Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[meka72]

Happy belated birthday @Prettypackages! I hope you had a wonderful day.

@katred, you look great! I need to check out more of the Audacious lippies. Fanny is lonely at my house.

@Medgal07 and @sagehen, I don't mind an eyeshadow challenge. I haven't worn eyeshadow in at least 3 weeks yet I keep collecting palettes. Lol.

I'm staying true to the lipstick challenge although I haven't been posting. I will likely cheat next week so that I can use up the Dior lip gloss samples.

I dunno if I quoted you correctly, but the Star Wars thing at Disneyland is a series of runs up to a half marathon, any or many of which you can participate in, over a designated weekend. The next one is in 2016, I believe. You get extra stuff if you do the Rebel Challenge and complete multiple races. It's just a lot of fun. People come in costume and things. I can't believe I found this bag - it was gone like a flash from the Disney Stores and sites. I took it as an omen. I was with my nephew for his birthday and I saw it in the window, and it was like a light was shining from the heavens on it lol.

I'm so glad that you spent that designated daughter money on yourself. I may have told you about my daughter changing her major from pre-business to something random. I told her to stay on the pre-business track in case she changed her mind. Needless to say, she changed her mind and was conditionally accepted into the business school because she was short one class (econ). I told her up front that I would not be paying for summer school because she did exactly what I told her NOT to do and she was an adult and had to accept the consequences of her actions. She had alot of tough love in college. Lol.

AMEN!!!

Well since Meka is amassing e/s palettes, how about doing an E/S Palette a Day Challenge for the month of
MARCH?????? If you don't want to use a different palette, just do a different eye look/day. St Patrick's Day
will be green looks for everyone.

Then it was a sign Sage!!

This is totally doable. How many of us have enough palettes to do one a day for a month? Asking, not judging..

Hi, what's the look for the rest of February? Today I'm wearing the two green shades from YSL Lumieres Majorelle, the Burberry Gold Glow highlighter and Lancome's Miss Coquelicot lipstick over my moisturizer and D&G Luminous Foundation

Anyway, and on topic, I have been keeping up with the lip challenge but have not been wearing any looks good enough to post, although I halfway want to post a photo of the allergic mess my face has become over the last 10 hours. BTW ladies, CG LashBlast Fusion Waterproof is NOT waterproof. Just trust me and save yourselves the drama.

I know this is a week old - At least most of her stuff can be hidden. The tramp stamp, belly rings, those won't be seen unless she chooses to wear a crop top. I know it doesn't make it much better but hopefully it will ease your mind some. And why can't they be taken out? They'll just heal back, as far as I know (I know nothing about piercings though). If she's doing it on your dime, make her let them heal up! and if she still wants them, let her get them with her own money!

College is definitely a time you want to do something a little crazy. All you can do is hope she got it out of her system now.
You ought to take the allowance and care package money, buy what you want, and send her pics of your goodies!!

I had hoped to wait until the Sephora sale to pick up Emeraude but maybe I'll pick it up sooner rather than later.

I certainly don't. Lol. But I don't mind rotating through my pre-made palettes and making bootleg palettes with my single eyeshadows.

***Whispering sheepishly---just counted. I can do a palette a day for 2 1/2 months.

That's perfect Meka!!!!

What ever you like AWS! We're still doing the different lipstick /day challenge and March will be the same, but in addition we will do a different e/s palette or
eye look /day. We'll wear green e/s looks on St Patrick's Day, March 17. Like the lovely look you're sporting here. Very pretty!!!

Whether I could do more than a month would depend on whether we count Nars duos as palettes or not. Actually, I have a feeling I could do over a month anyway, since I have a lot of older LE Mac palettes. I'm still envious of yours, though.

I'm (almost) ashamed - I can do almost 2 months lol. Oh God, save me! They're still palettes out there that I NEED want.

I counted my duos but not singles like Color Tattoos, pigments etc.

I 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:

OMG! Soo gorgeous Katred!!!
