Dim light face powder and blacktrack liner and zoom fast mascara and guerlain brush balls I hope this how it goes I'm a first timer
EXCELLENT!!! Glammy. If you use gloss in lieu of lipstick you can totally count it. I only wear gloss over lipstick and I don't wear it all the time, so I'm not counting it.
What ever works with your makeup practices is just fine.

hi ladies! :wavey: have been keeping up with the thread and reading about your adventures, but not posting much of late. just wanted to chime in with my yesterday's lipstick of the day - sophisto, with vino lipliner. i got that lipstick as a b2m and at first i was confused as to why i had chosen it...but it's actually a very easy to wear shade, that looks sophisticated but not in your face...so i think it's going to become a bit of a staple for me. i have been wearing a lot of repeat lipsticks, since i started a new job this past week, and i'm still sussing out the atmosphere. i did sneak in heroine on thursday, but aside from that it's been neutral pinks...lumière colour pop lipstick, Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet 07 (Nude-Ist)...that kinda thing. Strangely, the bourgeois colour should appear like a neutral rosewood, but it looks pretty bright on me. I wore it with currant lipliner in the outer corners to 'tone it down'... i also splurged and bought the artificial wilderness eyeshadows last week, so i am going to wear them tomorrow instead of a palette. they might as well be a palette, ya know?
Congratulations on the new job! I'm so glad that you got the Artifically Wild shadows- I just love them. I think of them as a quad too.
[COLOR=0000FF]  Duos totally count!!!  I only have two and I included them.  Don't be envious---Meddy is so out of control!!!:eek:hboy: [/COLOR]
I could deal with a little less control...
I'm not sure if gloss counts but I wear gloss as much as lipsticks and today I am feeling gloss 1)today I worn tom ford pink sugar lipgloss Dim light face powder and blacktrack liner and zoom fast mascara and guerlain brush balls I hope this how it goes I'm a first timer
Oh I think glosses totally count. I've pulled out a couple since my lips have been in rough shape. Today's lippie was Nars Mayflower. I'd been doing the bold lip for several days running so I decided to switch things up. It's probably the lipstick I'm the closest to finishing, so I really hope Nars doesn't start discontinuing existing shades.

I wasn't counting my glosses because I don't wear them alone----only over lipstick, if and when I do wear them, so I won't be counting them. Any one who wears them
in lieu of lipstick, by all means should count them if they want to.

Knowing that I'll only be wearing a lipstick just once this year I find myself reapplying it throughout the day----like a last fling or something!!!

Of course we don't mind. The more the merrier. Quads, duos, self-made palettes. I plan on using all of the previous. We do not do the challenges to make you feel constricted - think of them more like guidance, not rules lol.

I would love to join too! But I want to include my pigments, cream and single eyeshadows too because I never use them and I have so many gorgeous pigments! I've been using only the Chocolate Bar palette for about 4 months

That was before I got into and had access to MAC but I used to read those Archie comics growing up so that would have been a fun collection!

Today I wore Chanel Poudre Universelle compacte in Muscade (too dark for me so I have to use a light hand and also get a new damn powder lol), Chanel Plum Attraction (applied horribly with my angled blush brush so I started over and used my finger) and Chanel Foudroyante and I used the TF eye contour brush to line and do a wing with the purple middle shade from the YSL couture palette no. 9. Sucky makeup day for me. End of day eye pic

Welcome ladies! We have our themes but it's all about having fun and trying to use the lovely beautiful things we bought instead of being hoarders lol. So use whatever eye products you want for the challenge. Some of us have reluctantly admitted to having more than a month's supply of palettes (duos, quads, etc.) so we're sticking (ish) to palettes so we rotate the stash lol. Enjoy!!
