Does everyone want to do a week of a bright color? I decided to do that just to keep some order to my efforts but we can structure it if you like. I included
examples---some fit more than one category, so you decide and use any brand that you like. Note, you can execute this is any order that you wish or we can all do it
together. I listed almost all MAC because that seems to be our universal language, but as examples only.

June 1 - 7 Bright Pinks (i.e., MAC CYY, Embrace Me, Impassioned, Silly, Pink Pigeon, Quick Sizzle, Show Orchid, VGN / NARS Full Frontal, Schiap)

June 8 - 14 Bright Corals (i.e., MAC Reel Sexy, Razzledazzler, Ablaze, Lady Danger, Vegas Volt, Ravishing, Party Parrot, Force of Love, Toxic Tale, Flamingo)

June 15 - 21 Bright Reds (i.e., MAC Absolute Power, Charmed I'm Sure, Deeply Adored, Just A Bite, MAC Redd, RiRi Woo, Ronnie Red, VGG I,)

June 22 - 28 Bright Oranges (i.e., MAC WTC, SLN, Goes & Goes, Fashion Nomad, Sail La Vie, Eden Rouge, Morange, Neon Orange, T & T, Deeply Adored)

June 29 - 30 Bright Purples* ( i.e., MAC Heroine, Feel My Pulse, Dish It Up, Flat Out Fabulous, Goes & Goes, Outrageously Fun)

* I thought 2 days of purple would be enough since we just did purple this month

I love Lisa Eldrige's videos. I adopted her technique for applying red lipstick through one of her vids. I love a neutral eye w/a bright lip but I also like the tonal look w/a corresponding lip and cheek color.

I love this idea!

 

[Medgal07]

Yes! great idea, and I'm glad purple is last, I'm finishing out the Month wearing purple, except for the other day. ;-) I'm excited... see... tell me what to wear, I can play along. LOL

LOL Pretty. I was going to exclude purple, but for the nice bright ones that we could wear if we wanted to those last 2 days of the month.

PP - I will post it...I might have to do it from home later today...

Yay Aradhana. I had to look at my inventory document to pick colors. It's too daunting to do it on a daily basis & try to remember what I wore everyday. I'll be throwing in
other brands too---especially several new lippies that I've recently purchased.

 

[Medgal07]

I love this idea!

Ahoy there Naomi. Please join us and post some of the looks that you create.

This sounds like a fun idea!

Brand new to this thread thanks to Medgal07's challenge. Are you guys going to be posting photos here along with the Name that Lippie thread, or just listing what products you've worn? I've cross-posted this, sorry for the redundancy!

Hi there Jaymuhlee. Photos are not required---it depends on individual comfort level, but we do enjoy looking at pics, and we like sharing the details of the makeup looks
that we come up with, along with the products we use. It's fun to know what everyone's using and we often learn of amazing products in the process. It also reminds us
of products that we own, but haven't used in a long time. Feel free to post here too!!!

Hello ladies! I've given up on the AA thread - it moves way to fast. I'm like 4000 posts behind. But I really love the things I got - a bit more than I expected, but they're so versatile for everyday MU! I got Mystical, SMHM, Soul Serenade and Silver Sun and Legendary Lure. My fave look is Pale Barly e/s (Burberry) with either Sould Serenade or Legendary Lure in the crease. The blush is surprisingly flattering on my pale self. I freely admit that I got Mystical mainly because of the packaging. Then I saw Karen do a look with it, she used Red l/l underneath Mystical, and I fell in love with it. Silver Sun is great on its own.

@meka I hope your skin feels better now! I know I shouldn't have, but I actually laughed out loud. I was on the train when I read it, and people looked very strangely at me. I haven't ever used such strong peels. Maybe I should, my skincare right now is moisturizer and either a serum with Hyalurone or Vit C in it. I think I should introduce some AHA or BHA and Retinol into my skincare, but I'm such a chicken - my skin is very sensitive, and it's such a pain to try new products.

Also, I've now extra motivation to use my stash a lot more than I do now - hubby and I finally booked our honeymoon! We'll go to San Francisco and Hawaii in October, and until then I'll be on a super low-buy! (I hope!)

Med!

How's the arm/shoulder?

CONGRATS on the honeymoon girl! Have a blast!! We want details!

 

[Medgal07]

What did you end up getting Med?

And I DEFINITELY do this..., and I'm on the orange/coral kick right now as well! It must be like women who hang around each other falling into the same menstrual cycle... Specktra has us wanting lemming the smae color families! LOL

I LOVE LD!! Thanks sweetie! PN has been on my short list for awhile too.... I need to get that one! I bet you look so pretty wearing it!

UGH... You are tempting me w this palette! Noooooooo! LOL Your orange looks sounded lovely!

CONGRATS on the honeymoon girl! Have a blast!! We want details!

I got BB Deconstructed Rose Lipstick, Centifolia (Muted Peach) and Matte Cream Lip Crayon, Clementine (Citrus Orange). Both are gorgeous colors but the faux
rose scent is initially off-putting. The lip crayon has a citrus scent which I find less offensive. The scents dissipate quickly but I don't think I'll be exploring more of
these unless there's a color that I just can't live without. I also ordered Tom Ford's Sweet Spot----orange coral. Again w/the orange obsession!!!

​ Well lady you just look good in any color and that's a fact!!!!

So glad you'll be joining us for JUNE BRIGHT LIPS!!!



Seriously Pix---I have not been this obsessed with or excited about an e/s palette as I am with Dior's Sundeck. It's just that amazing, IMHO. It's hard to describe the
look that it creates---it just completely surprised me, and I nearly passed on it because it looked a tad like one of my TF palettes. I'm wearing it again today!
I can't help myself!

Joining the themed lipstick challenge. Thanks Medgal, these challenges are a great way to really use your stash and not fall into a rut of wearing the same thing over and over again! Still on my 2nd 30 day no repeat challenge except for the time I was on vacation.

 

[NaomiH]

Ahoy there Naomi. Please join us and post some of the looks that you create.

Will do madame!

Well, I started it! *hmph* Just being silly. That is pretty cool that we are on the same page. Your analogy is perfect! LOL

LOL, I wore my Toying Around lipstick for the first time today (outside the house anyway) and I loved it. Nothing quite like a beautiful coral! Morange has been speaking to me more lately, too.

It's just about brights.
But I have not all colours required, far from it in fact. So I don't know if I can join in or not
Shall we swatch our lippies ?

I don't think you have to have the colours mentioned, I think Medgal just put them there as a bit of an example. I don't have too many of certain colours either so I'm going to have a few repeaters and things.

Thank you then I will do my best. I have some bright lippies ( I swatched some in HerGreyness thread ) It will work then
