I've come out of hibernation....the break was good for me, but I missed you ladies. I did indulge in purple theme for the most part last month.
Meka that last look that you put together sounds really very pretty.

So, what's up for this month?

Just throwing out an idea...let me know what you think and/or your ideas. I was thinking of two feature colors around which to build looks....any shade of green you wish, in deference to St Patricks Day, and Aquamarine, which is the March birthstone. Both give a wide range of makeup possibilities.

I like this idea! And for neutral days, you could always rock the green/aquamarine as a liner! I'm in!!

Thanks lovie!!! We'd love to see you around low-buy if you'd like to stop in!!

Wow. Specktra is behaving a little wonky so I hope this transmits ok. It took me 4 tries just to quote you!
I'm so glad you've joined us again Pixie. I love olive/army green with corals/oranges & pinks. My green eyeshadows have been neglected. I bet we can even wear the color of the the year, Orchid with it too. I love your idea of wearing a green/aquamarine liner with neutrals!!! I hadn't even thought of that---thanks!!!! I'm going to pull all of my products related to this challenge and put them in a basket. I had to refer to my inventory document so I'd know what's available to wear---it's so easy to forget what's actually there. I label every purchase, ​but rifling through makeup, even though organized and easy to get to, still wastes too much time.

I have and will continue to peruse the Low Buy thread. Pix you ladies share really great tips & advice...very supportive group! I haven't posted because I'd feel like a hypocrite. My idea of a low buy for me might not seem so for others. I'm laughing at myself right now because I really am trying to police myself. I didn't purchase zip from the last few MAC collections but I don't deserve an atta-girl because I purchased from other brands. I am being a bit more selective in my purchases and questioning my need for stuff.

So, today I wore the following:

EYES:
UDPP
MAC Painterly PP to lids as a base
Tom Ford Sahara Haze e/s palette:
Olive Green w/shimmer to lid
Deep Olive to crease & lower lid
Pale Olive Green to transition
Pale Champagne to highlight brow
MAC Stares & Speculation gel liner to upper & lower lash-lines
NARS Rue Bonaparte eyeliner to lower waterline


FACE:
Chanel Bronze Universal to prime (Just started using this /recommendation/Debbs--love it. Mattifies even MAC F & B)
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation
P & P Light Boost Highlighter in triangle below eyes, set w/Ben Nye Powder, Banana

MAC Richly Honed Pro Sculpting Cream topped w/Earthshine MSF to contour
MAC Ripe for Love Blush
MAC Definitely Defined EDMSF to high-points
MAC Mystery Powder, Dark to set
MAC Fix + to set

LIPS:
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, L’ Eclatante (Matte Coral) 42


Nails:
Tom Ford Vapor NP (White pearl)

I really liked the way my makeup looked last week. I'm definitely buying the UD foundation at the next UD or Sephora sale. That foundation made my skin look so good that my (male) doctor commented on my skin but he tried to say it was the birth control. Booooo Dr. B. Lol.

This has been the craziest winter....I'm so over it too. I'm ignoring your rave review about the UD foundation for now, as I try to use what I already have first. So
glad that you found one that works for you.

I am so NOT creative and have no idea what we the March theme should be. Maybe something springy? Incorporate the color of your favorite college basketball team(s) for March Madness (NCAA tournament)? Like I said, I'm not creative.



Awwww. I think that's why I came out of hibernation....I missed the positive aspects of the boards. I wish I could say being away saved me money but it didn't

Do you have any suggestions for green or aquamarine eyeshadow? Ideally it would be less than $20.

Meka you don't need to run out to buy green eyeshadow. This thread isn't designed to make you spend money, although that happens sometimes. Wear what's in your stash and have fun sharing your looks with us. That's all that matters. I recall that at one point we were wearing the products that we most wanted to use up. That works too....and if they happen to be the color of your college basketball team (s) that's good too!!!

I know what medgal said, but if you wanted to shop, I have a few suggestions under $20: Wet n Wild Envy ( this is a single e/s, which is being dc'd, but is still available at some places like KMart, WalMart and other places where they carried the singles) Wet n Wild I Dream of Greenie e/s trio (also dc'd, but is back for the month of March at Walgreens) Jordana Splurge NYX old e/s singles, Exotic Green, Hunter Green, Mermaid Green NYX Hot Singles, Enchanted, Zen, Kush LaFemme Green pressed e/s LaFemme Iridescent Green pressed e/s (LOVE) La Femme Golden Jade pressed e/s Ben Nye Pressed e/s in Shamrock, Mossberry, Jade, Peacock MAC Swimming, Humid, Lucky Green UD Bender, Mildew, Kush Stila Jade I ran out of steam before I got to the Inglot suggestions. Sorry. I may build up some steam tomorrow.

Josie...I took a much needed break. I'm sort of being good...skipped the last few MAC collections but amassed a total of 12 TF e/s palettes. Slowing
down now and just trying to select things more carefully.

Pixie had a good idea to add a green/aqua liner to a neutral eye look. I have to try that one.

Well sort of.

It's less because I excluded MAC---that was a sacrifice. MAC is my first love. I haven't purchased any NP for a whole month!
