Cancer Awareness Through the Beauty of Color

[Prettypackages]

CartoonChic,
If you're "a child of the sun" than I'm your twin! The summer seemed way too brief, and although there a a few things (well maybe two) that I like about the change of seasons, the cold temps and shorter often sunless days are not a part of the equation. As you and most people, I also experience S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I'm usually very organized and task oriented but at this time I have to force myself to complete things. I had been trying to do laundry for 3 days and just got around to it today!
And yes, I have been known to change my nail color everyday...properly. Lately, I've resorted, on occasion to putting a darker pink over a light pink.

Ahhhh confession...I feel better now. You and Prettypackages need to stop beating yourselves up. I love that you've joined in solidarity for the cause, and no gesture is too small or too insignificant. Thanks so much for your efforts and for just being here!!!!!

that is very sweet of you to say.. Thank you... I told my mom about this and she was super geeked. I also told her about my nails. I haven't been able to get to the shop yet, but I am still going to do it. I don't care if it is the last day of October. LOL
I've been going through at work, (I missed 3 days due to medical reasons and they still threatened me, I could've gotten a doc's note, but they told me I didn't need it). I haven't even played with my MM goodies. I'm trying to ressurect(sp) my blog, so I like to take pics of everything before I use them.

Prettypackages,
First, I hope you're feeling better!!! Second I hope you're able to resolve your issues at work. I hope getting a doctor's note, even after the fact will put this all to rest. Awww those sneaky corporate tactics. Watch your back and keep impeccable documentation.
All the best to you!

OCTOBER 8-9, 2012

I didn't wear any makeup, but I did wear pink clothing. The season is transitioning into Fall, so it's been cold and the weather has been gloomy lately. I'm a child of the sun, so the colder temps and dreary sky is affecting my mood, along with agitating my dry lips. I've been sporting lip balm for the past two days. Hope to get back into the swing of things tomorrow.

Medgal, do you change your nail color every day? It takes me forever to polish my nails, so I can't imagine doing it every day.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Medgal, I'm going to start needing pictures. LOL What do you mean @ Rose Quartz at highpoints?

Also isn't a transition color the same as a crease color? You mentioned it in your 10/12 look.

 

[Medgal07]

Tee Hee. I'm just not your picture girl. I'm shy and fear folks will find me over exposed and get sick of seeing me. It took me months to get up the courage to post my photo as my avatar. Now for the Rose Quartz...it's a MAC MSF, from which collection I don't recall, but I put it lightly down the bridge of my nose and at the top of my cheek bones to achieve what I call the J Lo glow. I use a Laura Mercier fan brush or the MAC 116. The transition color is between the crease and the brow, and provides a softening effect, avoiding harsh lines and providing congruence. I hope that makes sense. It's a technique that I learned watching YouTube videos. Who knew?:shock:

QUALIFIER: This will appear different because I'm using my iPad which doesn't allow the same formatting as my MAC Book PRO. I'm away this week with less products than usual, so here goes: PLOTD: Sunday October 14, 2012 MAC Except where otherwise specified EYES: Constructivist Paint Pot to lids Carbon e/s to lids Carbonized e/s (LE MAC Me Over collection) to crease Endless Passion (mid-tone rose, Offc Hrs Collection) e/s above crease or emphasis Prefferred Blonde to brow & inner corners FACE: Estée Lauder Illuminating face primer Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer P&P Light Boost Illuminator, set with Ben NYE Pink Swoon Blush Estée Lauder Modern Mercury highlighter Crystal Pink highlighter FM beauty powder entire face Pink Plaid lipstick NAILS: Essie's Fiji
