Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[Prettypackages]

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!

Thank you! I hope so too! They stressed how important a work/life balance is to them. Hopefully it is true.

@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.

LOL too funny. I'll do it just for you, like for real... Tell me about this mineral sunscreen you are using..

What shadows did you get?


I'm trying to figure out a hot look for tomorrow, but I'm not feeling it. Had a headache all day. But I wanted to wear something that stood out b/c mmy coworker said she is going to miss seeing lipsticks. LOL
Tomorrow is going to be so bitter sweet. Out of the Coworkers I've told they've responded with "Why, FML, you're leaving me/us, WHY? *pouts* Blank stares, and silence, Take me with you" My other coworker I sit kiddy corner too, is older, well she acts like she is older than she is. She is only 57. But our Supervisor is not always patience with her in her tone. It infruriates me, so I always tried to be patient with her when she asked for help. Then the later you stay, you end up talking and bonding (We were there 12-14 hour days it's going to happen)
She told me she is really going to miss me and I was so supportive of her and she was able to lean on me during this year end. I started to tear up. OUr other neighbor just left on maternity leave, so she is by herself now in that section. She would help her a lot too. I really want to take her with me tomorrow. LOL
BUUUUUT... I know, as soon as Monday comes, and I'm at the new gig and I don't have certain things to deal with, I will be excited/happy again.

ok, rambling over... I need to go play in lipsticks. I'm leaning towards Pleasure Bomb...

I hope they meant that and live up to it. I hope you have a good last day, as much as those things go, and that
your headache goes away too. That was so sweet of you to have been so helpful and patient with your
coworker!

[@]Prettypackages[/@], I've been using the Equitance sunscreen broad spectrum spf 36. Equitance ran a 1/2 off special with free shipping so I tried it. I like it but don't like that the bottle I have expires in September. Perhaps that's why the sunscreen was on sale? I do lik that I don't have to apply a separate primer though.

Thank you for the information. I'll look into it.

I did. So here is the full break down.

Nothing too special b/c I crashed out the night before and was rushing the next day.

Eyes:
Urban Decay Enigma primer (not sure I like it)
Armani Eye Tint 8. I nice pretty pink/purple/pearl, depending on how the light hits it. It's Beautiful
Brown shadow in crease.
Becca concealer in Coffee, over BB Deep Peach. Set with EX1 Invisiwear powder P300. I looked really refreshed and awake. I don't know if it was the concealer or the fact that I've been using Algenist Melting cleanser and Clarins Lotus treatment oil, and Algenist Eye balm. I mean, I have only been using them for a few days. But, not to brag, I looked great. OR maybe it was the fact that it was my last day.
FACE:
Blush: Clinique Nude Blush, not a lot of color, but a great glow.
EX1 mineral powder in F400
Ruby Kisses concealer in Toffee on dark spots with Bobbi Brown Dark Peach corrector. Much better for me than Deep Peach.

lips: Pleasure Bomb. My coworker was like can I have that... I was quickly shaking my head. un uh...




Thank you for the information. I'll look into it.

LOL, I hope it works for you. I thought I looked more awake, no creasing of my concealer, and my skin just looked brighter.

You already have amazing skin & a gorgeous complexion Pretty!!!! I'm hooked on Algenist products too.
What are you doing up so late? Did you take a few days off between jobs? I think I need another cup of tea now. i drink so much tea I should just have a Chai Intravenous!

Awww thank you! I appreciate that.(it's the makeup LOL) I really noticed the difference in the under eye area.
No I didn't. I don't hve to be there until 930, but yes, I need to be in bed. I'm crashing. So I'll probably fall out soon. Just want to put together the makeup. clothes are already laid out.

Wearing same face as last week except wearing LaFemme powder blush in Rust. Wearing KvD Painted Love l/s in A-Go-Go. Feel very spring-y today. Forgive the shortness...posting from my phone. Trying to figure out how to attach a pic from phone. I really like how my look came out today. I keep getting some techincal jargon-y error message. Damn software update.

*runs off to buy all of the things*

Me too! I want to look flawless like Pretty!!

Hey ladies. I have so fallen off the wagon with our challenges. I have been trying to keep up with the lipstick one but I haven't been writing down which ones I wore what days.

I have them all laid out on my bed hoping that I took a lot of selfies and can assign them to their respective days haha. The blush one has been a fail because I've been travelling and just grabbed my sleek trio palettes while rushing. I have to say though, I finally got around to trying the two Edward Bess blushes I bought from Sephora when they were clearing out EB stuff and they are absolutely amazing.... smooth, not powdering and blend like a dream. I may just pick up one or two more if I can get over that price tag!

I've by and large stayed on challenge/theme but I'm so boring. I'll post my month-long stats on May 1. I've been so busy buying all the things that I've
not been creative while using what things I do have!!

I'm glad you're happy with the EB blushes. They sound really nice!!!! Which ones were you able to nab???

 

[Medgal07]

I almost forgot. A few weeks ago we talked about having 'HIGHLIGHTER' month. If everyone is up for it, tomorrow Friday May 1 will be the start of a different highlighter each day, for the month!!! I'm actually looking forward to this one because I get lazy and reach for the same few highlighters. I think I'll go from my oldest products to my newest ones.
