Today, this very afternoon I purchased Givenchy Fuschia Irrésistible.

Honestly I would recommand it and give a A+. Deserves it really.

WOW!!!!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous color. Very pretty on you Dominique!!!

Alrighty this is my first time here so be gentle lol. Pixie suggested this thread to me. So we get a monthly makeup theme correct? Saw that it's bright lippy month.

Hi there Singer82---WELCOME. You'll be just fine here. Yes we're doing bright this month---it's unstructured but there's a little guide that you can follow if you wish:

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'm like a little grumpy toddler with its arms folded onto themselves, pouting, while everyone posts their beautiful faces each day! LOL at me and my plan to stick with weekly round-up posts!

P.S. @Medgal07 I ordered Crystal Baby! I can't wait for it to arrive!!

Yay. I hope you like it Jaymuhlee

 

[Medgal07]

I wore Lady at Play on Monday
Nada on Tuesday
Vegas Volt on Wednesday
Force of Love Thursday


This is Lady at Play

Yuk---is that a squirrel? They are not my friends!!! I should have had that when Anneri and others here
made me buy Burberry Pale (I keep wanting to say pale deacon but that's a cocktail) Barley! But I didn't...it
arrived today!


Burberry, Pale Barley

not looking...

oh and that squirrel definitely doesn't look like anybody's friend!
i use to think they were cute but then i realized how much they terrorize every single person who has a house or a garden!

so you ladies inspired me today to wear VG nicki. it's a good colour for me shade wise, but i really struggle with these shades that contain a lot of white. my best guess what to do is to wear a darker liner. at first i applied it with soar, which is a good match, but on my lips not enough definition. so i went with naomiH's idea to use heroine lipliner...and narcissus lipgloss over the whole thing. maybe i should have tried it with more to love...

yesterday i wore dear diary, and something involving the nude quad from pedro lourenco + mekong from nars. actually really liking that quad for going easily with these brights!

um...why won't spellcheck stop changing my NARS to bars, mars or jars?

anyway i think tomorrow i might try party parrot. or impassioned? i dunno.

[Prettypackages]

wow! that looks beautiful!!!

the guide is a blessing!! i programmed the weeks into my calendar, and have been filling in which lipsticks i've worn and still to wear...

i have been thinking the same lately...maybe next month or the one after we could do nudes as a theme? i'm getting ahead of myself i know...we are only on week two of brights!!

So, how did you like the nude quad from Pedro.
As far as next Month (please don't rush, that means I have to go back to work) LOL, I like that idea. Or maybe the opposite of brights? But it is gonna be J U L Y!!! I don't wanna give up my brights! LOL We'll figure something out.

No makeup for me today, again. But I'm going out to Lunch tomorrow, so I'll figure something out.


I didn't put on makeup, but I'm so proud of my purging/organizing efforts. I'm the type that writes stuff down on random pieces of paper, copy notes/tips from the board, and have to do list for days... I'm finally cutting that stuff down and organizing it in a more functional way. I don't know if it makes a bit of sense in the long haul... but mind feels clearer. Still have some major to/do's to tackle though. UGH... But at least I know what they are, and where the files are. I know that was random, but I just had to say it. LOL Or maybe this is just another way for me to procrastinate. :/ But I honestly can't function unless everything is in order.

Thanks Aradhana. Lady at Play and Ablaze are color dupes, different formula. LAP is mineralize.

Yay! Gald you came over pretty lady!

  [COLOR=FF0066]Oh the addicts would win for sure!!! [/COLOR]:haha:

I'm sure!! They would drown the low-buyers with their makeup stashes! And we would be at their mercy wo a thing to fight back with... you know us low-buyers have NO makeup at all!! HeeHee :huh:

  [COLOR=FF0066] Just Gorgeous Pix!!!![/COLOR]    [COLOR=FF0066]Sounds really very nice Calla[/COLOR]

THANKS boo! xoxo

  [COLOR=FF3366] Thanks Aradhana.  Lady at Play and  Ablaze are color dupes, different formula.  LAP is mineralize.[/COLOR]

Really? I have both! It figures. I always gravitate towards the same darn colors! :thud:

 

[PixieDancer]

My quotes are all wonky... Medgal... you look so glowy, like an Angel... a beautiful makeup Angel!

*drooling*  OMG, they are gorgeous... Please swatch!! So, how did you like the nude quad from Pedro. As far as next Month (please don't rush, that means I have to go back to work) LOL, I like that idea.  Or maybe the opposite of brights?  But it is gonna be J U L Y!!!  I don't wanna give up my brights! LOL We'll figure something out. You do Meddy, you do! Why is your skin so taught and perfect? It's flawless!

The nude quad is great. But...subtle. It's not my usual look, but maybe that's a good thing. When I do neutral eye shadow its usually a version of a smokey or bedroom eye...the quad just gives a barely there, polished look. I will say, the rose cloud shade kicks up a little dust if you use a fluffy brush. But nothing major. Maybe next month theme could be jungle? There are neutral earthy colors AND crazy brights...

Did you want swatches of the E/S palettes & the Burberry single? I'll try to do them Saturday when we're expected to have some decent sunlight.
Thanks Pretty. I really have to work at it, but I'm glad I started really young. I'm currently using and loving some of Dior's skincare line, and I just got Boscia's Konjac
Cleansing Sponge & Detoxifying Black Cleanser that a new Specktrette recommended. I love exfoliating and I do it every night. I don't know if that's too much or not
but an esthetician said it prevents break outs. When I do have an occasional breakout I treat it with Murad's Acne Spot Fast Fix.

Pretty I understand how you feel. When things aren't sorted and organized I feel anxious. When my goods are organized and I can get to them readily I'm more likely
to use them. Makes perfect sense. Now stop dragging your feet and hop to it!
