Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

Missing you terribly dear Meddy!
Hopefully all is well!

Thank you Dolly!!! I have no complaints. Things are settling down, so I should be around a bit more. I hope all is well w/you too.

All of my products from them have been legit so far, too, thankfully!

Let's keep our fingers crossed! thanks @Dolly Snow!

 

[meka72]

Glad you're back Medgal!

Hello & thank you Lady Meka. I'm having trouble letting go of summer. Still working the neutral eyes and bright lips!!!
A few months ago I was troubled by an unusual outbreak/skin eruption on one side of my face. Someone recommended
Boscia Konjac Cleansing sponge & OMG----it cleared my face within a few days. I loved that sponge so much that ordered
the Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser. If anyone is having any such skin issues I highly recommend both products. My skin has
never looked better!!!

Umm, if you say so....I am saying this because your skin is already flawless. I can't even imagine something improving it. This is said in love and just a smidge of petty jealousy. But just a smidge, because I was brought up better. I am clinging to the neutral eye (and winged liner, just because someone on another board I frequent says women of a certain age should not wear wings...hmph) and bright cheeks lips too. As much as I complained about Summer, I sorta hate to see it go. I will be jumping full-on into fall colors though. I am chomping at the bit for the MAC Matte Lips collection. I may have bought several WnW / Maybelline shades to tide me over. I can't say for sure.

Just fell off my chair Sage---next I'll need surgery & PT for fractured hip!

I'm loving the neutral eye and I'd be right there with you on the winged liner but I have hoodies. I hear there's a way to compensate for them but I've not yet found it

and doubt that I could pull it off. You're very lucky. I have wing-envy!!

@Medgal, I've used the Boscia black cleanser and liked it. I played facial cleanser adultery at the time and moved on to something else. I discovered Dermadoctor ain't misbehaving facial cleanser and have stayed true to that as my morning cleanser. But I still get around for my evening cleanser after OCM. I might have to try the konjac sponge with the black cleanser because I'm struggling with breakouts on my cheeks. Ive been using a sample of the First Aid Beauty skin rescue deep cleansing clay cleanser and really like it. I may pick that up or the Ren clay cleanser. @Sage, You're hilarious!

 

[Medgal07]

@Sage, You're hilarious!

HI there Meka!!! For some reason I think the magic is in the sponge. I noticed that Boscia has more of the sponges and they're skin-problem/need specific.
I haven't tried the others because-----well the one w/bamboo charcoal is doing the trick. I think I might give one of the others like--the 'complexion clearing' one a try.

Salsa Rose is pretty and Coeur Battant is some serious blush. I think that's the one Sage made me buy.
Yes, I think she shamed & tortured me.

She was right though---I love it!

Sounds nice & natural Sage. Is the foundation behaving?

Salsarose is my favourite Mac blush of all time. I'm madly in love with it. CB is just amazing. I use my Mac 188 for them and it's perfect- never too much.

 

[Medgal07]

Hi there @Medgal07! I still haven't picked up the Fétiche palette... I need to correct that ASAP.


I've only purchased a few items, but they've all been totally legit. She seems to have good deals in place to buy overstock from various companies. Actually, the buying experience was quite positive. I got a great deal on my Nars Yachiyo brush.

Katred. OMG---I can't believe you've been sleeping on this one. Is it still around? It is hands down the most unique e/s palette that I own. I would never have
come up with that particular color combination on my own. I love it so much. I have to say, the roll-out of the collection was pretty strange--I had to search for the
items at multiple stores, and the stores only had certain items, and no one store seemed to have everything.

 

[Medgal07]

I wanted to get away from neutral eye-looks this week but that only happened for two days---huge fail on my part! It didn't happen today either because I just got my items from the Tom Ford fall collection and I needed to play with them. As luck or Tom Ford would have it, the e/s palette, 'Nude Dip' is totally neutral. I'll try to do better next week!

 

[Medgal07]

The temperature is much cooler---though technically still summer, it feels more like fall. I started this week off more colorfully with Tom Ford's Burnished Amber e/s quad, Cheek Color & Highlight Duo, Softcore and what turned out to be am amazing lip combo---MAC's Have to Have It lip pencil, Tom Ford's Negligee lipstick and Tom Ford's lip glass in Pink Quilt---love, love, love this lip trio. It appears rosy born on me.

 

[meka72]

^^^^Gorgeous! I want the Burnished Amber palette. Too bad that I misse it I'm still resisting Negligee though

Thanks Meka! You know I saw Burnished Amber on Neiman's web site not too long ago.
So, I just checked again and it's not there but Cognac Sable is:

Hi Aradhana! How are you feeling?

It's been like a ghost town around here, but I get it.---that's life! How are your job hunting efforts going?
I've been wearing neutral eye looks---can't seem to get away from it but it's just such a fast and easy look to do. We didn't really establish a theme per se for September. We've been hanging onto summer for dear life. Summer is officially over September 22 at 10:29 P.M. EDT., so I guess we can go with the brilliant colors of fall---orange, brown, red, yellow and green. I'm sure there are a few more fall colors to inspire our MU looks.

Thanks re: the lip combo. I would never have looked a TF Negligee as a neutral but it really is.

LOL, we really have been hanging onto Summer for dear life! I am wearing WnW Putry Persimmon on my lips AGAIN, along with Sinful Colors Coral Reef. I promise that Monday, the first day of Autumn, I will be appropriately muted.I am thinking brugndy lips and tips, like bringing out Heaux, Fixed on Drama and the like. I need to wear Runway Hit this summer - can you believe I have not?!?

Hey ladies! I hope you're well. My daughter made her move to Maryland over the weekend. Five minutes into the 7 hour drive, Mr Kitty (the stray cat that I took in a year ago and gave to my daughter) escaped the carrier. It took me about 15" to calm him down but I was able to get him to sit calmly in my lap (he is not a lap cat at all). He rode quietly on the floor for about 4 hours but then peed on the floor and me. After the pee-for-all, he rode the remainder of the trip in his carrier without any fuss. The trip traumatized him so much that he is now a lap cat. Lol. My daughter told me that I had to pack my clothes in a grocery bag because there was no room for my suitcase. Luckily, I found a small carryon bag but could pack very little. Unluckily, the washing machine in my daughter's apartment was broke. So there were a couple of days that I had to wear the jeans scented with Essence d'urine de feline. Lol. My daughter also hit a pole in the parking garage and destroyed the driver side mirror on her car. Her pride and wallet were hurt but nothing else. Surprisingly, I ve only purchased one makeup related item: Mally poreless face defender. I'm looking forward to fall colors.

 

[sagehen]

@meka72: 1. Pee-for-all! I WILL use this phrase again, I WILL! 2. Tell us your thoughts on the poreless face defender. 3. Glad that you all arrived safely in spite of the pee-for-all (see! I told you it would be used again!)

I don't blame you one bit Sage---those colors are gorgeous---especially PP. I don't want to be muted. We should be loud & vibrant if we want to be. Falling leaves are
vibrant orange & yellow!! I am however itching for the vampy colors too, especially FOD & Sin. Love them all. Would you believe I've never worn Heaux? Can you
believe I don't even have Runway Hit

?

I just put Tom Ford's Black Cherry nail polish on today. It's super dark. I'm not ready for Fall. It was 72 degrees today & I was freezing!!!
