Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[mkoparanova]

Honey I'm HOMEEEEEEE!! I love the idea and starting today that's where I'll begin. I was hoping you heeded my suggestion that you ladies pick the challenge since
I was away. I LOVE THIS IDEA! I"M IN!!!

​ I hope you got some new makeup while I was away, and have some new recommendations for me

I've been wearing Chanel Sunkissed EVERYDAY that I've
worn makeup, since I purchased it.

I love this combo. Again a nod to yet another one of your recommendations----I love Nectar and took it with me on our trip! Velvet Teddy is one of my favorite MAC
nude lippies!!!

I'm late but welcome back!!

I bought some CT lipsticks and I really like them but you've probably tried them. And the rainbow balls are amazing

I'm very happy that you love Sunkissed! It's an amazing product!


I've been a bit absent in the last few days but they were filled with positive emotions and I'll have tons of happy memories

I had a lot of fun yesterday at the summer ball in my university! I completed the challenge to wear more colour - and I didn't start with something subtle

I'll post a picture tomorrow.



@Jaymuhlee congrats!! I hope you love the job!


Edit: @Medgal07 I remember reading somewhere that you were asking me if Sunkissed is permanent but I didn't have time to reply - Yes, it is!!

Yay---Maggie you're back. I need to ask you about Guerlain Luna---is it # 4 or #7 that you once posted pics of? I recently saw # 4 but hesitated because you were not
around. I've missed you but my wallet has not.

Guerlain Luna? I've posted pictures of D&G Luna

Yes I meant D & G. I had Guerlain on the brain because I ordered the summer bronzer today. My bad!!!

 

[meka72]

Totally forgot - meka would you share what You're reading? I recently started The Passage and an hooked!

 

[Shars]

Sounds like basic, but really very pretty looks Anneri!!!! This was a weird week for me too. It took me 3 days to unpack from a 7 day trip

Tell me about it! I took 3 out of the country trips between April and May and I feel so scattered!

 

[Medgal07]

I've been so all over the place recently. I need to get my life lol. I'm hoping I can start this new challenge. My office has now started a new policy on what time we need to get in to work and I am sooooo not a morning person. So it's messing with my "Makeup and Me" time. *sigh* Hopefully I can drag my butt out of bed to be able to still have my makeup time and get to work on time. I don't know why this stupid new time policy applies to me. I don't leave work until 6:30 pm anyways!

I just got done reading this Mine Readers series by Lori Brighton which reminded me of the Divergent series. I'm now about to read the Maze Runner 4 books series!

Travel can be exhausting. I used to travel for work constantly. I kept an overnight bag packed at all times. Now I just enjoy being at
home. I guess when I did it a lot it was no big deal. I can imagine how you feel Shars!!!

It really can! At least the times I did travel weren't for work but that didn't make it any less exhausting!

How was the wedding btw? I hope you and hubby had a good time.

The wedding was just beautiful, and we had a lovely time, thanks. One down, two to go!!! I'm glad we took a couple of days to our selves before and after the wedding.
The next one is in September and the 3rd one is in October. I hope that's it for a while.

Yay! I love when everything works out. I have a friend getting married in MD in October that I didn't quite plan for but I wouldn't miss it if I could take the time. She's one of my special friends. I'm hoping that's it for a while too. I swear left, right and centre my friends are all getting married and I'm here like... "So about this new TF lipstick!"

I hear you Shars. I'm less of a morning person now than I was years ago. I used to get up at 4:30 AM to get to the track to run 3 miles everyday before work. When
I'm reminded of those times, all I can say is WHAT WAS I THINKING. Now I cherish sleeping-in.......and me time Do what you can as far as the challenge goes.
I can't be creative when I'm rushed. Last night I looked over my Makeup Inventory document to review the items that I need to reach for for the challenge. Way too
much to remember off the top of my head.

 

[Medgal07]

I'm horribly late for that but you go girl! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Med! I continued with the basic looks yesterday - L'Oreal Infallible e/s in Sahara Desert, Stratus MB and Caliente. Today it was much cooler over here, and I got my Sephora order a kind friend got for me in the US and I did a look with the Armani eyetint in Midnight (no. 2), blended with Omega up the crease, and used my shiny new MJ pencil in Orange Crush. The blue muted it a bit and made it look nearly copper, but so pretty!!!! If we stretch it let's call it peach.

I always hate doing laundry after coming back from a trip!!!


Huh, why did your quote disappear?! Specktra can act so weird.
Anyways, thank you kindly for asking! I'm not too bad!

And thank you for listing those titles for me. I love reading and I go through books so quickly, so I always try to have some unread books on my kindle.


Oh no! I hated that when I still had a regular office job! Usually I did a basic eye with some loud and obnoxious lipstick and some sunglasses.

(Not in the office itseld obvs.)
I'll check Lori Brighton out! I remember seeing her name somewhere. Right now I'm racing through The Passage - I'm such a wimp because it's really scary at times and then I need a break and browse the net a bit and look at makeup.



I remember the year I had three weddings to go to. Awful because the people did overlap and so I needed three dresses! Eeeek! I was the last of my friends to marry, so I haven't been to any for a year or so.

I like what you did with the Armani Eye Tint Meniut-----I could never have been that creative---I love those BTW!!! I'm hoping to be a wee bit creative (missing that
particular gene) with Chanel Laurier Rose Stylo Eyeshadow----it's peachy rose gold and looks amazing w/a sheered out black e/s in the crease.

I agree that copper & peach are first cousins so you're right on-challenge.

I hear you! My sister, cousins and I used to wake up at 5 a.m. to go running as well. By 10 a.m. I would be falling asleep at my desk!! HA! Enjoy your sweet sleep for me and you!

I was late today but still earlier than the time I would normally come in so I don't feel too bad. Makeup-wise I watched this youtuber last night (Jackie Aina) and she had two videos where she wore the most beautiful gunmetal coloured eyeshadows on her lid with nude lips. So I copied that today with a smokey transition in the crease and wore a coral Inglot blush (pigment city!) with NARS' Satin Lip Pencil in Torres del Paine. I grabbed my go-to CoverGirl Queen bronzer in Ebony Bronze to warm up my perimeter and the middle shade from Sleek's Face Form contour palette for my highlight.

Can't wait to see/read what every one else came up with for day one of "Peach/Coral Week".

 

[Medgal07]

Are you really a wimp or are you just finding excuses to go makeup shopping online? lol. Book one of the Mind Readers is free on the Kindle app so if you were interested, you can try book 1 of the series for free! That's how they got me haha.

I always had so much more energy when I ran. I'm trying to ease back into it, in spite of my health challenges. I think it would actually help some of them.
I like the sounds of your look today. I've been obsessed w/nude lips & recently purchased two MJ gel nudes Anais & Moody Margot, but today I'm on-challenge.

I'm wearing Chanel e/s palette in Tissé Vendome---a copper for main lid, a deep grey-brown in the crease, intense apricot to transition and blend and a peach beige
to highlight my brow. I opted for Dior Coral Cruise blush and Guerlain Geneva (coral-orange) lipstick topped w/Dior Addict Fluid-stick Pandore (Bright Coral). I'm
happy w/the look---it screams summer!!!

I prefer to exercise on the evenings. I usually dance 2-3 times a week but we've been on break for a while. I'm going to start back some hill training from tomorrow (fingers crossed). I felt like I rested better when I did an activity. My body was tired but in a good way so rest came easily.

I'm still yet to pick up any of the MJ lippies.... can you believe it? I think it's because I want too many haha. Oooh I like the sound of your look. Tisse Vendome always reminds me of such happy Paris memories at Place Vendome. I need to look into acquiring some of these Dior and Chanel blushes you always rave about. I'm just afraid of falling haha. I hope you took pics of your look to draw inspiration from later. I'm hoping to do more of that.

Now that's awesome. Moving and having fun via dance in one's mind feels less like working out!!!

I did not bother to take a pic of the look. I should do that but I suck at it, and quite often have to take multiple pics just to yield one good one.

Hey ladies! I promised myself that I would post the makeup that I intend to wear this week. I need to apply a matte primer more liberally because I was shining like new money, today. Eye primer: Nars eye primer Eyeshadow: TF Golden Peach (lid); Mac Brown Script (crease and blended slightly upward) Eyeliner: Stila Stay All Day in black (upper lid) Concealer: Nars creamy concealer in Ginger and Carmel (mixed together and applied under-eye) Powder: Becca Loose Finishing Powder in Nutmeg (too dark but looks okay with a light application) Bronzer: LM Ritual Bronzer Highlighter: Mac Freshen Up powder Blush: Mac Hipness Lipstick: Givenchy Le Rouge in 205 As usual, no time for mascara and it would have really finished my look. Welp! I'm wearing coral nail polish on my toes (China Glaze Surfin with Boys) and just applied Sinful Colors Energetic Red (which is coral despite the name) to my fingernails. I hope you ladies have a good week!
