Sounds gorgeous!!

I want to report that Cosplay has held up WELL. Through breakfast and lunch, water sipping constantly and two applications of lip gloss. Medgal, I know you said that OCC LipTars are runny but I swear the last two years have not been like that. I do have a couple older ones (don't shoot me - I am keeping the one I got at ComiCon FOREVAH!) that are runny by comparison but after that it seems to have changed. They form a nice little bead on my finger/palette before I dip my brush in and are very opaque on the lips. Just for comparison, Cosplay is like that - very nice, creamy and opaque, while Power Plant and Chlorophyll are more runny.

​Sage ar you having a little melt-down? The good news is once we've exhausted the weeks of color that we want to use, we can start all over again in whatever
order we want

We still need to add a blue week, a brown/neutral eye week and smokey eye week, but we certainly can do another week of greens. I forgot about MAC
Shimmermint too!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Sounds gorgeous!!

Thank you AWS!!! It might have been but I look so tired today. We had a bad storm last night and I didn't sleep much. Abby & I fled to the basement for shelter.
Hubs is away on business. The end result for us is the loss of a 100 foot tree in our yard that's lying across energized 13,000 volt power lines. Our tree surgeons
couldn't cut it down for that reason. Our utility company has to come out, shut off the power, trim the limbs back away from the wires and then the tree surgeons can cut
the tree down. I have no idea when that's going to happen because there are thousands of households w/o power, downed trees entangled in power lines and houses
destroyed by enormous old trees that are the priority right now We feel very fortunate, although traumatized nonetheless. I'm wearing the last 24 plus hours all across
my face!!!!

Oh, no! That's so frightening! I'm sorry to hear about that damage. I'm so, so glad that you and little Abby are ok!! I hope that's the last of it and that your neighbours will all be ok

 

[Medgal07]

I hope that's the last of it and that your neighbours will all be ok

Yes it was. We faired better than most---very grateful!!!! Thanks AWS!!!

Yes, it was a small meltdown, and perhaps a realization of how much doggone makeup I am neglecting lol. It has passed. I had a snack. Wait, adding to the greens, I still have Melody e/s. Is that too turquoise to count?

 

[starletta8]

Oh you were minted OUT Starletta---love it. That Formula X NP is really very pretty!!! I like your product selections!!!

Awesome!!! I'm wearing Olive today too!!!! Glad the contouring class was helpful. I saw on TV yesterday where contouring is out and highlighting is in---to which I say
phooey. I do both!!!! Who makes the asinine rules anyway???

I adore mint- but the tote I've been rocking is a blue-tinged mint. It's funny, I get so many comments on what's only a $179ish tote regular price (and is often on sale). I've been loving Formula X as of late- it truly works wonders!

Yes, rules are asinine.

Olive made me long for fall!!

I'm just glad you're safe!

My family lost 2 130 ft oaks last summer and it was like losing a member of the family- so I totally understand.

 

[starletta8]

hAHAHAHA LOVE THIS!

I need to pay atten to what lipsticks you all wear with green shadows. I find myself in the Green eyes then Coral/orange lips.

I'm, excited, I have quite a few shadows to play with. So why haven't I worn anything today? One of those days. LOL

I have Guacamole Aquavert, humid, Oomph, Marsh, Thre ring yellow (kinda green), and sweet and punchy (kinda green also) All Mac. Chanel Olivine,
Arnama Green Iron, MUFE I324 and Toledo bellgreens...

I'll come back in and post yesterday's look.

I do a lot of corals and nudes- but I've found berry lipsticks work well, too!

Olive made me long for fall!!

I loved olive so much today-----I wore white slacks and an olive tunic----casual but nice. My favs were the NP and eye look.

 

[Medgal07]

I'm just glad you're safe!

My family lost 2 130 ft oaks last summer and it was like losing a member of the family- so I totally understand.

Thanks Starletta. It's very sobering to see such a massive structure topple over. The utility company finally
came out and said oh yes---this is a job that calls for our expertise!!!! They just didn't say when they're going to
do it. I'm guessing within the next day or so. They need to do it before we have a soaker this weekend. It will
definitely fall at that point!

A few years ago we had a massive oak removed from our front lawn and I sat in the window crying as I watched
them take it down. It was there when we purchased the house so it was like the house had lost its identity. I'm
over it now, and I totally love the new walkway & sitting wall but the loss was bitter sweet.

I love your makeup stash!!! Such a nice mix of quality products!!! If your NP is on theme then you're set. You don't have to be theme worthy from head to toe unless you choose to be!!!

I hope it was a yummy snack!!!!

To my way of thinking, turquoise is a descendant of green!!!!

Aww... the most important part is that everyone's safe.

The main problem they're all dealing with is the extent of storm damage. There's been severe weather all over, so companies can't pull from neighboring/regional states like they normally do since those crews are dealing with the same damage in their areas. We're having more storms tomorrow, and have had 2 days of incredibly serious storms in the past 5 days.

RE: bad influence!!!!

Why thank you! The size of my stash is why I decided to jump in on these themed makeup challenges. I have so many products that I don't use. I've been staying with my same basic "face" (primers/concealers/foundation) since it's tried and true, but I'll pull out some of my other faves this weekend.

Tomorrow's a non-themed day aside from polish due to meetings, but I have so many eyeshadows to wear still in green!

What about coral/orange, and a black/white/grey week? Food for thought.

Coral/Orange was our first week. We can always loop back once we've finished up though. I was so busy that week that I hardly got to do any looks with coral/orange so I'd be down for a "do-over".
