Thank you so much ladies!
Anneri, you're right. I'm certain this job has aged me ten years, increased my gray,and is the reason for the increase in my migraines.

Good riddance-----stress will make you sick quicker than a germ!!!

I had forgotten all about that one---the challenges are great for getting us to look back and past loves!!!

Yes! I think you would like the Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronzer, Ritual (bronze w/pink shimmer). It looks scary in the compact and the description really frightened
me, but I stepped out on strong recommendations from Vee & Psych 1, and I'm now so glad I did. Forget the description and the appearance of the product. It actually
looks like a medium chocolate brown on me---so ideal for bronzing & contouring. I haven't been this excited about a product that was no where near my radar screen in
ages.

​I can imagine your struggle going from nudes to colors, and then trying to break the mold in your environment at the same time. I love nudes and their quiet clean
sophistication but sometimes a girl just needs some color!!!

That will be my personal challenge for May - more colour on the eyes and the lips!

I'm a bit late but YAYYYYY!! I'm so happy for you. The change of scenery will be good and I'm sure you won't be getting as many migraines!!

Hope everyone has had a good week and weekend!

OK, I call this PINK Overload... FACE: NYX Photo Loving primer over Dr. Brandt pore refiner, tinted ELDW, 6W1 Rich Ginger, with a drop of Fresh Tsubaki oil (testing to see if this helps with the lack of radiance - it DOES) EL Double Matte pressed powder, Med/Deep some concealer ... LaFemme powder blush, Magenta EYES: WnW Fergie primer LaFemme Mulberry Blush (this will be the only pink eyeshadow for me in the future - WHAT a punch of color and doesn't make my allergy-ridden eyes look sick) on lids, blended into crease with MAC Shag (showing pan...getting panicky...need to find a replacement that comes close to it...) MAC Dipdown fluidline on brows (could not find my ABH brow pomade...this works in a pinch...need a LIGHT hand) Rimmel London Special Eyes e/l, Black, on top lid only L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara, Black LIPS: MAC Party Parrot blended with Vino lip pencil for ombre pink lip eta: I just heard my boss is not coming in. I sort of feel relieved. I am not sure how this pink overload would go over with her. She would not be catty, but she would probably want to know how I did it and like it but give me the "I can't do all that" speech which would take away some of the enjoyment. I don't like it when people comment on it in general. I dunno why. People assume people wear makeup because of other people, but I don't. I just want a little enjoyment. It lifts my mood (this bright pink is doing big things for me on a gloomy day outside).

I always feel happy, if someone with nicely done makeup tells me that she likes something about mine but I hate it, when people, who don't wear makeup notice something (bright lipstick, eyeshadows, etc.) and make assumptions and stupid comments. I'm surrounded by people, who wear little to no makeup, so I tend to wear only neutrals because as you said - I wear it for my own enjoyment, which is ruined when I see someone staring (not in a good way) at my bright lips

I haven't worn makeup in the past few days because I've been studying for my exams but today the #kyliejennerchallenge was everywhere, so I decided to try it

- minus the shot glass, only lip liners. The pictures are blurred because her lips look super smooth (filters and/or fillers) and mine don't:




I can't imagine going out all the time with lipstick/liner up to my nose

   [COLOR=0000FF]That was not "a cheat," Jay.  You did that for research right?  That shouldn't count!!![/COLOR]:haha:

You know what? Some days I don't even do my face until I've eaten dinner! I keep telling myself I need to use all this makeup up somehow and if I'm too tired to do my full face at 6am, 7pm will just have to do.

I hate that, too. Especially when it's coming from family. Thankfully it doesn't happen to often! [@]Prettypackages[/@], congratulations on your new job! Not to take away from your thunder but I'm about halfway there myself! I just had an interview yesterday morning after having a great phone interview a week ago. They said they'll be in touch to schedule a second in-person one and I'm so excited/nervous! Hopefully your success rubs off via Specktra lol.

It works for me Sage! I love pink and your look sounds very pretty. You've inspired me to have a pink day sometime soon.
The next time your boss wants to know how to do makeup refer her to a You Tube video.

How do you like ELDW? I just ordered some----it will be my first EL foundation.

​ Those of us who are makeup enthusiasts do so because we derive real enjoyment from it---buying it, trying it and collecting it!!!! There's nothing better

Those lip pics are hysterical....especially the comment about lipliner up to your nose---PRICELESS!

I've been keeping up with our dual challenge, as well as, my personal challenge to wear at least one new product each week.

 

[meka72]

Looking good ladies! I'm going to jump back (like double dutch) at some point. Lol. @PP, congrats on the new job! But apparently you're not that excited because you didn't do the cabbage patch-running man combo. Lol. I'm so stuck in 1987. @Sage, I picked up the Black Opal/Black Radiance matte primer. I love it! I've been using a mineral sunscreen that also acts as a primer but it wasn't keeping my nose as oil free as possible. I put the matte primer on my nose area only and it has been doing a great job of keeping matte (except those little pools of oil in the corners of my nose). I need to blot during the day though.

Pretty blush Sage--I looked it up because I like the name. Looking forward to your eye looks w/ your new MUFE shadows. I'm still in boring mode w/my eye looks---GA Eye Tints make the possible. I really love those things. I wore Tom Ford Contouring Cheek Color Duo, Stroked (Peach) 02 and MAC Fluff (Neutral tan) lipstick. I'm not inspired by our weather which still thinks it's winter---down to 37 degrees tonight. I need sunshine and bright lipstick!!!!!
