Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Medgal07]

I'm definitely in for the highlighters. If nothing else it'll stop me from using my Hourglass powders every single day. Diffused Light in particular get A LOT of love. I have a lot of Mac MSFs that haven't been getting enough attention lately.

On your novel Hatred. I hope it does very well!!

I NEED this challenge. I find myself reading for the same few, which is so ridiculous!!!

 [COLOR=0000FF] Thanks AWS but It's also telling--------Meddy has an addiction to highlighters!!!![/COLOR]:haha:

Aw lol

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

I've again to profess admiration for everybody who committed to last months theme and to heap ashes on my head (again) because I totally fell of the bandwagon AGAIN!

I somehow managed to branch out and wear different blushes than the half dozen I usually wear, but then I vanished down the new lipstick hole and wallowed happily in my new Huggables. Shameful! I try to be better...

BUT! I managed at least to use a different highlighter than Lightscapade today and a blush that I haven't used in ages! Go me! (Poudree Signee de Chanel and EL Sea Star Bronzing Blush).

katred, congrats to the new book!

Jay, keeping my fingers crossed for the third interview!

Hi Pretty, AWS, shars, sage, Aradhana, Meggie and Meddy!

Hi Pretty, AWS, shars, sage, Aradhana, Meggie and Meddy!

Please don't heap ashes on your head---I love the rollers too much.

Enjoy your Huggables!!! What are your favorites?

I used Lightscapade one day last month because of you, so thank you!!!

The lipstick challenge just came to an end for me. I brought my total from 67 to 52 even though I didn't intend to downsize! It was fun to see what dupes I had and finally let go of shades I'd been holding onto that just don't work (taste, scent, tone, etc.). The CB, those 15 lipsticks, and I will soon have a date! I'm going to move onto my other lip products now. I stuck to lipstick up to this point but I'll break out my lip crayons, liquid lipsticks, gloss, and finish up combo lip/cheek stuff, too! May 1st-4th Lipstick: MAC Hearts Aflame MAC Head in the Clouds Bite Crimson MAC Go For It Blush: Becca Soufflé Raspberry/Opal YSL Kiss & Blush Rouge Libertine 6 Becca Beach Tint Raspberry Becca Beach Tint Lychee Highlighter: Laura Mercier Indiscretion Wet n Wild Hollywood Boulevard Becca Opal Estée Lauder Crystal Baby

  [COLOR=0000FF]  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!!!!

Thanks so much! I'm trying! Ritual is definitely my favorite purchase of April, well, minus my TF compact pre-order but that hasn't arrived yet...

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!

Look away if you're trying to be strong against Ritual and Indiscretion because I love both of them to pieces! And thank you!

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 us know how you like it! My first and second interviews both had two people! Not quite the good cop/bad cop scenario in either though, thankfully! The manager of the team I'd be joining if offered the job is on vacation so I'm hoping that's the only hold up.

Jay, keeping my fingers crossed for the third interview!

Thank you!

Estée Lauder Crystal Baby

Wow!!! Great job Jay!!!! I think I'll be culling my lipstick stash too, for some of the reasons that you mentioned.

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you!

I have to agree about Ritual but I have not yet tried my TF Terra & Gold Dust Bronzers. Did you ordered the eye & cheek palette, Pink Glow? You will absolutely love it!!!!

Hi Pretty, AWS, shars, sage, Aradhana, Meggie and Meddy!

Hey Anneri. I know how you feel. My routine has just been so out of whack - I've been reaching for my comfort zone products. Hopefully this week will go differently.

Too late!! Haha. I've got to book some stuff for an upcoming trip and once I've done that and they're still in stock, they'll be mine!!

 

[Medgal07]

LOL. We all have those phases. I've been meaning to use this Boscia face mask I bought at the beginning of the Sephora sale and it's still sitting in the packaging, chilling. *sigh*
I saw Indiscretion on Nordies and a couple other department stores. I wish it would come back in stock at Sephora so I can use my 10%. If not, I'm going to get it at one of the others.

Wow! That is so awesome. Congratulations!! What's the name of the new one, if you don't mind me asking? Specktra is just full of talented ladies!

I hope Indiscretion comes back Shars---I'll keep an eye out for you!!!!

It's so annoying, on some days I'm incredibly pressed for time so I either skip MU or just do a basic face, and on some I know that I'll go to the pool later or work out, and I always think 'that's not worth it - spending half an hour on MU to have to take it all over in a few hours' and that's that then.

Oh well, I managed to use a different blush and highlighter today! Blush was the Guerlain Emilio Pucci Bronzer/Blush and highlighter the MAC Marilyn one which left me completely unmoved. It's funny what happens when you dig out some oldies and use them again! Mostly it's love again for me, but with some things I really wonder what I was thinking when I got them!

 

[Medgal07]

Yes it is! I haven't worn it in a long time, so it was a pleasant surprise!



Yeah, I guess ashes on rollers aren't a good look?

I hope you liked Lightscapade!

Oh, my fave Huggables from this round are Flaming Lips and Fashion Force (which is a repro as well). But I honestly enjoy all I got!

Exactly Anneri!!! I've had those thoughts too---I've chalked it up to me getting caught up in the hype!

Day two of two lol Chanel Camélia de Plumes platine with GA Shadow eye tint, Gucci Ocean Rhapsody (black shade) and too much L'Oréal Lash Out Butterfly mascara and Guerlain Shalimar rouge automatique lipstick

Will have to Google highlighter placement etc lol Will try a different lipstick next time.

You look lovely AWS! I just sweep my highlighter over my cheekbones and that's it! For me it was Mac Pretty Baby as a blush with Perfect Topping MSF. Looked good, but slightly off because my eye look was so warm. Used an older shadowstick duo by Estee Lauder from the same collection of the Sea Star Powder which is gold and brown. Put a bit of my guerlain Terra Ora over that. A bit of a hodgepodge look...

Hi [@]Anneri[/@] Thank you! I think I am doing that and then I see it way past where I thought I stopped lol I like the sound of the shadow stick with Terra Ora!
