Tarina packaging is tacky as hell XD

  9. 1. Coral and bronzey shadows. Think "Sunrise" colors!

    2. Gosh I've been using MAC's Springshine Blush Ombre from Colour Forecast nonstop! I think a lot of people neglected this one and haven't given it the love it deserves. And I so, so wish I had purchased Ripe Peach when I had the chance -these blushes are great.

    3. Thin Mints =) My little sis is a girl scout and at some point in time, we had HUNDREDS stacked in the living room. We still have lots of boxes (containing the cookie boxes.)

    4. I actually wish it was April!

    5. I'm so wanting YSL Rouge Volumpte lipsticks in every pale/nude color they have. I also want several items from MAC's Liberty of London collection coming out next Thursday. (Blushes and lipsticks.)

    6.MAC Viva Glam Cyndi. I neglected it when it came out and gave Gaga all the attention. I need to go back for Cyndi sometime.

  10. 1. I have been on a pink binge. We don't see spring in Alaska until late April or early May, so I'm trying to will it here early.

    2. Unfortunately I am Spring collection ignorant this year. I waaaaay overspent in December and January so I have grounded myself from any new makeup purchases until I hit pan numerous times...though I'm not sure how long that is going to last.

    3. Hands down, Thin Mints. We keep them in the freezer.

    4. I can't believe it either. I actually had to pull up the calendar on my computer the other day to confirm what I was typing was correct.

    5. Refer back to #2 - I'm trying to be a good girl here.

    6. I WANT YOUR LANCOME L’ABSOLU ROUGE CHRIS & TELL!!! NO ONE in Alaska carried it...I even bid on a few on eBay (and got outbid almost immediately). My husband would divorce me if I paid $70 for a lipstick! So Joey, for lack of being able to get one - what would you recommend that's similar???
