Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I ordered a few of the "Marsala Appropriate" items from Sephora's list, and they arrived today, Thursday. Two are old items and one new. I got NARS blush in Outlaw, YSL baby Doll Kiss & Blush in Nude Insolent 10, which is a rosy tan, and actually darker than I thought it would be, and is quite nice, and Guerlain'KissKiss' Shaping Cream Lip Color Air Kiss 30, which is new and is a mid-tone burgundy lipstick. It's pretty as well. I hope I like the formula because this is my first go the KissKiss line.

 

[Anneri]

I'm especially interested in hearing your opinion of the guerlain kisskiss! Outlaw is wonderful! Maybe I'm going shopping today as well...

Changing my polish today so here is Ruby Kisses HD polish in Orange You Jealous

I have a VS bikini in a similar but much more garish shade, oh, my lol

 

[Anneri]

My face today -

FACE: Mac CC cream in Adjust, Mineralize Loose Foundation in Light, Artdeco Mineral Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, Chanel Poudre Signee (highlighter) and Prim & Proper blush

EYES: UDPP, Maybelline Browdrama (darkest colour), Burberry Rosewood all over lid, Midnight Brown (Burberry again) in the crease, Kid as a transition colour, Espresso in the outer V and Orb to highlight inner corners and under browbone, EL Pure Color Intense Kajal in Black (best eyeliner ever!!!) and Clinique lash doubling mascara which I've used a lot lately and wasn't really convinced, and today, WHAM! Lashes!

LIPS: Mac La Vie En Rouge

The eyes were allrigt, but didn't like what I used on my cheeks. Prim & Proper was ok for the eyelook, but not for the lips - maybe I should've used Burberry Cameo? - and the Chanel highlighter pulled so yellow-gold on me! Eeeek! (I honestly don't know why I own so many highlighters when all I use is Lightscapade - smh!)

Sounds cute! I had just applied it in the photo. The polish line's brush and formula is one of my faves. I like the colour a lot! My swimsuit, though is like an orange traffic cone colour lol but I like it well enough

Anneri!! How do you like MAC CC cream???? I like wearing BBs/CCs around the house instead of foundation sometimes, especially if I'm not going out.
​ Sorry you didn't like your eye-look. You & AWS ar the reason I've purchased several items from the Burberry holiday collection. I wasn't until you twisted my arm encouraged me
to buy Pale Barley that I'd ever tried Burberry other than clothing and accessories. AWS kept putting pic and swatches under my nose util I could't take it anymore, and purchased some stuff. She seems sweet and harmless but she's a regular little Pittbull when it comes to this stuff. It was scary, I tell you!!!

I'm like you with the highlighters...unless I force myself, I reach for the same one/ones all the time!!! MAC La Vie En Rouge is GORGEOUS. I've missed many MAC lipsticks----I fear I'm now hooked on Guerlain lipsticks.

Hi Med! I like the Mac CC cream. It's nice, but my all time faves are the Smashbox CC cream and the one from Bourjois. The Smashbox one was heavily endorsed by Elegant - you could say that she twisted our collective arms to get it and I wasn't disappointed. Did you like the Burberry stuff you got? I think the lipstick in Oxblood is on my wishlist! I actually liked the eye look I did, but not in combination with the cheek products. Should've chosen Cameo blush! I've seen the AWS enabling in the high end threads - I'm quite prudent and stay out if them...

I'll have to keep that in mind when I'm ready to purchase a CC cream. By then they'll have a DD cream
out for double duty

The only thing that I've used from the Burberry items that I purchased is the highlighter. I've used it all
week. It's not the best highlighter formula that I have but it's a good one. I just find that it requires more
buffing to get my desired look, while others have that immediate sheen. I was saving the e/s quad and
Oxblood lipstick and lipgloss to wear during our burgundy/berry week, which starts Monday Dec 15.

AWS is going to wring my neck when she sees what I wrote---even if it is true!!!

Outlaw is wonderful! Maybe I'm going shopping today as well...

I was getting worried about Outlaw until I got it. I think T gave it an unfavorable review, but I think it's
pretty and marsala-color-of-the-year appropriate. The KissKiss formula reminds me of the old Chanel
Coco Shines which are moisturizing and less pigmented. I'll be better able to assess it when I wear it
sometime next week.

I just ordered about half of the Chanel spring collex.

I remember T's review of Outlaw. I agree with her that it's not as easy to blend as other Nars blushes, but I don't find it difficult to work with and the colour is stunning.

I find the Kiss Kiss lipsticks are more pigmented than the Coco Shines, although they are sort of similar to the ones that were introduced with heavier pigmentation (like Fiction). Personally, I find the KK lipsticks more hydrating than either the Rouge Coco shines or the Rouge Automatiques.

Today's look is my favourite so far, and features my all-time favourite orange lipstick. After the "smog-eye" yesterday, I kept things much cleaner and I find I look healthier.

Face:
Hourglass MIneral Veil Primer
UD Naked Skin 1.0
Dior Star concealer 010
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder "Diffused Light"
Mac blush "Devil" (bright deep orange)
Mac Fix+ spray

Eyes:
Chanel "Beige Lamé" (beige with subtle silver-white sparkle) all over lids
Mac "Remotely Grey" (cool medium brown) through crease
Mac "Vanilla" (peachy white) under brow bone
Illamasqua Precision Gel liner (black) upper lash line, winged out just a little
MUFE Concealer Pencil "Light" along lower water lines
YSL Baby Doll mascara

Lips:
Sephora brand liner "Tangerine Tango" (bright orange with slight shimmer) I think it's really an eye liner, but I use it on eyes and lips with no problems
Givenchy Rouge Interdit "Candide Tangerine" (bright, glossy tangerine orange)

"Candide Tangerine" was such a beautiful, happy orange shade, I wish it hadn't been limited. Rouge d'Armani #300 is fairly close, though, so I'd recommend that as a replacement.

After thinking this would be a stretch for me, it now seems like I'll have no problem doing a full week of oranges and corals. That said, I'm still way more prepared for purpleberryvamp week. I tried making a short list of shades I wanted to use and came up with more than a dozen.

I like that name: "Purpleberryvamp Week" hehe.

I'm glad orange week worked out better for you than you thought. I'm wearing my beloved Mac True Red LE lipstick from summer's Pedro Lourenco collection. Though, I'm not sure why they named it True Red 'cause it's straight up a red orange but I'm not complaining about the shade lol.
