Today is the last day of our Eyeshadow Pallette challenge, and I hope everyone had fun! I missed about 5 days at the beginning of the month when I was ill, but I enjoyed this challenge. I'll post my tally after I decide which palette I'm wearing today.


Don't forget, we're starting our BLUSH CHALLENGE tomorrow. We will wear a different blush everyday, from APRIL 1 to APRIL 30!

I had a difficult month and I've worn makeup not more than 6-7 times, so the challenge is a fail for me, I'll try to be more consistent in April!
And I suggest a highlighter challenge for May

Don't beat yourself up about it Maggie---it's just makeup.
I liked immensely that I did not reach for the same few palettes or what I call my, 'favs of the moment'. I actually
used some palettes that I haven't touched in over a year, and I still have MANY that I didn't even get to at all,
some of which are new that I've never used.

I would totally agree with the highlighter challenge for May. Thank you Maggie--------Great idea!!!!!

Hey ladies, I hope you're well. Although I haven't participated much lately, I've been lurking. I've been feeling kind of blah lately. You guys have done a great job of keeping this thread moving and have posted some great looks!

Hi Meka! I was just wondering about you today. I wore a WnW palette I grabbed out of a drawer today. Something rather neutral. I plan to wear Ruby Kisses Matte Lip Lacquer in Fiesta at some point today, but it is after noon PDT, so I dunno. I so need this blush challenge starting tomorrow. I could use the highlighter challenge in May. That could be fun. eta: I got the lipstick on! Yay!

 

[Medgal07]

eta: I got the lipstick on! Yay!

Way to go Sage. Glad you're on board w/the month long blush challenge!

Hott!

 

[Jaymuhlee]

[@]Jaymuhlee[/@], good to see you! Things are quite complicated with that darn Plum and I lol I think I'll save it for the last day of the blush challenge. Which will probably be early on because I only have a relatively small amount So, you're liking MJ J'Taime?

I'm rooting for you two! I'm loving Je T'Aime! I'm trying not to look at any other shades but it's tough!

i've also recently ventured in the world of MJ...i almost was going to get je t'aime, but finally decided on blow, and will go back for je t'aime once i've played with the first! i also found the lipstick challenge (and the eye shadow palette challenge) difficult to follow since i've started my new job. hopefully now that it's getting warmer and lighter out earlier in the day, hopefully i'll be able to get myself back in the game!

Getting back in the groove of things always takes a while! You have to get Je T'Aime, it's beautiful!

Thank you Jay! Also, no need to be embarrassed! I think I wore four palettes for our palette challenge this month - talk about embarrassing! But I'll try to do lipsticks, palettes and blushes next month - we'll see how that goes... Lol!

Just restart each month along with me lol!

    [COLOR=0000FF]Hay Jay...always good to see you!!!   Thanks for hanging in there and persevering with the challenge!!!   I see you have a fondness for Givenchy lippies!  Did you happen to pick up the couture one in the floral bullet?  It's # 205 Fuchsia Irresistible and boy is it lovely.  I'll confess--the packaging really won me over!

I'd say it's more than just a fondness, I have 14 now! I actually just got the special 205 yesterday from my local Barneys. I'd stayed away from that particular shade because I thought it was close enough to Girl About Town but it's quite a bit warmer and the case?? I'm in love!

 

[Jaymuhlee]

I keep finding stuff lol Using an old L'Oréal HIP duo in Gilded with L'Oréal Lash Out Butterfly and NARS Barbara Audacious lipstick. I'll probably change the lipstick, though.

I really love the HIP duo I have, it's Electrified. Both shades are amazing! I didn't wear any quads/trios/duos this month, just my larger palettes but I'm going to keep the challenge going till I work through all my stuff. So help me!

I saw two tutorials that inspired today's look - first one was Lisa Eldridge's tutorial for a bright spring look here: http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/26746/radiantly-healthy-fresh-spring-makeup-look/#.VRWz7kZKyQE I fell in love with the Kiko liner and bought it this week. The second one this look: http://thebeautydepartment.com/2015/03/spring-makeup-inspiration/ I loved the silvery e/s and used the Kiko liner together with it.

Those two looks are so pretty! I normally stick to my black wings but I'm definitely going to try more colorful liner in the future.

Oh this made me laugh so hard!!!!

Don't be too impressed by my lists. Because I have a master list/inventory document of all of my makeup, it's very easy for me to
copy and paste the items that I wear onto the appropriate challenge document.

I like the color of Red Racer but it was uncomfortably dry---I finally put lip gloss over it. I'm gaining a real appreciation for lippies with finer formulas.

You really should send me your list and I can use it as my inspiration and current stock list. ;-)

Same here. I blame you and Katred No that's not true. I'm just unwiling to fight to make a lipstick work.
