Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

My beautiful women of color - run don't walk to get Coeur Battant. I can't put into words how stunning it is. It appears to fit all shades of our beauty. When I wore it, it stayed on from 6:00 in the morning until I got home from my son's soccer game at 8:30 that night. Not clownish in the least but brightens up your face. I have more blushes than I can ever use on this earth but if I had to pick just one Coeur Battant would be it.

Such pressure...darn enablers!!! I just ordered Coeur Battant blush from NARS.com in spite of saying I'd get it next month.

I ordered a Chanel lipstick & lip pencil today, so I figured what the heck

You need a hobby MissTT!

 

[MissTT]

Girl, this is it!

I know I don't need more blush either, but with Coeur Battant being LE I have to get it. I'm slightly curious about Daydream, too. Someone swatched it and it was more pigmented than I thought. Not sure how it will work for WOC though. My Tom Ford Cheek brush says bring it on so who am I to deny him.

Daydream?

Off I go to check that out too. I'm going to be in so much trouble. I just got Chanel's Accent blush from the holiday collection 1 week ago!!!

ETA: I checked it out and it looks like other pink blushes that I already have---not as unique as CB, but pretty!

 

[MissTT]

Agreed its not that special. I'm ignoring the Chanel blush...

i've also been eyeing daydream. it reminds me of an hd blush from muf that i really like alot in the summers...for exuding glow and what not....

Honybr- do u have any other blushes that are similar to it ? Can't listen to MissTT !!! Haha

I actually don't. It's more intense than Amazon Princess from Wonder Woman. Lasts a lot longer too. I don't own MAC's magenta blush because I finally decided MAC blushes just don't last on me. Even with swatches I've seen of various different blushes in the same color family it's unique to my eyes. It's matte but not flat, it's bright but not over powering. I'm pretty chocolate & on me it's what I imagine what I would like if you could see me blush naturally.

 

[honybr]

Oh & since we're talking blushes has anyone bought the Tarte blush holiday pallete from Sephora? Miss TT have you used any of them on customers? I love Tarte blushes & that deal is unbelievable so I was curious.

Jeez, you guys are good.
Tarte palette? I must check it out. Tarte has a nice palette I got from Ulta. 4 new blushes, 16 shadows and 3 glosses... Tarte seems to know how to do palettes. Forget MAC Holiday.

Really Pretty????

honeybr our store isn't getting the Tarte blush palette, but longevity-wise they are really close to NARS imho. I was really considering the Tarte palette, but NARS is my first love. However since I can't get Orgasm to work on me I may have given myself an opening for Tarte. I don't use them on clients as much as I'd like b/c people are really afraid of the pan colors. Folks around here don't seem into blush that much sadly.

 

[sagehen]

I just want to say...I went to Sephora today and did not succumb to the CB blush demand lol!

Chanel Accent is different and unique and pretty

I've been loving it but from what HonyBR is saying CB could knock it off the top of my list. We'll see. I hope it arrives this week.

Sage. I didn't see CB at Sephora online but I'm glad I ordered it from NARS...thgye don't have the $$$ requirement for free shipping like Sephora. I hate that about Sephora. Oh...I also picked up Train Bleu because I've been loving all things burgundy. I've incorporated it into most of my pink looks lately. Can't seem to get enough of it!

We'll get you next time, sage. *rubshandsgreedily*

Thanks for letting me know. I was in JCP with a small Sephora and while they didn't have the palette they did have the bronzer in the palette. It swatched gorgeous on my skin. However I don't know what the heck to do with bronzer, mostly because I'm already bronze. Lol. It was golden and I fell in love.

Can someone tell me what they do with bronzer? Just as a highlight? I don't contour as I already have pretty high cheekbones and I'm sure I would mess it up anyway. Thanks in advance!

Oh and my pink for today is Venom lipstick from Urban Decay. It's a pinkish purple but I'm counting it. I love these Revolution Lipsticks from UD. Creamy and stays all day.
