I'll post a pic when I get home, sagehen. Snapped some before I left for work with my camera. Here are some quick snaps from my phone. Note: the color was not applied deeply b/c I had a meeting and tbh I don't know if the lipstick really went w/ my outfit. LOL

I just got Mirrored Plum also - I think I will try this combo at lunch - it will make me feel better. Thanks

That makes total sense---to emphasize the eyes and to avoid having them compete with the lips, wear one bold and the other soft. That's why a nude lip works great with a smokey eye look, for example.

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]So, so pretty MissTT. [/FONT]
You were the inspiration for my look today. I paired bronze with purple and loved the result. I used your suggested products but swapped out a few products, adding some of my old [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]favorites.[/FONT]

since purple is the color of the month, I was wondering if any of you ladies who got Heroine lip pencil could give me an idea about a more easily available dupe? NYX Purple Rain pulls pink on me, and Prune and Deep Purple are not quite...it. A little too red. I really miss Grape lip pencil from MAC, so if anyone has any ideas about that I would LOVE. I cannot find Milani lip pencils in my area, and have heard Purple Veil is a good dupe but can't find it online (OOS everywhere - is it dc'd?). Any help would be appreciated. I am going to play with Nabi Dark Fuschia pencil now.

I ordered the Heroine lip pencil to go w/the Heroine lipstick that I purchased during its first release, but it has not yet arrived. I use MAC's Burgundy lip liner w/Heroine lipstick. Perhaps you have Burgundy or a dupe for it that might work for now. I've also used MAC's Magenta & Mahogany with it, should you have either of those.

hello ladies!
been out of the loop a little...
i've been on my phone using specktra the last couple of days, which isn't the easiest with which to keep up with the threads!
i picked up heroine eyeshadow, so maybe i will wear that tomorrow as part of purple challenge. most of my makeup is inaccessible for the moment, which is a bit of a bummer.
but...i'm almost done painting my room! it's mostly a pale grey ('american white') with a feature wall in magenta ('gypsy pink').
medgal - your list of makeup you've pulled out of your stash reminded me of a bunch of items in mine that are going unused. i should absolutely do something similar and pull out all my theme items each month so that it nudges me towards actually remembering to use them!
TT - your purple lips look wonderful! i haven't seen mirrored plum around here...but i have narcissus, so i guess i should be able to combine that with my heroine
for similar effect.

have you thought of using a lighter primer/base? I think you should check out the new wnw fergie primer. It might leave a lighter base and make the shadows pop.

ok ladies, I'm joining the purple challenge. I did a look last week, that I tried to redo and it didn't work out as well. I finally used my hourglass powder and loved it. I looked pretty. Nope not bragging, but it was a very pretty glow. But I need to step it up. I even owe some of you some pms... smh

damn, I'm slow... i just noticed. LMAOi love that you change your text to match the monthly theme!
Thanks for these recs - I will try. I def have the lip pencils you mention, I think I am just mad about not getting Heroine liner. Any ideas for Grape? Because I am soooo planning to use Grape with Heroine until this little nub of a pencil until it runs out.
