Purple was over before I could catch my breath! I wore MAC Go For It today but I didn't take any photos because it was 90° out and my face melted off before I even got home.
Yesterday I wore MAC Goes and Goes to dinner at my in-laws (lol).



Both are staying because they're both fantastic, perfect, amazing, etc.

This lipstick is gorgeous on you! Love it, makes me want to hunt it down but I'm doing a no buy for July so that will have to wait!

Aw thank you lovely! If you can get ahold of those two shades, get them for sure!

Orange week was super enjoyable. I had just enough lipsticks to make it and the few that I'm keeping are such great shades! Sunday, June 22nd: I wore Rimmel 109. I really like this muted coral-orange but the formula is so drying. I'm on the fence but it's probably on its way out. Monday, June 23rd: I wore Revlon Kiss me Coral. Love this! It stays even though its cap never manages to stay on. Tuesday, June 24th: I wore Maybelline ColorSensational Vivid in Electric Orange and it is out! I've finally come to terms with just not liking the Vivids, which is unfortunate because I have quite a few. My mom will be happy with hand-me-downs though! Wednesday, June 25th: I wore Revlon's Jungle Peach for all of 10 seconds. I don't know how to describe how much it doesn't suit me, or maybe I'm not trying hard enough? This wears how I imagine Riot House would on me. Maybe it's not that bad, but it's definitely not good. I even tried wearing it over WCN and that did me no favors. I'm determined to make peaches work for me but maybe my coloring just isn't cut out for them. I don't think I'll be keeping it and it's making me reconsider Givenchy Le Rouge in 102 Beige Plume which I've had on my wish list for some time...  Thursday, June 26th: I wore my oldest frost lipstick from Ulta in 118, which I actually don't think they even sell anymore. It's melted in the tube but I adore it. It's staying and I definitely need to wear it more! Friday, June 27th: I wore Rimmel 12. Nice and bright but I think there's something about Rimmel lipsticks that doesn't sit well with me... Saturday, June 28th: Originally I planned to wear Bite Beauty Luminous Crème Lipstick in Cin Cin but I'm wearing it in my avatar so I decided to try a brand new lip product a fellow Specktra member was kind enough to send me! Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Blood Orange. I can't even articulate how much I loved this!! I don't normally do backups, but if I did, I'd back this baby up in a heartbeat (it was LE so don't worry, I won't slip up!). It lasted hours and wore so nicely. Apparently MAC's Mangrove is fairly close, so I'll be alright if/when I ever run out. Arm full of swatches:

Wow you are so beautiful! Such a unique beauty! Love the lipstick too!

Love it! Skin is flawless! I'm going to have to borrow some of your looks! I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm assuming July will be patriotic? I think red lips is about as far as I go :lol:

Hey Sailor makeup ( very simple again ) UD Electric palette I used Chaos and Revolt Arcancil waterproof mascara in blue

Ha, I'll let him know someone appreciates his silliness! Blood Orange is my first of the crayons and I still can't get over how nice it is. Clementine also looks fab. The cashmere lip creams were my first introduction to the company, I started with one and now have three. They're great! The rose scent on the DR line is a bit much but I find that I don't mind it or the taste too much because the formula is so nice. I stayed away from Centifolia because of my fear of peaches but maybe it's one I can pull off? It's such a pretty color.


You know, at first I felt like I couldn't figure out exactly what it was but it seems to be lots of little things adding up. I'm not a big fan of the synthetic scent or taste, and they can be quite slippery (almost waxy/greasy?) on me. I guess I should have said I'm not a fan of the whole Color Sensational line because it isn't just the Vivids. As much as I want to love Bit of Berryand the awesome LE Buffs I picked up in the Dare To Go Nude collection, I just feel like I'm trying too hard make them work for me? I really want to love them though!

It was a great week! Wish I had more oranges now. lol

I figured I'd wear a red lippy today for patriotic week. Today's lippy is Relentlessly Red, I have swatched this like every time I've been to the counter or store since it launched last year and just finally grabbed it Saturday when I went to switch out WW blush. I'm also wearing Illamasqua Thrust blush and HG ambient powder in Luminous Light.

Hi there Beautybuyer!

So glad you stopped by and hope you'll join us whenever you can. Thanks for the compliment!
The first week of July is Patriotic, but with any of our themes and challenges, we just want you to have fun using your products. If a theme
is burdensome in that you don't have the colors in your stash of you don't find the colors flattering on you, by all means work with what you have and the
colors that suit your personal preferences. The remainder of July is a Jungle theme which runs the gamut of the color wheel, from bright jewel tones to muted
olive greens and earth tones. This should be fun because so many of our products fall into this category. I'm looking forward to acquiring some looks and ideas
from everyone here. We're also going to focus on both new & unused makeup, and makeup that we've not shown much love in recent times. I'm very excited
about the month of July!!!

Oh yet another fab look Naomi!!!! The name of the lippie rang a bell but when I checked my stash I found that it's one that I don't have.
I love how it pulls a tad pink on you! Very pretty look indeed!!!!!

Thank you very much, Meddy!

I don't know why it took me so long to get it, but I'm really glad that I did!
