Fun fun fun @Titian06 !

Thanks, @Ispend2much6 ! 🥰

Thanks for you lovely swatches @Titian06 ! The blush shades look fab on you. That’s such a great bag , they come in so handy! What are you crocheting?! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Sunnysmom !  At the moment I'm working on a pillow cover.  I have all the granny squares made.  Now I just need to join them.  Before I can do that, I have to vacuum the carpet (I haven't laid out the pattern yet).  Yea, that means I'll get Ivan's input, but it's easier to spread out on the floor! 😄

[blackkitty2014]

Wait am I reading right? Are you making a pillow cover out of this cute thing? Excellent idea @Titian06 🥰 please show us when you finish, 

[Titian06]

@blackkitty2014 - I'm making a pillow cover out of crocheted granny squares.  I can use the bag to hold my project.

[blackkitty2014]

Gotcha @Titian06 . Thx.

[Sunnysmom]

That sounds awesome @Titian06 and esp with Ivan’s help of course! I bet it’s very relaxing or hope it is! ( I tried to knit a few times with the help of my gram but didn’t go so great. Ahem, lack of patience over here 🥹.) 

[Titian06]

@Sunnysmom - Yea, knitting is whole different story!  I have tried so many times, even taking classes in person and online.  I just can't do it!  I'm sticking to crochet. 🥰

[Sunnysmom]

Phew, good to know @Titian06 ! I truly respect anyone who can knit! I bet your creations are wonderful ! 💞

The loose eyeshadows sound interesting, @Titian06. The swatches look good! I hope they're easy to use.

[Titian06]

Thanks, @curlychiquita !  I love using loose eyeshadow (as well as blush and setting powder), so I *had* to get one or two of these.  I've never used from a bottle, only a jar.  I just need to figure out how I want to apply.

Pretty swatches @Titian06! 😍 Will be interested in your feedback on the loose eyeshadows after a day's wear. Did you experience any fallout with the shadows? 

[Titian06]

@itsfi - I wore the loose eyeshadows on Saturday from early morning until evening.  They looked great all day:  no fading and no fall out.  I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance 24-Hour Eyeshadow Primer 0.2 oz / 5.7 mL (the formula that came in the squeeze tube).  I tapped a bit of eyeshadow in the lid of another loose eyeshadow jar (just from the applicator) then used either a pencil eye brush or a fluffy eye brush to apply, then used a blending brush.  The powders are easy to use/apply and blend.  They wore well all day; no creasing, fading, or flaking.  Definitely recommend if you're interested!

[itsfi]

I'm definitely interested @Titian06 but I've done more than my fair share of splurging this month, on beauty items and non-beauty items, so I may hold off on these for a little while longer. Or, I mean, I may try to hold off for a little longer 🤣

[Titian06]

Thanks, @itsfi !  There was no fall out when I opened the bottle or pulled the lid/applicator off/out.  I tapped the applicator on the inside of the bottle neck a few times before swatching just to be on the safe side.  There still wasn't any fall out.  I've never used loose eyeshadow from a bottle, but I have used loose eyeshadow for decades.  I'm not sure I'll use the applicator to apply since that goes back into the bottle.  I'll provide wear feedback in a day or two as well as how I decide to apply.

[Sunnysmom]

Woohoo @Titian06 !! Love your gorgeous new goodies. 😍 402 and all are so pretty on you. All the samples, way to go Nordies! 

[Titian06]

@Sunnysmom - I will definitely be decked out in Chanel tomorrow when I go to CompuNet! 😄
