Will have to Google highlighter placement etc lol

Will try a different lipstick next time.

I like!! For highlight, just sweep it over those gorgeous cheek bones. You can also use it to highlight the center of your forehead and down the nose bridge depending on how shimmery the highlighter is!

Thank you [@]Shars[/@]! Will try to practice more; given the theme it's the perfect time! And totally forgot my LM Peach Mosaic Shimmer Block! That's like four lol Just kidding

 

[Medgal07]

Just kidding

Oh but it really is four!!!!!!! You should try the colors individually! They work as eyeshadow too!!!

Yay lol Bringing it to work today ;-)

 

[awickedshape]

Used the rose gold shade from the LM Peach Mosaic Shimmer Block on the eyes and cheek with L'Oréal Lash Out Butterfly mascara and YSL Rose Asarine RV lipstick. Will use Guerlain Bal de Mai lipstick instead next time because of the pretty golden shimmer to it

It seems I'm back on track with the challenge!

Today's blush and highlighter combo was MAC's Born to Love (kind of an Orgasm dupe) and Guerlain Terra Ora (at least the light part of it).

I'm already bored with my highlighters - can anyone of you recommend a great one? I'm looking for something with little colour, so it won't look like a blush on me.

Yay---no more heaping of ashes on your head!!! The only pale highlighters that I can think of are NARS Albatross; MAC Soft & Gentle, Silver Dusk, Lightscapade (your signature highlighter); Burberry Gold Glow and Chanel Delice. Maybe you can pose this question in the 'highlighter thread'--------you'll probably get a much more informative response.

Funny how I always forget Mac's permanent line up! When I'm at my counter I'll definitely swatch Soft&Gentle!

Thank you Med! I'll have a look and go to hunt for swatches! The Burberry one sounds tempting, but I could only find Warm Glow, Nude Glow and Summer Glow on the German Website. Do you know how they compare?

It's easy to forget it with so many LEs! S&G is my favourite permanent highlighter in general.

 

[Medgal07]

I've had a bit of fun with new make up products over the last two days. My personal challenge is to use at least one new makeup product per week. Well I've managed two, so far this week. Our highlighter challenge is really helping me to select more than a favorite few, and I've been documenting and cross checking to avoid any highlighter repeats. Where I have failed more often than not, in terms of repeats is with my lipsticks. I'm keeping track of them but it's so hard not to reach for my favorites more than once.

Is anyone else finding this to be an issue????

Sorry Anneri---Gold Glow is the only Burberry highlighter that I own.

I agree!!! I think it was my first MAC highlighter.

 

[mkoparanova]

I agree!!! I think it was my first MAC highlighter.

It was my first highlighter and one of my first non-drugstore makeup purchases! Maybe that's why I love it so much - I didn't know what a highlighter is before it and I fell in love with it immediately

 

[Anneri]

I agree!!! I think it was my first MAC highlighter.

Ok, now I really have to swatch (and get) it.

 

[Medgal07]

Oh yes! Also, sometimes I do a look and then I realize that there's no lipstick that I haven't worn before that would be matching my MU...

Oh yes! I don't follow MAC's LEs like I used to do, but there's so many products in their line! I always think that I'm missing permanent gems!


No prob! I'll ask the ladies in the Burberry or highlighter thread.

YES! And/or I prefer a certain lipstick and usually wear it with a particular look because it just works so well.

If I were given a test on MAC's collections this year I'd fail miserably!!!

​ I'll have to make sure I wear MAC S & G this month!!!

Happens all the time. And then there're the new ones I love so much that I want to wear them all the time!

The collections that reeled me in was just the Huggables recently and the ED e/s line extension because I just love both formulas. I was interested in a few other collections, but MAC started playing hard to get in the German market and some collections are only available at particular stores which aren't in my area.

Their loss, I bought other things from other brands. *shrugs*

@ the bolded...I have been keeping up a spreadsheet of the items we have worn for challenges, but I keep having the urge to reach for certain favorites too, especially when I might be wearing a blouse that I ALWAYS wear (insert lipstick shade here) with, but I have already worn it so I have to go another way. I am wearing Shea Moisture Illuminating Powder in Vanuatu Nude today. I am glad for this month's challenge because I had gotten out of the habit of wearing highlighter, but it makes a difference. Wearing WnW Bare it All lipstick, which I do not believe I have worn this year.

I'm sticking to my guns!!!

What I find helpful is to think of a dupe or similar colour that I have to the one I tend to reach for. I think it's more hard because you associate feelings with a particular product. I think though if you've gone a bit without using the same colour, it's okay to run back to that favourite because the overall intention is to use our stuff, and that's what we've been doing!

  [COLOR=0000FF] It's very light AWS but pretty---does the color appear deeper IRL?   LOVE the vibrant lipstick on you!!!![/COLOR]

Thank you! It is subtle but I really loved it for a flash of peachy rose gold. I've only previously used the LM Peach Mosaic Shimmer Bloc once and put it away because it wasn't travel-friendly (mine is messy, so messy) but this rose gold (at the bottom) was so lovely and looked great over time. Can't wait to try it with the deeper top shade of the shimmer bloc (second from the bottom) and Guerlain Bal de Mai ☆
