   [COLOR=0000FF]Ask the universe AKA Google it Pretty!  I think sweetie might be the British spelling???[/COLOR]:shrugs:

It can't be. I have always spelled it "sweetie"! Man, I am a mixed up old lady lol

 

[awickedshape]

  [COLOR=0000FF] Pretty, how is it cheating if we're making the rules.[/COLOR]:shrugs: [COLOR=0000FF]​Another way of looking at it is we're using a wider range of products and allowing some flexibility in a makeup[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   exercise[/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF] that's designed to be FUN!!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   [/COLOR]:happydance:

Changed the second hand & date display on my iWatch to blue for the week

I pulled Lagons out for this week too. Edited - I don't have Lagons, I have Fascination. Meddy are you planning to get the new Chanel blue quad?
Great idea to change your display!

I thought wetting the beauty blender for powder was strange too but I saw it in a Youtube video and it is working out ok but I just did it under eye not all over. I pulled out the shop cook quad too.
I don't know what a reverse smokey eye is. School me.

​We had never heard of it either but @PixieDancer ​told us about it and I'm pretty sure there's a photo of her w/it in the swatch gallery for this thread. Essentially you use
a neutral color for the main lid color and a dark or bright color under the lower lash line. Check out some images here: reverse smokey eye

I would love to resist the Chanel blue quad but I'm not sure I have the willpower to do it. I probably should since I have both Fascination and Lagons. It just looks so
pretty and inciting!!! How about you?

Interesting! If you had asked me a few weeks ago, I would have said no way. But the SA was so excited about the collection that it was a bit contagious. Limited edition doesn't help either. I'm still kicking myself about hemming and hawing over the Metamorphosis quad and letting it get away from me. That one was blue based too.

​I know right? I let that one get away too. I will probably end up with several items from the collection---I love blue!!!

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!

 

[Medgal07]

It can't be. I have always spelled it "sweetie"! Man, I am a mixed up old lady lol

I think they referred to candy as 'a sweetie or sweeties."

Were they sweeties or smarties? You remember smarties, in the roll, pressed sugar candy with fruit flavors.

I love Smarties---but no, the research says 'sweeties.' It sounded odd to me too

Well I like candy, so...I may off to Google this.

Regarding next week's theme - I'm down with smokey week but my vote would be for traditional smokey colors (grey, navy, black, dark browns) but I am also really enjoying color specific themes, so maybe lets just keep rolling through colors? What colors haven't you done? It's summer so maybe Coral/Orange would be nice.

We're not outdated Sage.... we're vintage!

Vintage? We like vintage

We did orange/coral already-----you're late to the party but we'll be repeating again once we've exhausted all colors-------we must be close by now. The next week is Smokey and it's up to the participant to decide what color that will be. Maybe you can do a smokey/smoky orange or coral. I've seen that done w/the reverse/upside down smoky eye. I think there's a ton of flexibility in the next week. I'm excited to see/hear what everyone comes up with.
