Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

Happy belated Birthday, @LinenWhite7!

@HerGreyness, I'm glad the talk went well - no flying chairs or shaved brows, lol. I admire how independent and strong you are. Happy for you that you found such a great guy!

Haven't followed the threads much in the last days. Caught the norovirus from my dad that he brought back from the hospital, now mom has it too. That thing is vicious, lol.

I'm SO sorry sweetie! Hope you are feeling 100% soon... and your mama too! Get lots of rest and water!!

Survived a visit to the CCO!!!!! Only a bb. And a paint pot in "let's skate" prob the least I've even gotten at a CCO. I didn't even get wipes cause I just used the nextexp coupon to ordder the bulk of 100 wipes. Which is a better deal anyway

 

[LinenWhite7]

Thank you ladies for the birthday wishes! It has been a wonderful birthday. Today's face is: Revlon ColorStay foundation in 220 Natural Beige, Physican's Formula ConcealRx in Natural Light, Tarte blush in Fearless, Physician's Formula Bronze Pearl bronzer, Stila BB highlighter, Naked 3 eyes, and NYX Butter Gloss in Cupcake. I will post later with the Love It or Leave It results for Days 3-5.

Day 23: MAC Deeply Adored

I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK! I passed the first time it came out in the Marilyn Collection. I happened to get this after seeing a friend wearing it when Macy's did the relaunch. It may just be my perfect red. Deep, rich, makes my teeth look white, I can't gush enough about this color. MAC needs to make this one permanent. If they did I would grab another one.
AMEN woman!! Deeply Adored IS HG! It's my staple dark red! I honestly don't need to own another dark red as long as I have this! SO glad you were able to snag one 2nd time around!
It's also in that Antonio Lopez lip palette that I'm sure is gonna be all over the CCO's if you were still looking for a BU... should be able to snag it (with 2 other colors) for under $20.

I normally don't wear red lipsticks - they're always too bright and/or too warm - and i love Deeply Adored. It was the first red i found i could wear and not look like a killer clown. I now have a couple more dark blue-reds that are wearable (Rocker and Studded Kiss), but DA is my first and best-loved red.

Day 3 (Saturday 5 April) : MAC Oh, Oh, Oh ("plum bronze with pearlized pigments")
It's an odd and somewhat changeable color. It's sheer, which isn't bad, and has gold shimmer, which i like. But I am not in love because i think it's too orange on me - sure doesn't look plum. I will test it with a different "face". It's going into the MAYBE box.


Stage lights can wash out and flatten a face, so after putting on primer, concealer, and some powder, i did a little contouring. Chanel Ombre Contrast / Sculpting Veil in Notorious ("mauve-taupe") in the hollows of my cheeks and L'Oreal Blushesse Endless Colour Powder Blush in Café Au Lait under my chin and jaw line - it's a matte, very cool, very neutral brown, so it was perfect (i think it may be from the late 1980s...).

Going for warmth on my cheeks i used Bronzer in Soft Sand ("golden bronze with fine gold pearl") as blush - first time i ever wore it, since i was going to throw it out and just keep that lovely Temperature Rising compact - and for highlight Mineralize Skinfinish Duo in Centre of Attention ("pastel peachy pink with fine pink shimmer / 24 carat gold shimmer") - i LOVE it and wear it often.


Then I put Pressed Pigment Summer Honey ("Pastel Coral") on my eyelids and lined my eyes with Kohl Power eye pencil in Raven ("intense black with red pearl"). I wear glasses and i'm usually too tired after a show, so i didn't bother with mascara.

Get well soon, [@]Naynadine[/@] and family!

OOOO lala! Lovin' the hubby love! HeeHee
I have, and have shamefully never used Street Cool. How are you using it? As a base for shadows or by itself? Just curious. I need some inspiration for that one.

I tried that Kat Von D foundation today. Oh my holy Lord this is going back. It's so yellow on me I looked jaundiced. It's amazing that it wasn't like that in the store! I'm seriously wondering if she put a different shade on my face that day than she sold to me. I'll take the HEAT bus to the mall tomorrow and take it back.

I haven't gone out today yet so no lipstick so far. If I do it will be a neutral - I will just be wearing it to go eat.

 

[PixieDancer]

Thanks! I'll give Street Cool a run...

I had a wonderful brunch and some mimosas with Bert and some friends.. and decided to post this pic which I find appropriate for many of us, especially since tomorrow is Monday. For some reason my lippie, as much as I love it really let me down. it was out after the first bite of an eggs benedict.. lol. And to make it worse for me, I left it home and only had some gloss which is ok, but only for some moisture as I don't do gloss very well.

so, my feelings were answered by my friend who sent me the pic which I am sharing with you.. I am grumpy.

I know how you feel../ look. I tried it and ran -- it was cement thick. I am soooo out of that look I can taste it. It's a very heavy coverage foundation. Why would they apply that on you? You are so young!

I just finished MAC Patisserie! First time I've ever completely finished a lip product rather than lost it or tossed it!

I probably won't re-purchase.. I loved the color but don't like that it leaves little sparkles when it wears away lol. Had the same issue with VGV and some of my other Lustres. Moving on to 2/5 on the list to use up which is MAC Peach Blossom! Adore this one and will probably re-purchase but it's almost 2 years old so I want to move it out.

I have 8 B2M items now.. might wait until I have 18 and then get 3 new lippies at once. That way my stash will be lower when new things come in. Thinking about Modesty, Creme Cup, Ravishing or maybe Crosswires.

I pulled out MAC's Blue-Brown pigment yesterday - it's been sitting in my drawer for ages because I have no idea what to do with pigments, but I put it as a sheer wash over my eyelids. OMG. If you have hazel eyes and own this, you HAVE to try this. I can see it becoming my every day eye makeup.

I am really, really tempted by all the great reviews of the new L'Oreal Nude Magique eau de teint foundation floating about, and I honestly think I am going to cave and get it. I haven't really been happy with any foundation since EL discontinued my DW shade, and I think my personal preferences in foundation have changed since then as well. I'm more interested in a light, sheerer coverage foundation these days - more like Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, although I find the Chanel a lot of work because it's a little dark for me.

I have acne and a lot of redness, but the Studio Fix Fluid works well enough without being so awfully heavy. Just wish I could figure out why it ends up looking strange on me after a few hours. Probably need a primer.

 

[User38]

Why don't you try one of the CC creams.. to tone down the redness and then some light msfn? it might give you equal coverage and less weight.

Ravishing has my vote! It's a very versatile shade that wears well across skintones! I think you'll really love that one!

And GREAT job finishing up that lippie!

Strange as in what, exactly?
