I hope you all have a fabulous holiday weekend! Where oh where did summer go???? The weather reports were promising but the sun has given way to gloom---and to think I got up early to enjoy the sunny day that never materialized. I hit the Farmer's Market & put on my face before hand. I'm still obsessed with YSL's Fétiche e/s quint, and paired today's smokey eye with RiRi Nude l/s topped w/YSL's glossy stain # 40. I put Chanel JC blush, Canaille (Golden Orange) which I've come to love.

Since we're entering a new month soon, we need to consider a theme. Any suggestions????

Medgal congrats on PT graduation! Although PT helps you feel better it can be time consuming. At least that's how I feel. I love the look that you recently posted. I think I'm going to try beige peau and Canallie after my daughter's move. Btw, as usually I have nothing to offer regarding next month's theme. Lol. Is it too early to do fall colors? Aradhana, it is great that you have such a positive attitude about your job. I'm sure you have a blessing around the corner. Sage, should I be looking over my shoulders since I snitched about the BN powder? Lol.

^^^Well I've got nothing. Lol. Although I have a bunch of bronzing products that I'd like to use before the summer ends. Maybe I'll incorporate bronzing products as part of my personal use it up campaign.

LOL Meka!!! I've gotten in the habit of contouring w/my bronzers, and I use them daily. I first apply a cream product like MAC's Pro Sculpting cream or Tom Ford's Shade
& Illuminate, and then set that w/my bronzer. I've actually hit pan on one of my Guerlain bronzers.

Hi I'm new to the thread but I like the idea of makeup with a purpose. I would love to join you guys this month. This will help me re-explore my stash. If y'all are still looking for theme I would suggest Burgandy or something from Naked 3 palette

 

[sagehen]

I don't have a good idea for the month either, and I don't want to be a spoiler, but I am sort of not wanting to give in to Fall yet. I want to hold onto Summer for a little longer (even though I was complaining about the hot sweatiness of it all). What do you all think about that?

I am wearing blush today. This is an accomplishment - I just wanted to document it. MAC Salsarose. A little pop of color. eta: I would really also like to know why my foundation has done one of those crazy oxidation things today. I am wearing ELDW in Rich Chestnut, and it has turned RED, like Sandalwood, on me. I even checked the bottle to make sure I was wearing the right thing. Whatevs. That is why I have a little yellow powder in my bag just in case.

Welcome! I'm a relative newbie when it comes to makeup especially eyeshadow. I defer to the more experienced ladies to come up with the monthly themes. I'll have everybody looking like my 5 year old nephew applied their makeup. Lol. I have some burgundy lipstick and eyeshadow and I have the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 palette which is an alleged dupe for the Naked 3 palette. Im down for burgundy.

I had to google salsa rose. That's pretty! Is it no longer available? I read something about it being a Macpro shade that could be ordered. I'm wearing Nars Coeur Battant topped wih Nars Liberté. I thought it looked fine before I left the house but according to the awful mirror in the ladies room at work, I might kinda look like a clown. Unsure if it I look like Sideshow Bob or Homey D. Clown, but a clown nevertheless.

It is a pro shade - available in pan only, but it is available on the website. If you can't find it under blush, it is under "Pro Products". eta: I just checked and saw it there. It is in the powder blush: pro refill pan, and it's waaaay at the bottom of the swatches, for whatever reason. The description is coral, but it leans red, but not Frankly Scarlet red, on me.

Hello & welcome, welcome, welcome Jepooh​. I happen to LOVE burgundy eyeshadow & blush NP. Will definitely add this suggestion for fall.

I'm with you Sage---I don't want to let go and I'm still wearing my light & brights. In fact, I'm going to a party Saturday afternoon & I'm wearing white!!!
The really good news is that "the autumnal equinox brings the fall season to the Northern Hemisphere on: September 22 at 10:29 P.M. EDT". We still have time!!!

Yay for the blush & Wow Sage re:the oxidation thing. I've only had that happen once to me w/a Guerlain foundation---it just turned very dark. I had another one, just a
lighter shade & it stayed true to color. Wish I knew why these things happen.
