Hey ladies! I couldn't remember what the theme for last week was but remembered that I didn't have the theme product (pigment) so I just repeated what I did last week (smokey eye look with Smashbox peachyndream blush and various lipsticks but changed my foundation to KVD lock-it foundation. Is there a theme for this week? I apologize if it has been posted. Unless I need to change it to be on theme, this is what I'll be wearing this week: Primer: Korres anti-aging primer (I missed using this) Foundation: Becca radiant satin foundation in Sienna Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in Amande (undereye) and Cafe (blemishes) Blush: Becca souffle in papaya topaz Highlight: Becca topaz skin perfector (liquid) Eyeshadow: Mac electric cool eyeshadow in coil (one and done this week) Powder: Koh Gen Do finishing powder (will use under foundation) Mascara: Armani Eyes to Kill (love it!) @PP, you should try the Smashbox halo plush in peachy dream. It is so pretty and blends easily. Can't wait to get the berry shade! @Aradhana, sorry to hear that you had an eczema flare up. My daughter recently started applying vitamin c serum to her eczema patch (on her leg or arm) and said that it has helped tremendously. @Medgal, I don't know much but will have to agree that the powder first trick works really well. You should definitely try it!

I couldn't think of any cute looks to put together, and you guys weren't really posting so I didn't have any ideas to steal from. ;-)
But I wanted to know if we could do another a lip color a week for a Month, in addition to whatever challenge we have. I need to rotate these lipsticks. I did really well when Meddy told me what to wear. ;-)
I'll start letting you know what I find.

how do you like this?
full month with which to work? I'll post the list before Dec 1. I think I'll challenge myself to also wear the same highlighter for a week too.

Are we talking about the awesome Wayne Goss, by chance?
^^ I am 100% down with that. How about a pink week, a red week, a brown week (since it's in) and someone help me with another shade week? This was you can wear several. Like, in the pink week, we can pull several pink/fushcia (sp?)/berry shades to wear and for brown week it can be brown/nude/etc. Reds can be dark like Instigator, etc @Pretty: yeah, it's called inspiration. I take ideas from this thread all the time - isn't that why it was created?

I really like the KGD powder. It mattifies but let's your skin peek through, if that makes any sense. One day, I'm going to use the KGD powder on one side of my face and use the Surratt Diaphane loose powder on the other side to see if I can tell a difference. I like powders for some reason.feel free to share your favorites. I'm sure I need another one. Lol.

Love him! This technique didn't work out well for me last time but I'm going to try it again... maybe tomorrow.
Styled. In. Sepia. You know I think I wore too much dark brown in the 90's...I don't have too many either. I plan to cop Photo and dig out my Spice it Up. I think I have KvD Homegirl... does that count as brown?

Homegirl is gorgeous why didn't you tell us about it before? LOL
For my browns, I'm just going to make it my nude week. And I agree on Styled in Sepia.

what do you think went wrong ?

How about orange & coral.....and like you said if a lippie is in a 'color family' it totally counts!!! The wearer is the
judge of that.
Ding, ding ding---Sage gets the prize------ one of the best things about this thread is---exchanging ideas. I have
been exposed to brands & products that I probably would never have stumbled upon otherwise.

Yes, do tell before I do whatever it is that you did---BTW, did you make paste?
Orange and Coral is always alright with me...I am thinking MAC La Vie En Rouge, KvD Les Ecoles de Femme (?), OCC Grandma, MAC Lady Danger, Vegas Volt, Morange (I can't find mine), and the list goes on.

Yes---exactly. I use all of your input her to construct a list with examples and everyone can add to it. That helps me to use lippies that I've long since forgotten but still love.
Product overload does that to a girl.

I don't think that I could do Styled in Sepia, Sage and PP. I just had a visceral reaction to that shade. I think it looks nice on others but not on me. Or at least I imagine that it wouldn't look good on me. Maybe I'll check it out hen I go to Nordstrom on black Friday.

cool...i didn't end up wearing any pigments - life just got a little hectic and everything is happening all at once!
i have a short term work contract, which is great! i'm travelling for it, so my makeup for the next few weeks is going to be a little bit simplified:
Brown nude or brown smokey eyes, possibly one eyeshadow purple look, and i think i only have two lip and blush options each...So i'll just check in to read what you ladies are getting up to and try to catch up on the makeup experimentation on the weekends!
I'm also looking forward to the lipstick rotation weeks. That's going to be a great help in getting those lipsticks out there and at the front of my mind!
So now that I'm on this work contract, I happened upon a store that carries NYX! this is very exciting indeed for me, although i don't think it's their full range, but up till now i had assumed canadian stores didn't carry this brand. Do you ladies have any NYX faves you can recommend? I couldn't recall all the names I had heard, but I managed to pick up a few lipliners i thought I had heard ranting and raving about (1000 yrs, hot cocoa and black berry), and a blush in dusty rose.
