Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Prettypackages]

YAY!!! I'm so glad you like it. You said it perfectly, once it blends with your lips, it's the perfect purple! I can wear it lightly and go w/o liner, or heavier for a vampy look. I know I said I wouldn't back up products. But this one I think I could. ALthough, I still haven't swatched YR or the dark one from Glamourdaze, bouth are BNIB. So maybe I don't need a backup. LOL If RIRIWOO isn't the only lipstick in Rhiana's collex, I am willing to bet she will have a hot purple color.

 

[Medgal07]

Yes, you do---at all cost. Even if that means you buy new E/S for the occasion!

I can't wait! I am ashamed to admit, though, that I bought some new green e/s yesterday. The SA at Sephora was nice enough to let me buy one of the e/s palettes for their emerald Pantone 2013 collex, since they were already in the back. One more week until green eyeshadow! I am going to try to organize myself to know what I will wear the night before so I can post here when it actually happens.

That's great sagehen!!! I'm looking over my green E/S, and nail lacquers too.

i've tried it so far with currant, and with plum. with plum it's a little more true to itself...currant was super nice though for a nice evening out!

These pics are crappy iPhone photos in poor lighting.... but wanted to give you an idea of how it looks....

 

[Medgal07]

Love, love, love the look pretty lady!!! I'm so glad you included the color descriptions in your FOTD...Prettypackages will also be happy about that!! BTW, you don't need to adhere to a theme---that's just a guide to encourage us to use certain products. All you have to do is have fun on this thread! Thank you so much for sharing and including your pics---LOVELY, JUST LOVELY!

looks very pretty!
cream soda is very subtle on you, but i like it! you also reminded me that i have a loose pigment version of smog that i should crack out once in a while!


i was pretty happy with the look i did today, since i pulled out a few items that never see much use from my collection:

face:
GOSH click n conceal in 03 dark
optimistic orange cremeblend blush (orange)
immortal flower powder blush (light peach)
eyes:
tan ray paint (pinky tan w gold shimmer) on lids
vanilla sugar bare minerals eyeshadow (light peach) on upper lids up to brow
cashmere bare minerals eyeshadow (chocolate brown) on lids and lower lash line
black line pearlglide on upper lashline (thicker at outer corners)
coffee bean bare minerals eyeshadow (espresso brown) to set liner and on lower lashline
lips:
boyfriend stealer lipstick

i'm not sure why i don't use the bare minerals more often. it's probably the same reason i don't end up using my other loose pigments much...time!
i was a little concerned about mixing the orange with the bf stealer...but it worked well. it kinda looked like cola teddy bear meets bedroom eyes. if that makes any sense.

Aradana, I am so glad you posted this look, which sounds amazing. In addition to that you mentioned a couple of products that I haven't used in ages---but now I will. Namely Optimistic Orange and Immortal Flower----both great products that went by the wayside for all of the new stuff. Thanks to you, I'm pulling them out again!

This look sounds puuuuurty! I'm reaching for those coral/oranges on my face these days too! Must be the lusting for Spring! Just used Cream Soda blush over Out For Fun Casual Color yesterday!
I REALLY need to try more Bare M's! I did get one of their quads and plan to use it for our March Green Theme! The Rare Find quad. I really don't need to get sucked into another brand, but their shadows are so buttery and pigmented!

I'm on a rolllllll this week! I have made myself grab different products everyday! I have you ladies to thank, because I honestly think of this thread and try to stick to the commitment to use new things and dust off things that we haven't touched in awhile. And that is HARD for me to do! Even today, when I habitually reached for my UD Naked Palette, I did a look I never did before that I really like! It's a smokey eye, but it still worked for my day life/job. And I pulled out my Revlon Matte Pink Pout which I forgot how much I love this lippie! It's a great alternative to the traditional nude lip with the smokey eye! Here it is:

FACE:

The Perfect Cheek blush
Veronica's Blush PM to highlight
Nars Reflecting Powder all over

EYES:

UD Naked Palette:
Naked to warm up crease
Gunmetal on lid
Buck to darken the crease w focus on the outer v
Creep as a liner on my upper lashline
Creep and Buck blended on bottom lashline
Virgin browbone highlight
Virgin Inner tearduct

LIPS:

Dervish lip liner
Revlon Matte 002 Pink Pout lipstick

I love how this thread reminds us all about products in our collections that need a little dusting off! Pixie - I love how you did your eyes, and thank you for reminding me about pink pout! It pulls a lot lighter on me, so I'll probably wait till spring to wear it, but I don't think I've touched it for 3 years! It's time!

i know, i am so close to purchasing one of their blushes...i think it's called aphrodisiac...? i'm also kinda scared of opening the pandora's box....

Yeah... I DEFINITELY did that with their eyeshadows! I just ordered 2 more 10 pan palettes! Thank makes 5 total... FIFTY shadows! I'd be doomed if I wandered into their lip or face products!

And I had forgotten about Pink Pout too! I did that smokey eye and knew I had to go with a neutral lip, and bam... it came to me! I used to use PP all the time for a pinker nude lip!! I feel bad when I forget about things I loved! I seriously used to use PP several times a week! Let us know when you pull it out back out! And thanks for the FOTD love sweetness!

 

[sagehen]

eyes:

Oh you ENABLERS!!! Now you know I'll be checking these products out and I need them like I need a hole in the head---you make them sound so lovely and
appealing---and TEMPTING !
Bad girls---you know I have ZERO willpower.!

 

[aradhana]

Lol...I didn't even realize the pandora's box contained 10 pan palettes...I better stay away! But I have to admit, I really like how the loose eyeshadows apply - looking like natural shadow on the skin. Hmmm, I was just reminded that I have that green/pink duochrome cream shadow...maybe I should use it for one of my march theme looks...

Great idea---pink & green are always lovely!

I was able to visit a store and get my makeup done on Saturday. I didn't have any green, but I'm excited to share the look anyway. Apparently I've been sleeping on MAC blush because no one told be how incredibly gorgeous Style is. Of course I can't get it to look as glowy as the MUA did, but I'm trying. I wonder if it was the magic in his 188 brush? I'll share the look later tonight when I get home and see my list of products. By the way, is Hodgepodge lip liner discontinued? The MUA used it on me, but now I can't find it online anywhere.

Can't wait Miss TT. In the meantime, I located Hodgepodge for you;

MissTT you had better jump on that fast. Hodgepodge was discontinued over a year ago.
