I was planning on getting that one! Bite are great at coming up with those little "impulse purchase" items, I find. I am a fan of exceptionally bright colour, so I think I'll probably enjoy it. Thanks for the reminder!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!
Here's my recap of lipsticks worn in February, with a photo below. Yes, I do actually try to photograph my makeup every day... And yes, I do have a bit of OCD... There were a couple of repeats (and, in fact, I'm wearing one of them AGAIN today, but it's new, so I'm cutting myself some slack):
February 1 :: Guerlain Rouge Parade (bold apple red)
February 2 :: Mac Lustre Rue d'Bois (earthy pink- limited edition from the European release of Euristocrats)
February 3 :: Rouge d'Armani Sheer #600 "Bitten" (soft plum)
February 4 :: Nars Audacious Vera (deep berry red)
February 5 :: Guerlain Kiss Kiss Cherry Pink (shimmery red berry)
February 6 :: Bite Beauty Flora Mundi (cool magenta pink- my custom shade)
February 7 :: Urban Decay Revolution Catfight (bright red pink)
February 8 :: Mac Lustre Fresh Salmon (soft orange-pink with gold shimmer- LE from Spring Colour Forecast 2010)

February 18 :: Armani Rouge Ecstasy Attitude (deep red violet)

February 21 :: Mac Lustre Radicchio (soft plum-pink- just noticed that this was the third lippie from Spring Colour Forecast 2010 that I wore... I did love that collection, but I guess that's obvious)

February 23 :: Nars semi-sheer Mayflower (soft warm pink)

I actually wore my full complement of makeup on Sunday. I chose my Chanel quint, Charming and constructed a greyed purple & gold eye-look w/
MAC Goes & Goes lipstick. I warmed Goes & Goes w/MAC lipglass in Narcissist because it seemed a bit flat. I was pleased with the look overall.
I think I'm back in the saddle!!!!

Today I'm wearing moisturizer, Sacha FixIt powder, a green and gold Avon eyeshadow duo in Gleaming Emerald (I used the gold under the browbone and it's quite powdery), Stila Make Me Blush without the gold overspray and NARS Jane lipstick

If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known you were having a breakout. I promise it's less obvious than you think. I love the colours you've been using!

:-D I didn't do a different palette today, though. I used two singles (MAC Nocturnelle and Ardency Inn Royal pigment,meh), Guerlain Cils d'Enfer and on the lips I wore MAC Mystical with Royal on top

Hey guys! I've been absent, but trying to do a different look everyday. I recently got a lot of eyeshadow so I'm having a hard time switching it up. Time to get back in the game this week.
Yesterday, I wore Clarins Garden Palette. It was pretty; won't be a "normal" everyday wear for me. Today, I wore Burberry Gold. (Thanks @awickedshape for help getting it!) I love this quad and already feel like I want to wear it all the time! I have some new Burberry singles and 2 new lmdb palettes so I should have an interesting week!

Hope you're feeling better!!!! Yes, I want to test all the new things for longer than a day! The struggle is real!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.
