Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[PixieDancer]

Ok I missed A LOT on here!

I have but didn't wear Heroine today because I just read this... I need to keep up on this thread better!

So, we are doing purple this month? And a special purple look for the 10th?

I have work to do pulling out some purples! Will you guys forgive me if I wear Heroine on the 10th?!

I am building a Nordstrom wish list right now. I don't want to see it there. I love their bronzers. Perfect for grown women. No sparkle, good pigmentation, lovely packaging that I am not embarrassed to take out in public...so many good things to say about it. I don't know what happened here, but I hope y 'all can tell I was trying to quote Medgal.

Refined Deeper was discontinued, and I don't know why. I feel like it was MAC's only WOC-friendly bronzer. Good depth of color and not too sparkly. Matte Bronze is just OK.

Hi Pix! We're still doing our spring inspired theme. May is Lupus Awareness Month, and May 10 is Put on Purple Day. Although purple is the Lupus awareness
color, we were originally just doing May 10---put on Purple Day. Since May 10 is Saturday and Sage pointed out that she sees more people during the week and
suggested wearing purple all this week, a very valid point-----we all joined in. Thanks for supporting this cause. Perhaps you can get the LBs to join in---hopefully
take their minds off so much sadness. I visit the thread every now & then and leave in tears. The support is tremendous---lots of big hearts and beautiful souls in that
thread---and of course you, the biggest of all, at the helm.

If I'm following you correctly Sage, you love Guerlain's bronzers? I love them so much that I purchased both 07 & 08. The later is very dark for me so I use it
VERY lightly---but it's the quality of the powder that blows my mind. It's just that awesome. Why don't you want to see it on your wish list?

I did it ladies! Wore heroine to a concert tonight... Back in the club.... Yes!

What a sweet thing to say...
LB has turned into an all-purpose support group. Sometimes it's sad, sometimes silly, sometimes serious... whatever any of us need at the time. Such a great group of ladies over there... and HERE! I think Specktra is more than just makeup lovers.... we are feelers and people who care deeply about the things in our lives. I love this place!
I'm all on board with the Purple to support Lupus awareness! I'll notify the LB ladies tomorrow!

I'm sorry I wasn't clear, I was wondering if there was any ingredients in white wines that cause headaches.

Completely missed the purple memo for the whole week. I will do it for the rest of the weekend. *Rubs hands together, while I think of looks* Excited!!

 

[Anneri]

I'm wearing Heroine lip liner, lipstick & lip glass---although I don't find it particularly flattering on me---never did, but trying to just go with it.

Oooo la la Anneri---nice look!!! And the nails makeup for you not having Heroine ten times over---especially since you made your own NP!!!! Very pretty & on theme

I love that through these exchanges we get reminded of products that have fallen by the way side because we forget we have them.

I love you Sage---always good for a chuckle!


The only MAC bronzer that I own is Refined Golden. Right now I'm in LOVE w/Guerlain's Terracotta bronzer in 07

That's sad & troubling to hear Anneri. I think quite a few people wanted it just for the compact.

Thank you Med!

You know, a friend and I joked about the bronzer being crumbly and nearly half of it was already broken - because that's even better if you want it only for the compact!

I didn't get it though. But maybe AA was the collection that got me back on board with Mac - I really like all the things I got a LOT.

@sagehen *huge sigh of relief that I'm back in the club*
Am I missing out on Heroine? I swatched it twice in the store and am convinced that it'll pull mainly magenta on me which I hate. But maybe I should try it on my lips? The only purples I love are Courting Lilac, Flaunting it and the new Revlon Matte Balm in Shameless. I can wear Strong Woman, but I don't love it.
Maybe I'll wear the Revlon today when I've to run errands later. People always stare when I get hubby's things at the laundry with a strong lip on.

 

[aradhana]

Anneri - it's probably worth trying on your lips since the pigmentation underneath can change everything and then you'll see it in context too. Pretty packages - I don't know about the headache causing ingredients but is it something to do with the sulfites? This morning my aim is to get out of the house with flaunting it on...and if I'm lucky one of the shop cook quads. Let's see what happens!

OMG---I totally forgot about the Shop Cook quads

I didn't realize I had so many qualifying products---I could go the month and not repeat a thing.
Not so sure that's a good thing--pathetic really!

Good point Anneri

I'm so glad you found some items you love in AA. I could never completely give up on my first love, MAC. Still haven't found my MAC Mojo
but I'm hopeful and waiting for just the right item to bring me back---it will happen!
