today i did a full look because i had to go and get an id photo taken...i think somehow i looked a little too made up. not for the photo, but when i went to the gym later on the makeup really hadn't budged, so i got some strange looks from the people who were there barefaced or with very little makeup. but it's not like i put the makeup on just for the gym class, so whatever.
anyway, i had used my giorgio armani silk foundation in 7.5 towards the centre of my face, mixed with mac mineralize liquid in nc45 on the perimeter. i used my new(ish) hourglass dual ended face brush, which so far i really love. it creates a really nice finish, and i like the fact that i could potentially keep it in my bag without making a great big mess.
my bcam item was eurydice! i love how it looks like i drank kool-aid or ate a pink popsicle, not like a lipstick per se.
i've been trying to train my ears for an oral french language evaluation i have to do, so i've been trying to listen to french videos on youtube. at first i was listening to people saying numbers and conjugating verbs, but it was a bit too simplistic, so i moved on to makeup tutorials! anyway i found a very good channel if y'all are interested in french makeup videos....

How did it look with Purple Rain. I'm going to have to look in my stash of pencils and see what looks nice. So far I've only used Toast.
How do you like the NYX Fat Marker Liquid liner pen.
Is that BN Clay one of those BN Mojave powders you've talked about before?
TOday I wore Pander me with NYX Ever lip pencil. It was a perfect match. This is a great fall color. I didn't like it at first, but I've totally gotten used to it.
I wore Make You Mine blush.
And some really basic MUFE shadows. A bronze color for the lid, dark matte brown in the eye, and a medium brown for transition.
Nars TM in Seychelles. I'm out of Lancome, and I think right now, that's my favorite.
I couldn't think of a look so I went for something basic.

Sounds pretty! How do you like the GA Silk Foundation. I wish Sephora still carried Illamasqua.
I'd like to see those videos.
1. It looked very ...demure. Hard to explain. It looked good, I would do it again and it was a perfect pull it together quickly look. I went to the doctor, ran some errands so perfect. I just can't help but wonder if it would look more...MORE, with Magenta or Bloom liners. Like their neon opacity would bolster the color, KWIM? 2. I really like the NYX pen. But the fat one is a very thick line (you know how, on I Love Lucy you see that thick line because of the fake lashes Lucy and Ethel wore? That kinda thick). I like it so for me it is a one-swipe pen. You need a sure hand with it for that reason. It is well-priced (better with a BOG sale from Ulta), lasts long and stays put. 3. Yes, Clay is a Mojave powder. I like it more than Topaz at this time of year, because I don't need the extra boost of red that Topaz gives me right now. I will be back to Topaz when I lose a little more Summer color. 4. I really like NYX Ever lip pencil. That little pop of purple makes this brown so nice and not "flat" on brown skin, ya know? BTW, if you like it, you might want to cop a couple - Cherry Culture is no longer selling that shade (they are liquidating a lot of stock of most brands - what's up with that) and it has been sold out on NYX for quite some time. I wonder if it is being quietly dc'd like a couple other favorites (Cola, I loved you so).
Thanks aradhana! I like the lip shade you chose. I miss Illamasqua too. I was just getting ready to act on a nice wish list and poof! Gone from Sephora.

ladies! you can still order illamasqua online from their website! and they regularly have small discounts. if you create an account, it also shows the price of products without tax, since they only charge their taxes to uk residents. the only catch is that (at least here in canada) sometimes when you do online orders from other countries who don't have agreements in place, customs charges taxes when the products arrive here. that said, i've never had that happen with my illamasqua orders.Sounds pretty! How do you like the GA Silk Foundation. I wish Sephora still carried Illamasqua.

i like the ga silk foundation a lot. but, it's not a perfect match at the moment....i might go pick up a darker one so i can blend it. otherwise i like the finish. you can kinda wear it more sheerly, or build it up for more coverage and flawlessness.

slightly off-topic, and apologies for sensitive, sentimental thought, but:
One day this month, I am going to wear OCC Black Metal Dahlia lip tar. A member of Specktra, who was lost to breast cancer, recommended it to me. I came across it today, and I plan to wear it in her honor. That is all. I am not trying to threadjack.
Not at all a threadjack. This thread started on the basis of breast cancer awareness so it's totally
APPROPRIATE to honor a fellow Specktrette. I think I mentioned LeeLee (Alicia) who lost her battle
with breast cancer in an earlier post this month. I think it's special to honor someone in a way so
meaningful and personal to you...gone but not forgotten!!!

Good one Dominique!!!! It looks good on you!! I totally forgot about this lipstick!ha!! no way josé!
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...
....but smokey eyes go nicely with lighter pink lips and/or blush. That's perfect for BCAM

Charlotte is a dark rich red! Not enabling---just sharing because my grandmother, mother and sister are all named Charlotte. It's only right that I let youAnother lazy makeup day for me...well, the eyes i did the black/white smokey eye using a l'oreal colour riche quad in 'incredible grey'.
I didn't really have any frosty whites i thought would do the trick so i picked up this quad yesterday at the drugstore. for $7, it's A-ok. The black shadow could be a little more pigmented, but i was able to do a sufficiently smokey look, and combined it with spiced chocolate from the cult of cherry quad as a transition colour.
The sponge applicator has to go however. It's been a while since I used one of those! I kind of just did it for old times sake!
Anyway I also used hibiscus kiss for blush, and a l'oreal serum lipstick in light chocolate. For BCAM I came home and tried on my new greta nars audacious lipstick. Yep. Just like that. I succumbed.
I hope I can find the original /You Tube video of this look. I'll start gathering a list of smokey eye vids---this should be fun!
Do I need Greta? Charlotte should have a few more playmates don't you think?
