July Storage Solution!
I was beginning to find the office storage drawers impractical for my pencils.
I searched the house for an item which I could repurpose. I found the most practical solution yet! YAY!
I used to be a Kitchen Consultant for The Pampered Chef. I own a considerable amount of their products. One of which includes the Tool Turn About. I have 3, so I was able to condense some of my tools & free up one for my makeup storage.
Tool Turn-About — $18.00
Store more! An extended base has an improved spinning function that handles up to 10 lbs. of tools and still spins freely. The new black color complements any kitchen and appliances, even stainless! Dishwasher-safe.
When I sold PC, the Tool Turn Abouts were WHITE.
I found a practical solution at my local WalMart.
The revolutionary no-prep, superbond Fusion for Plastic® now makes painting plastic possible.
No sanding or priming required
Bonds easily to most plastics, PVC, resin and more
Fast dry; fully chip resistant after 7 days
Features EZ Touch 360® Dial Spray Tip
It took 15 mins to dry & 1 hr until I was able to handle it. I'm thrilled with my new solution for storage. There are a number of other things which could be stored in this handy item. How about makeup brushes? The possiblities are endless.

More NARS
I took advantage of the free shipping for $25 order special on the NARS website.
I was superdisappointed when I received PennyLane Cream Blush instead of the rare Mounia Powder Blush I've been drooling over for the past two months. LOL I wasn't able to talk to a live person until my 3rd attempt. She explained they have only 1 customer service rep who was out to lunch. To my surprize, I received the original blush I ordered today as well as a gift for the inconvenience of the incorrect order.
I still need to send back the Penny Lane. No word yet from NARS re: generating a return label for Fed-X.
Anyway, check out the haulage!
MOUNIA BLUSH (Cinnamon Coral w/ slight shimmer)
Just 1 swipe. Barely touched my brush!
GOODIE! (bonus LipGloss Set MISBEHAVE-SWEETREVENGE-ALL NIGHT LONG)
Still working on dupes!
Still on my wish list are:
NARS BOOGIE NIGHTS, GIZA Lippies
OUTLAW, TAOS, TORRID Blush
I'll be done after that till the end of the year so I can take advantage of their gift special. What's on your NARS wish list?
