MMC welcome back. Cannot wait to see the "three" loots. :smile:

Did you actually go to FSH only or visited all three H shops!and was it pleasant to visit Paris in October ?

I went to FSH first, because there is a lovely SA there that I like. She is very patient, gives me good, honest advice and she is the only one that gives me samples and other things without me asking. Unfortunately I saw the last CSGM that I wanted being bought under the nose, so I went to Sevres to look for it. They didn't have it either, but they had another scarf in my list. I love the Sevres store, but I haven't found anyone particularly helpful there. I still enjoy shopping at FSH more.

I will tell more about my shopping at H after taking some pictures of my purchases. I was exhausted last night and today I left before the sun was out.

I am a one perfume girl also. Currently it is Thierry Mugler Angel. In contrast, I have a girlfriend who uses perfume to signal her mood. When she is ticked off, she puts on a pungent pine scent that sends the family a red alert message. She has other scents that signal other things. That was as amazing to me as the friend I had 30 years ago who changed her handbag daily. I had one handbag at the time, and she opened a whole new world view for me.

I love Angel, and every time I end up in a perfume store or at a duty free, I like smelling it. It turns on my skin, so I could never use it as my own perfume :(

I used to wear Angel and Alien since I was 12!!!!
I stopped wearing it because after all these years I couldn't smell it anymore, got very used to it, and now I use 3 perfumes, mademoiselle guerlain from their private collection, Armani prive rose d'arabie and Kelly Calèche :)
I would say that the most personal I feel now is rose d'arabie, I love ouds!!
I grew up with the idea of having just few perfumes, preferable just one, so I'm now deciding which one of these will be my forever fragrance :) !
Another one is Galop, but I'm not sure to love it every time I smell it!

So much perfume talk - In my teen/uni days, I wore Samsara and Lou Lou. And Anais Anais.

Then I switched to wear one by Costume National that smelled deliciously of cloves, cardamom and cinnamon - I have not been able to find a replacement. The closest was Cartier Declaration. I actually don't wear any perfume these days as it overwhelms my co-workers. A lot of workplaces are scent-free zones now.

If anyone knows a nice current sweet-spicy scent I would try it.

I know that many will probably frown over this, but after spending way too much money for lipsticks that did not last long enough or were too sticky or too dry, the one i like the most is the Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede. This is not liquid like the other Colorstay, it is just very very pigmented and feels reasonably mosturizing.

Maybe it is because for $12-13 i had lower expectations than for other lipsticks, but i really liked it and it felt comfortable.

I'm not frowning [emoji4][emoji168]
I wear high end makeup. Have so for years. The receptionist where I get my nails & hair[emoji1326][emoji140] done suggested I try a liquid eyeliner (L'Oreal Telescopic) & Rimmel Lipstick. They're not bad. I also tried a Revlon Lipgloss and I liked it. I'm not sure if I will buy anymore but for the price, it was worth a try.
I have to go back to read what's been going on since I my last post

MMC LOL about "BO". I am facing this situation in some of my meeting. It mainly comes from men who is from xxx country. Man it's so strong that I want to put a bit scented balm under my nose before going to that meeting.

Thank you! No it was quite a surprise. I had asked for a rouge h bag in box or another interesting leather in a Kelly. They just happened to receive this and it wasn't spoken for. It wasn't a special order. They just made it with the three leathers for durability and interest I think. The photos are terrible. I took them in the dressing room at the store, she will ship today and I'll have her tomorrow. [emoji2]

I love your bag from the pictures! It was meant to be for you!

I was a one perfume girl. I felt in a style rut & decided perfume should be part of the change. I do not think my style changed. Maybe evolved. It's still essentially the same.
For me, me a single fragrance is part of my personality. No matter how I want a new one, it just does not fit.
Angel is very popular and smells terrific on some people. I did not know what to think when I first sprayed it on. The SA told me "it grows on you." I thought the remark to be humorous & accurate!
I change my handbags more frequently than I did. Still not often for day. For nights & weekends I chose smaller bags.

Ohhh...Samsara! I used it a long time ago! My first perfume was Magie Noire, then I used Samsara for a while. I went deep into the incense/oriental scents for a while, when I was working mostly in the middle east. There are some extraordinary perfume makers totally unknown to the western world.

to a point, it might have been true.
I have the opposite - very dry skin, and my dermatologist told me to stop using moisturizer for three months over the summer, and not to use detergents of any kind - just water. The first couple of weeks were rough. By October it was somewhat balanced, which allowed me to be able to go back to use cream to protect my skin from the cold during the winter. Since then, I never use moisturizer during the summer and my skin feels overall less dry.

That interesting. I have dehydrated skin. If I do not put a moisturizer on, I get a taut, uncomfortable feeling. Maybe I'm not letting my oils have a chance to replenish naturally

In some countries (more than one) wearing deodorant is not considered a standard practice, with obvious consequences...sigh.
It is not just a question of where people come from, though. I have a person in my staff (an american man) whose smell is unbearable. Apparently if I mentioned something, it would be considered harassment (or so tells me my HR department). When I have to meet with him I keep my meetings short and possibly not in my office, since I cannot open the windows.
Yet, another woman is allowed to tell one of my very stylish and well put together staff not to wear perfume because she finds it offensive.

I am always puzzled by these rules.

These were the dishes from my recent vacation in Florida. [emoji39]

Had quite some sea food there.

I eat fish. No poultry. Once I a while, I'll taste a forkful of my husband's steak. I never cared for meat. I digest fish better. I always loved cottage cheese & have it as part of my breakfast.
A round about way of posting your pictures look appealing!! Where was this in Florida? I live in South Forida
