Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[sagehen]

Hey guys! ompom: It's been forever since I've been on the forum :shock: Had too much happening and no time for anything, story of our lives right? Have no idea what's happening with current collections, so out of it but I'm in the process of catching up here and on Temptalia lol. Hope you guys are all well! See you guys in the threads! Btw, what's the theme for April?

Hey glammy welcome back - April is shop your stash and spring shades, right ladies? Someone please correct me if I have been doing it wrong all month lol! I am wearing green eyeshadow in honor of Earth Day.

Thus far, I've been shopping my stash (and sephora's stash and Nordstrom's stash) and using lipstick to incorporate spring colors. This week, I'm wearing: Korres anti-aging primer Mac prolong wear in NW50 (this is a sample) Nars creamy concealer in amande (to brighten under eye area and under brow to hide these raggedy brows) Anastasia brow wiz in ebony KGD setting powder in t-zone Nyx cream blush in tickled Nyx powder blush in cinnamon (applied on top of tickled) Max superb EDSF to highlight bridge of nose and cheekbones) Estée Lauder lipstick in dominant (this has been my go to lip) Nyx cream blush in tickled+Nyx powder blush in cinnamon+Mac superb highlighter=Nars cream blush in cactus flower. I love that blush and am glad that I discovered this combo because cactus flower/Nyx& Mac combo give the perfect spring look,

Medgal!! We need you to check in and let us know you're doing ok! We miss you and hope you're healing up nicely. We need that arm back in action for these April looks!

Pixie! I had a wee set back but I'm doing better and I'm on the mend---thank you so much.
OMG---I'm dreading my first attempt at makeup w/my left hand

It will not be pretty. I'm laughing already!

Just poking my head in while my newly turned four year old and seven month of boy are sleeping. Motherhood is no joke! LOL. A blessed and speedy recovery to you Medgal!

FORCROFLMAO.....so you were part of that posse the cleaned out Sephora? I'm right there with you. I had both a PRE OP Haul & a POST OP Haul. The
Post op haul items are still arriving----one-three boxes/day. Well hubs is home scratching his head that all of these packages are seemingly coming out of no where.

The look sounds really pretty---that Cactus Flower blush is gorgeous---it looks pink-coral in pics & I'll bet it's beautiful on you!

Yay! Glammy how are you? So, so nice to see you. Get caught up and come back and share some looks with us!!!

[@]Medgal07[/@], I'm so glad that you're on the mend! I have a feeling that your left handed looks will look better than my normal, day-to-day look. What sort of goodies did you buy? I might go to Saks/Nordstrom to try the joli teint...because I need another foundation.

 

[PrettyGirlDoc]

Anyone check out the Kat Von D Monarch palette. All warm tones. It's worth a look see. The chrysalis palette has all cool tones

NO WAY-----and don't expect me to post any pics wearing makeup that's applied w/my left hand

Great haul! Absolutely no judgments coming from over here. I did quite a bit of damage myself. Just picked up three more Sephora boxes today and there's one more on its way.

Scandal...scandal... No judgement here. I got a little excited over the Guerlain Terracotta purchase! I am a little afraid I might adopt the concept of the "YOLO Buy" in my own life... I will keep y'all posted lol.

Inquiring minds wanna know Sage!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh Lord...I looked. The palette is lovely. Not enabling, just sharing

Kat Von D Monarch palette

 

[Prettypackages]

MG, glad to see you doing well...

Love that haul...

Sage, I was searching through some old threads and saw a post by you in retromattes saying you hadn't worn Hot chocolate yet.... have you tried this yet???? LOL

OMG yes I have. I love it. It is my new go-to with smoky eyes (for now). It is the most MLBB shade I have ever had. I like it more than the N collection (because those were lustres anyway). I am so glad the SA who sold it to me held two and convinced me that I needed a BU. Writing this has made me think this should be a purse lipstick, carried around for any emergency lip-fixing time.
