Haven't heard from anyone else yet. Perhaps when everyone gets back into a 'post storm routine' we can focus on the monthly challenge.I like the favorite look of the week ideaThat way we can do it for the whole month but I'd like to hear everyone else's thoughts
Hello Medgal07! Sorry for the radio silence but I'm back!!! I guess we were all caught up in the election hubbub but I'm ready girl! I'm game whichever way you decide to go. And yes, my goal is to use up some of my product as well. Prettypackages I visit the Pantone site often and saw this and Fiber and I have actually matched up some of the colors on the site to items in our combined collections. Maybe we could look at the chart and each put a look together and post. Let me know ma'am! Btw...the picture is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!Okay, presstoblend & prettypackages...let's do this! Glammygirl we don't want you to be left out so why not participate using colors currently appropriate for you region? Since part of the goal is to help us to use up our products (at least that was my personal intent) perhaps we should be more flexible. This should be fun and not burdensome. Individually, we can use the same foundation or paintpot, or even eyeshadow for that matter. Whatever works for you, within the broad and general theme of the week or two weeks. It's our project so we can tweak it any way you want. I don't know if you want to post what you wear on a daily basis? What about selecting one favorite of the week and share that particular one. Then others can try that look, if so inclined. Should we go Monday to Monday for a two week period or an entire month? I'll give folks a chance to weigh in and then I'll start a new thread.
Speaking of autumn & trees and fall colors, I took this photo of our Japanese Maple today. I happened to look out and the color was so vibrant that I snapped a photo. It reminded me of Hidden Treasure blush, which is what I'm wearing today.
Glammy girl that works as well. I'm ready whenever you are!I like the favorite look of the week ideaThat way we can do it for the whole month but I'd like to hear everyone else's thoughts
Prettypackages can you post or private message the article to me please? Thank you!A new theme a week? What about every two weeks, to give us late comers time to catch up. I don't know why I started thinking of more ideas towards the end of this challenge. Oh yeah, work drama and etc...
I have another idea after we do our Autumn theme. After seeing the Spring 13 Pantone colors, which are going to be beautiful for us WOC, lets have a Month were we do the Pantone color scheme for the season.
Ok, I just looked up the Pantone Fall 2012 scheme and it is similiar to an Autumn theme, but the Autumn colors I was thinking of are richer darker/ like the color of leaves when they turn. My mother has a tree outside of her house that turns the most beautiful shade of burgundy red.
Another idea is pin up girl looks. maybe we'll do that for a week, that might get boring.
I was reading a fashion web magazine, and glamorous goth is a theme this year. that might be an idea. I'll post the article later. B/c it is not your Marilyn Manson goth.
We can have a use up your oldest product theme.
No problem presstoblend. I'll start the thread within a day or so. I hope several people will participate. I think it can be a fun way to share various makeup looks, while focusing on our individual products that we'd like to use up. That was my original intent. I had started some time ago and now have several empties to B2M next week. We can have a theme or color scheme of the month. If people share their favorite look for a given week instead of a daily look it should seem less labor intensive. We want this to be fun and not feel like a chore. Those who wish to post photos can do so, but simply listing the products used is fine for those of us who are too shy to post a pic. I think I'll call the thread 'Theme Makeup with a Purpose' or 'Purposeful Theme Makeup'
YES! This is the color I was referring too!
I agree, I want to use up my products before they go to waste. Plus I might have to go on a forced no buy now.No problem presstoblend. I'll start the thread within a day or so.

Love our lil family going on here
So sorry about your Aunt. That's a sweet way to honor her. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family!
Thanks Fiberluver!! I've never visited that, so I'll check it out to make sure we're not duplicating effort or stepping on toes.
A theme would encourage us to target certain colors to use from our stash. In so doing, we would use product faster. So for the remainder of November the theme would be 'FALL.' Well, fall encompasses many colors and you get to use the colors of choice from your stash. The parameters are loose & flexible because this should be fun, not restrictive. Also, you would decide the adjunctive products to use for the month that you need/want to use up. For example, the only paint pot that I'm currently using is Groundwork; the only foundation that I'm using is MAC Face & Body. I should be finished both by next week & I'll be B2Ming them along with several other empties. I will not replace those items, but moving on to a different paint pot and foundation that I already have.
YAY. Shall we start on Monday? I'll initiate the thread by Saturday or Sunday.
and in the meantime during the week we can just chat about products we using, how far we are with trying to use up product etc etc...That's a great explanation. I just didn't know what our first theme was going to be. I suggested a fall theme previously and saw other suggestions as well, so I was confused which one we were going to do. Fall sounds good to me and starting on Monday too.
Yes, and yes glammy girl!Ok so if we start on Monday, does that mean we post our favourite look of the week the following Monday?and in the meantime during the week we can just chat about products we using, how far we are with trying to use up product etc etc...
