Theme Makeup with a Purpose

So today is a combo of Cuir Cannage (all colours used to make a sort of golden plum smoky eye), Nars Sin blush (highlights itself), and Guerlain L'Heure Bleue. This is one of my longtime favourites, a red-berry. I'm sorry to see that Guerlain seems to be phasing out this formula, since I like the colour assortment a little more than the Kiss Kiss one. Planning on grabbing a few that I've been waffling on for a while just to make sure I don't get skippers remorse.
I absolutely love Cuir Cannage & agree that it pairs well with PurpleBerryVampy lips!!! Your lipstick is gorgeous! Does it have micro shimmer? Just stunning!
Perhaps Guerlain will come out with an even better formula!!!

thanks medgal!

i wrote that message last night, and when i tried to do a reply, it sent that message instead of letting me write a new one!

in any case, i had my interview today, and we shall see in the course of the next week or so whether i get that job. my temporary job ends sometime this week, i guess as soon as i finish up what's left to do!

i did a little bit of makeup shopping at sephora post interview - i picked up two lipsticks from kat von d, and one from bite. one of the kat von d's was a studded kiss lipstick, in bauhau5, and the other was an everlasting liquid lipstick - in luv. i actually wanted to get the bauhau5 in liquid, but there was none left. actually most of the shades i wanted were gone. cathedral, lolita, another one i can't recall. my plan for next time is to get gothica, but i'm not quite sure how/where i'm going to wear that sparkly bronze. any ideas would be welcome!

as for the taupe week/month in january, i am totally down with that!

oh and @sagehen i don't know if i updated you on my nyx purchases - i got snow white lipstick, tea rose matte lipstick, and shiva. to be honest, i got shiva purely for the name. i'm not sure how much i will wear it. lol. but tea rose i have worn and love for an easy to wear shade. oh, and for blush i picked up dusty rose - it's very nicely non sparkly and quite flattering as an everyday shade.

and the bite lipstick i got is called 'framboise'. it's berrylicious, and i have it on right now while i type and pretty much love it. i love the colour of course - bright yet somehow not in your face, and i'm really liking the orange rind flavour it has going. i might need to get more of these!

Oh, to prettypackages and anyone who wants to read it lol, I would LOVE a Taupe e/s challenge. I am up to it. Tossing that out for future reference.
Would taupe look good on me Sage? I think my eyelids would look ashy. And I've never seen ashy eyelids and don't want to see it on me. Lol.

Hmm, no 10.5, and 10 looked like I had been powdered with a donut in pics. I was thinking getting 11.0 and setting with their medium dark power (I am looking for an excuse to get the Naked powder). Maybe I will continue working through my stash. I just want a Naked foundation. This should not be so hard. We had such a go 'round about the best shade in one of the other WOC threads lol.
That UD foundation may be favorite foundation. I think that's why I haven't bought Chanel Perfection Lumiere. Oh, yeah. The price may have a little something to do with it too. Lol

OMG! I loved my eye makeup today! Yall know that's rare for me, right? I used the Laura Mercier caviar stick in cocoa on my lid, Mac brown script in my crease and Nars biarritz to my brow bone. Oh, and Mac carbon to the outer vee. I liked with the stila liquid liner as planned. Even without mascara (of course), it looked really good. I substituted Mac stereo rose for Dior Amber diamond. It was perfect with LaFemme Bordeaux blush. I wore KVD LUV liquid lipstick today. I plan to wear Mac midnight mambo and whatever that purple lip glass was that was released with it, tomorrow.
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?

Maybe we should broaden the category! We are not trying to make anyone leave the house w/ashy looking lids
lol.gif

What if we say neutral eyes for a week or month or however long we agree to---or brights or smokey, etc. In that way, participants
select the shades within that category that are flattering to them and that they're comfortable wearing.

Thoughts, suggestions & questions???????????????
