Jaymuhlee, I forgot to comment on your weekly round up! All of the colors were lovely on you and that is such an efficient way to do the challenge. I barely scribble down my choices and throw them in a bin so I have easy access each morning.

Thank you! I also have a little bin with everything tossed in! I love that $1 section at Target, they always have so many adorable/useful things. If I hadn't set everything apart though, I'm sure I wouldn't be keeping up with the challenge. Half the fun was planning for me, and if I end up doing little/no makeup, I at least throw on a lipstick!

Frankly Aradhana, I find it awkward taking photos of myself, I can't bring myself to smile---I feel really silly. I use my iPad because it's easier for me to transfer photos
from it to my desk top. The look was nice & summery. I would never have thought to use any of these products were it not for this challenge. BTW, the Dior Fluid
sticks are awful in terms of their performance. The first time I tried one it disappeared within 15 minutes. The colors are gorgeous & very saturated, but worn on their
own the staying power is zip. I use the two that I have as lip glosses. Otherwise, a total disappointment. I think I expected them to be more like YSL's Baby Doll Kiss
& Blush, which I love!

Thank you Pretty----I can't believe you don't have Ablaze!

Your CCO is loaded!!
i'm the same with photos of myself. whether i'm the photographer or someone else is. i usually get people telling me to smile and stuff, but yeah, i find i look pretty goofy when i smile!

i was inspired by your ablaze look the other day, so i wore that lipstick today. i was just going to do the lip/cheek thing, but then after i was finished my makeup i remembered the eyeshadow, so i put a little bit above the crease. then warming trend was in the same palette, so i dusted a little over the lid. i smudged powersurge on the lower lash line and teddy on the outer corner of the lower lash line.

it looked pretty good, but i think ablaze is borderline falling into the green-skin-maker category. i think the ablaze as blush helped me.

For Pink week I wore:
Bite Beauty Bouquet
MAC Lustering
MAC Lovelorn
Chanel Dedicace
MAC Naughty Saute- a real bright pink YAY!!! It was covered in glosses but still.. it was there!!

My baby girl has been sick so I haven't gone out or put on makeup but I think I have maybe 4 corals in total so i'll just wear them all this week. It's funny how i have 1 red, 4 corals, 7-8 nude type shades but I have 60 something pinks and probably 20 berry shades
girlhaha.gif


*these numbers are way probably way off but something in the vicinity LOL I think it will be my fun project for tomorrow. Count how many of each shade I own and see exactly how off i was.
LOL! i have loads of reds and pink/fuschia shades. barely any corals or oranges. do we put purples in the berry category? or do they get their own?

i hope your daughter feels better soon!
i have 2 purples so i put berry as my purple LOL i'm way off with those numbers. i stopped counting lipsticks at 120... i don't want to know

Way to go Pixie!!! Good for you! Ignore the stupid people. that's my philosophy lol. I tried hard to rock the KYY but once I opened the tube and saw the glow of brightness I knew... no way would I wear again. I used a lip brush to swatch it. I barely touched it and I swear it was glowing (haha) I didn't even bother to try it. I rather sell it to someone that won't toss it in a drawer like me. (low buy practical skills kicking in!!) So i opted for MAC Naughty Saute. Still shockingly bright and I did tone it down a bit with gloss but it kept it's glow factor, lol. I did get looks but then again I live in a snobbish upper class town and I get looks no matter what I do. So I have 'fun' with it! YAY for not caring

Way to go YOUUUUU! And damn straight to "YAY for not caring!" I decided long ago to only care about things that truly matter! And judgmental people are NOT worth my thought let alone my feelings! Let 'em look girl... Secretly they are just jealous!!
honestly i don't like NS. too neon for me. yours if you want it just pm me! was gonna back 2 mac it.

thank you. she's doing better. she caught hand mouth foot disease from my son's school :( poor thing. luckily it's not that bad. she has a very mild case (it's a rash) just very contagious.

Starlight I hope that beautiful little girl of yours is feeling better soon!!!

Well from your lipstick tally it appears you really like pink lipstick! I'm afraid to know---all I have to do is look at my inventory document. I log each purchase. To keep
up with my online orders I log them in light blue text. When the items arrive I change the text to black.
thank you so much! She's doing much better. that is way too organized for me LOL I am better off not knowing for sure

Embrace Me made Moxie a tad too bright for my liking, but Cherry looked really nice w it that evening! I find Cherry really useful with all these pink tinged redish colors coming out. I use it a lot... with RiRi Woo, Love Goddess, Sail La Vie, etc.

And you're right!! Nars Madly is just perfect! It's my one go-to neutral blush that I reach for when I don;t know how to balance out a bright lip or eye look... It's fool proof! I'm on my second one and already have hit LOTS of pan! I did get that Barefaced blush from the MAC Nudes & Metallics Collection that's supposed to be a very close dupe, so I may not get another Madly until I go through that one too. Sounds like you have it mastered!!

HeeHee that's kinda my "position" in this small town, so I've learned to embrace it! LOL

WOW!! Those are some good choices! I didn't get NS when it came out... It intimidated me. I'm sure I would wear it now without a second thought! Funny how our tastes change and evolve.

Hope your little girl is feeling better! Poor thing!

Way to go YOUUUUU! And damn straight to "YAY for not caring!" I decided long ago to only care about things that truly matter! And judgmental people are NOT worth my thought let alone my feelings! Let 'em look girl... Secretly they are just jealous!!

HeeHee mostly just generating more gossip... One of my favorite pastimes! LOL

Oh YEAH!! Thanks for the reminder! I gotta wear LAP this week... I LOVE that one!!

Eye- Mac Superwatt from Electric cool shadow collection, Bahama Mama bronzer in the crease , mascara and UD zero eyeliner on the upper lash line.

I love it, it is my go to bronzer, it always seems to work and that's because it's matte so blends in nicely, plus you can build it as well! I will try to take a pic today or do a swatch when get bak home!
