Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[katred]

​Katred I love this look on you. First of all your eyes just jump off the page and almost assume the color of your top---stunning. You look like an innocent little 25 year old!!!
The lipstick is very becoming too!!!

Thank you very much ladies.

@Shars I definitely recommend checking out a YSL counter with a full assortment of their Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks, because the colour assortment is phenomenal. One of the surprises is that they have possibly the best range of purple lipsticks around. They don't have a very light lavender, but they have a lot of options throughout the rest of the purple spectrum.

@Medgal07 Wow. No one has ever told me I look innocent before. I'll take it!

Here's my final wrap up for the colours of January:

Jan. 1 Armani Rouge Ecstasy 405 Sultan (muted red-orange)
Jan. 2 Armani Rouge Ecstasy 404 Spice (bright, fruity red)
Jan. 3 Guerlain Rouge G 76 Gracy (warm pink)
Jan. 4 n/a
Jan. 5 Mac Viva Glam Rihanna 2 (shimmery taupe)
Jan. 6 Mac lustre Lustering (watermelon candy pink)
Jan. 7 Nars Audacious Vivien (purple berry)
Jan. 8 Hourglass Fawn (coral rose nude)
Jan. 9 Nars Audacious Charlotte (deep cool red)
Jan. 10 Mac Cremesheen Play Time (medium lavender purple)
Jan. 11 Guerlain Kiss Kiss Red Strass (candy apple red with gold shimmer)
Jan. 12 Dior Rouge Baume Coquette (cool rose pink)
Jan. 13 Rouge Bunny Rouge Succulence of Dew Fluttering Sighs (glossy peach)
Jan. 14 Urban Decay Revolution Manic (red plum)
Jan. 15 Chanel Rouge Allure Coquette (pinky coral)
Jan. 16 Le Metier de Beauté Color Core Kona (vampy reddened purple)
Jan. 17 Guerlain Rouge Automatique Shine 762 Rendez-Vous (soft orchid pink)
Jan. 18 Rouge Bunny Rouge Succulence of Dew Dissolved in Dreams (bright pink coral)
Jan. 19 Mac Cremesheen Style Curve (medium purple)
Jan. 20 Rouge Bunny Rouge Colour Burst Watch Out, Eve! (warm pinky nude)
Jan. 21 Armani Rouge Ecstasy 603 Urban Nude (cool browned purple)
Jan. 22 Mac l/g Atmospheric (sheer shimmery pink)
Jan. 23 Guerlain Rouge Automatique Samsara (deep plum red)
Jan. 24 Guerlain Rouge G 28 Genna (vibrant orange red)
Jan. 25 n/a
Jan. 26 Guerlain Rouge G 78 Gladys (bright cool fuchsia)
Jan. 27 Mac Satin Runaway Red (Ruby red)
Jan. 28 Guerlain Rouge Automatique 171 Attrape-Coeur (bright coral)
Jan. 29 Mac l/g Strawberry Blonde (shimmery strawberry pink)
Jan. 30 Chanel Rouge Coco Caractère (brown plum)
Jan. 31 YSL Rouge Pur Couture 39 Pourpre Divin (cool-toned deep purple)

I've started off February with a BANG and am wearing Guerlain Rouge Parade, certainly one of my boldest shades. Of course, this only makes my over-reliance on Guerlain that much clearer. I just can't stop wearing them, especially since they feel so lovely on my lips! I am doing a good job of saving my Nars Audacious lipsticks and my Rouge d'Armanis. Still seeing how far I can push this before I absolutely must allow myself a repeat. Of course, there will be new additions to incorporate as well. I already have Nars Vera on the way to me and I suspect that there will be additions from the Armani Fuchsia Maharajah collection.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

I will definitely check out the YSL lip line when next I can. My friend swears by their Rouge Volupté Shines. No. 19 Fuchsia in Rage over Mac's Heroine liner is her favourite lip combo!

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! It is so cold and snowy and I just want to lay in bed and watch tv. I've been quite successful at doing just that. Last week, I wore: Mac Rebel, Rimmel Show Off l/s in Solstice, Burt's Bees lip crayon in Napa Vineyard and L'Oreal Extraordinaire lip stain in Dancing Rose. I can't remember what I wore one day. I usually put each day's lipstick in my work tote and then put all the lip products away to avoid reusing them. "Usually" was the operative word. Lol. I don't know which makeup I'll wear this week but all the talk about the Mac Proenza blushes in the Mac Toledo thread makes me want to pull out Sunset Beach or Ocean City.

 

[sagehen]

I am wearing LaFemme lip stain in Blood. In church. I may be the only one wearing bright lipstick...where are all the younger women today? Did I miss a memo? rest of face: FACE: ELDW fdn, 5W2 Rich Caramel ELDW powder, Intensity 5 MAC studio finish concealer, NW40 Mac sculpting powder,definitive MAC shading powder, warm light LaFemme blush, Rust EYES: LaFemme e/s: Pink Beige on lid, Dark Brown in crease, Brown for transition, black in outer crease ABH Dipbrow, Auburn/Dark Brown Rimmel GlamEyes mascara, Extreme Black

lol!! If it's any consolation, I wore Mac's Fashion revival lipstick to church today with a gold, black and baby pink winged liner lol!

Sorry I can't multi-quote---the button doesn't even show up at the moment. That Fuchsia combo sounds pretty. I'm saving my fuchsia
lippies for later in the year---well I'm trying to---no telling how that will turn out.

 

[meka72]

@Shars and @Sagehen, at least y'all made it to church today. Plus, your makeup doesn't sound too much for church. According to my friend, I usually run afoul of Sisfer O'Dell's church standards so you may not want to listen to me. Lol. Sage, have you had any problems with the tops of your LaFemme products being stuck? The top of my Russet blush won't come off and I've tried my damndest t get that thing off. I might try a screwdriver next

 

[meka72]

@Katred and @Medgal, I applaud your organization given your list of January lipsticks. I just throw it in a bag. Lol. Katred, thanks for putting Fuschia in Rage on my radar. I'll look for it this weekend when I go to Nordstrom. I love the pic that you posted too!

 

[Medgal07]

lol!! If it's any consolation, I wore Mac's Fashion revival lipstick to church today with a gold, black and baby pink winged liner lol!

You go Shars!!! I love the eye look. My latest obsession is with the new Givenchy Prisme Quatuor Eyeshadow palettes. I purchased two and now I'm going back for
two more. Those and the Armani Eye Tints have gotten my undivided attention.

​Take a look at the Givenchy E/S palettes:

LOL not Sister O'Dell! She has her eye on you! I haven't had any problems so far with my LaFemme tops, I say with my fingers crossed.

​Thanks Mango---I'm maintaining lists by the month and it's easy to do because I keep an inventory document from which I merely copy & paste the lippies as I use
them, Then I change the text to red of the lippie that I've used. When I look at the inventory document I can see very quickly, the lippies that I've already worn.

RE: innocence. I see we both missed two days last month. I'm smitten with Guerlain too Katred---so much so that I'm trying not to wear them. I fear it won't last and I'll be clamoring for new ones. The difference in the amazing feel of the lipsticks when worn is so apparent when wearing other lipsticks that are in their own right really nice, but they just can't hold a candle to Querlain
and even some other high end brands.

I hope your weekend is going well too!

Your list is awesome too Shars.

Oh I think I love the weekend that you're having Meka. I'm so over winter. Beyond fun clothing like boots & cashmere sweaters there's not much else to love about it

By all means, pull out your amazing bright blushes---no makeup rules----we need the brights to help get us through winter.

You wear your brights Sage!!! Good for you!!!! I like your eye look!!!

Should I really be looking at this link Meddy? lol I like the look of Inattendu and Braisse but I need to say no to drugs... There are sooo many eye palettes on my wish list. I need to seek prayer next Sunday!

 

[Medgal07]

My church is pretty open when it comes to stuff like that lol. I'm in the dance group so we go allll the way out with colours on Sunday mornings haha. Tell Sister O'Dell to have a seat. God made those colours for a reason looool.

Amen Shars!!!! Braise is so amazing---I'm wearing it for the second day in a row. I have 5 palettes on my
list---pray for me too Sister Sage. Maybe we should be calling Sister O'Del!!!

I want this Viseart brights palette, those Charlotte Tilbury ones, the NARS dual intensity, the Tarte matte palette (Tartelette?), a Sugarpill one... my days. I also want to try the new MUFE artist shadows... *sigh*. I only have 2 eyes lol

 

[meka72]

I want so many eyeshadow palettes. I want Chanel Vendome. I want a couple of the Givenchy palettes. I want the Charlotte Tilbury Vintage Vamp palette. And I usually run out of time to do eye makeup beyond eyeliner

 

[Medgal07]

But when you have time you will use them!
Vintage Vamp & The Rebel from Charlotte Tilbury for me. Also Burberry Rose and two more Givenchy---Tentation
and Impertinence

I counted my current number of palettes---I don't deserve any more!!!!

Me either!

Will that stop me, though? Most likely not!

My cart runneth over with palettes at t his very moment! I had the audacity to order a lipstick----Chanel reformulated their Rouge Coco line and I gave in to an Email that
gave the back-story of the names of the lipsticks---they're named after people who held significance in Coco's life. I chose Arthur, described as romantic shade of red.
I think I'll use my shades of pink & red this month, although I started the month with MAC Ravishing, a peachy coral that looks totally orange on me.

My friend has challenged me and some others to a pink lip a day challenge for the whole of this month. I think she is asking for too much lol! I may need to do a palette a week challenge though. I find myself defaulting to the same ones.

you know my makeup drawer is falling apart due to excess weight of palettes....i think there is a real problem to be grappled with here. real. problem.

one of my favourite lip combos this past week has been nars joyous red with illamasqua torment lipliner. it was truly fantastique. in case you are wondering, i wore high society and outlaw with that particular combo.

today i am not really loving my makeup...i'm on the road so it's a little mish mash and i was sleepy. not the best. but yesterday was worse! LOL...
