Yeah you are. Then I shouldn't even be talking to you *flips hair over the shoulder* Ok, don't mind me, I just rewatched Heathers. LOL
Anyway, I was thinking I bet brights go great with your eyes and skin tone.

ok ladies i have bookmarked medal's post delineating our weekly schedule and i'm about to program it into my calendar...
i might kick off on the first with embrace me rather than CYY, only because we're supposed to be going for dinner with my boyfriend's sister and in case i can't pull off neon pink, i need a safety net!
oh i didn't post a couple of my looks this past week but there were some nice ones with alluring aquatic items...i should note that fathoms deep looks lovely with imaginary paint pot underneath.
i also did an interesting look yesterday with phone number eye kohl and the teal antonio lopez palette. (i mostly used the two silver/pewter shades on the lid and a mix of the blue/greens in the inner corner). i recently received that palette, and i'm not 100% sure how to use it best. the colours are all lovely but i'm not sure how best to use them together...especially beauty marked...doesn't seem like an obvious choice! if any of you have tried and liked this palette...do tell!

i found SaS and SMHM look the same on me. My SA also tried lorelei and all that glitters on me.. you can see a slight difference but not enough to own both (just my opinion). I don't own either. I just have so many palettes with this similar color in it. Lorelei is very pretty if you don't have anything similar to it. On me it was a golden peach-ish color.nice haul ladies... i got a few things too. I was planning on just 2 lipsticks and 1 EDES but when I went in the store, i caved and bought way more then expected.
i ended up with Aphrodite's Shell, SMHM blush, legedary lure, sea worship and silver sun (my favorite) EDES, mystical, GOTS, Siren Song and enchanted one (haven't opened this one yet) and water dieties lipglass. I'm really enjoying all the stuff. So far my most worn/used are silver sun and siren song. i have a SaS blush on hold as they forgot to give me mine but I haven't had a chance to go get it yet. I agree.. mystical is a very pretty everyday color. so is ss too
enjoy!!
i keep thinking i should try to hunt down SaS and Lorelei, but I'm doing my best to curb those urges! i'm so excited to receive sea worship and silver sun...i think it'll probably be a week before i do, but it'll be nice to stretch the fun out a bit.

i've been sick so not on much lately... (still shopping though!! haha)
My favorite looks so far are:
sea worship paired with vintage coin. I think they were meant to be together. I use vintage coin all over lid and SW in the inner 2/3.. that's it. quick, easy and looks so pretty. A few times i've thrown golden olive pigment in inner corner, SW in middle and VC in outer like a gradient look with all 3. I'm really loving it.
Silver Sun is my favorite single shadow at the moment... I've worn it with SS all over lid and a matte soft brown in the crease. Today i was bored and got funky... I used soft brown in crease, SS on lid and I put the red from the Marc jacobs 'the siren' palette in the outer corner and a little in the outer portion of the crease. loving it. random, yes. so loving it. i will wear this again for sure.
I have not used legendary lure and sadly it's going to go back or be sold. I have 2 other almost identical dupes for it. although LL is more unique as it's EDES I just won't reach for it. Marc Jacobs the siren has a dark teal in it and i can't tell the difference while on. it is also easier to blend as there is no fall out so I didn't even bother to open my LL. it's still BNIB. the look i like with that shade is Silver sun all over lid and and LL (type shade) in outer corner and in crease. ss under lower lashes. its a very pretty daytime smokey eye.
honestly, the marc jacobs palette is my most used palette right now. i've used it at least 4-5 times a week. it's surprisingly really nice and easy to create looks with. I bought it to throw a pop of color in the outer corner to spice up my unused neutral palettes (totally working) but the most used in that palette is the red, orange and yellow.
i put the yellow on inner half of lid, orange on outer half of lid and i use the red in the outer corner and into the crease only about 1/3 of the way in. when you blend out the red it's this most gorgeous subtle pink color. I'm a mom of 2 and as loud as it may sound, it's not. I've worn this look to sporting games, grocery store etc. it's not loud. his colors are deep not bright so us older women can have fun too
of course... eyeliner, mascara and all that too. I've worn siren song, mystical and enchanted one lipsticks quite often. I haven't reached for GOTS which is the one i wanted in first place

Thank you! I think SaS and SMHM look too similar on me. I can't tell the difference with a different one on each cheek. I don't have PM but I'm thinking they are all in the same range. As similar as they are, I always find some excuse to keep them all

PM on left, SMHM on right
i don't have SaS...but I think it's different from both again...
PM and SMHM are similar tonally but not in terms of colour.

sooo...i decided to kick off the brights a little early. i wore lickable creme sheen lipstick (bright blue pink) with trimmed in pink lipliner and clear water gloss. it was a nice way to ease into the brights with a sheerish formula. i'll be more prepared when we really get started!
i tried to do a neutral eye with the trip 5 neutral eyes palette, but i gotta work on that, LOL. the palette contains bisque, say yeah, sable, mineralism and bateau. very pretty shades but...somehow whenever i use it, things kinda look off. not sure why. individually the colours are great. i'm going to need to throw something else into the mix....

is this the one? If so how are you wearing it? I'd probably do something really basic (basic for me b/c I lack skills LOL) and do the pink on the lid and brown in the crease. Like do the two with the sheen/lustre finish on my lid, dark brown in the crease, the other brown as a transition, and the lightest as a highlight...

SMHM looks rosier to me? and PM is more of a brick red. Which I didn't like on me, and since these are the same tonally (exactly what does that mean in terms of color)LOL, it explains why I'm not really feeling SMHM, but I love SAS. It is a nice fleshy pink. Reminds me of Stylishly Me.

I was disappointed in delphic. It is a shade darker than me, and it is leaning red/orange. I don't know why I do not like red toned anything on my cheeks. To me it accents the pigmentation,a nd I sometimes have bouts with rosaeca or it could be that maybe it just clashes with me (do red and yellow/golden tones clash?), or I'm not ready for it b/c my undertones do pull red in the Summer. I don't know. I'll try it with a full face before I rule it out

I agree that Lorelei is not that unique. It's pretty, and creates a natural look, but the clear winner in this collection is Silver Sun.
