I did a very neutral eye with eyeliner and neutral cheeks (something like Tarte's Exposed) so the lipstick really pops

I took your advice about pairing Big Bow with Tarte Exposed blush - I love it! I think it would also pair nicely with Oh So Fair BP (which I can't remember the last time I used, and perhaps NYX Angel blush.) I think I'll try a couple of combos this week. But for today, I paired Big Bow & Exposed with... - WnW Fergie highlighter in To Reflect? It's the lightest one - Centre Stage. I've barely used it since I bought it last April at Walgreens #sheepish. To highlight, obvi. - MAC Strada to contour. - Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink as a base - Stila Puppy right in the crease - I rediscovered this one recently; giving my MAC Moleskin a break. - UD Naked3: Buzz on lid with Strange to highlight. - Jordana Fabuliner in Black with a slight wing. And of course, CrimsonQuill157, wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yaay! So happy you liked Big Bow with Tarte's Exposed! I agree about Oh so Fair! I think it'll look lovely with Benefit's Hervana or MAC's Stunner blush too

I'm thinking of giving my Naked 1 palette to my mom. I don't even remember the last time I used it. I was going to depot it and put it in a zpalette. But she might get more use out of it. Anyone give it away and miss it? I guess I could always buy it again, if I really want?

Maybe take a week or so and make yourself use it for that amount of time and then decide.

 

[Maris Crane]

+1 ^^.

I also find searching up some tutorials for a palette on the Youtube that's not getting a lot of love (thebalm nude tude seems to be My Neglected Child) always gets the creative juices flowing.

Great ideas ladies! Thanks!

Crimson, I'm glad to see you are feeling better!!!

I gave my Naked 2 away and I wish I didn't. So, like CrimsonQuill said, I would use it for a week or so and then see if you still don't want it.


My Rebel and the They're Real eyeliner arrived in the mail this morning and so far I'm really excited about them. Rebel is just amazing! It is a very bright colour and I'm not used to wearing such bold colours but it looks fantastic. I even shocked some people today with that colour, especially the female cashier in a supermarket. She couldn't stop staring.

I didn't care, though.
The benefit eyeliner - so far I like it but I've only used it once (obviously). It's a bit dry and I still have to practice putting eyeliner on and I have to find the right type of eyeliner that really suits me (bold eye, cat eye, simple liner, whatever...) but I think I'm gonna like it. The real test will be later that day when I'll go to the gym. Until now, every eyeliner smudged when I worked out. We'll see about this one. This is not supposed to enable anyone! It's just my opinion and I just want to write it down for ladies who - maybe - think of getting the eyeliner. @burghchick I can give you a detailed review as soon as I will have worn it a few times (this is probably a gramatically incorrect sentence, lol).

I am skipping my first collection. I'm feeling really good about it. I've been spending more time going through my collection and finding gems I forgot I had. I have a few things on my buy list but they are fill in products. Kinda proud of myself! :bigstar:

Skipping collections is so empowering! I love indulging from time to time, but saying no to some feels really good also. Best of luck with your low-buy goals!

Thanks Girl! I really want the Anastasia Contour Kit so that will be my only buy until July. Fingers crossed!

AWESOME! That feeling of skipping things and using what you have can be even better than getting new things. Congrats!

In addition to the lipstick challenge I've been trying to incorporate my new lipliners into my stash by using them under a variety of lipsticks.This combination challenge has been working well for me when I bring in new items so they don't get forgotten in a drawer.. So far I'm enjoying Cranberry under colors like Mystical or Plumful, and What Comes Naturally under Dodgy Girl to make it more wearable for me. I'm also loving my metallic glosses from Pedro. I actually got backups of both.. I don't want to get in the backup habit but I couldn't resist with these. I wear them to aerials class a lot! So fun but easy to throw on. I'm really glad I joined that class too. It's a space for me to be physically active and at the same time I can play around with outfits and more dramatic makeup looks since it's partly performance art.

What is aerials class?
