Love Outlaw.... I might try that Nude Insolent...  can you swatch it when you get a chance?  This is pretty!  You JUST said you were going to try and cull your stash LOL  T doesn't know what she is talking about, Outlaw is aweseome. Like Katred said, might be a lil hard, but it's a gorgeous color.  That lippie is gorgeous! LOVE Kelly, I think I got her.  LOL  Did you know NOrdies has them 10% off right now?  I'm stealing your office look very nice!  what's the armani dupe?  I was in the bed all day with a migraine, so nothing today.  I had planned on La Vie En rose....  I can't find my list of what i wore yesterday. LOL  But it invloved So Vain, like Katred said....  MAC really needs to bring back those Kissable lipsticks...   We should start a campaign...

Hi, is that the Tangerine one? Edit: I just saw that it was a rec for a tangerine lipstick ;-)

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 love the color of Outlaw. Now that I know up front about the potential blending issue I can prepare myself.
Chanel's recent Coco shines seem to be more pigmented than those in days of old. I really like & enjoy them now.

Your look sounds really pretty!

[@]Medgal07[/@] I would not lol I might actually like MyBurberry more than Camélia de Plumes, though lol I have not swatched CdP properly, though.

what's the armani dupe?




I was in the bed all day with a migraine, so nothing today. I had planned on La Vie En rose....

I can't find my list of what i wore yesterday. LOL But it invloved So Vain, like Katred said.... MAC really needs to bring back those Kissable lipsticks... We should start a campaign...

I'm glad you love Outlaw. I was never big on NARS as a brand, for no reason other than I was MAC obsessed, so I don't have much of it in my stash.
I'm very happy with what I do have. I meant to ask if any of you ladies have NARS blush in Marsala. I would love to know how it measures up to the much
anticipated Pantone color of the year, 'Marsala.'

I will definitely swatch Nude Insolent for you tomorrow. It's so much prettier than I'd imagined it would be.

It must be brutal dealing with migraine headaches. Pretty, I certainly hope you feel better soon!!!.

Really??? Well they're so different. I like Burberry---I just don't get the immediate glow from it that I get with some of my other highlighters

Thank you darling :frenz: I swatched and applied MyBurberry/Gold Glow just with my finger and was really impressed! I have not interfered with the actual pattern of CdP yet (only used some excess that fell off probably during the manufacturing or shipping process, though it looks pristine) because I liked MB so much I thought about giving my friend CdP. Can you imagine the look on a makeup lover's face after opening that? :-D I haven't decided yet.

I haven't decided yet.

OMG---That would be one hell of a gift for any makeup lover!!! Maybe I should try using a finger w/my Burberry too, but I hate using my fingers to apply
makeup---it usually ends up on my clothing!!! I even keep wipes in my makeup center, so I don't know how I manage to do it!!!

I normally don't like to either, for sanitary reasons (I also try to wash my hands first and not "double dip" with the Chanel cream blushes) but I had to try it tout de suite lol

I'm still kind of kicking myself for missing that Dior collection. It only showed up at one retailer and by the time I found out it was here at all, most of it was sold out.

Sounds like a great look!

 

[Shars]

A few years back (2009 I think) they did a collection with a lipstick called "Blood Red", that was actually a semi-opaque wild rose pink. Maybe the person in charge of naming colours is a little colourblind and doesn't want to admit it?


So, if someone who struggled a little with lighter or more orange coral shades was trying to choose between Nathalie, Kelly and Grace and said person already owned Greta, which one do you think you would recommend? Asking for a friend, of course, since I couldn't possibly buy another lipstick...

I couldn't find side by side swatches, but here is T's review of Candide Tangerine:

http://www.temptalia.com/givenchy-candide-tangerine-50-rouge-interdit-lipstick-review-photos-swatches

And here is her review of Armani 300:

http://www.temptalia.com/giorgio-armani-300-rouge-darmani-lipstick-review-photos-swatches

And I don't actually own it, but Maybelline Vibrant Mandarin looks like it would be a pretty close match as well.


Sorry to hear about your migraine. Must be something in the air... I had one creep up on me last night and I didn't manage to get out of bed before noon. Thankfully it had passed by then.


Yeah Mac- make with the hugs and kisses!!!


Thank you! It's weird with the Coco Shines, because some of them are more pigmented and some of them are still more sheer. Personally, I prefer them more pigmented, but really, I'd just rather know what I'm getting.


You must be the best friend ever.

I think so too!

I just don't like to use my fingers to apply makeup because I'm a slob...sterile technique is beside the point.

Thanks!! That's too bad about the TransAt collection because it had some real gems. The highlighter is AMAZING and the e's quint, Sun Deck was a real
surprise. I LOVE it.

Grace is really bold and bright, but I love her.
I also think these are pink/coral so you should be safe with anyone. I keep looking at swatches and I think Natalie might be closest to Greta, so do Kelly or Grace. I love those two... I take it all back, Natalie and Greta look different in every swatch I've seen. I'm going to look Nars this weekend, I'll swatch them, if Greta or Natalie isn't an exclusive... I know Kelly is, but I have her.

 

[Prettypackages]

Ladies, thank you... I'll be fine. Just a busy weekend ahead, so stressing about losing a whole day. And busy season at work starts, with mandatory 7 hour training tomorrow. I've been sleep all day and now I can't sleep. Ah well...
I got up and went out to buy a pepsi, the headache is shifting so hopefully it is going away. I'm mad I missed my appt with my derm today, had concerns I've been itching to discuss, and was going to get a dry curly hair cut for the first time today... now rescheduling is going to be a beeotch b/c of this work schedule. Minor, but you know how it is.

I think kelly would look gorg on your " friend" :wink: but as pretty noted, it is a really bright shade (nevertheless beautifullll) and I think Natalie would be muted of the three!! Grace and kelly looked pretty close on me. for some reason I liked kelly a tad better!!!

Today's face: Because Toxic Tale was erpromoted just now I decided to bust out mine today - maybe not the best decision because my lips are wrecked right now! I totally loved the Guerlain Palette in Coup de Foudre I used - a pity I don't use it more often! That was a great spring collection the palette was in.

FACE: Mac CC cream in Adjust, Mineralize Loose Foundation in Light, Artdeco Mineral Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, Lightscapade to highlight, Strada to contour, Clinique Peach Pop

EYES: UDPP, Maybelline Browdrama (darkest colour), Guerlain Coup de Foudre: lightest green all over the lid, darkest green in the crease, coral in the inner corner, Orb to highlight and Clinique lash doubling mascara

LIPS: Mac Toxic Tale


I went shopping today and bought some Marsala coloured items!!!

I went shopping today and bought some Marsala coloured items!!!

What Marsala items did you get? I have wine shades in my collection, but I'm curious to find something that has the slightly muted quality of the actual pantone shade.

Totally agree with you about Coup de Foudre and that whole collection. It was really lovely.

And thank you. ladies, for your recommendations for my "friend" on Natalie v Kelly v Grace. Still a tough decision, but it always helps to have input.

I thought I'd do something a little more colourful for today's look, although it's certainly on the softer side of colourful.

Face:
UD Naked Skin 1.0
Dior Star Concealer 010
Dior blush 889 "New Red" [warm red coral]
Chanel Poudre Signé [soft shimmery white gold]

Eyes:
Mac paint pot "Painterly"
Mac fluidline brow "Deep Dark Brunette" (I love this, but it's noticeably lighter and warmer than my hair)
Dior e/s light green from the "Blue Lagoon" palette- centre of lids
Le Metier de Beauté e/s "Chameleon" [cool antique gold] outer third of lid, blended into outer crease up to the brow bone
RBR e/s "Whispering Ibis" [fern green with gold pearl] inner angle
RBR e/s "Snowy Egret" [dirty white gold] along brow bones
UD e/l "Smoke" [charcoal grey] on upper lash lines
Guerlain Cils d'Enfer mascara

Lips :
Bite Beauty Luminous Creme lipstick "Cin Cin" [warm apricot]

Weird thing: I took photos for a future blog post and in all of them, Cin Cin looks like a cooler reddened coral. It doesn't look like that in real life, but in the photos, all the other colours are fine. Très weird. That said, I'm really glad for this challenge right now, because I'd completely forgotten about this lipstick, or at least, I didn't get around to wearing it very often. Doing things like this makes me look through my stash more and pull things out that I miss a lot of the time.

 

[Anneri]

Here's what I got - P2 and Catrice are German drugstore brands, while Kiko is an Italian brand that fits right between drugstore and high end. I was mainly looking for e/s because I don't own any that would fit the Marsala description. I think I own some lipsticks and blushes already.
