I am cool with that because I still have yet to wear Toxic Tale or Vegas Volt lipsticks. Or the coral blush from Vibe Tribe. Yeah, I vote to stick with Spring lol

maybe you NEED them all...at least, this is what generally happens to me. or i remove things because i don't NEED them, and then i go buy them the following week.
i will keep you posted on pm...i haven't opened the package yet -- the sequins are a beautiful packaging idea, but they actually deter me from opening the package because i need to be ready for the explosion of sequins! i all want to make sure that i have time to play with all the items in the pack. i read a review somewhere complaining about all these items being included, when only one or two things are actually being coveted. i get the complaint but i will defer judgement on whether i agree till after i play with the products. i know i liked the lip kit that i purchased.
me too! i just bought a coral bronzer from vasanti. i've never seen a coral bronzer before, and in fact i just thought it was a poorly labeled blush until the sales person pointed me towards another shade for the blush, and instructed me to apply it lower. i may go back for the blush actually, it was like a yellowy Luster.

that is the 'bronzer'. can't find the blush online.
ok lets do the spring theme - coral peach cornucopia!
Yay! I also need to add the orange Mariah Carey blush to the list of must tries. And the light coral KvD ELLL shade. So much coral/peach/orange and so little time!

I wore that blush today with the highlighter from the same collection.... they were so beautiful together despite the fact that you really have to blend that darn highlighter to get rid of the glitter. It'd be fine for a night out but I don't like to be too glittery at work lol. I hope you like the blush. It has a really beautiful glow.

i know it's pretty weird sounding. i'm essentially using it as i use my blushes, which possibly means that i've been placing my blush incorrectly all these years.
i missed the mariah blush...i wish i hadn't skipped/snoozed.
i am planning to skip the summer collection too, but worried i will be sad later if i don't have any products with fruity packaging.
I am trying to make myself want something from this collection for the packaging too! I am so sad that MAC let me down with the purple lipstick.

oh you are so much better than I am. LOL
This is such an absolutely beautiful thread. I do think of makeup as a form of expression especially for women and folx of minority represented genders. and then when that is done for a cause- there are only some things more beautiful than that. Giddens in the chapter Culture and Society looks at freedom to express oneself as a space of belonging into groups and therefore societies. So kudos to your work OP

Very good. I use warm autumn and winter colors and I like them.Theme Makeup with a Purpose
This thread was born of the Cancer Awareness through the Beauty of Color exercise. At the end of the challenge the participants, having had so much fun sharing makeup looks using pink eye shadow, lipstick, blush and nail polish for October, wanted to continue their exchanges.
The concept of this exercise is first & foremost to have fun. Creating makeup looks while using our stash products will allow us to make room for amazing new items, or if so desired, renew makeup that we just love and are compelled to repurchase.
A ‘theme’ would encourage us to target particular colors to use from our stash. In so doing, we would use product faster. So, for the remainder of November the theme would be 'FALL'. Fall encompasses many colors and you get to use the fall colors of choice from your stash. The parameters of this exercise are loose & flexible because this should be enjoyable and minimally restrictive. Also, you would decide the adjunctive products, like paint pots, fluidlines, foundation, etc., to use for a month that you need or want to deplete.
A theme will last for a month and the next theme will be announced at the end of the current month. On a weekly basis we can post the look that we liked the best, during the previous seven days. Therefore, Monday would be our ‘favorite look day’. Those who wish to post photos can do so, but simply listing the products used in your favorite look is fine. Please also share your progress, the products you have used up and what you purchase if you 'back-2-MAC'. I hope you’ll join in this exercise.... a bit of focus on colors that will help us to move product, make room for new product, share ideas for makeup looks, and have fun in the process!
