Cheap Chic - The Alternative to Mac Brushes + MAC Shadow Dupes
[I love EnKore's Videos]
This weekend I plan on sprucing up the makeup bag a little bit, and start branching out of my comfort zone; I want to play around with different colors, and maybe even some drugstore brands. Last night I was online pricing makeup brushes, and I let out a "oh hell no"! - I don't mind spending money on quality products, but for a noob like me, spending a few hundred on some makeup brushes is completely out of the question. I am also the kind of girl that doesn't have to have the name brand, I am all about what works.
Apparently these Lowe Cornell brushes are all the rave, and I am the last to know! For those of you that are interested in the brushes, but can't bring yourself to watch the 9 minutes of video, I have listed the Mac brushes, and the "Craft Store" dupes [I would suggest Michael's or even JoAnn's Craft Store] for your convenience.
Too bad I can't find a MAC 217 dupe. I have really been looking everywhere and it seems as though I may have to break down and buy it. If any of you out there have an recommendations, please let me know! THX!

Susie & RanD Angels
My favorite Susie, but I have a weakness for Kimono's even though this is the only doll I own wearing one.
The only Joe Tai dolls I owned. One of them fell apart, that's a first I've had that happen. She was just laying on a plank alone and the next time I wanted to change her clothes her leg was still in her pants after undressing. She was the wigged doll which was an Manika Exclusive. Her fashion was great though.
Another had a fault in the bust part from the fashion. It was a huge disappointment, since these dolls were quite expensive.
Love this box. The artwork they put on them were fabulous! Now they are just plain and all the same, but I can understand that with this economy. While I don't have these boxes anymore, I love looking at the pics made of these.
Just a picture so I can remember the bag was from Joe Tai. I really like this bag.

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window...
A long weekend. 4 days of doing nothing. I want to enjoy every second but all i can think of is having fun in my dreams under the sheets. My plan is to lay in bed and turn off my mind. I really need to catch up with my sleep. Though i´m pretty sure somebody will take my hand and make me go outside in the best of my dreams. I´ll wait and see what the days have in store for me. Maybe i´ll just open one eye when given an Easter egg on Sunday. Until then...
".Please don't spoil my day. I'm miles away."

I Love To Leave The Interpretation of My Music Up To The Listener. It's Fun To See What They'll Say It Is - Erykah Badu
That was a pretty eventful post yesterday! I really enjoyed reading all of the comments, and I appreciate everyone's point of view. I think this is a video you either hate or love, but it's always good to hear other people's perspectives. I love a good debate, and there were some awesome points mentioned.
Thank you to Seygra20 for pointing out that this video was inspired by Matt & Kim's Lesson's Learned [you know I googled the heck out of that when I got home..lol]. There is a debate going on right now [in the comments on youtube] comparing the two vids, and if Erykah received more flack.. And thank you to Indigo who answered Negesti7's question; Group Think was what came out of Erykah's mouth when she fell to the ground.
A type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group.I remember watching this video in my psychology class, which talked about the group think phenomenon. Pretty interesting stuff. Do any of you agree with the group think theory?
During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance. The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight.
