Sage I hope today is a little bit better, and I hope your 'anger haul' is just what the doctor ordered. I'm eager to hear all about your
OK stress haul was this ( I canceled the Macy's cart because the item I wanted the most was not in stock): NYX Pressed setting powder, Banana NYX eyebrow pomade, Brunette and Chocolate NYX slide on pencil, Jet Black PTR 21st anniversary set (SUCH a good value) NARS lip gloss in Greek Holiday, Striptease and Guyane the LASplash HP-themed lip stains a Dooney and Bourke tote bag from the 2014 Star Wars marathon at Disneyland The kid just had the nerve to call and ask for money for printer ink...ummm, print it in the library? Walk through the snow in those new LL Bean boots you just got for Christmas. How 'bout that. I used her care package money to buy me a buncha new gel pens (I LOVE Sakura Gelly Roll pens) and the new Black Radiance Eye Appeal palettes. On topic, I have been very on and off with wearing lipstick, but today I am redoubling my efforts to work through my stash. This is helping with the building of my Inventory Control Document. @Prettypackages: Happy Belated Birthday!
Great haul Sage!!!! ENJOY!!! Some kids just need a bit of tough love---I remember those times like it was yesterday. Just know that it will get better!!!
pbi: I would love an eyeshadow challenge. I am in such a rut. Since the New Year, I have been using 2 neutral palettes and 4 Cargo eyeshadows, over and over again. I bore myself.[COLOR=0000FF]Hi Pretty!! You're quite welcome re: the birthday wishes. If I'm adopting you I should know about your birthday right?[/COLOR]:haha: [COLOR=0000FF]What did you do for your big day???[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]We weren't doing pinks & reds. I think I mentioned that I was going to try to do that for February, but ended up doing some of everything.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] Shall we do an eye/eyeshadow challenge next month???? Any suggestions??? [/COLOR]
Sounds good. I've been trying to use a different palette each week. I've got too many palettes that I've only used once or just swatched. Is that going to stop me from buying more though? Most likely not lolHi Pretty!! You're quite welcome re: the birthday wishes. If I'm adopting you I should know about your birthday right?What did you do for your big day???

or should we go with a different palette or color combo per day---the different combo would accommodate anyone with more singles from which they'd like to construct eye looks. We could include green looks for St Patricks Day next month too if you like.Sounds good. I've been trying to use a different palette each week.

I'm easy either way! I'd definitely up from green looks for St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish, but I do love me some green hehe.Well we can't have that Sage!! Shall we go with a single color...........

It's alleged that everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day

BEAUTIFUL!! This is your color Katred. Wait, I think I said that about your pink lookI would totally be down for a green shadow theme for St. Patrick's Day! I usually try to do a look for it anyway, because I'll use any excuse to bust out my green eye shadows.
I have to admit that I fell off the "no repeats" lipstick train a bit recently, largely because my lips undertook a sort of winter rebellion, meaning that if I did wear lipstick, there weren't many formulas that I could get away with. The only one that really worked while they were at their worst was the Armani Rouge Ecstasy. All others, even formulas that I normally find wonderfully soft and forgiving like Bite Luminous Creme or the new Dior Baume, were off limits. So there were a couple of repeats in there while I tried to figure out what would work. Today, of course, I'm wearing Nars Vivien for the second time this year, but just because it's such a stunning colour and everything else I have on is Nars, so I figured I'd just go with it.
Today's look features the new Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation, which is already impressing me in terms of its coverage and lasting ability, plus I've gone back to my HG concealer, Nars Radiant Creamy in Vanilla. On my eyes I'm wearing Nars St. Paul de Venice eye shadow duo (with Mac Dazzlelight along the brow bone and Illamasqua Precision Gel liner). I'm not one to believe in universal colours, but I think this shadow duo is pretty nearly a must have for blue-eyed people. I'm also wearing Nars Outlaw blush with Hourglass Luminous Light on my cheeks. And Vivien is the lipstick of the day. Absolutely love this cooler purple-berry shade and it reminds me that there are still several Audacious ladies I need to bring home with me.
Here's how the whole thing came together:
Pretty as usual! I have to check out Vivien in person when next I can. I love the undertone in it. I was glad to read your review about the new NARS foundation in that thread. I'm definitely going to pick up a sample and give it a try.I would totally be down for a green shadow theme for St. Patrick's Day!
