***Whispering sheepishly---just counted. I can do a palette a day for 2 1/2 months.

Congrats!!! I'm so sorry your daughter upset you the way she did. You reminded me of my first year and EVERYONE, ok, just about everyone went and got tatoos or piercings. It was just thing to do. I didn't, not b/c I'm an angel, I just didn't know what I wanted. Anyway, it was interested to hear the parents side. Glad you stayed strong, tough love is so necessary!!



WELCOME NEWBIES!!! As everyone said, we like to have fun and there aren't any restrictions. March is a palette a day, I'm also going to include paint pots b/c I NEVER wear them since I'm sure I don't have a palette a day. (Haven't counted yet, crossing fingers LOL ) We are also wearing a lipstick a day, to circulate our stash. Some of us have a years worth or a Month of Lipsticks. You can post pictures, and we love seeing the breakdown of what you wore, for you know, inspiraton, yeah inspiration, not to add anything else to our stash. LOL

Hey guys! I'd love to join too! My makeup should have a purpose!!!! I see March is palettes; do quads count? What is the exact challenge? Do you mind if I play along?

Oh please----by all means join us!!! You can share pics of your eye looks with us, if you're so inclined. Quads are palettes,and duos also count. The challenge is to use a different eye shadow palette every day for the month of March. On Tuesday, March 17, we're wearing green eye shadow looks because everyone's Irish on St Patrick's Day. You can report the palette that you wear and/or the look that you construct with that palette on a daily basis/a weekly basis or whatever works for you. You can share pics of your looks if you want to---pics are NOT required. This is supposed to be fun--not burdensome. We're happy to have you!!!

we're still doing a lippie a day right? For a week, I had my coworkers staring at me to see what I was going to wear next. LOL

Yes. It's more fun now because I'm keeping the ones that I've worn separate. I haven't really made a dent overall but certain colors that I've worn more of are starting to
go down. It is crystal clear that I have issues!!

 

[Medgal07]

LOL too funny.

LOL, hard core!

Jeez... that's so awesome LOL

No. That's so twisted!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I will make you yield to me, Plum Attraction! Next time I'll use my kabuki brush and TF's Guillermo! Lol

I find that Chanel blushes work best with my Tom Form Cheek Brush # 06. Frankly---every blush that I own world better with this brush---I don't know if it's the density o the brush or not---it just works! Plum Attraction is so amazing!!! I love the colors that you selected and I love the simplicity of your eye look---it's just so soft & pretty. That's what I'm aiming for this spring. Soft & pretty!
Your look has inspired me AWS!!!!

Thank you! I just counted my palettes - I have only 24 and I've used most of them (there are a few untouched ones

). However, I have a lot of singles and pigments I have never used and some of them are so pretty! I have 3 months worth of lipsticks and lipglosses but half of them are dark/red shades and I can't wear them during the day, so I'll stick to the eyeshadow challenge for now.

Yay and WELCOME!!!! You must join us since you're singlehandedly responsible for nearly 100% of my makeup purchases in the last several days,
including today!

Your palettes don't have to be new and once you've exhausted your supply you can either start over from palette #1 or you can use 2 singles (a duo) or
4 singles (a quad) or your pigments. Our challenge guidelines are not etched in granite because the idea is to have fun while using your products. The same applies
to the lipstick challenge should you be able to join in, in the future....just start over. Repeats are allowed because we recognize that it's just unreasonable to think that
we can wear a favorite lipstick only once within a year. Do whatever works best for your individual circumstance...as long as you have fun doing it.

What did you order today

When I said that I've used them, I meant that they are not as neglected as my singles. I might try the lipstick challenge in a few months, because I've been wearing only YSL Nude Beige or Chanel Songe for the past few months. I don't even wear my boys!

Almost the entire Dolce & Gabbana spring collection

You kept pushing those pretty pictures under my nose! I got the blush, the lipstick & lip gloss (I got the gloss
because the lipstick was sold out on Sephora, but I found it later at Saks---oops), the colorful e/s quad and all 4 nail polishes. Going to take a seat in the corner now!!!

I saw the message that you left me----WITH THE LINK TO HARRODS

I'm glad you mentioned Songe---need to pull it out and give the love it deserves!

We're glad to have you for the e/s palette challenge. You can join the lipstick challenge at any time!!!

Oh and you're not getting off so easy Mrs B------you're one of the reasons that I purchased Raw Jade

But from the looks & swatches that I've seen, I'll be
thinking you for it!

Well! Today I wore Chanel's Muscade poudre universelle compacte and the two pink shades in YSL couture palette no.9 and TF Guillermo lipstick... and Chanel Plum Attraction JC blush applied with a kabuki (fail) and blended with my finger.

Plum Attraction is ahead 3-1 so far lol Will try it when I buy a Hakuhodo blush brush.

I saw your haul in the D&G thread. I'm sure you'll love them! I'll admit I haven't worn the lipgloss yet but it's absolutely gorgeous!

Today I decided to try something a bit different but I didn't have time to take a good picture of the makeup:

I'm wearing a nude es on my eyelids; the taupe from Unabashed as a transition shade and a burgundy from the Chocolate Bar to darken the crease. I lined my lower eyelid with Fyrinnae - Purgatory. The blush and the highlighter are from TF Softcore and the lipstick is the Stavros dupe - Kiko Taupe. I love the colour and I really really hope that they make Stavros permanent or at least repromote it asap.
