Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Jaymuhlee]

Hello, ladies! On Monday I got the call for a second interview! We scheduled it for yesterday afternoon and it went well. It was super casual, much more than the first, so I'm a little unsure but trying to stay positive! Things are still in limbo with the prospect of a third round? Hopefully they just get it over with and hire me already! April 25th-30th: Lipstick: Givenchy Rose Précieux Givenchy Framboise Velours NARS Barbara MAC Plum Bright Tom Ford Guillermo (sadly, I think it's too brown for me) YSL Corail in Touch (14) Blush: NARS Torrid NARS Amour Laura Mercier Ritual Hourglass Ethereal Glow YSL Kiss & Blush Prune Impertinente (11) Becca Soufflé Lychee/Opal I thought the timing would work out so I'd be done with lipsticks as I ran out of powder blush, that way I could use my K&Bs on both my lips and cheeks, but I still have 3-4 lipsticks left before I get there. Oh well! Also, I need to profess my LOVE for LM Ritual. I used it as my bronzer, blush and eyeshadow on Monday and I couldn't get over how sun-kissed I look. I paired it with NARS Barbara and did not want to wash my face.

 

[Jaymuhlee]

Ha! I'm on the lower end of the spectrum, too. I have 11.

i'm with you and jaymuhlee. i'll check, but i think i definitely don't have enough for more than 14 days of highlighters.
but, that's ok, i dont mind an easier challenge...i can recirculate through them for the month.
maybe a reason to get some new highlighters? eeep!

i should post a recap of my blushes...i think i actually managed to wear 30 blushes last month!

Maybe it might help me to use my two highlighters more. New highlighters? Uh-oh lol Glad you got to keep with the blush challenge. I'm sure you have some great selections. I think I have six blushes lol

That's ok [@]Medgal07[/@] lol I still tune in to see what you ladies are wearing and I haven't used my highlighters in a long time lol Somehow I just knew you could do this month, easy-peasy lol No need for embarrassment! It's lovely :frenz:

This interview process sounds pretty nerve racking Jay. Hang in there!!!

OMG----I am so right there with you regarding LM Ritual---it looks frightening in the compact---even ugly. When I first opened it I thought, Oh what have I done!!!
When I tried it I was completely blown away. I LOVE it too Jay!!!!


I guess this was a bad call????

I did

And don't be embarrassed - I have a month worth too! Maybe everyone here should join the Highlighter thread

 

[sagehen]

I will not be able to get started on this challenge until tomorrow but I look forward to wearing my Shea Moisture illuminating powders and breaking out my Summer Opal for the first time.

 

[katred]

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been absent this month. I had a book out at the beginning of April and things seem to have been busy since then. I have been reading everyone's looks and challenge results, though. And everything else. Happy to dedicate at least part of the month to highlighters, although I'm pretty sure that I don't have enough (for once) to do a whole month. I have continued to stick with the lippie challenge and I my only repeats from last month to this one were new shades (mostly Armani). These challenges really do make me come up with new ideas to try out. I'm having to make lists of looks I'm planning to try!

 

[Shars]

I almost forgot. A few weeks ago we talked about having 'HIGHLIGHTER' month. If everyone is up for it, tomorrow Friday May 1 will be the start of a different highlighter each day, for the month!!! I'm actually looking forward to this one because I get lazy and reach for the same few highlighters. I think I'll go from my oldest products to my newest ones.
I don't think I have 31 highlighters (please don't make me count lol) but I'd still be up for reaching for a different one each day. I have a couple new ones that I have only swatched

Also, I need to profess my LOVE for LM Ritual. I used it as my bronzer, blush and eyeshadow on Monday and I couldn't get over how sun-kissed I look. I paired it with NARS Barbara and did not want to wash my face.

Yay for a good second interview. Fingers crossed you will get the job!!! Between you and Meddy, I have to read your posts about LM Ritual with one eye closed. I still want to get Indiscretion as well. Holy overload!

April seems to have been a busy month for lots of us. You said you had a book out.... are you a writer?

 

[Prettypackages]

They are! I grabbed Secret Affair and Bed of Roses.They're not colours we haven't seen but the texture is really, really nice. I think @Vineetha grabbed them too.

that's exciting and I completly read that wrong. I thought she said book out, like go out of town... geesh.

 

[Medgal07]

No need for embarrassment! It's lovely

Thanks AWS but It's also telling--------Meddy has an addiction to highlighters!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I did

And don't be embarrassed - I have a month worth too! Maybe everyone here should join the Highlighter thread

Yay-----thank you for stepping forward my fellow HA (highlighter addict). They will have enough in a very short time it that join that thread!!!!

I will not be able to get started on this challenge until tomorrow but I look forward to wearing my Shea Moisture illuminating powders and breaking out my Summer Opal for the first time.

I had never heard of these before Sage. I looked them up and they're beautiful. Perhaps I shouldn't have looked

Glad all is well Katred!!!! I think rotating back to highlighter number one, once you've reached the last of your highlighters is the way everyone has decided to go.

 

[Medgal07]

LOL, I still really like it. I got lazy and stopped using the oil and my face is an oil slick again.

Really??? Ok, I think I'm picking this up tomorrow.

Geez, I know the wait is frustrating, bbbbbbbbut, if they want you for a third, I think it is yours. They want you to meet someone else so they can see if they like you as much ast the other person did. I wonder why they didn't interview you with the second. During my second interview, I had two ppl interviewing me, which now that i think about it, it was pretty nerve wrecking... Felt like a good cop bad cop deal. LOL and they wanted me to meet with a third person. Who thankfully, wasn't available. I was already spent.

Let me know how you like it. I don't care for mine.

that's exciting and I completly read that wrong. I thought she said book out, like go out of town... geesh.

Yup! The book is actually my second book, but it's my first novel. (First was a collection of short stories.)
