Theme Makeup with a Purpose

Dominique on her lipstick games as usual! Jaymuhlee nice weekly round up , all of those lipsticks looked so pretty on you!

Nice choices Medgal, trying to embrace red week, so yesterday I wore Theodora lip crayon from UD OZ palette in Theodora ! It's a nice rich glossy red! Not sure about today;s red lip.

 

[NaomiH]

It is a lovely colour, Naomi and it goes well with... blue !

Thanks Dominique!

@Dominique33 I love all your lippy swatches!

@Jaymuhlee you look beautiful in your pics and those swatches are very helpful!

@Anneri You look fabulous

@Starlight77 Great lippy pics!

@Medgal07 I bet you looked gorgeous in your looks you posted!!

 

[Calla88]

Naomi, some how I missed you pic , I like that color on you, I feel like you can wear any shade of lipstick . Waiting to see what red you where this week, and Dominique because you both past daily pics and I really appreciate it!

Starlight, nice list of corals!

I wore zero makeup all weekend because I was just not in the mood, but I did get motivated enough to slap some on this morning! I did my usual foundation and mascara, highlighted with the highlighter side of the Refresh MSF and used the non highlighter side to set my foundation. I also used Delphic bronzer as a blush and Cranberry lip liner with Out for Passion Huggable over top.
Don't mind my hair either, I put a bandana over top so my bun wouldn't get messed up driving into work this morning since I have to have the windows down due to my ac crapping out.

Thank you kindly, Calla! I do have a hard time using really yellow based lippies.

[COLOR=0000FF] [/COLOR] [COLOR=FF3366] Both are gorgeous Dominique.  How do you like Pandore?  The pigmentation is crazy good but the staying power[/COLOR] [COLOR=FF3366]   is non-existent.  I'm using Pandore and the one other Dior Fluid Stick like lip glosses.  I think I wore Pandore over Lady At Play---loved it,[/COLOR] [COLOR=FF3366]   but it's really awful on its own.[/COLOR]

Pandore is great when just applied ( like on the picture) but it does not wear long at all, I use it quite often though, it is bright and so wearable. Layered to a max it wears longer. Using it as a gloss is a good option, a layered gloss in fact.

[COLOR=FF3366]   I don't either Pretty---we'll have to buy something else to console ourselves. :crybaby:  I've already started---a few[/COLOR] [COLOR=FF3366]  items from the Chanel fall [/COLOR][COLOR=FF3366]collection.[/COLOR] [COLOR=FF3366]   :haha:  I'm starting to feel a little bit bette[/COLOR]r   [COLOR=FF3366]Dominique you select the absolute prettiest colors ever!!!  Love it!!![/COLOR]

The fact is that I am a lipstick woman lol I want and need more, this one is from the 2013 collection, Bourjois has pretty lippies. ( and not pricey 12-15€ ). I love the name Peach on the Beach lol Thank you

Love it! The little lip combo is fab on you! Love the bandana too imo makes the entire look come together. Weird how hair and accessories on the head can add and enhance! You look beautiful! Oh and your skin looks radiant! Sucks your ac crapped out :support:

 

[Dominique33]

So happy that you love PB! *happydance* Right now I'm rereading the whole Dresden file series because a new book just came out and I didn't remember the old ones well. I'm also reading The Joys and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton, a great contemporary philosopher. I love his prose! And third there's The Victorian City - Life in Dickens' London. I tend to read too many books at once! Eek! Yesterday I wore Hibiscus with a very simple eye (basically just Liner and mascara) and Have a lovely Day blush. Today it's the simple eye again with Clinique peach Pop and TF True Coral!

Just beautiful Anneri. Einfach toll !

Sucks your ac crapped out

Thanks Roomie! I tried to smile and not look so bitchy, but I just couldn't muster it without it looking really awkward this morning. lol. I took the bandana off before getting out of the car, but I totally agree on how much a difference even the littlest accessory can make!

Hey thanks for telling me what to do with Refresh. LOL. I was going to give it away b/c the pink highlighter part is almost the same as the pink in the EDSF Shape the Future... Nice look as always !



Jay, loved the lippies, I want to check a few out.

I have the Givenchy Bolero color... it is pretty, but to me, doesn't stand out the way the one Dominique has. But I'd still recommend it. It is the grown up version of MAC hibiscus on me. Of course, it will depend on your lips. Toying around is pulling orange on me, and not coral.


I finally played on Saturday and Sunday.
Eyes: Lorelei with an orange in the crease, and Handwriteen to darken the outer corner. Black liner and mascara.
Concealer: Laura Mercier Secret Concealer 5 set with Mac P&P Neutralize Loose.
Cheeks: MAC EDB Haute Attitude... I'm so sad MAC hasn't brought this back. I know I'm about to hit pan soon.
lips: So I started out with MAC Cremesheen Gloss Kiss, Kiss, but it wasn't bright enough and then put on Star Quality. Later that evening I wore Toying around. it's pulling orange on me, not happy. I want Coral.
face: Nars Caramel concealer where needed and Lancome Teinte Idole Ultra 24H in 450 Suede N. Set with MAC P&P Recharge Loose

Sunday
I was going to the PR Fest and a few more BBQ's so I kept it light
Eyes: Lorelei with Espresso in crease. Lightly lined with black liner and only one coat of mascara.
Concealer: Same
Cheeks: Same
Lips: Star quality, and that evening I switched to MAC Hibiscus (which I L O V E D) until this year with Mangrove and Givenchy 304.
Face: Nars Caramel concealer were needed and set with P&P recharge Loose.

One of these days, I'll get some pics uploaded.

Today, I can't figure out what red to use.
I love this challenge though. Everytime I don't "feel" like putting on makeup, I excited to try a new color in my stash, and I go put on my face ;-)

 

[NaomiH]

Personally, I think that we should plan a field trip to Paris to buy the Givenchy lipstick. And we could just show up at Dominique's doorstep with sleeping bags. Lol. I'll use any excuse to get back to France.

Agreed!

 

[NaomiH]

ohhhh, what did you get from the Chanel fall collex... I haven't been keeping up with that one.

Beautiful! I am thisclose to buying TF True Coral...
Very Pretty as always!


Oh your daughter is F U N N Y! LOL

I'm ready!
Hey thanks for telling me what to do with Refresh. LOL. I was going to give it away b/c the pink highlighter part is almost the same as the pink in the EDSF Shape the Future... Nice look as always !

Thank you! The non highlighter side is pretty darn identical to my skin tone so I've been able to use it like that luckily. lol That sounds like a lovely look you had!

 

[Medgal07]

Beautiful Dominique! I selected a Dior for today too. I'm wearing Dior MAY from the Transat collex. Love the color, love the formula

 

[Medgal07]

Dominique has the best lippies loving all of them, thanks for your help with Givenchy lipstick! Medgal so happy you decided to get, Pale Barley, it is the perfect eyeshadow for easy everyday looks! LOVE IT! Anneri a job well done ! I also wore Rio this week!

The last two days of the coral week , I wore Mac's Force of Love and Revlon lip balm Matte 235 in Mischievous! I really love the Revlon lip balms .

This week will be interesting because I struggle with a true red lip. It's either a orangey red , pinky red or more rarely a neutral tone red which can be hard to find for me. So many love Ruby & Riri Woo neither did anything for me or Chanel No 5. So i will take it day by day.

I smell a conspiracy here Calla---between you and Anneri!!! Today was the first day that I didn't wear it---and that took a conscious effort!!!

 

[Medgal07]

So, today I'm wearing Dior's May Day lipstick from the summer 2014 Transatlantic collection, w/ MAC's Trust in Red l/l
​I did an eye look using Chanel's Illusion D' Ombre in Mirage # 95 on the lids and the balance of the look w/MAC's Her Cocoa quad.
I'm wearing Bad Girl Gone Good blush & EL's highlighter gelee in Heat Wave. I'm wearing Dior's Captain nail polish from that
same collection.
