I like it a great deal. Smooths the cheek area where I have some enlarged pores but isn't drying. I think the real test will be come fall.

Nails OPI Infinite Shine in Bee Mine Forever.  I just applied this yesterday and it is mostly peeled off.  It looks horrible.  This was my first time using this system.  Did I do something wrong?  
You really have to use all 3 steps and start with a dry, dehydrated nail. I've had good results from the system...

I have a confession for everyone. I don't want to offend anyone because we all have different tastes... But I am not loving pastels week in mid-August with super hot temps. Come see me after Orthodox Christmas for pastels, y'all..... I'm minimally participating since once I start something (themes) I stick it out. Tuesday and Wednesday were no makeup days. I had Dior Melody on my nails (perfect spring color, wtf with making it a Nordies sale color) and OPI Infinite Shine To Be Continued... on my toes. I'll post Thurs/Fri/Sat looks once my computer finishes it's updates....

Worst. Computer. Upgrade. Ever.

As I mentioned, Pastels Week is not something I'm enjoying. Come see me about pastels after the holidays are over. Different strokes, I know...

Thursday I brought out a spring-like combo of a floral skirt but kept it mid-summer with a lot of navy and really went nautical aside from the floral skirt. I also finally experienced some of the eyeshadow fail everyone complained about with the Guerlain palette, which I loved this spring.

Thursday's FOTD:

Base:
Guerlain Meteorites Primer
NARS & NARS Creamy Concealers
Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation (so almost done with my bottle)
MAC Studio Fix NW15
Urban Decay Afterglow Blush- Score (sample)
Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons #00 Nude Bronzer
Tom Ford Moodlight Highlighter
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder- Dim Light

Eyes:
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow- Dark Brown & Giorgio Armani Eye & Brow Maestro #04 Ambre
Smashbox 24 Hr Eyeshadow Primer
Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow #02 Trench (to browbone)
Chanel Illusion d'Ombre 98 Melody (lid brightening base)
Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs- 18 Les Nuees (lighest shade, on lid on top of Melody)
Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil Extreme Eyeliner- Noir (upper)
Marc Jacobs Highliner- Christmas in Paris (lower)
Clinique Chubby lash Fattening Mascara- Bodacious Black Honey

Lips:
Lancome Le Lipstique Lipliner- Clair
Lancome Color Design Lipstick- Love It!

Mani: OPI Infinite Shine In Pursuit of Purple
Pedi: OPI Infinite Shine To Be Continued....

I remembered just how much I adore Love It! and really am enjoying the Clinique mascara as a dark alternative to black. It really makes my blue eyes pop.

Friday was also a giant makeup fail. I'm hoping Meddy can tell me where I went wrong, since I think she has this quad....

Friday ended up, despite my best efforts, as a giant "screw it" as far as makeup goes. It took nails/lips to save me.


Friday's FOTD:

Base:
Guerlain Meteorites Primer
NARS & NARS Creamy Concealers
Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation (so almost done with my bottle)
MAC Studio Fix NW15
Urban Decay Afterglow Blush- Score (liked it so much after sampling it twice I bought it Thursday night)
Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons #00 Nude Bronzer
Tom Ford Moodlight Highlighter
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder- Dim Light

Eyes:
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow- Dark Brown & Giorgio Armani Eye & Brow Maestro #04 Ambre
Smashbox 24 Hr Eyeshadow Primer
Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow #02 Trench (to browbone)
Chanel Illusion d'Ombre 98 Melody (lid brightening base)
Tom Ford Sahara Haze Quad- upper right light grey/green shade on lid
MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow- Lorelei (crease) (I'm going to cry when I finish this, which will be soon)
Burberry Wet n Dry Glow Eyeshadow- 001 Gold Pearl (inner highlight)
Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil Extreme Eyeliner- Noir (upper)
Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof- 916 Perle de Lune (lower)
Clinique Chubby lash Fattening Mascara- Bodacious Black Honey

Lips:
Lancome Le Lipstique Lipliner- Clair
Dior Rouge Dior- 753 Continental (finally brought this out, I have a feeling I'll be living in this)

Mani: Chanel Vibrato (love this!)
Pedi: OPI Infinite Shine To Be Continued....

I paired it with a blazer and plummy top.

Here's the issue: Sahara Haze faded within 15 minutes on me. WTF??? It looked like I was just wearing eyeliner even before I left the house. In case anyone's interested, that's the mini eyeliner that was available as GWP on Sephora earlier. I really like it and have it on my short list of black eyeliners to purchase once I finally use one up.

Meddy, what did we say we were going with after pastels? I know we did say but I can't seem to find the darn summary post *sigh*.

I've finished up Pastels Week with a fully compliant FOTD. I look forward to hearing what the next themes are, but because of some life-altering events in my life outside of the keyboard and the fun that is makeup, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to participate after Tuesday. I've hit the point where there's not enough glitter and concealer to cover up everything going on these days.

Base:
Guerlain Meteorites Primer
Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Concealer
NARS Concealer
NARS Creamy Concealer
Chanel Les Beiges All-in-One Healthy Fluid #10
MAC Studio Fix NW15
Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer #00 Nude
Urban Decay Afterglow Blush- Score
Tom Ford Moodlight Highlighter
Ambient Lighting Powder- Dim Light

Eyes:
Smashbox 24 Hr Eyeshadow Primer
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz- Brunette
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow #02 Trench (to browbone) (By the way, I picked up another BU!)
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow- Cowboy (all over lid)
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow- Meow (inner 1/3 of lid on top of Cowboy)
Maybelleine Master Drama Eyeliner- Vibrant Violet
Hourglass Film Noir Mascara

Lips:
Lancome Le Lipstique Lipliner- Clair
Lancome Color Design- Love It!


Mani: Sally Hansen Drama Sheen
Pedi: OPI Infinite Shine To Be Continued....
I picked up the Maybelline liner last week when there was a Plenti offer on it, since I'm a sucker for purple liners. Sorry to report that it's incredibly drying.

Okay. I had a look back over the last 5 pages and it seems the last agreed theme was Pastels Week. I'm subject to correction but I didn't see a post after Meddy's post 3 weeks ago. I guess most of you lovely ladies are busy this weekend so I'm going to play it by ear tomorrow until we decide a new theme sometime this week. Hope you ladies have been having a fab week and weekend!
