Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[awickedshape]

Heh! So did they? Thank you Med! I loved that look. I also love Campanule, the other one I got. Error or no error, it looks so pretty on you! Thank you Jay! I've hazel eyes as well, and I just used a petrol liner with Olivine to make them pop more! I used a combo of Chanel Revelation cream blush with MAC's Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel (with Campanule on the eyes and Play it Soft Huggable on my lips) yesterday. Today I'm wearing just a very boring, very simple face with no highlighter at all, but I've got just three to go! Yay!

Thanks, [@]Anneri[/@]! Olivine and Campanule are two great shades. I liked Olivine on you.

May 10th-13th Lips: Bite Matte Crème Lip Crayon Amaretto YSL Kiss & Blush Orange Fougueux (4) Flower Coral Floral Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Tulip - balm counts when it’s this pigmented! Blush: LM Ritual - I can’t be stopped! YSL Kiss & Blush Orange Fougueux (4) Urban Decay Rapture Becca Beach Tint Lychee Highlighter: Top Shop Glow Highlighter Gleam Top Shop Glow Highlighter Polished ColourPop Butterfly Beach Hourglass Luminous Light - I don’t consider the HG powders as more than finishing/setting powders but it gave enough sheen for a day at my local coffee shop! Five more highlighters to go! All of which I've never applied to my face lol. Tom Ford Pink Glow Eye & Cheek Compact, Chanel Dentelle Précieuse, Chanel Camelia de Plumes, MAC Soft and Gentle, which is still unused, and Too Faced Candlelight Glow. I just can't tell if I'll like the last two and I'd rather have them be BN if I'm going to hand them off to a friend/CB them. I know a few of you said I'd love S&G in the highlighter thread. Ack!

That thread sounds dangerous lol

I have been wearing my Shea Moisture highlighters this week, in Vanuatu Nude and Havana Sunrise. I plan to dig out my old Fashion Fair Illuminating Powder in Earth too. BUT, My Becca Opal pressed is coming tomorrow, so...all bets are off.

Hey Sage. How do you like the Shea Moisture ones and what are they like?

I loved your look, [@]mkoparanova[/@]! I haven't touched my TF Eye and Cheek compact yet but Friday will be the day. I'll probably do something soft and romantic along those same lines. I wrote my reply then saw yours, [@]Medgal07[/@]! Ha! Most of my cold symptoms are subsiding so I'm getting better! I'll probably never be without sniffles though. Chanel Olivine is so pretty! I have hazel/green eyes, and I know people always say not to match your es with eye color, but I love greens! I love how you've stretched your highlighter collection, [@]awickedshape[/@]! You're making me consider that Peach Mosaic. I've also been looking at BB Nectar shimmer brick but I think that guy is similar to the highlight in the TF compact. Whoops! I meant you AWS!!

Yay, you're using your Chanel Summer goodies!

 

[mkoparanova]

Well the highlighters really require so a small amount and they look really pretty on you.

Glad you're enjoying Chanel Lumiére d' ete-----a lot of people were put off by the color, which by the way is a
highlighter for me. Your eyes look very pretty!!!

Brilliant minds Jay!!!!!!

Awesome selection Jay. I'm like you---I have to try to stop myself from using Ritual - what an amazing bronzer!!!
I'm glad this challenge is compelling you to use your untouched highlighters. I'm eager to hear what you think of
them.

I have Campanule too but I have not yet used it. I will soon, hopefully w/ Chanel Stylo Yeux WPLL Eyeliner
Orchidee. I love the look you described, especially w/Play it Soft.

Thank you! I think I was one of the first people who were put off but I was pleasantly surprised that it's not orange on me! It's a very subtle bronzer and it gives my skin a nice warmth.



As for Nectar, I'll admit that I've had it since the beginning of last summer and I still haven't used it

 

[Shars]

Very pretty, lovely and natural. I love it!!!!

When i looked at Nectar a few weeks ago, I told myself that I didn't need it. So is what I hear you saying is, "Meddy you need Nectar

Because it's not an exact
dupe for the new TF highlighter.

Yes Shars---do we need this?
Looks like we need it

I think we do!

 

[awickedshape]

Today I used the lighter cheek colour from TF Pink Glow with the L'Oréal butterfly mascara and NARS Audrey Audacious lipstick. Meh.

Oh yes. I remember that---you had a lot to say!!! Just kidding---I don't remember what I had for breakfast

I hope you get to use Nectar soon. It's just gorgeous!!!

Hey Sage. How do you like the Shea Moisture ones and what are they like?

I like them. I mean, I am not a hardcore highlight lover, because I am oily and have huge pores, but these are sheer, but shimmery, no obvious glitter and have a good number of shades. My favorite is Vanuatu Nude (a truly nude shimmer on me), then Boracay Hibiscus (coppery pink shimmer) and Havana Sunrise (golden shimmer), then the others. I also like that they come with a soft brush that applies them beautifully - keeps my from applying too much.

Okay. I'll have to give at least one of them a try. I'm liking the description of Boracay Hibiscus so may go with that one first.

I think we do!
Done!

I ordered it last night.

I'm going to see if I can grab it instore when I'm stateside next week. That'll be faster than ordering even though I'll miss out on the 16% cash back from Saks

ETA: Saks is back down to 8% booo!!

Yes...it went back down last night but that was still a good enough deal---Nordies is only 3%!!!!!

Thank you!

...and you underestimate your beauty!!!!!!

Okay. I'll have to give at least one of them a try. I'm liking the description of Boracay Hibiscus so may go with that one first.

If you like the idea of Boracay Hibiscus, look at Ceylon Cinnamon too. And I dunno about other places, but my area Targets are putting those powders on clearance, so you might want to check them out sooner than later.
