Arrived yesterday! I think they are all going back to the store. Got an opinion? #makeup #unboxing #shopping
The colors are blah—don’t you think. No pop!
Return, not for you.
Bleeding is bad and If you are wondering or unsure you don’t want to keep them. Send’em back
More like a gloss. Not much saturated color. Ok for hanging around. If it was a present, it's dandy 😉
Nah
Definitely blah.
They don't have the pop of what you normally wear but they still look good I'm no lipstick expert your lips look kissable, is that such a thing now days? Their your lips wear whatcha want lol
You need bold colors
I agree, they are a nope. Too unsaturated, thin, and shiny rather than moist.
Show the colors when you have foundation on, and use a lip liner and/or primer to prevent bleeding. I like the colors!
I like the colors, but maybe a lip liner to stop the "bleeding"?
love, Love, LOVE Sisley products. Been using their skin care line for 30 years. Try their hair products - they are the bestest. (Note: use a lip liner under the lipstick. The liner makes the lipstick stay longer & give it more depth.)
You know I do, trade up for some fishing stuff.
I agree, you are much more colorful than those colors! BORING!
What color have you been wearing? Wasn’t it Chanel? I thought it looked really good on you.
Trade in your lips. 🙂

Fun! Are you with Heather Abraham or David Highfield regarding a movie classic? Plus, find this Beatles collectible, a #vintage ukulele and a music box as I reveal values. Play along his week on Pittsburgh Today Live.
I love how Heather keeps her own scoreboard. Can you believe that part about the classic movie?
Watch at youtu.be/aNoAgLpMEms?si=0GUvAFif3T8hYzu4 and comment about the movie classic and get values for this week's items.
I got all three guesses correct today. That's amazing for me. I like your hair pulled back from your face. I think it looks very becoming.
Love your hair pulled back today - shows your lovely face!
I watch you this morning on Pittsburgh PTL. Heather and David tied today. ♥️

How to Prevent shrinking—don’t ask me! #cashmere #clothes #shopping #sweater
Wash clothes inside out, put in washer with vinegar, then spin on med not high then lay flat on towel over a rack
🤣 Same here! 🤣
I put nothing in the dryer. Just a couple of minutes to get the wrinkles out, then line dried. No shrinking. People think it is hot water, it is the dryer that is the culprit. Sheets and towels go in the dryer safely.
Hand wash cashmere or use a “hand wash gentle” cycle if your machine has it. Use cool water with a mild detergent like Woolite, dry flat. They make mesh drying racks that fit over tub that work great. Never dry in dryer.
Lay flat to dry.
Should take your sweater out of the washer machine and lay it on a big towel and shape it out and kind of stretch it sides ways and down wards that’s what I do with my sweaters and my husbands.
I have a little self charge gadget that removes these little balls. You run it over your item and it gently removes them- at least until the next wash.
Try soaking the sweater in a flat tray in downy and water. It’s supposed to regain its shape. Google it!
I know ow..wash clothes..use fabric softener..dont dry but dry flat
Oops! I hate pilly!
Happens to us all . Lol
You washed and dried cashmere, oh my! Did you consider dry cleaning? I don’t think I could wear the new trend of pilled sweaters. People won’t know if you’re wearing an old pilled sweater or a new expensive sweater.
I wash mine in luke warm water, in a mesh bag on delicate, that helps for no pills, then I dry it on just air & when it's barley damp lay it flat , it dries quickly, Don't you hate when that happens!, & it's always one of my favorite
Hi, we've all done that. Dr Lori, I don't buy sweaters because they always, pil, shrink, stretch out. They say dry flat. Who wants to look at that for days? Some are very pretty but I've learned the hard way. Not cheap, they look cruddy after a few washes. 🙁
Yes, but you are shrinking too
I wash a large wool sweater! It now is an infant small 🤣😂
I would be blaming it on the weather and my "winter sad brain"! I know there are some things I should not/ would not do. I know not to put my lined pants in the dryer but OOOPS! There they go!
Dr. Lori, how to justify a new sweater purchase, shrink it, oh no, I need a new sweater. 🤣
Pilling usually indicates some polyester content . You can “reshape” using room temp water and fabric softener ( helps relax the tightened fibres) back to normal size( unless the wool has become felted) 😊
I shrAnk it. 🤗
I never dryer my sweaters always dry flat or hang mine.
Good job Dr. Lori.
Sorry to hear that. 😒
Your sweater is kinda small... it happens sometimes nice color..it is crazy 🤪
Dryer?? Sweaters do not go in the dryer!

No matter what Phil the famous rodent sees today in Pennsylvania, it’s winter!! Freezing cold and snowy. Stay warm. #weather #groundhog #snow #um #psu
Some rodents taste good.
The older I get the longer the winters seems to be.
I don't like this rodent.
6 weeks of winter either way..I wish spring were already here! Have a great day))
Watched the announcement on tv. It is -5 here just north of Pittsburgh.
Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. 6 more weeks of winter 🙌. Like that is a surprise. We would have at least 6 more weeks of winter whether he saw his shadow or not. 🤣🙃❤️
The rodent has spoken: 6 more weeks of winter!
You are right! It is freezing and I am ready to be done!
