Theme Makeup with a Purpose

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.

Shars, I don't know how I missed this post! I love the title Purpleberryvamp Week! I'm happy to berry &
vamp, but you won't catch me purpling.

True Red sounds pretty!

OK I was trying to multiquote, but it didn't work out for me: 1. @medgal07, I am feeling better but would love a repeat lipstick month. It doesn't have to be now or soon, since we have a schedule for the month, but I really love the challenges that guide us to shop and use up our stashes. It gives everyone a chance to be creative too, as much as they like. 2. @prettypackages: The Bobbi Brown Cool Eye palette is nice. I can use all the colors in the palette, and it is really able to stand on its own. I don't have to find a decent transition shade to add to it. I got it, sadly, because I had a coupon and wanted it and the warm palette as an intro into BB shadows, and I am not disappointed. The shades blend well, are not too powdery, do not crease over my HG primer and resisted fading for about 8 hours on my oily skin. It has reawakened my love for taupe eyeshadow. I have honestly copped several taupe-y singles recently because of it (Cargo Yukon, anyone?). So, next week is pink week and then PurpleberryVamp week (which I cannot wait for), yes? This thread has been jumping lately so I don't know how many pages to go back and look.

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!!!
Why are your lips wrecked Anneri? Is TT matte? Yay to shopping 'Marsala.'

I think I own some lipsticks and blushes already.

Love, love love!!! They're all also good for 'Purpleberryvamp' Week, which starts Sunday, December 15

Sage we can just keep the weeks going. If there's a holiday observance that clashes with the color of the week anyone can break-color to wear the
traditional color---like red for Christmas & Valentine's Day, if they wish. We can add another color week or change whatever. I agree, it's a fun thing to do
and it keeps us in touch with forgotten gems in our stashes.

^^how do you like this primer? Does it control oil at all?

Funny you should ask Sage because I did experience some shine today that I hadn't noticed, but I used a different foundation.
So I guess foe me the foundation is the culprit. I do like the primer though.

Oh dear, I didn't do my Orange week reports for yesterday but I'll summarise today.

I wore a copper and gold blend eyeshadow yesterday with a red orange blush from NYX and wore MAC's Who's That Chick from the Riri Fall collection last year on top of MAC's Cherry lip liner.

Today, I wore a blend of green, gold and plum eyeshadow with the same red orange blush from NYX and MAC's Dangerous matte lipstick. That ends my Orange/Coral week. I'm looking forward now to PurpleBerryVamp week!!

 

[sagehen]

First PurpleVampBerry (is that it?) FOTD for me (it's all over the place - I am experimenting with a bunch of products): FACE: Smashbox Pore Reducing Primer (sample, may try full-size) Cargo Oil Free foundation, 90 (too dark and red for this time of year, corrected with powder) LA Girl Pro HD Concealer under eyes, Warm Honey (last time I use this after this tube...a little too light but the product blends like a dream. I will just go back to Fawn under eyes.) Ruby Kisses HD Powder, Banana NYX powder blush, Bordeaux EYES: Smashbox 24Hr eye primer (sample, will not purchase, too high and funny texture to me...does not make eye shadow pop) Cargo e/s: Surrey all over lid into transition, Yukon on lid, Kenya in crease NYX gel liner/smusger, Scarlette (blackened brown) Anastasia Dipbrow, Dark Brown Maybelline One by One Mascara, Blackest Black (RIP after this tube, it was dc'd...WHY?!?) LIPS: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, Transylvania I dyed my hair last night in honor of Marsala in 2015. It really brightens up my complexion at this time of year. I hope I don't get lazy and let it fade.

Ohhh what hair color? SEEE MEDDY, I told you this would be a great hair color!!!
I'm so in love with the Pantone color this year. this is the first time I want to run out and buy everything in this color. Wine colored hobo, here I come! ohhh and what about a great leather coat!
Tell me how you likek the Cargo foundation? I was just looking into them to try their pressed powder.

 

[Prettypackages]

So Saturday I wore

Foundation: Lancome 450


Eyes:
Carbonized on the lid
Outre in the crease up to the transition
black liner/mascara

Cheeks:
Poised

Lips:
Reel Sexy with Toast liner. I was supposed to wear La Vie En Rouge with this look, but couldn't find it. I might wear it tomorrow to round out my coral/pink looks b/cI haven't put together my vampypurple looks yet....

 

[sagehen]

@prettypackages - my hair was just a custom shade I wanted to try on me (I did it on a friend's hair and before I was done I warned her I would be trying the mix on myself)..I just added a violet filter to the shade I had planned to dye it anyway and I was pleased with the results. I like the Cargo foundation...OK. It is a nice weekend foundation for when you have the time to touch up. My shade is a bit too red so it needed to be corrected but it is a good light-to-medium coverage. It needs to be set with powder. I wanted to try it, but I won't repurchase.

 

[Prettypackages]

Very cool.... I'm impressed with your skills.

 

[Medgal07]

Hey there, didn't make it to the store, had another migraine Sat nite and Sunday....... but I found this



Kelly, Greta, and Grace swatch... Greta is more purple, Kelly is a pink coral, Grace is a red/pink coral. Natalie looks closer to Kelly in a few pics I've seen.

OMG, I want them all....
Thank you!!! I think I'll get it. Bobbi Brown has a taupe shade that I LOVE. I call it the Notorious of e/s. So I might have to get that, especially if it is at Sephora. I NEED Cargo Yukon. NEEEED IT! Maybe we can do a taupe/brown e/s week. Or would that be too boring? My fave themes are when we have to create a look around the same color.


Thank you, trying to get things in order so I that I can. You know like food prepped, makeup and clothes for the week organized. So all I have to do is come home and workout. I quit smoking, I think this is day 28, and I've gained 15 pounds in that time frame. I know what is was, so I'm not too worried about losing it, but it's time to get focused, ya know. #rambling

Very pretty!

So proud of you for putting down the ciggs Pretty!!! It's probably a lovely hair color that I'm trying really hard to envision---I think I have some idea.

Hey ladies! I'm ready for Purplberryvamp Week! I have all my purples for the week and will wear my berries during pink week. This thread has been popping over the last few weeks and I can't keep up.lol. I'm glad that more people are participating with the thread though. That's bad for me because Someone always post something thwts new to me and then I have to buy it. I have no self control. I have been intentionally staying off the site because I need to rein in my makeup spending plus I needed to buy Christmas gifts. A few days ago, I was lurking in the Chanel spring 2015 thread. Needless to say, I ended up buying some Chanel lip products (not for spring though). Anyway, this is what I intend to wear this week: Primer: Korres anti-aging primer Foundation: UD naked foundation in 11.0 Concealer: Nars amande (underage) and cafe (blemishes) Setting powder: KGD finishing powder Blush: LaFemme Bordeaux or Purple passion Highlighter: Dior Amber Diamond Contour: Sleek dark contour kit Eyeliner: Stila stay all day Mascara: Armani Eyes to Kill (I hope) I have no clue what to wear for eyeshadow. Any suggestions color-wise? Maybe I could do a brown smokey eye?
