Aww... I have those days sometimes, too!!I wanted real hard to do something patriotic on the 4th, but I just was not feeling wearing red or blue that day. I did 3 full faces that day when getting ready for the day and ended up wiping off every last one of them because I just hated everything for some reason so I totally failed on patriotic week.
We must have lived very similar days!! Part of my skin freak out involved gross, peely skin on and around my nose. I ended up applying moisturizer/primer/foundation several times and wanted to give up. Then I didn't use a good base so my blue shadow went on very teal. I decided to try and save it by using Periwinkle liner from Stila but it flaked all over the place so then I smudged brown eyeshadow over it. My eyes and face were such a mess I decided to skip red lips and try Siren Song finally. Ha! That was also a failure. I ended up topping it with a heavy layer of Revlon's Lilac Pastelle. The only thing I liked on my face that day were my brows. We failed patriotic week together. <3I wanted real hard to do something patriotic on the 4th, but I just was not feeling wearing red or blue that day.

Oh it sounds like you had one heck of a time that day! I hate days like that, it really kinda brings me down. I'm glad I'm not alone though, I was feeling kind of bad about it but it just wasn't happening.We must have lived very similar days!!

Perhaps not patriotic but lovely none the less Aradhana. I love Sparkle Neely Sparkle & My Paradise! I'm convinced that the colors you used are sitting in some jungle,hi ladies!
haven't been doing much of anything on theme this past week...
yesterday i started watching 'the mindy project' on netflix...so in honour of mindy (at least in the few episodes i watched), i wore my paradise blush, sparkle neely sparkle on eyes with black eyeliner of course, and rebel lipstick. i decided the lipstick should have been more purple so i might try again tomorrow with yung rapunxel or pure heroine....but...the blush was a big yes.
no it's not really jungle. maybe more rainforest? big bright parakeets and what not...
oh! and @MandyVanHook i subscribed to your youtube channel!
Sounds lovely Calla!Naomi and Jay, sorry you had such unpleasant makeup experiences during patriotic week!
Aradhana you look sounds lovely and Sparkle Neely Sparkle is a terrific color and you cab never go wrong with Cyber
I've done two jungley looks very neutral for both of them.
Eyes were Milani shadow eyez in Brown Deluxe , Bahama Mama in the crease, black eye liner and Cheeks - Gingerly Blush by Mac and Bahama Mama to warm the face, Lips- were very easy with Mac's Flight of Fancy lip gloss with Milani nude lip liner
Eyes- Mac's painterly paint pot to even out my eye lids, and black liquid liner with heavy winged eyeliner
Cheeks- Tarte Exposed blush, layered with Delphic as a bronzer slash blush with Refined Golden to had a bit more warmth, and Nar's Cocabana liquid illuminizer for highlight and touch of Sonia Kashuk's undetectable cream bronzer all over ( which is suppose to be a dupe for Chanel's universal bronzer) I have both and haven't done an actual test side by side see which last longer and if the colors really match. It is an alternative but I do love that Chanel's universal bronzer so I will continue to use and purchase it but this is a drugstore dupe per se.
My lip was Too Faced Nude lip liner and Revlon just bitten lip balm in Honey with L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Pink Perseverance .
That's nice of you to say, Calla!Thanks Naomi, are you past your makeup slump? I hope so missed your pretty face in the thread!
Oh my goodness, thanks for this - WHY have I not gotten my Style Warriors products out during this challenge? I am on this tonight.Ladies, today is a beautiful sunny day where I am so wishing you all a lovely summer day with loads of sunshine! My goal for today's makeup is going to be to use shades from style warriors. And possibly mix in a nice khaki green sinc the closest was night manoeuvres. Will keep you posted on the results!
That sounds very pretty Calla !Beautybuyer and Mandy , both of you look beautiful and 4th of July perfect! loving these looks for today! Dominique lovely lipstick as always!
Meddy I'm sure you look was fabulous even with just a lipstick change!
My look was kinda on theme yesterday,
Eyes- Clinique chubby stick lot's of latte with UD Dashiki eye shadow as a liner
Cheeks- were Mac's Refined Golden as bronzer with Hourglass ambient powder in Luminous light as a touch of highlight
Loreal LaLaque lip color in Lacquer-ized 412 it's pin instead on red.
You didn't fail as much as I did lol, just not in the mood. You rock red lippies that is why I call you HalleI wanted real hard to do something patriotic on the 4th, but I just was not feeling wearing red or blue that day.

I wasn't really in the mood either, so I didn't wear any red, white or blue that day and kept to my usual black clothes and non colourful face. lolYou didn't fail as much as I did lol, just not in the mood. You rock red lippies that is why I call you Halle! Not mentioning your eyes of course ! I did fail, I was well down ( I don't like summer I must say ).
