Hi! I played with my LMdB Fashion Palette this morning. It's a really nice "Everyday" palette. The shadows feel so great; I have a couple of kscopes, but never had a single before. These shadows allegedly feel like the singles since they are. The pans are really big and the quality is amazing!

Hey ladies! I wanted to come post what I've worn over the last couple of days or I would forget. I'm loving everyone's looks!

Yesterday, I wore the Missy Lynn palette from BH Cosmetics. I used the cooler toned purple (in the middle of the second row) with the matte dark brown shade (far right on the top row) in the crease and the lightest shade (far left top row) on the brow and inner corner. I really liked how the look came out and the quality of the eyeshadows. Because I don't have enough palettes for every day of the month, I'll go back and use the remaining shades in this palette. I also used LaFemme Bordeaux blush and Mac Fashion Revival lipstick.

Today, I wore the ABH lavish palette. I used pink sapphire on the lid, sienna in the crease and cream on the brow bone. I'll also revisit this palette to use the other, unused shades. I wore a different LaFemme blush and Mac Lingering Kiss.

I have no clue which palette I'll wear tomorrow.

@meka: 1. Do you have your LaFemme Blushes in a palette (not challenge-related) 2. Is Lingering Kiss similar to Living Legend? I missed Lingering Kiss and am trying to feel better about it.

Today I used the Naked 3 palette (Liar on the lid, Nooner in the crease, Strange as a highlight) with Chanel Ardoise liner. I used NARS Deep Throat blush, Chanel Poudre Signee highlighter, and Marc Jacobs Kiss Kiss Bang Bang lipstick. Honestly, my favorite today was the lipstick. It wore well, faded to a stain, and looked great all day. I'm having to use all of my willpower not to pick up Eat Cake in the Marc Jacobs gel formula!

Beautiful look! What lipstick do you have on?

I "sort of" wore two palettes today, but I just put on one shade from each, so I'm really cheating. I just received my Armani Eye Tint in Cold Copper, though, and I couldn't NOT try it out. (I used colours from the Armani Orient Excess and Neo-Black palettes.)

Yesterday, I wore Nars Dolomites, one of my favourites from last year and Tuesday I pulled out Mac Lady Grey, which I hadn't worn in quite a while. It's actually a really nice take on a soft, watercolour type look.

Lady Grey:





Dolomites:





I decided to try to do more neutral lips the last couple of days, instead of the brights that I normally go with. So far so good.

Today I'm wearing Sacha FixIt powder, YSL Bleus Lumière with the orange shade from the Arista (subsidiary of Sacha Cosmetics) Tequila Sunrise duo on my eyes, and added Maybelline OnexOne Volum Express waterproof mascara (meh) later on. Wearing Sleek Pan Tao blush a bit heavily on my cheeks and MAC Richer, Lusher creemsheen glass after a long gloss hiatus.

I'm a little "meh" about it but am cheered up by mah shoes lol

Love your colorful look AWS------from head to toe!!!!!!

I think I'm all caught up. I'm loving all of the looks and your creativity surrounding your palettes or lack there of. Just make sure you're having fun.
Monday was the last day of makeup for me this week. I was makeup free from Tuesday through Friday because I was sick. I've missed makeup and since I'm on the mend now, I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. As far as makeup goes, there's nothing worse than having loads of new product and not being able to use it. The best news of all is that spring is only 13 days away.

hope you feel better soon medgal! what kind of fun goodies have you got waiting for you?

i haven't been wearing anything particularly exciting this past week, just trying to make sure i made it out the door in time for work!
i got some new lip products the other day - nars niagara, a bite dual ended lipstick (one side is bright orange called 'tangerine', other side is fuchsia 'lingonberry'), and the sephora birthday gift is also a duo of lip pencils...cruella and rikugien. so lots of new lip things to play with as well...

i think the bite lipstick was a complete impulse purchase. i don't have much need for neon lip colours at the moment so not sure what i was thinking. i'll play around though, and see if i can mix them with something to subdue them a little...or just blot them a bit.

anyway, between these and bao bao i've definitely increased my lip challenge a full week!

 

[Shars]

I hope your lips have healed Shars.

They often are AWS

PIC 1: So nice Mrs B. I love Prelude!

PIC 2: Love the matching eyes & lips...so pretty!

Yay Knope---I thought I was the only one giving Ardoise any love---it's so great!!! Your look sounds really pretty!

PA and Audrey are a match made in heaven---so pretty on you.

Very pretty!!! Your lipstick is so becoming-----what is it?

Thank you! They're on the mend.

 

[Medgal07]
