Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[starletta8]

I will mention that pinks are hard for me on the cheeks since I have rosacea.

What? So did they just recommend that you go up a grade or did they say, she's making the others look bad? It's just kindergarten though. You can be above your grade but you still need the socialisation... and the coconut cookies lol

Your type A is what I'm like at night. Looking for everything to do except going to bed. Then I pay for it in the morning and swear I would go to bed earlier lol.
At that age I was only interested in socializing with those cookies!!!

I've NEVER loved going to bed. I go to bed really late and still get up pretty early. It eventually catches up with me!!!

I'm inherently shy but my work forced me out of my shell----I stopped working 15 years ago----never retreated back to the shell

Okay----I'm proposing RED Week after Purple Week. So here's our lineup:

Monday June 15 to Sunday June 21 is PINK WEEK

Monday June 22 to Sunday June 28 is GREEN WEEK

Monday June 29 to Sunday July 5 is PURPLE WEEK

Monday July 6 to Sunday July 12, is RED WEEK

 

[Medgal07]

First look for PINK week! It's not really a pink look, but I woke up today and knew I'd want an aqua/purple eye look, so I did that. (I won't leave the house today, and it feels a bit strange right now sitting here in old linen trousers and a very old shirt, hair in a bun, but a lot of makeup on my face!)

FACE:
Skinceuticals Mineral Radiance UV Defense (which is slightly tinted so I use it as a base)
MAC Mineralize Loose Powder
Bourjois concealer for under eyes, BareMineral concealer for everything else
Nars Translucent Powder
MAC At Dusk blush (soft pink! Hah!)

EYES:
Chanel Jade Shore all over the lid
MAC Memorabilia as a transition shade
MAC Shadowy Lady in the crease
MAC Orb to highlight
MAC Heirloom Eye kohl on lower lashline, Sephora waterproof pencil in Black Lace on upper
L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara

LIPS:
Nars Rikugien (pink - somehow.)

​Anneri that's the story of my life----but I match my old trousers or whatever to my makeup----then it's called shabby chic

You're on theme---Shadowy Lady
was given life when it started as pink to which someone added red & black-----me thinks!!!

.....and your lipstick looks pink to me!!! Check out this link: Nars Rikugien

I wish I could nap---sadly I can't. It's an art, a skill that I don't have----I was only in kindergarten for a week---got
kicked out, but I couldn't nap there either!!! If I'm asleep in the afternoon it's because I'm ill. My sister on the
other hand will stop mid-conversation to announce that she needs a nap--and off she goes!!!


​ Today I'm wearing a dark brown smokey eye, compliments of my Dior Cuir Cannage e/s palette, Chanel Pink
Explosion blush, EL Modern Mercury highlighter and Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Virevoltante
(Raspberry pink) 158 and Dior Plaza (Rosy Hot Pink) 579 nail polish.

Man, i'm like your sister. I can literally nap anywhere. Full on conversation, and wake up like, "what did I miss".

 

[Medgal07]

I hope I didn't miss anything else besides Reve D'orient. some sweet specktra ladies send me the bat signal. why would you keep such a thing from you. My family got to you didn't they? LOL You're right though. I don't need this stuff and I think I'm going to take the next 6 months, save, well besides some upcoming trips, and then look into buying then.
EVERY SINGLE TIME! LOL

I did that today, but I think I needed it.


I'm such a night owl. I like the concept of getting up early and getting things done, but it never happens.

Yes---I'm on the same page as your mom!!! After traveling like crazy, my 1st hubs and I needed a tax shelter and decided to buy a house. i didn't so much as
buy a tube of lipstick for 3 months while we socked away a down payment. It was fun because we were working toward a mutual goal. Could I do that now? Good
question!!!!

Lets heat it for the N.O.s (night owls)!!!!!

I went very sheer with TF Pink Glow today (using everything lol) with D&G Magnetic Monica. But I'm really liking the Lancome Definicils mascara sample!

 

[starletta8]

Love, love, love!!!!!

Um, ladies... I have a problem.

I have more pink skirts than work days left in the week.

I decided to reorganize my closet and found a ton of pink- which is hilarious since I was a redhead for many years who avoided it. I've got more pink skirts than pink palettes!

Clearly you're underestimating the sheer size of my work wardrobe.

Besides, I'm all about cobalt and mint right now.

It's really strange because Rikugien reads like a MLBB shade with some shimmer in me. Maaaaaaybe with a hint of mauve. Not my fave shade tbh, but it was in my Sephora birthday gift so I'm not complaining! Today I've got a truly obnoxious appointment so I did the rock chick look with black liner (not winged but smudged, think Kate Moss after a party), loads of mascara, some bronzer and neutral blush and Good Kisser. Doesn't get any more pink!

Glad you're enjoying it!!! I thought of you last night when I saw the YSL Bleus Lumière Eye Shadow Collector Palette on the web site. I was surprised the still have it.
Their sale starts today.

 

[Anneri]

     :lol:  

Well, I look younger than her of course. HIIIIIIII @PixiDancer! Missed you! And has anybody heard of Aradhana? I miss seeing her around too! And look what just arrived (my day just got a lot better):

I'm so impressed how many goodies EL included - I just bought the powder!

Where did they pull that one from lol

I was thinking about her and missing her too!!!! I hope all is well and that she's just busy w/life.
I hope you like your Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Illum Powder Gelée. It seemed to take on a more prominent life after a few uses. It's not as high-gloss illuminous
as the gelees of old, and although I love Modern Mercury, Heatwave, etc., this is a lovely addition to my collection because it's more subtle.
