Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[sagehen]

You're killing it this week, Sage! Btw, did you get that Becca radiant satin foundation? What's your shade? I'm down for smokey eye week. But y'all might have to explain the smokey eye to me. I'm confused y'all. What's the concept? Is there a good YouTube video that demonstrates it? I've watched video after video, and searched and search the innanets yet I can't see, to grasp the smokey eye.

So, umm, I went to the site and got sidetracked by some other items, and did not get the foundation, and I felt like it's just as well because I have WAY too many bottles/tubes/compacts of foundation right now. I got lucky enough to get my hands on 2 bulk-sized bottles of the old formula ELDW Rich Ginger that actually matches my skin, so I feel like, for a change, I am good on foundation for awhile. I keep telling myself this and maybe it will sink in, yes?

[COLOR=EE82EE] Have you seen the Dior [/COLOR][COLOR=EE82EE]Holiday Highlighters?[/COLOR]

Well please rein me in with you. I don't need another gold highlighter but the pink Dior highlighter is
really pretty. Unfortunately I heard the pink won't be released here. I just ordered the Guerlain holiday
Météorites, Perles d’Etoiles & I'm trying hard not to look at anything else---for a minute.

Meka you are too cute! I learned strictly via You Tube videos. I'll post several of them next week so you have time to play before November---don't let me forget! Once you get the basics down you'll have fun experimenting with it. I eventually progressed beyond the traditional black smokey eye to navy and brown and dk green. It's fun!!! You can start with your YSL Fétiche palette!!!

You look so pretty, AWS! I think this is the first time that I've seen a pic of you. Your makeup looks really natural. And I love those shoes!

Thank you very much [@]meka72[/@]! The shoes are these Brazillian brand, Piccadilly. They are over five years old and only the heels are scuffed but I love the little ruffle at the back

I frequently get sidetracked on that site. Lol. I love foundation too and have too many in rotation and 2 unopened bottles. Yet I keep lusting for more.

I'm so glad that you mentioned the Dior Holiday collection. Do you think the Dior shock 5 color eye palette is similar to TF burnished amber quad? I'm sad that I missed out on this even though I probably would have had to work the corner to pay for it. Lol.

Crap, I can't multi-quote from my iPad and am tired of posting separately. I've had a crazy few days of work and I'm cranky. Lol. Sage, AWS & Medgal, you ladies look great! Sage, your makeup doesn't sound like it is too much. It sounds just right. AWS, I see that you like shoes as much as you like eyeshadow. Lol. Medgal, you have such nice makeup. I always go google pics of your stuff and usually get mad because stuff is limited edition. Thanks for offering to help me with my smokey eye. I need all the help that I can get. Evidently yesterday, I left the house looking like a darker version of the eyeshadow bandit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2742653/Eye-shadow-enthusiast-caught-red-handed-shoplifting-makeup-handfuls-beauty-supply-store.html. My coworker told me that she liked my pink eyeshadow but the cranberry matte shade was very apparent. I asked why didn't she tell me that I was running around looking crazy and she said that I didn't look crazy but the eyeshadow was very noticeable (read: I looked crazy). Today, I used a different, smaller brush and my eyeshadow looked better.

That lady's a real makeup addict, eh?

Meka, I'd hold a bakesale for you before I let you work a corner!
I looked at the Dior holiday palettes and Shock 5 and unfortunately, it's not even close to Burnished Amber. You know, TF's Cognac Sable is really nice,
and it's still available. I just ordered two of the Dior quints, Cuir Cannage (796) andMontaigne (646) that took forever coming state-side but they're pretty
nice. I stalked stores for months waiting for them. They're nice earth tones that can yield a ton of looks. Check them out. CC is my fav and the one I
wanted most.

Why thank you Meka! I'm looking forward to Smokey Eye week in November!! YOUR posts have now become my bedtime stories

I should grab some milk & a few cookies and I'll be all set! You know my first thoughts about the makeup bandit were 1) is she on Specktra? & 2) did all this enabling drive her to that?

I don't always makeup in the best lighting because I'm in a hurry, or whatever but I've gotten in the car on a few occasions, looked in the mirror and nearly screamed.
