We have those too. They are some pretty colors in that range, they remind me of  the YSL glossy stains
Yes and YSL belongs to the l'Oreal company. Both are very good, the l'Oreal one is quite pricey ( 15 € ), I think they are probably similar or quite similar, the YSL ones are more pigmented IMO but I should try the l'Oreal ones to Check that out.

I have the orange one, but I want this red.. They were so nicely.. I could almost have them all... I also want that dior nude in the back.
So tell me, is pure barley a must? do you think there is a dupe out there?

Nothing for me today, was updating my resume all day...
I love the orange one too Pretty! My fav is the Fuchsia Desinvolte (Hot Pink) 01. The Dior Gold shimmer powder is limited edition. I blinked and
is was gone. I had to go through a Saks SA who combed the country to find one. I hope they repromote them. Like who do they think they are MAC?

About Pure Barley---I'd say it's unique enough to have. I think of it as reaching for one of my naked pigments in terms of its versatility. You can wear it
​ with absolutely any color and it'll work. I looks very pretty on and anyone can wear it. I'm very glad I got it.

Viva Glam 1 is my red today, not really a bright, but it's one of my favorites. :)
Blush is Stylish Me blush by MAC & HG ambient lighting powder in Luminous Light was used to highlight.

You look so, so pretty in red! I can't decide on a fav because you look so darned good in them all! Do you have a personal preference?

I only have the one powder so far and none of the blushes since the one blush I thought I'd like just disappeared into my skin when I tried it on in store. :( I hope to get the ambient lighting palette soon and would totally get a blush or two if they expand the range ever.
I don't have any of the Hourglass blushes Naomi---they just didn't do it for me when they came out. I do have the Radiant Lighting powder which I purchased before the
palettes & blushes came along. The powders are very nice.

For today's look my face makeup was the same. Eyes - Maybelline color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze , bronzer in the crease , Mary lou manizer on the lids with All that Glitters on the inner corner and UD eye liner in LSD smudged on the upper lash line!

Cheeks- Bahama Mama bronzer, Mac Ring of Saturn MB.

Lips - L'Oréal Colour Riche la Laque Shiny Full Coverage Lipcolour ~ Lacque-onic 413

Loving the le mattes and the la laques from L'oreal!
Awesome look Calla!!!

I relied on an oldie but goodie today-----MAC's Red Racer from the Hey Sailor collection to round
off my neutral eye look.

I think I'm going to try this look tomorrow.
this is a beautiful look!

so...maybe i'm crazy but i think the right eye looks like it has more orange-yellow on the lid than the left one. that said, i think there may be two or three shades on her eyes - a very orange yellow, a more pure yellow and a highlight.

to help you with identifying the yellow, here's a pic of some yellows from temptalia's site:

and erine's photo (i thought it was from specktra, but it says photo bucket?)

maybe it's something like goldenrod, chrome yellow and going bananas?

for the red, it looks a bit blue to me, but i wonder if this look would look good with something like ruffian red? you could even sprinkle some ruffian gold on top of that...

you are a brave soul.

i've tried chrome yellow eyeshadow in the past, trying to imitate a fashion mag where it was paired with nars schiap. it was a cute, casual kind of rendition of the pic you posted... my ex made me go back in the house and change my makeup because he thought i looked like a clown, that's how bad it was. (he never did this before or after that isolated incident) i'd like to try it again sometime, so that my chrome yellow doesn't have to sit in the drawer anymore, but haven't yet figured out how to pull it off. hmm...now that i'm thinking about it, maybe i'll join you...

what sort of blush? like blushbaby, or buff perhaps?

anyways, just to report on my last few days, i fell right off the brights truck...i was playing with my alluring aquatics goodies! i'm really enjoying aphrodite's dream and sea me hear me blush!

before that i had a day of relentlessly red + dynamo PLLP, and the one following was follow intense lipgloss by illamasqua.

Hmmm....I guess if I had to pick, probably RRW though VG1 & Studded Kiss are very close 2nds.

I really have been enjoying the powder I have and use it almost daily, they did a really great job with those!

i missed that one...but i wish i hadn't slept on it! it must have looked awesome.
i have skipped on TF's lipsticks but the vampire one you posted about looks so good and has such a great name that i may go check it out. i hope it wasn't an LE thing....?

Aradhana, I checked two dept stores Tom Ford's Vampire Kiss lipstick and I'm starting to think it might have been limited edition. I have one other TF red that I'll
probably wear tomorrow, Crimson Noir, another really lovely red. I think that might have also been limited edition.

OMG---good observation! That model's right eye does appear to have more orange than the left and the right brow coloring is also deeper than the left. The left
actually appears to have been blended out more, and as such, looks more wearable. Chanel has a yellow single e/s in its fall collection. I'm considering it but I already
have several MAC yellow e/s going unused.

BTW, I couldn't access data in either of the links---the one for T even issued some type of warning message.
