Theme Makeup with a Purpose

So, today I'm wearing Tom Ford's Vampire Kiss lipstick which is a pretty cherry-red with a very moisturizing formula.
​I did a neutral eye look using Tom Ford's Golden Mink e/s quad, and Tom Ford's blush in Savage. I'm wearing MAC's
Gold Deposit MSF which I probably haven't touched in > a year. I rather like it BTW.

I want that TF quad along with Burnished Amber which is sadly discontinued! I ordered it from Saks a pre-order and my card expired when it came in and I was on Vacation so when I got back it was sold out! I'm sure Vampire Kiss was a popping red on you! The whole look sounds pretty! Gold Deposit is such pretty MSF!

Thanks Calla. BA is my favorite of all of my TF quads. I think it's worth calling around a few stores---you never know who may have one tucked away. Gold Deposit went really well w/TF Savage blush.

Hot Mama, this is fabulous on you! Nice pic! Definitely a great combination with Vampire Kiss!

Great looks ladies! Medgal, I love the TF red on you.


I ended up not doing my look today. After my workout, and cleaning, I got really tired... But I played around with trying to recreate it. I think it works b/c that young lady is pretty and could probably wear anything. LOL The ohter thing, is I don't have that eyeshadow shade. It's a true yellow, more like MAC Goldenrod to me. ALso, you have to have the right red, nothing to dark, or with too much brown in it was wokring for me, so I decided I'd have to wear a color like Ronnie Red or Love Goddess with it. So, of course, I'm going to B2M for Goldenrod tomorrow. LOL
What colors do you all think they are?

Also, I went through my reds.... WHY do I have all of these reds, I'm not sure I even like Just A bite, Prepare for Pleasure (why do I want to keep calling this Pleasure principle LOL), Ronnie Red, Ruffian Red, and Kanga Rouge? Why? LOL My favorite is still Runaway red...But I'm honestly not a 100% sure about that one, at the moment... and I L O V E D this color. Maybe it's b/c I still had Sun Blonde eyeshadow on.

Le Grand Rouge is very very close to a high end ones as I said, the formula is just awesome for a budget brand but in fact Yves Rocher is not a budget brand any longer. I love le Grand Rouge !

I don't have many bright reds, just RRW and Ronnie Red so I decided to improvise this morning! I used Heaux over RRW liner, BGGG blush and Refresh msf as highlight. :)

Naomi and Dominique inspiring me with their lovely red lip pics! As I've said before Dominique's lipstick stash is fierce, great color today! Naomi, that is a lovely lip combo on you and I'm loving Refresh as a highlight. So tempted to buy it , trying to be good!

It's a really nice MSF and I'm enjoying using it a lot, but I wouldn't say it's anything you just have to have.

I did kind of a full face today.

Face: Shu Uemura base, MAC Mineralize Loose Powder, Bourjois concealer. Used Forever Marilyn to highlight and SMHM as blush.
Eyes: Pale Barley with Nars Malacca in the outer v, smoked out. I got Malacca as a present from a very dear friend who send me some British magazines (that always have awesome goodies included, this one had a Ren cleanser with an additional wash cloth) and the e/s as some kind of pick-me-up because I haven't been quite well lately. So amazing, because Nars isn't available in Germany and I wanted it since it came out. Such a thoughtful gesture - I nearly cried when I opened the package!
I topped it with lots of smudgy black liner and mascara.
Lips: Mac Gesina.
I wanted to wear Viva Glam Riri at first and then I noticed that I was wearing a pink shirt, so I had to alter that plan and go with something that pulls pinky-red on me. I used Boldly Bare liner with a lot of my bright lippies lately and must say that I like it a lot. It just defines the lips without altering the lipstick colour.

Thank you Med! I grew my hair out before the wedding, and now it's long and I don't manage to get my ass to a hairdresser because I don't know what I want to do with it - so it stays long and mostly in ponytails, buns etc. ... though I can relate with you on that forehead thing! This was the best pic I took though it's a bit dark, but in the other ones it looked HUGE!

Maybe I should go with a fringe...


GORGEOUS!!!!!

Yellow is always difficult imo. Most yellows look straight up gold on me, or they lean chartreuse. Did you get Goldenrod? Also, do you have Yves Rocher in the US? Dominique always raves about them. They did some kind of buttercup yellow shadestick thingie in their summer LE. I was too chicken to try it...
girlhaha.gif


I too have so many reds - I think it's because I was looking for the right one for so long and just bought ones that were nearly there. My fave now is Deeply Adored. It's so funny, when I started with MAC every MUA wanted me to try the reds, but I didn't want to because I was so self-conscious whenever I wore something bright on my lips. My lips are pretty full, and I didn't want to draw attention to it. Funny huh? How times change!


Like it! Never tried Yves Rocher lippies. Do they have a scent? Which formula would you recommend?

Your look sounds lovely! Sorry you don't get Nars is Germany, but what a sweet friend to send some as a pick me up! Good friends are the best. Boldly Bare is a such a useful lip liner, I use it all the time same as you with some brights to keep it sharp and of course with all of my lovely nude lipsticks!

I would try that look if I'm not going anywhere because I'd be arrested for impersonating an old clown

I do happen to have MAC's Golden Rod, Goldmine &
Gorgeous Gold. Might play around tomorrow because I'll be in & around the house all day.

Thank you Calla :) In fact " Le Grand Rouge " is the most luxury Yves Rocher lipstick . It is very good, the texture applies easily and it wears quite long. Creamy texture, light scent of rose ( I will Check out though not quite sure about that ). The packaging does look a bit cheap IMO but it is the environmental commitment of the brand in fact. The packaging does not compare to a high end one but pigments do !
