Theme Makeup with a Purpose

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.

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...

Don't be! Runway Hit was drying to a level of discomfort. I love the matte look, but I couldn't endure it and I had to top it w/a moisturizing tint. I think I'm
getting spoiled by my high-end lipstick formulas, but I love my MAC lippes. I refuse to give up on them!!!

​ Your nude eye look sounds pretty. Toxic Tale is gorgeous. I don't have it so I looked it up and there you were Katred---stunning pic!!!

Hah, same here! I tried all the lipsticks from AAO recently when they were made perm, but - no. Just no. Flamingo was the best one for me too, but still a no I went with a golden khaki look today. I wore Kiko's Jasper Green that is like Chanel's Idos in texture and is a nice khaki green with gold shimmer and wore that with an Estee Lauder liquid liner in Bronze. I used also Mac's Lured To Love MB from last year's christmas collection, a nice peachy coral, and Guerlain Geneva. Wore that to a screening of The Hobbit and it hold up well though I cried during the end. I'm such a Tolkien geek!

It's starting to become harder for me everyday, I wore Strange Journey today and just didn't like how it wore through out the day...

It was not so much the storyline Med but the sense of nostalgia. Those movies and the books of course have accompanied me for so long, and although if course they'll be around for posterity it's so sad to me that there won't be any new movies. I met awesome people through it all, and learned a lot during the heyday of The Lord of the Rings. But I'm rambling and must be off to bed! Btw, I'm lusting after your YSL polish!!!

This, coming from the woman who suggested we do two weeks of a lip color instead of one? Tell me about your struggle, Pretty.

Sleep well!!!!

This polish is pretty unique to anything that I own. It's both textured and quick drying. I'm usually bothered by textured NP, but this is tolerable for me.
There was one more NP in this particular collection but I have not yet worn it, Bleu Galuchat 52, a Deep Teal.

Today my plan was to wear MAC Dangerous lipstick with Dynamo lip pencil but sickness ruined that. I wore MAC Toxic Tale with NYX Toast lip liner on Monday, Watch Me Simmer yesterday with NYX Brown Cafe liner. I will try again tomorrow.

*folds arms* HMPH! Whatever

Ok I totally had fun planning out looks last night, but as much as I love MAC, there is better. My friend has been saying this for awhile now. I've finally caught up.

Girl you let Watch Me Simmer out of your sight?!? I am sad that I could not do Coral/Orange week as big as I wanted.
I know! Whenever we are supposed to get together I'm like Hey, don't forget. I was playing around with it on a friend who swore up and down she was too dark to wear a color like that. I whipped it out and showed her how it turned into a neutral coral on her. When we packed up all of our makeup, I... ME, put my lippie in her bag. LOL

You'll have to add another week at the end so you can go big. What other ideas did you have? (nope not stealing your suggestions)
