Parfait Amour – outer third lid
Beautiful Iris – inner two-third lid
Light Fall – brow highlight

I haven't checked in this thread in ages. I've mostly been doing liner, blush and gloss. I finally pulled out some shadows today. I still did a simple look though. I was surprised to see a new thread. I'm not sure whether to post in this thread or the new one. I guess the new one is for people with a plan. Well I had no plan today. Except to use some of the Mac collection from last spring.

Eyes
Spring Color Forecast Color 4 palette:

• Flip on Lid
• Creole Beauty in outer V
• Manila Paper to highlight

Lord It up pearl glide on upper lash line

Cheeks
Marine Life blush

Lips
Sheena Lip Lacquer - I truly shopped my stash on this one!

I did some 'serious' stash shopping and used the Tempt Me quad from Tempt Me/Tease Me collection (2004) and Pleasureful blushcreme which I have had since 2005. Although I've owned Pleasureful for a very LONG time, it still looks and smells as good as new (...or maybe I should say it doesn't look funny or smell funny LOL).

EYES:
Painterly paint pot
Stud brow pencil
Girl Meets Boy – lid
Hard To Please – outer V
Bamboo – outer crease
Modelette – inner crease
Pleasurepurr – brow highlight
Blitz & Glitz fluidline – winged on upper lashline
I Get No Kick eye kohl - waterline
Maybelline Full ‘N Soft mascara in Black

CHEEKS:
Taupe – contour
Pleasureful blushcreme - apples of cheeks
So Ceylon MSF - highlight

LIPS:
Raw Refined cremestick liner – fill lips
Sinister lipstick

This sounds gorgeous! I still have both Tease Me and Tempt Me lipsticks (which still smell decent as well, despite their age) and I still kick myself for skipping those quads.

This 'shop your stash' challenge is really helpful. I hit a major milestone today. I hit pan on Painterly paint pot! So far this year I have hit pan on 3 eyeshadows, used up two lipsticks, & one lipglass, hit pan on one MSFN natural, and used up one Pro Longwear concealer & one Stud brow pencil. I guess I will keep posting in this thread since I am really taking full advantage of my stash.

This is yesterday's look. I took inspiration from Birds & Berries face chart from the Give Me Liberty of London collection but used several colors from Graphic Garden palette.

i haven't posted in a while - i'm trying a new thing where i challenge myself to not use a product twice. it's only been a week but so far, with the exception of a few products i've really been making use of my stash. next week i will keep a better record. i have a lot of colored bases and eyeshadows that don't get enough attention, so this should be fun . . .

monday - tsfi, naked lunch on lid and brow, cranberry and sketch in crease, MUFE aqua eyes black liner. hushabye blush, strobe cream as a highlight, MSF in warm as bronzer, hug me l/s with VGVI l/g

tuesday - tsfi, used an old lancome GWP palette, gold (similar to goldmine without green cast) on the lid, with a pink (somewhere in between swish and sunset b.) in crease, maybe naked lunch on brow (can't remember :-/), mac molasses liner. pinch me blush, spirit l/s with clinique tenderheart l/g

wednesday - indianwood pp, amber lights on lid, saffron in crease, rice paper on brow, some brown sephora liner, saffron as blush (i was in a pinch) and later on an everyday minerals blush powder with similar color. honey love l/s with flusterose l/g (got the most compliments with this one)

thursday - tfsi, smoulder all over lid, club in outer corner (appeared green), surreal on remainder of lid, club in crease (appeared brown), strobe cream on brow bone. pink swoon on cheeks, lollipop lovin l/s, with a VS lipgloss on top (i think its called desire). husband called this a peacock look. i was apprehensive of wearing this dark a lid, but it was suprisingly well-received. lovelorn l/s and VGVI special edition on lips

friday - fresco rose pp, illegal cargo on lid, hepcat and floral fantasy in crease, jest on brow bone. UD crash liner. strobe cream and pink swoon on cheeks. laura mercier lip stain in shy pink, with VGVSI on top. ok, can't use that one next week at all...
