Someone has been shopping VV instead of their stash! (I violated too, could not resist!) My eyes have been super irritated lately, so I used some matte shadows from an EL palette for most of the lid and yesterday I went with naked eyelids for the first time since I can remember! I have to go and get some hydrocort cream. for my sensitive lids. Afraid they will get bumpy, instead of just red and itchy. I think I figured out the problem--a new eye makeup remover. That's what I get for not using my standard (lancome) and trying crap from the drugstore!

My boring look today (since I could not use any shadows with glitter or shimmer)

Face: Her Own Devices (HOD) (one of my VV indulgences)
over SB Primer and BE Matte SPF 15 (Fairly Light) for concealer
Porcelain pink MSF in cheek and nose area and all over lid
Buddy Up MB duo on cheeks, blended out with HOD BP

Eye: Blackground PP
Used shades from EL palette dark grayed brown on lash line (sub Night Manouvres or Handwritten) Fleshy Pink from quad on crease (No good sub for this, maybe Rich Flesh or Mink Pink)
Universal Mix piggie on brow and inner eye corner
Korres natural mascara wtih Abysinia oil (Sp?) I love this mascara

Lippy: To Pamper over Pink Plaid. This came out to be a beautiful cool, lavender/greyed pink. (would also work with syrup or other blue pinks) can't wait to try To Pamper over Lady Gaga...

Hope my eyelid clears up soon. I hate not wearing eyeshadow or having to do only matte shades!

How long after a collection is past can we consider it game for Shopping the stash? (when does haul become stash???)

Martiangirl,

The minute my new goodies hit my makeup box its STASH!

I always set new goals for myself: play with the goodies first and then incorporate older shades into the mix.

I'm trying not to purchase too much too soon because then it all becomes overwhelming and I tend to get lost or stuck in a rut.

I'm also trying new techniques and different ways of doing things.

As long as I have my basics everything else is just frosting!

There's no getting around it: My name is Natalie and

!

LOL I thought I could get away with it because only the She Who Dares and Revenge is Sweet were brand new from the VV Collection. But everything else is pretty new too. I think I got everything this year except for the Fashion e/s. I'm not sure when it came out but I know it was with the last Starflash collection. But this was my first time actually using it. I wanted to use the Petrol Blue Pearl Glide in honor of it being repromoted soon. But good job noticing that one!
