i don't know what happened to @Prettypackages - i tried to quote her link...there are some ladies definitely rockin that lipstick, but i am pretty sure i would not be able to pull that shade off! saved from haven to hunt that one down!!Well, I actually tried to come up with a look for Haute Altitude today.
Face: EL BB Cream in Light that is usually too dark for me, but I've still the Maui tan, so it's allright plus I wanted to use a product with sunscreen in it because I started with a BHA serum yesterday evening! My first! (Silly to be excited about a new skincare product?!) Coverage was a bit light so I put my beloved Mac Mineralize Loose over it.
Eyes: I got a dupe of the Chanel IdOs the day before yesterday - Kikos new Supreme Eyeshadow. I've you've got a Kiko near you, get it!!!!!! It's a bit wetter than the Idos, but it's a third of the Chanel price. I got a wonderful green with golden shimmer - it's called Exquisite Jasper Green. I paired that with ED Legendary Lure, and used Espresso in the outer v and Kid as a transition colour. Brown liner, loads of mascara (L'Oreal Miss Manga - I got that in San Francisco because I recognised I had forgotten to pack my mascara and there was basically a Walgreens at every corner so I popped in and my jetlagged brain told me to get this for no reason at all - it's ok but very very very waterproof which came in handy later at the vacation).
Blush: At Dusk with a bit of Lightscapade
Lips: Boldly Bare l/l with HA. Hmmmmm. I don't know if I like HA. It's so 60ies baby pink and I basically don't know what to do with that. It didn't went so well with the eyes, so I just threw Hush Hush Rose l/g over it and called it a day.
the look sounds really nice...especially the eyes!
i wore at dusk just yesterday, but with deep brown eyes - maybe i will try it tomorrow with green now that you've inspired me.
did you get a waterproof miss manga? i have a regular one, and it is not that prone to staying put...and flakes!
looks good!

Me too! Me too! *jumps up and down* That's the reason why I can't wear winged liner - I've never found a way to do so! I wore a - for me - quite elaborate look today but I'll post it tomorrow because it's already 10.45 pm over here and we had some drinks after dinner.

Hey ladies, I hope you're enjoying the weekend! This week has been a little more challenging so I didn't participate much. I did wear Nars Coeur Battant blush and Mac Mystical lipstick so I stayed theme for BCAM. @Anneri, it sounds like you had a great honeymoon. Glad to have you back. @Aradhana, congrats to you! @Medgal, thanks for posting the links for the smokey eye tutorials. I'm sure that I missed someone. I'll come back after my nap. Everyone "looked" great in the looks they posted.

I just couldn't do it either so I gave up---it always looked like a broken wing!!!I wore a - for me - quite elaborate look today but I'll post it tomorrow because it's already 10.45 pm over here and we had some drinks after dinner.
I would love to read a drunken makeup post Anneri!
