Man, we won't even talk about challenge fails... my best week was green week. Twinkle those blues are gorgeous I missed out on banafsji too... I'm not sure what I'm going to do with blue week. I've never really liked blue shadow. I cannot wait to delve into Inglot as I transition from MAC. OK I'm rambling, just dropped in tobsee the color and what everyone has been wearing. Loving it all...

I can't either, if it helps. My lips are about the shade of old NARS Dolce Vita. Someone on the collection thread was playing with Whirl lipliner- it was high up on the wishlist anyhow...

I'm just kicking myself from here to the next state (actually, I called the next state!) for skipping Eugenie!

I just read a post about it being discontinued in 2007, so maybe they brought it back?

Anyhoo, here is a pic...

Brows: Giorgio Armani Eye & Brow Maestro- #04 Ambre

So when you are using the sponge or beauty blender to set your powder, is it wet? I never thought of using something wet on powder. I can't seem to wrap my mind around that.

I missed out on Bianca B, and I'm hoping one of the light shades Melt is releasing will cure my lemming. I still kinda want to see Eugenie on me though.

For someone who doesn't like blue, I'm having fun with the two looks I did.

This past weekend I did the same peach eye lid (G. Armani eye tint 11 or MAC Tweet Me), but did a muted peachy lip (Mac So Vain) instead of a bright lip like La Vie En Rouge. For blush I used Hipness (why didn't I get Crisp Whites?), and highlight with whatever golden highlight is around. LOL This might be my go to look for when I'm rushing in the Summer.

Now this weekend, I finally got some Sun, some nice blazing hot Sun. So that means I'm turning golden brown, with red undertones. It is so funny b/c you can totally see the contrast between my arm and chest. So I'm not going to mention the foundation used b/c it was horrible and, as always, I can't figure out what shade to use, I think I might move to the "orangey" foundations I can't use during the winter months. Normally I wear Lancome 24 Hr 450 and I think I'll try 460. All I know is that the EX1 mineral powder in M400, Tom Ford Traceless #9, and BB Like Skin golden #6 are too light, especially along the forehead. I was able to mask this with powder, but yeah, I'm at that stage again. I'm always at this stage, finding the perfect foundation/concealer.
I tried the new Sephora concealer, and the color seemed perfect before tan,however it seemed to make my eyes look like I had a black ring at the line where the concealer and foundation meet. It was weird. So I don't know if it is just too thin, and I needed another layer, which I did and it worked, but it was weird...

Ok, so Tuesday I wore

Eyes: shop cook/quad
I wore the blue (online it doesn't look blue at all) shade in the outer corner into the crease. I wore the purple shade on the outer lid, and the purple/silver shade in the inner corner. Loved it. It's no secret that this collex was one of my FAVES by MAC. I think things went downhill after this year. LOL For me at least.
Mascara: G. Armani Eyes to Kill, I only mention this b/c my Manager was like, ohhh nice lashes, I can see them from here. No, no lashes here.
Lips: Lavendar jade
Blush: pink cult...



Wednesday:

real basic (I'm not getting enough sleep, so thinking of a look this AM was not going to happen) but I loved this blue.

Eyes: G Armani eyeshadow Tint in #2. On my lid. Very pretty blue, I didn't think I'd like this one at all. . Now I love these, but I'm noticing they will crease in the inner corner. So, this could be an application thing that I need to improve on, or just how some creams will be on me. even TF cream eyeshadows did it.
Uninterrupted in transition
Dark brown from MUFE in crease...
I wish I thought about this look a lil more, b/c I would have put on a gold liner or something.
Blush: Pink cult
lips: Feed the senses. Oh I love thee... This lip cured my lemming for Bianca B. They are nothing alike, but it is such an awesome color.


Now off to find Thursday's look, I crashed out when I came home, now I'm awake. BOOOO!

Dear Meddy, what is next week's color?
We haven't made a final decision. I think Smokey Eye Week was suggested---we just need everyone to weigh in w/a Yay or Nay. Do we want back /traditional
smokey or do we want all smokey---black, brown, navy, gray and/or reverse smokey eyes??????

wellllll if we do smokey, and include all colors,are we cheating? I love the idea of including reverse smokey eyes... you know I don't care about color, whatever everyone wants...

I'm playing around with my DGAF, for blue week, and I'm soo mad I got the purple/blue one... UGH! #randomthought.
