smokin'!
the illamasqua lipsticks are sooooo pretty. i passed by the counter this evening and was swatching a bunch on my hand. don't worry, i did not make a purchase! lucky for me they had no one working for some silly reason! their loss i'm sure.
medal, how are your PT sessions going, btw?
it's nice when people take notice of what you're wearing, makeup or clothing wise. we put a lot of effort and thought into the little details, so it just feels good when someone else has noticed and appreciated those things too. 
sometimes i'm not sure whether my colleagues even notice my makeup or if it's all in vain. (i know it's not really for them anyway, but you know what i mean...) once in a while, they DO pipe up, and it can be quite comical. like one of my guy colleagues noticed when i wore one of the very shimmery edsfs...i can't recall which once,
possibly glorify? he said i looked metallic in a particular light...but he followed up with a very sincere 'but it looks cool'. LOL. Translation, YOU LOOK GOOD. LOL. I guess he was watching from afar to see the light reflect off you EDSF
the girls do notice, but they aren't big makeup wearers, so we don't usually discuss it at all. i get all my makeup discussions from y'all!
It seems most people here on Specktra are devoid of family and friend who share and/understand our passion for makeup. I was thrilled to have found this community!!
i did NOT see that....
Sorry
this looks amazing. i'm secretly glad you said it was drying, because hopefully that will keep me from running out and buying it!!
you look absolutely adorable. are you sure you're gonna b2m that lipstick? it looks so cute right there!
very nice calla! i love the duo chrome in that lipstick. i was planning to wear it lipstick later this month...i decided to classify it as purple since strangely i have an excessive amount of bright pinks and far less of the bright purples. which is surprising since i feel like purple lipsticks are my makeup vice.
today i wore love goddess lipstick. in the morning i left home with trust in red as the lipliner. but when i reapplied throughout the day, i used beet instead to pull out more pink. on my eyes i wore the pedro quad, and corol on my cheeks. i think tomorrow i might try corol with a tinted moisturizer instead of my armani foundation. i felt like it just looked too formal....
PT is going slowly, but that's the nature of rehabbing from this particular surgery. TBH---it's freaking painful but I have an amazing ortho surgeon who doesn't believe
in pain or martyrdom----I medicate before my sessions. I'm an optimist----In a few months I'll be as good as new. Thanks for asking Aradhana

Medgal, I love the EL illuminating gelées. Where did you buy them?
This is what I wore today:
Korres anti-aging primer
Tarte illuminating eye pen thingy (lol) & Nars creamy concealer in amande to highlight undereye and browbone
MUFE pro finish in 174 applied with damp beauty blender
Mac Sea Me Hear Me blush
Dior amber diamond to highlight cheekbones
Loreal/CoverGirl gel liner to upper eyelid
Dior It mascara (sample--I'm loving this)
Estée Lauder lipstick in Dominant (more berry than pink but definitely bright)
If I wake up with more time in the morning, I'm going to bust out the Chocolate Bar palette for the first time. And wear bright pink lipstick.
Have a good day tomorrow, ladies!
