As a sidebar, I pulled most (but not all I have a feeling) of my green polishes to start the week. I just counted.... 69 green polishes. I need to keep doing manis!

You look beautiful!I've tried Emeraude a few ways, but letting it take the spotlight is actually my favourite. (Although it also makes a killer liner.) I did get a slight patchiness when applying it, but that's really just due to my massive hoodies. It wasn't too evident (saw it more in photos than in person) and it didn't get any more pronounced as the day wore on. I'm amazed at how fade-resistant these eye tints are!!! I think to avoid any patchiness whatsoever, I'd have to wait with my eyebrows raised and holding my lids taut for a few minutes. I'm just not willing to commit to that yet...ooh:
I didn't keep mine because it was drying on me but it's a nice shade and has a cute name: lovers coral/ lovers quarrel

Last day of Green Week. I'm already looking forward to Green Week Part II: Olive's Revenge!
I went for a bright look, even though I spent half of the day in the office (yuck). I also once again made progress with my critical use-it-up items.
Green Week Day Seven (Sunday):
Primer: Shiseido Refining Makeup Primer(face), NARS (eyes)
Foundation: Burberry Sheer Foundation #02
Concealer: Shiseido Natural Finish Cream Concealer #1
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges #10
Blush: Clinique Cheek Pop- 08 Melon Pop
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 00 Nude
Setting Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
Brows: Tom Ford Brow Perfecter- Chestnut
Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow- 02 Trench, Tom Ford Emerald Lust Quad (intentional sheer wash using MAC 217 of upper right shade), MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow-Lorelei (seriously, I wish this would come back, as mine's on its last legs and it's the perfect sheer wash for the crease)
Eyeliner: NARS Paint Pot- Snake Eyes (upper), Urban Decay Mars (lower)
Mascara: Chanel Le Volume
Lipliner:Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat- Pink Venus
Lipstick: Tom Ford Lip Color Sheer- Paradisio
All-Over Finishing: Guerlain Meteorites 03 Medium (even though I'm super pale, I like Medium during the summer since it leans warmer than Clair)
Mani: Butter London Trustafarian
Pedi: Julep Lizanne
I love purple (I'm actually the one that first requested Purple Week if you go back through the thread), but I have so much unused green! Think Chanel and Burberry and Armani.... I need Part II!
I'm a little afraid to start pulling purple polishes- they're my kryptonite!

That promo photo was what sucked me into buying the quad in the first place- my eye color is about the same as the model's. I never would've thought that it would've worked on me!
HA, my mint necklace is from Forever 21!
Things are still flooded around here, I wish it would stop raining for a bit.

I'll wait until another green week to wear Tissé Vénitien. I just couldn't fit it in this time.
I think I located your necklace---very nice.
The sun has finally made an appearance this afternoon. The power company came out yesterday morning and cut down our 50 foot tree. We were only w/o power
for about 2 hours. So glad that fiasco is over. Now we just have to get the arborists to remove & grind the stump and remove all of the debris that the power company
left.

How do you like the Melon cheek pop? I like your E/S choices!
Thanks! I really like Melon cheek pop- it's very soft and light. It's natural, much like a real peaches and cream milk shake, translated into a sheer but buildable blush.

I haven't tried Lavanda yet either since it needs so many layers- I'm usually in a hurry.

Spoiler alert: way too many.

Aren't you the green palette collector around here? I've been surprised that I haven't seen from anyone a few different quads (ie Dior, CT).
Glad to hear that things are getting better!

MCP sounds pretty!
I did use greens form a couple of palettes in the green looks that I constructed; I used the green from my Guerlain Écrin 4 Couleurs Les Précieux 504 Palette. I had
planned to use my Charlotte Tilbury, The Rebel but things didn't work out from a wardrobe perspective. I'm looking forward to yet another Green week so I can dive
into my TF Raw Jade & Sahara Haze and Chanel Tissé Vénitien and Mystère and the green E/S in Chanel L'Intemporel and my Dior Smokey Khaki. I did use my
cream shadows which I love but I'm hoping things work out better for the next Green week.
Thank you !!!!!

I got a little bit ahead of myself and started purple week today. Used Guerlain's shadow palette Les Violines, which is a group of soft, smoky purples. Not heavily smoky, more like wood smoke from a fire. I also wore Nars Vivien, a purple-berry favourite of mine. And for blush I used Dior Brown Milly (gorgeous plum) and RBR Sea of Tranquility highlighter. all in all, a very typical look for me, but the kind of thing I feel comfortable wearing.

I wore purple today too. Unfortunately I was in a rush and my eyelook and look overall wasn't how I wanted it to be so I'm going to live vicariously through your look lol.

What's going on with the site?
purple clothing. I have a purple tee shirt but nothing that I would venture out of the house wearing. I am wearing a very deep purple
NP that I will probably change tonight for a soft lavender.
