Theme Makeup with a Purpose

I'm hopping on the Nars Audacious train this weekend. I have no clue which color to buy though. Probably a red. Can't go wrong with red lipstick.
The store I went to had a very limited selection (only maybe 10 shades), and I could easily have bought 6 of them.

You definitely can't go wrong with a red.

When I went to take a look I was wondering if I'd be expecting too much because of the hype...but they did not disappoint!

Oh. I get those dark spots too whenever I have a break out or any kind of skin abrasion. My skin is basically like a map of my entire history of scarring... My acne scars tend to fade over time, but on certain bad skin days they seem more apparent for some reason!
This made me giggle, but only because I can I identify. It is the perfect description of what the scarring does to our face. Each individual mark took 9-12 mos to fade on my face. I'd only get 3-4 blemishes/month but imagine how many marks that made over the course of a year. It was so frustrating. A few years ago I was able to take Accutane for a few months and I am a change woman. The doctor said I had moderate acne, but severe scarring and she thought that was enough for a script. Now when I get blemishes they come and go quickly leaving no marks.

I got a script for EpiDuo but need to figure out how to work it into my regimen. I'm a little hesitant to use it because it has benzoyl peroxide in it and I can't have BP bleaching my clothes. Chemical peels have helped significantly with PIH.

is physical IT the purple/pink fluid line? i kinda like that one, though it's a bit too 'natural' as a liner on me. but as an all over lid colour it looks purdy with a dark blue or purple liner....
what's NV? gee i'm out of the loop!

i am going to try this look tomorrow. i know it's not smokey eye week yet, but i'm afraid i can't wait. i'll still do the pink blush and or lipstick to keep with bcam though...
Yes, that's the one. It's Physical. LOL I totally messed that up. I have learned I really can't do glitter on my eyes. It get's everywhere b/c they'll attach to the fold. Plus with my contacts, I don't want to be bothered. I don't know what I did yesterday, but I had contact trouble all day. I finally took a tissue and cleaned the inner rim of my eye. They kept getting cloudy. I won't even wear color on the inner tear duct. I tried this and was walking around blind at a party b/c my contacts got cloudy. I look back at it and laugh.



I'm going out and thinking about wearing Poe tonite. Any look ideas? We need a look idea thread. I post up one color, and everyone creates a look around it. Ya know?
I'm also thinking about BMD since you all brought it up. I've only worn that once.


MissTT, tell me about the latest meteorites everyone is going crazy for? are they worth it? WHat so special about this one?

I'm sorry. I wore it with NYX toast liner. I love it. It's a pretty soft pink. Someone said Mehr on steroids, and I can see that. I'll take a lip shot this weekend.

I haven't seen them in person, but I beautyjunkie12 reported they were warmer. I'm going to swap my Dore balls. Tried them again today and I can't say they added to the look. I'll try the new balls if they restock on Sephora, but if not I'm sure I can live without them. I've never worn the Hourglass powders either. I've got Bobbi Brown Retouching powder in Peach and Yellow. Those finishing powders create a visibly improved finish.

Hey TT! Please let me know what you think of the meteorites because I considered picking them up. I should probably research how to use them first (setting powder v. Highlighter). I need to check out BB retouching powder. How do you use it?

@AWS, I love Mystical and wish that's had purchased a backup. I figure that I could find a dupe in the Nars Audacious line. @WD, whwre did you get your BCAM socks? I'd love to buy a pair.

Hi [@]meka72[/@], you know what? MAC lipsticks can be hit or miss for me so I didn't expect Mystical to be as nice as it is lol

I can do a CP for you... I'm going to the strip mall where it's at this weekend. Let me know
That's so kind of you! But that's okay. I think one of my coworkers (whom I don't talk to very much) is doing a BCAM fundraiser where she's selling BCAM merchandise. I'll probably pick something up from her. Thanks for the offer for the CP!

We returned yesterday from our honeymoon, and right now I'm trying to get over the most horrible jetlag ever, just put the third load into the washing machine and trying to get used to normal life again. The life, you know, in which nobody makes you amazing meals, you don't have a pool outside your window, nor the ocean and a wonderful beach with the finest sand you can imagine, no little helpers who clean the room after you left it, no amazing adventures like seeing the sunrise from the top of a volcano, driving through a rainforest, swim under a waterfall, snorkel with little colourful fishes and seaturtles, ride a helicopter and being generally in the most awesome place on Earth!
So, basically, I loved it. I really liked San Francisco though two and a half day was much too short a time to get to know it, but Maui? Amazing. Gorgeous. My vocabulary can't cover the experience. If you have the chance, go there. Also, the Andaz was the most perfect hotel I've ever been too.

Needless to say, I didn't wear any MU. On most days it was sunscreen (a lot of it!), some brow gel, mascara and lipgloss. I hauled a bit at Sephora and Mac in San Francisco, but I got one np while on Maui and that was it. I truly felt like on a MU break! I didn't even check Specktra! I've a lot of threads to read now... And I'll be picking up my pink game for the rest of the month! Np first thing tomorrow!
