Thanks for sharing them, all of you!

I did two orange looks last week - the first was Faux Gold MES paired with Sari d'Eau Rouge Coco, the second was the usual PB/Malacca combo with Givenchy Bucolic Poppy. I don't remember the blushes I wore with those looks, sorry! I used Faux Gold because it was on the purge pile - I looked through my stash to weed out some things I haven't worn in ages, and this was on it. I justed wanted to check if I'm still kinda 'meh' on it, wore it and loved it. Even hubby complimented me on my EOTD! That's quite rare, so back into the stash it went!

Strangely, the same happened yesterday with Universal Appeal MES. Haven't worn it in ages, I loved it, hubby loved it, back into the stash! I've some strange bump on my upper lip (no inflammation, doesn't hurt, but there's just this bump with drives me crazy!) so I'm only wearing some old lipglass (2N) that's on its last dregs anyway and figured that at least my EOTD were purple! I smoked UA out with Espresso and wore Burberry Cameo blush (one of my faves!).

Today I'm wearing Unsurpassable MES with S&TO which are really similar on my skintone. So, as a look it's a bit of a fail, but at least I've finally found something that's going to the purge pile! Hah! So, it's blue on the eyes today, Sweet Samba on my cheeks and again 2N on my lips. Nearly blue/red/white! (Well, it's blue, pink, nude, but it counts in my head.)

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. :)
Beautiful as always Halle ;) what a gorgeous lippie ! !

Thank you, Anneri! Those sound like really lovely looks you had there!

Yay! Anneri's home

Thanks for the compliment. Isn't it funny how we can love em & leave em, but once we try them again it's a love affair anew---I'm referring to our old makeup products. When the Hubs notices, all bets are off! You're totally on theme---you can wear the colors in any iteration that you want. Your nail polish and clothing count too! The sky is the limit!!!

Catching up, yesterday I wore Violet Intrigue Maybelline Color vivids LE last year.

Today I wore this Rimmel Gloss stick in the Redder the Better with Talk that Talk lip liner, Eyes were the naked pigment by Mac and Milani shadow eyes crayon in Aquatic Style for my blue
Cheeks - Bareness blush by MAC and MAC MSF bronzer from the Pink Power compact from Wonder Woman. I tried to take pics but the lip kept reading orange instead on red so maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.

Sounds lovely Anneri! I'm sure you looked fabulous. I love when you dig in your stash and you make something work, it ends up surpassing your expectations.

Calla, I couldn't agree with you more. More often than not I find myself reading what someone else is
wearing and become reminded of how awesome that product is. Then I have that happy little reunion.
It's just so fun rediscovering my stash!!!

Today I wore a few items from the MAC Hey Sailor collection. I wore Red Racer lipstick, Throw Me a Line lip pencil and Send Me Sailing lip glass. My eye look was neutral golds---Chanel's IDO cream e/s in Mirage, described as bronze, but it's a gorgeous gold on my lids; MAC's Tempting to crease & transition area; Dior's Nude Shimmer Powder, Golden Shimmer to my brow bones & high facial planes and MAC's Frankly Scarlet blush.

LoL medgal - at first i hadn't read the last bit of your post, and i was wondering about the labels...i thought maybe you had some testers or samples of that stuff!!

i think labelling would help with my illamasqua products, especially the lip glosses - the product names rub off excessively fast, and i've often had to refer to the illamasqua website and blogger swatches too determine what lipgloss i am holding in my hand!!!

i wore some hey sailor shades as well for our red white blue theme - though i did eyeshadows...i used barefoot on the lid, and nautical navy as a liner. for blush i used stark naked (raspberry pink) and enough said (apricot gold) together. no time for lipstick though....

What a good idea---really! No kidding--that works. I love a tan or beige e/s on the lid (most recently Burberry's Pale Barley), orange in the transition area and
something like Soft brown to blend...the orange just seemingly peeps out. Put a little orange blush on and voila!!!!
