Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
So I've been doing this for a couple of weeks even before I came across this post
Today I wore Rollickin' p/p (only my 2nd time), Azreal Blue p/m (which I love and just have neglected), & used the dark brown in my By Jupiter MES. It was lovely. I've been using Chocolate Brown p/m lately, so this is a nice alternative to Chocolate Brown p/m. It wasn't bad, but I don't LOVE it. I also busted out Hush CCB to use as a highlight.

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
Oh, I also meant to add that last night I put together a list of my e/s and pigments and separated them into lists of: Love, Swap & Somewhere in between.

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
Decided to play with some pinks/purples today.
For the eyes, I did Seedy Pearl on the lid, Satellite Dreams in the crease, Thunder in the outer "V", Vanilla e/s and Pink Opal Pigment to highlight. Blacktrack to line.
Pink Swoon on the cheeks.
Take A Hint Tendertone on lips.
I'm not in love with the look, but maybe it'll grow on me as the day goes on.
If not, at least I found I actually like Seedy Pearl if I use my 242 to pack it on.

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
It's dreary out today, so I decided to do bright, cheery colors.
On my eyes, I used Gorgeous Gold on the inner 1/3, UD Graffiti in the middle, and Tease N Teal on the outer 1/3, Vanilla and Nylon to highlight. Smolder to line.
NARS Orgasm on the cheeks
Hush, Hush Tendertone on lips.

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
Today in a rush I threw on rubensque paint pot, mancatcher on lid, sea myth on browbone and inner corners, and get this- club in the crease and to line. I got a lot of compliments, I was hoping club would retain some green or blue but it turned A browner purple color instead... In any case it was a winner

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
Today I shopped my stash in a different way. I print out all the face charts from the website but never use them! So they're the thing in my collection thats gone to waste so far so I did the Sunsonic look from Neo Sci Fi today. It's come out quite nice, a day-time friendly smoky eye.
I replaced Time and Space with Satin Taupe though (couldn't find my Patina this morning in all the rush before work), Femme Fi with Solar White (really complimented Evening Aura better) and Sunsonic lipstick with Gentle Simmer (just looked more neutral) and dabbed some Cult Fave over the top

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this combo before (I hope not), but it is OMMMGGGG GORGEOUS!!!  Someone and everyone has to try Hellium pigment on top of Sharkskin shadestick!!!!!!!! Its amazing people.  I know I'm getting a little excited but I looooove the color. It looks like a deep grey with purple undertones and a mad case of pink duochrome. HOT.
Okay I'm calming down.  Hehehe. Anyways I also added my fave matte grey, Soot in the crease and a liiiiittle bit of Carbon in the outter crease. Verrry pretty!!!!

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
I was lazy today so I did a quick neutral-ish look;
I had Cash Flow p/p as base (I think this is my most used p/p), Tan p/m on the inner lid, Goldmine on the middle lid, Bronze on the outer lid and Vanilla p/m to highlight. I lined my lower lashline with Freshwater. I have my Too Faced Bronzer on with Pink Grapefruit l/g.

Re: The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!
Me too on the lazy, so I wore no base, the green blue side of my kajiki stila duo on lid with the dArk blue pewter side in my crease, and I swirled some retrospeck and naked lunch in inner corners and on browbone with the 224. I used refined golden as a blush and had vg v gloss on lips
