It is definitely a hormone thing for me. I am becoming... a woman of... a certain age and things are really getting dicey with acting right on my skin.[COLOR=0000FF]Yay[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]for the blush &[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]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[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] lighter shade & it stayed true to [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]color. Wish I knew why these things happen.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] [/COLOR]hboy:

Sounds nice & natural Sage. Is the foundation behaving?

I see! Been there, done that----IT GETS BETTER!!!
It is better today. I think I will stop setting it with the ELDW powder foundation. I think the powder Rich Chestnut is too red for me. That was supposed to be a full FOTD post, but Specktra is being really wonky. It won't let me edit that post, and it won' t leave me logged in long enough to complete a new one. This is why I have not been participating as much lately. Too frustrating being constantly logged off without knowing.

Sage, thanks for looking up salsa rose for me. I'll pick it up shortly, probably after I get my daughter moved and settled. Medgal, you're right, Coeur Battant is some serious blush, which probably led to yesterday's clown face. I used a duo fiber brush to apply it today and looked less clownish. Lol. The short week has thrown me off and I failed to post this week's makeup: Primer: Korres anti aging primer Foundation: Becca radiant foundation in Sienna (recently purchased 2 for $15 from allcosmeticswholesale) Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in Amande (undereye) and Café (PIH spots) Blush: Nars Coeur Battant and Liberté Highlight: Esteé Lauder Shimmering Sands Eyeliner: Mac Carbon applied wet Mascara: Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Lips: Chanel Catalina lipstick with Chanel Daydream glossimer I'm unsure if the Stila bronzing primer has been clogging the pores on my cheeks or if it my hormones are out of whack since I stopped taking BC pills. But this €|£]¥¥ ain't cute. As soon as one painful pimple goes down another one comes up on the other cheek. As soon as that pimple goes down then another one comes up on the other cheek. It is a conspiracy! At this rate, I might go back to my BC pills. I'll be 90 y/o taking BC pills for my skin

http://www.allcosmeticswholesale.com/2-pcs-becca-radiant-skin-satin-finish-foundation-seinna.html?___SID=U#.VAfgH2t5mSM There are other color options as well.
You know Sienna is my closest match...
So, umm, what color might we be in the "fine loose finishing powder"?Ummhmm. That's what I thought.

Sorry for the delay Sage. I have no clue how I haven't been on the site all day. I bought Nutmeg and think that it is too dark. You're a smidgen lighter and more yellow than me, I think. I think Carob is the next lighter shade so maybe that would work for you? I can't find any good pics of that shade though.
Thanks! I think I might make my first haul from this site soon.

I was hesitant to buy at first because of the mixed reviews. I belong to another forum and the ladies there had had positive experiences with the site so I took the plunge. Happily, I've had no problems. I hope it stays that way. Lol. Thanks for the feedback!

Hopefully it does hun! I've heard the horror stories and I hope no one ever goes through that again!

@Sage - I agree--the site has been extremely wonky but seems a bit better - the post counts were off, editing wasn't working, including the issues that you noted.
Glad you figured out the foundation issue.
@Meka -Like you, I've found better results using a duo fiber brush with super pigmented blush.
@Jepoon, @ Mandy & @ Dolly---Good to see you all here!

Missing you terribly dear Meddy!Hello All. We've been away since Friday, which is why I haven't posted. We had a great time away, but there's no place like home. I always love coming home. Over the past few
days I've done neutral and smokey eye looks with Chanel Poésie & YSL Fétiche palettes. I have to totally laugh at myself---even my makeup is boring at the moment but now I feel
ready to experiment with some looks this week.
