Love at First Sight

I remember the first time we met.  It was on the old Neiman Marcus floor in Houston, before the wonderful remodeling.  I hadn't yet realized that this woman, this petite and happy woman would change my life.  It was love at first sight.  I had spoken with her about my obsessions, my loves, my dislikes, and why I am what I am - a beauty junkie.  I remember trying to explain to my father why I gave her so much of me that night - money that is.  The woman was Trish McEvoy.  The product was the first beauty planner she created.  Eventually, that planner led to other planners, and other products.  She called my face chocolate silk.  I called her gorgeous.  When I was out of town one time and couldn't see her, my friend Leslie picked up the slack.  She purchased the Trish porcelain china cup that currently holds her brushes.  Leslie, I thank you.  Every time I pick up a brush out of the cup I think of you.  So, in honor of these two gorgeous women, Trish and Leslie, I open myself to another beautiful interpretation of the No. 9 fragrance.  This time, it's the Blackberry & Vanilla Body Scrub.  Trish, you've given me Sexy No. 9, Wild Blueberry Vanilla candles, and now this.  Where can our relationship go from here?  Back to her makeup counter!

Ooooh, you make me so jealous with the talk of Trish and Sephora! They're not available in Australia - nope, no Sephora in Oz! - which is quite tragic! Not to mention the special MAC collections either don't make it here at all, or at different times - Balloonacy isn't released here until Sept and I want the quad NOW. Wah.
Enough whinging - loving your site as always, my #1 beauty read. I've just finished Jodi Picoult's latest novel, Nineteen Minutes, which is VERY thought-provoking and perceptive, and emotionally wrenching - the subject is SO current and significant. Picoult gets better and better. Can't wait to read Ephron's book; as for culinaria I'm deep into Marcella Hazan and Mai Pham (Italian and Vietnamese, eclectic much?).
Hugs and pretty palettes forever,
Juliana
PS - what do you think of the NARS Artist Palette? Will you be purhasing or do you have all the elements already? I can't resist a palette ...

Hi Julia,

First thing I did today was read All About the Pretty and I was honored to be mentioned with Trish! I actually drink coffee from my adorable Trish cup, but I think it is time to retire it to hold my brushes! I love all of Trish's products and she is adorable in person! Have a great weekend!
Love,
Leslie
P.S. Let the Lip Gloss be with you!

Thank you for mentioning Trish. I love her products and her planners are fabulous! I feel she doesn't get enough mention out in the makeup world.
