Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[awickedshape]

Hi!!! I've been so busy with my new job I haven't been able to contribute anything lately, though I have been checking in and reading what you all are up to! Every morning I ride my bike 6 miles into work so I've been doing my makeup in the office bathroom because I'm usually covered in road grit by the time I get there. Plus, my helmet would wipe away everything on my forehead and the sides of my face. Sadly, that means I've been completely ignoring my eyes because managing to do foundation, blush, bronzer, highlight, mascara, brows, and lips is a struggle enough! It makes me sad but the commute is so much faster if I ride. Today I'm wearing an orange top so I decided on Bite Cin Cin which is coral orange, and Tarte Tipsy on my cheeks, also coral. Not on target for the theme but least my nails are pink!

Cin Cin is so pretty

Used the two pink shades from YSL couture palette no9, Armani Shadow eye tint, the Lancome Definicils mascara sample, Chanel Affinite cream blush and Givenchy Rose D'Exception lipstick. Meh. Wore grey and alternated between black pumps and pink embellished flats.

Today I went for a romantic eye look accidentally. I just went to use one of my pink palettes (Naked 3) and the end result is just soft and romantic. With Naked 3, I honestly have to use a ton of shades to avoid the dreaded pinkeye effect.

As always, challenge items in italics. Today I also snuck in a few of my "use it up" items.

Powder: Chanel Les Beiges
Blush; Benefit Dandelion
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Nude

Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow 02 Trench (highlighter, to brow), Urban Decay Limit (lid base), Strange (inner eye highlight), Burnout (crease),Dust (inner lid), Buzz (middle lid), Liar (outer lid)
Eyeliner: Dior Diorshow Liner Waterproof Prune/Plum 888 (this is what I also used yesterday)

Lipliner: Lancome Le Lipstique- Clair
Lipstick: Tom Ford Lips & Boys Frencesco

My hats off to you for cycling 6 miles to work

Pink nails are perfect so you're on theme!!! We said pink ANYTHING counts!!!

Very Pretty AWS! Love the pink blush. Why the 'meh' reaction to your lipstick? It seems to work with the soft look.

Hi,[@]Medgal07[/@]! I just wasn't crazy about the whole look altogether. It was just ok.

  [COLOR=0000FF] I was thinking about her and missing her too!!!!  I hope all is well and that she's just busy w/life.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   I hope you like your Estée Lauder[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Bronze Goddess[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Illum Powder Gelée.  It seemed to take on a more prominent life after a few uses.  It's not as high-gloss illuminous[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   as the gelees of old, and [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]although I love Modern Mercury, Heatwave, etc., this is a lovely addition to my collection because it's more subtle.[/COLOR]

She's been on Facebook a few times and seems ok. I'm guessing just busy.

True story: I favor skirts and dresses at work because I'm too lazy/cheap to get pants tailored and I'm short. The whole feeling feminine in a sea of black and grey is a bonus.

Yup. I'm the exact same. Pint sized and can't be bothered adjusting clothes, so I favour skirts.

Hi,[@]Medgal07[/@]! I just wasn't crazy about the whole look altogether. It was just ok.

Really? The photos looked beautiful. I haven't been able to keep up with Pink Week, because I've been sick for almost a week now. I think it's just a bad Speing flu, but if it doesn't improve a lot during the next couple of days, I'm going to have it checked out. I put a little makeup on yesterday (first time since Saturday and even then it was only because I had a 50th anniversary dinner to go to). It did include a pink lipgloss- RBR Mousse Fandango- but that's been it for me all week. Really hope this nastiness passes soon.

I wore divaish yesterday. I'll type up the rest of the look later. So tired today.

Thank you [@]katred[/@] Hope you feel better.

Thanks ladies. I am feeling a bit better today, although still don't have much energy. I did put on some makeup today and I celebrated this by going with multiple pinks

Face:
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation "Mont Blanc"
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer "Vanilla"
Hourglass Ambient Blush "Mood Exposure"

Eyes:
Hourglass Visionnaire Eye Shadow duo "Suede"
Mac e/s "Sushi Flower"
Mac e/s "Girlie"
Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner "Zero"
Mac Carbon (to fill brows)
Dior New Look mascara

Lips:
Mac l/s "Bubblegum" (lavender pink shade with gold shimmer, LE from 2010)

That lipstick is one that I can't believe Mac hasn't repromoted. I think it would sell more now than when it was originally released. It's a glaze formula, which I think gets a raw deal. The glazes I've tried have mostly been quite pigmented, although not opaque, and they feel really nice on the lips.

Awesome 'pinkfest' Katred. I think you should just sit around looking pretty in pink until you get your strength back!

@katred I hope you continue to feel better. Hope you can get some rest this weekend.

I see lots of newbies were thrown in today. Go Meddy!! The CT Love Glow is the one you just got right? And how did the YSL balm go for you?
Edit: I meant the blur primer thing, not the balm.

Yes---Love Glow just arrived on Thursday and i wore it on Friday----shocking!!! It usually takes me several weeks/mths to use my new products.
I'll be using the primer again Saturday to determine if it caused the oiliness that I experienced with it today. I applied the primer over a VERY light
medicated moisturizer instead of directly to my skin because most primers break me out. I hate having what seems like a mountain of product on my face.
The primer made my face feel amazing and my foundation looked nice.

I used the Touche Éclat’ Blur Perfector on top of my makeup but I used the sponge applicator that came with the compact and lightly pressed it onto my face.
I did that because so many reviews said that it took their makeup off as they applied it. Well if you're wiping something onto your face it's going to disturb and/or
remove your makeup

It's a cream that quickly turns into a powder---very weird item to use but the pink compact is super cute!!! For me, it's a work in progress!!!

Thanks for the review! Sounds like you're coming out of your makeup overload and getting to enjoy the goodies. I have a covergirl balm that's supposed to do the same thing but I am terrified to use it lol. I think I just didn't know how since the darn thing didn't have any usage instructions. I get oily even with mattifying primers so I think I will definitely steer clear of that primer!

I just remembered that I had added Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid, Sunkissed to my foundation---I think out of recent habit, so that plus the primer was probably a bit
much. Now I'm really eager to try it again because my skin feels wonderful with it.

@mkoparanova,You're a bad influence----Last week I ordered MAC Fluidline, Looking Good and today I ordered EL's Nude Pearl because I LOVE rose gold---and it was 10%---and I used a Nordies Note----and Ebates was 6% cash back. How could I not!!!

Looking good needs some layering but it's very very pretty!
