Quote from annicus :
all 4 palettes:
naked 2 on the left, then shady lady 2, stila in the light, naked 1.


swatched:
top: naked 1. bottom: stila in the light.
it does seem like they were made to be very similar to each other. the stila palette to me seems a bit more red. it's a good comprehensive palette between naked 1 and naked 2.


naked 2 swatched:
very top sparse swatches - shady lady 2 shades that looked similar to naked 2.
round swatches - naked 2.
bottom longer swatches - naked 1.
Thanks so much! Great swatches too! heart Looking at this, I think I'll get the naked 2 pallet Big Grin

here's another pic:

imo there are a couple of shades in shady lady 2 that look similar to shades in naked 2. 1 of them is insane jane/pistol. pistol is cooler/more grey than insane jane. the others are similar but not really.
i didn't realize how similar naked 1 and stila in the light were! i was surprised by how pigmented 'blackout' is in naked 2, compared to the matte black in the stila palette.

after doing this, i think i am keeping naked 2! Whee

That's nice that something good is coming out of it woot!

I had a friend that did this and she said it messed up her digestive system. She just said the best thing she should've done was just eat healthier and drank water instead of any of these fad things.

Don't get me wrong, I looove Odwalla and Naked, they're so good, but not as the sole food for my day.
Love Naked Juice!

Quote from PordaPoddy :
For more : tvhappy: ...
When talking about what house to rent, bride declared 1 to be her absolute favorite and pushed us to book it immediately. We start talking budget and sister sends an email stating she can only afford $250, though the house they want requires $350 pp if everyone shows up and $500+ if it's just BM's paying. We say "OK, can't afford this one, lets look at the others" and then sister says "Oh, what if I raised the amount?". In talks with the other BM's, turns out bride and sister thought that the youngest should not have to pay as much as the older people in the group and that we would kick in the rest. FaintDude, we're not even her friends, we're the groom's friends! : nono2:As it turns out, even the girl she went to HS with would not categorize herself as a "very good friend". You'd think that would curb a bride's expectation of her bridesmaids : scratchh:
Are you kidding me? Is this chick clueless or what? $350 PP if everyone shows up? I would of said enough is enough and dropped out of that wedding party. She is Crazy I think once one defects more would follow and maybe she would get a clue. No

Review:
Shimmery Wireless Push-Up Bra Top [victoriassecret.com] : Looks just like the picture, only with a little more cleavage. I'd say $30 is worth it since it feels so well made and the "push-up" part feels more like heavy padding. This puppy is coming to Maui with me, we leave tomorrow morning Big Grin Surf
Love those tops! Wish I could go with you to Maui!

Quote from kurips :
at folica, this hair treatment oil [folica.com] shows 2 gifts ($15 value total) in cart. reviews at sephora are great.
Did you see Makeup by Tiffany's haul post yesterday? She was talking about Alterna Bamboo Volume Plumping Strand Expand [folica.com] and now I must try it! That is also showing up with the samples. I may hold off another week. I've got a few packages showing up this week already. Coverlaugh

Why, oh why can't I pack for sh*t? DH wakes up in 10 minutes and I never went to bed- takes to long figuring out what to bring Crazy

Quote from azn1x6flame :
His justification for having his 3 guitars and not knowing how to play them is that he got video games to teach him where he can hook up the guitar to the console and learn shake head We just had a long conversation about all the games he wants to get me in the future shake head and how I'd rather him save his money.

I'm not really sure about the living situation in the future just because of my pets. Hopefully we can have something set up together, kind of like what you're talking about and I think I'm just going to put what I would spend away just for our future. Hoping he'll take the lead. But it sounds like I would be doing something similar to you, saving up as much as I could and show him and ground him.

Enjoy your vacation, get away from Bridezilla and thanks for your wise words!
How funny, DH knows how to play guitar and we had to buy the Fender guitar/controller (real guitar but also plays on Rock Band) so he could "really feel like I'm playing". We should compare notes more often, these boys are sooo creative Coverlaugh We still have our combined wedding account, but changed the name of it to "Future Fund" . Good luck with your man~ $ differences were one of the more frustrating things to work through, but worth it.

Thanks I will, I've got that VS toiletry bag stuff with all of my goodies Big Grin

. . .
They got wind of bridal party personnel considering bailing and they still talk as if it would be our loss since it is such a privilege Crylol . It is an honor to be included, but nonetheless a FAVOR to them.
ETA: It isssssss with my in-laws , but we should be cool. This time we're bringing my younger Bro. From there he'll travel to China, Japan, and I forget the others heehee. That boy is only bringing a school backpack for 4 weeks of travel, could not convince him to get a backpacking backpack. Sounds like he'll be real fresh by the end!

You're not making it any easier for me to choose between Naked 1 or 2 though. Teehee

I'm the same way. He gets so mad at me. It gets harder when you have a kid and have to remember all their stuff.

There's one charity that will come to your house around here if you have a lot of stuff. Dh has called them before. I think it's salvation army or Hannah home. I'm not sure. He did it when we were moving.
I think here it's the Boys and Girls Club. It doesnt even need to be a lot of stuff. They will just come and pick stuff up either on designated days or when you say to..

Also Vietnam Vets

http://www.pickupplease.org/acceptable-donations

I think it might be a good idea to donate stuff to these guys Wink I think I am going to try to do that myself this summer.
