awesome lip balm and clarifying previous post

So I won a ring setting from blue nile. I didn't win the diamond but I won the setting. I am going to have my 1 carat diamond put into the new setting and my lesser quality diamond put into my old 1 carat setting. Then I plan on selling my original gold setting. :) very cool.

Anyways on to the main focus of this post. Clarins instant smooth crystal lip balm. AMAZING!!!!
Unfortunately I think they no longer sell it. But I so want all three colors. Prolly multiple of the red one.

Jewelry gifts that I would love (from George)

I say from George because well many of these items I would only expect George to get for me. Obviously the wedding rings I wouldn't want from anyone else. But some of the other things like the earrings or pendants or bracelets and fashion jewelry, I wouldnt mind from anyone else. However all these items are pretty expensive so yeah mainly these would be gifts from George.

 BLUE NILE items
1. A pretty carved plat wedding band to either stack with my current plat band or to wear with my diamonds. $1030-1090 (honestly im not sure why one is more expensive than the other)
Both of these are from blue nile

 2. Pearl bangle $130
I just like this particular design. wish it was in the colors of the ring above though.
3. This one I don't really want but just think its pretty.
$2225
4. Earrings (studs)
Id love a pair of martini studs in white gold (1 ctw preferred)
Bezel studs in either white metal or yellow gold. these would be great in champagne or orange diamonds with yellow gold. (to match my orange diamond ring)
5. Great pair of silver fashion earrings like these $63

 6. tennis necklace (imitation diamond is just fine)
This one is from qvc in diamonique


7.Crystal cat pendant
I do prefer one that looks like mouse though. Maybe one of those silver etchings of mouse.
like this one from photoetching I think prices are around $50

Celebrity Engagement rings

Kim Kardashian ring

Too bad it didn't work out already. I wonder what she is gonna do with the ring. I would think she might give it back to the guy.

personally I like the smaller carat rings. Before I got engaged I wanted a ring like this. Unfortunately the one we had an eye on was sold out. Rings like the one below were also way out of price range. But still pretty. Im actually happier with the engagement ring I got. While I love the blue, I find myself changing out my ring all the time anyways. In fact I am currently wearing one of my ebay rings.

The center diamond is Round 0.57 carat F color VVS1 clarity diamond. It is not huge but this ring costs 5700 bucks. So even though it is a smaller stone. I think that it is every bit as pretty as the 20+ karat ring.


bunch more blue niles ones that i like. These were recently purchased.






Now that I am thinking numbers, I think I'll go study some more tax stuff before bed.
 I think they range from a little less than half carat center stones to over a carat.

Hey Kathryn (I know you are probably the only one reading this) Can you share this info with mom and dad and Roberta. The things I probably would like the most s honestly the kindle (which is fine if I dont get because its costly) and I would like the ring holer, beauty products, and bathroom rug. The other stuff I just added because I like them. :)

Also I didn't win the kabuki brushes, woudl you prefer those or the sephora brush stuff?
