Thanks for all the love, ladies! Oooh Lou, Specktra blog sounds happy and exciting!!!

Debbie, love the lippie and the nails again! I'm asking for Zoya polishes for my birthday - I've decided. lol!

Day 13!

EYES: Sumptuous Olive, Dipdown Fluidline, Diorshow Waterproof Mascara

CHEEKS: Fusion Beauty Sculpt Diva Blush in Bella

LIPS: Smashbox Photo Finish l/s in Charming, Fusion Beauty Objects of Desire Lip Fusion in Rhinestone

No pics, but the Fusion Beauty stuff just came in from being ordered about a month ago before my no buy! They're really pretty - Bella gives barely any colour, but feels really nice on and seemed to last well all day after being set with powder. Rhinestone is suuuuper pretty, even in its packaging! Not a huge fan of doe-foot applicators, though - I feel like I can never get out enough product! Still, I paid under $20 for both of these with shipping from Hautelook, and so I'm happy with them as $10.00 items - I would never have paid full price for them, though!!! (The gloss alone is normally $38.00. Yikes!)

Debi i wish i looked as good as you with a nude look! Jan your look sounds pretty! and yes the specktra blog will be awesome!

today i am using one pigment - emerald green on my lids with club shadow in the crease and shroom to highlight. the i used a random brown urband decay liner. orgasm blush and fashion schoop gloss! simple but pretty!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Thank you, Lou! I think it look better in person and will definitely wear this look again, but maybe with a less gooey lipstick! lol

I have also kept it simple today. No eye makeup as I am just hanging at home, doing stuff, and my eyes are super itchy and runny from pollen. The usual for this time of the year. So..I slapped some MUFE HD foundation in 110, MAC concealer, MAC MSF in Natural, NARS Angelika blush, NARS Albatross for highlighter, MAC Plink l/s and Clinique l/g in Whisper. I look cute, fresh, pink and glowing.

super pretty soft look! i love it! and yes emerald green piggie seems to be one that is faked quite a bit

i failed at the challenge today. i didn't use any pigments!! i sat down and had the naked palette from ud in front of me and just started to use it. half way through i thought 'bugger!' must have been half asleep when i did my make up today!

 

[LMD84]

massive fail for me again today! i used different colours from the naked palette! but i shall be back to wearing pigments tomorrow i promice!

I used....
Face: MAC Studio Sculpt NC15, Select Cover Up NC15, Fleur Power blush, Pearl Blossom Beauty Powder
Eyes: Lime Crime Primer, MAC Bare Canvas paint, Chanel Apricot e/s for inner third, blended out into MAC Style Snob e/s, Chanel Ivory e/s as a highlight with MAC Gleam as a transition from lid to highlight, Smashbox Bionic mascara, Australis liquid liner, Ardel #110 lashes
Lips: Prestige Champagne lipstick, Smashbox Stylist lipgloss (I really liked this combination the other day)
Bit of a fail for me yesterday too as I reused heaps of products!

Sorry I've been MIA - parents came for a surprise visit yesterday so I had some last minute cleaning to do and was entertaining, and then had a crazy day today! Just one more tiny assignment to finish for my master's - I'm hoping I get it done tonight, because tomorrow morning I'm off to Quebec for my cousin's baby shower! We're surprising her I'll be away from Specktra until Wednesday, though!

Alright, here's Day 15 from yesteday, and I didn't wear any makeup today (gasp!) but I did do a pretty mani for the baby shower!

EYES: AiW Palette, Oraculum (Lid), Absolem (lower lashline), MAC Feline Kohl (tightline), Lancome Definicils Mascara

CHEEKS: Mighty Aphrodite Blush, By Candlelight MSF

LIPS: MAC Kissable Lipcolour in Temper Tantra (from Peacocky)





Super quick and easy look, but I felt so put together! I was pretty happy with this look

And heres Day 16's mani:

Witchcraft Nail Art in White (tips), Silver (roses) and Essie Sugar Daddy (nail - over white, under silver)





Hard to capture the roses on camera, but it's really pretty in real life! And in case you couldn't guess, my cousin is going to have a little baby girl!

 

[aradhana]

wow! love all the looks and pics everyone has posted...
i think i might try this out!

 

[LMD84]

temper tantra looks great on you jen! lovely lip colour indeed! today i used a pigment but it's still a bit of a cheat! i used the named palette for my eyes but then used teal pigment along my lower lash line! so i still used a pigment - just not very well! i have been lazy this week!

 

[Vixstar]

Ok - FOTD from last weekend as I forgot to upload it:

I pulled MAC Blue pigment from my stash, and teamed it up with gold (also, was off at my mum's house, hence scrappy brows, before someone tells me ):



That's Sea Me Shadestick as a base, with MAC Blue pigment over all across the lid, in the crease and above is Bourjois' Brilliance Miroitante in 'Beige Metallique' (possibly my favourite liquid eyeshadow and a fantastic metallic base) - a bit of Vanilla to highlight the browbone too. Top liner is Blacktrack and bottom just eye pencil.



And today, I got Sweet Sage out of the stash...



I used: UDPP, Gold Dusk pigment all over the lid, a thick line of Sweet Sage fluidline, and a thinner line of Gosh Long Lasting Eyeliner Pen in '001 - Green' (this stuff is terrible on its own but great over the lighter fluidlines, need to try it over shadestick too). I wore Barry M Liploss in 10 (smells of toffee!) but forgot to put it on before the pics.



So...that's my face today. How do you look, and have you been out in the glorious sunshine?

 

[LMD84]

ohh you look beautiful in all the pics! i love blue pigment! sadly i do not have that one it makes me sad! and your brows look much nicer than mine! i don't think they look scrappy at all!

 

[Vixstar]

Thank you I only have a sample pot of the blue but always keep my eyes peeled for more as it's down to the last few uses... booo! I'm just glad pigment goes a long way! If I ever get a fullsize I shall let you know

[littlepickle]

Looking gorgeous ladies! I have an OJ of Blue (Rebel Rock release) pigment but it's almost empty, otherwise I'd certainly offer samples It's such a lovely colour.
