I didn't go very heavy on anything at all today as I was running late for work but I did grab Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in Coralberry. I bought this since summer and today was the first time ever wearing it lol. It's a coral with just the right amount of pink and peach for me. Hope everyone had a great day today.

Way to go Shars---sounds like a pretty lipstick!!! You're not alone. I don't remember when the MAC All About Orange collection came out, but I purchased
Runway Hit at that time, and wore it for the first time today.

I love your look Vee! You twisted my arm inspired me to get the Burberry palette with that little cohort​ our own AWS. I'm looking forward to wearing it during our burgundy lip week.

BTW, how do you like Givenchy Prisme Visage 03???

Sounds like noise is on my list, trying to test it out to see if I still want/ like it.
Runway hit and I did not get a long. It was a very pale ink.. I wonder if I got a dud?

I've had Dior's Cuir Cannage at home for a week and I haven't felt right about using it with any of the looks I've done so far in the challenge. I worry that if I don't use it soon, I'm going to forget all about it.

It probably was. LOL





Sooo Monday I decided to play around with Tangerine Dream. I still haven't found a look to work with it.

I didn't like what I did. I'm still going to hang on to Tangerine Dream b/c of it's uniqueness, but I'm struggling...


I'm not going to bother with Foundation/concealer. It was a mess... Nothing has staying power right now, and as I've been saying in each thread, and to anyone who will listen, my coloring is off. well, I don't know my color, which is why I seem to go through this every 6 months or when the season change. Long story short, I think the MUA was right, I'm golden olive (WTF) which is why I'm inbtwn colors. Too light/beige Too dark brown. And you all have hear me complain about MAC NC45 being too orange (WHO IS ORANGE LOL) anyway... back to my look. I swear I'm taking pics this week.



Monday:
EYES: I decided to play with the Maya Mia palette to see if I liked it. Felt like the colors popped a lil bit better over painterly.
lid: Fresh Peach
Crease: deep brown.
Then I had a stroke of genius, NOT, and added Central Park, a dark matte green on my lid, from the Tarte Gorgeous Getaway Palette. (Holiday 2014) I'm trying to play with this palette to see if I like it. So far the colors suck, or I don't know how to work with them. My makeup look turned into a muddy mess. On my hand, they turn out nicely. It didn't translate well on my lid.

lips: Tangerine Dream with toast. I think I need to find a dupe for MAC chestnut, and I need to find a dark/red brown.

Blush: the only one I had with me was Almeria.

Foundation: YSL Tiente Idole, set with UD med dark powder. Concealer was EL DW Deep (too light, Extra Deep too dark)


Ok, don't laugh at Monday. I didn't plan my look out the night before. LOL



Tuesday.

Today I used Lancome 450 TIente Idole foundation. It just slipped off of my face, but I did forget to set it. Lancome caramel undereye concealer. Might be too yellow, but it's working right now.

Eye:
Sumptuous olive on my lid.. OMG, I need every variation of this color and finish. I don't know why it isn't an everyday staple.
Oomph in the outer corner.
Saddle in the crease
bb warm taupe to transition. I absolutely love this shade. I call it the notorious of eyeshadow.

Blush: Honey Jasmine. This just might be the first time I've worn it. I love it.

lip: Tarte and Trendy. I like it... I think I would have rather had something like Sushi Kiss


I might through some more reds in, I'm destashing right now and determined to get rid of anything that I don't look at and love.

I'm going through Pinterest and blogs of coral/oranges... I think I'm going to have fun the rest of this week. *we can almost do two weeks of each color* LOL

LMAO... I'm about an hour over 25. Wait, depends on how we're counting... 13 minutes then. LOL


Very pretty on you!

LOVE Vegas Volt, and this whole look... I had to look up Llush Colour Supplement. I'm going to check those out. Right now I'm so inbetween colors, Nothing I'm wearing works.
JUst bought painterly, I never thought I could wear it. I love it!

I was bringing this one out too! How do you like the Foundation.

Ahhhh I should pull out all woman quad. How do you like the highlighter? So, where's my swatch?
girlhaha.gif

You should, Pretty. All Woman is a good one. I had totally forgotten about the Rainy Season quad until
I think Katred mentioned it.

The Burberry Gold Glow Fragranced Luminizing Powder, Gold No 01 is nice. The formula is ok, and
one can buff it to a nice sheen. It's not my favorite formula for that reason...it requires a tad more work
than other highlighters that I know and love. I think it depends on individual preferences.

That's a lovely one Katred.....It will play nicely w/a bold lip or a soft lip should you create a dark brown
smokey eye with it. I love that palette!!! That's so easy to do at the rate in which we rake in the
products!!!

I'm jealous seeing all the shades from All About Orange used. I so wanted to get a couple of them, but I've tried every single one and none of them look even mildly acceptable on me. Flamingo was the closest, but it still looked icky.
ohboy.gif


I did indeed go bright today and am wearing Toxic Tale. For some reason, I remembered it being drying, but today it feels fine. I think I might be confusing it with Neon Orange, which I do find quite drying.

I wanted to keep things simple, so I used the shades from Guerlain's Les Sables palette on my eyes, which is my perfect nude eye palette. I did dress it up a little with Stila sparkling liquid liner in Electric- bright Emerald green. It smudged a little because my lid got a little damp. Normally, I'd say "that's life", but the formula is specifically marketed as waterproof and this has happened pretty much every time that I've worn the liner. Growl.

On the cheeks, I went with a couple of Mac shades I hadn't tried in a while- Dollymix and the MB in Rhapsody in Two. The latter is a mix of golden peach and soft strawberry pink which is more like a highlighter. I seem to have been the only one who liked it (was part of a limited summer collection with a lot of Mineralize products in 2011), but I find it livens up my skin.

Thus far, I still like the first look of the week the best, but I'm faring better with corals (no oranges yet, but they're coming) than I thought I would. I knew there had to be a reason I kept buying them...
