So happy to hear you, Abby and the neighbours are unscathed. Hopefully the power people get it sorted soon.

Coral/Orange was our first week. We can always loop back once we've finished up though. I was so busy that week that I hardly got to do any looks with coral/orange so I'd be down for a "do-over".
That's right Shars. We did. Monday June 8 to Sunday June 14 we wore PEACH/CORAL. Yes, we can start from the beginning, repeating color--weeks once
we've exhausted the previously requested colors. I'm good for another week of Peach/Coral too!!!

Posting today's look early because I had one of those days and am exercising my right to a home HH & dance party. Can't trust later postings!

Day Four (Thursday):
Primers: Guerlain Meteorites (face), NARS Pro Prime SmudgeProof (eyes)
Concealers: NARS Concealer (face), Creamy Concealer (eyes & highlight)
Foundation: Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges
Blush: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush- Incandescent Electra
Contour: Marc Jacobs #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder- Dream Filter
Highlight: NARS Alabaster
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Nude
Brows: Tom Ford Brow Perfecter
Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow 02 Trench (to brow), Tom Ford Cognac Sable (lightest shade)- lids, MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow- Lorelei (crease)

Mascara: Guerlain Maxi Lash
Lipliner: Dior Greige
Lipstick: Tom Ford Indian Pink & Pink Tease
Setting: Laura Mercier Translucent
Mani: Christian Louboutin Alta Perla
Pedi: NARS Thasos

OK, I ADORE Alta Perla! No chips 24 hours in, too.

I had serious meetings today, hence the super subdued look. And with the day tomorrow's threatening to be, I'll be lucky to get any makeup on!

Med, I'm happy to hear that you and everyone near and dear is ok. That must've been extremely scary!

I wore extremely conservative and nude makeup yesterday with just a little bit of sneaky green eyeliner (Sephora's Good Mood) thrown in, but today I used that Mochachino/Olivine combo I talked about earlier.

FACE:
My own mixed Armani Crema Nuda dupe/diy
Bourjois concealer for under eyes, BareMineral concealer for everything else
Nars Translucent Powder
Guerlain Terra Ora - dark ring as bronzer/blush, lighter one as highlighter

EYES:
EL Mochachino all over lid and into crease
Chanel Olivine over the lid, slightly buffed out and up to make the sparkles more obvious
MAC Orb to highlight
EL kajal in brown
L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara

LIPS:
Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Bucolic Poppy

Tomorrow I plan to wear Sisley Phyto-Eye Twist in Bronze that I won recently and that arrived today.

Thanks so much Anneri! It was pretty scary---Abby and I make a lousy Dorothy & Toto!!!
You have some awesome eyeshadows. I looked up Mochachino & it's really NICE!!!!

I was on theme today, only by my nails. I was in all black, including a smokey eye look that I constructed with the Charlotte Tilbury Fallen Angel palette but and my new green Chanel NP, Fraîcheur provided a nice pop of color.

Sorry to hear about the storm and the damage, but I'm glad you and your Toto are all right! That Chanel polish is such a beautiful springy green! I must find it! I've been trying to stick with the green plan, and I have, although on a couple of days, the only thing green I was wearing was an article of clothing. I feel like today made up for it, though, because I tried something new and green and was really happy with the results. Face: Stila BB cream Nars luminous weightless foundation "mont blanc" Nars radiant creamy concealer "vanilla" Clinique pansy pop blush Guerlain joile teint "blonde Clair 00" Eyes Mac paint pot "painterly" Mac fluid line brow "deep dark brunette" Armani eye tint "emeraude" (ALL over the lid and into the crease) Guerlain écrin 1 couleur "taupe secret" (used to soften the edges of "emeraude") Mac "dazzlelight " (brow highlight) UD 24/7 liner "Invasion" Dior New Look mascara Lips Rouge Dior "Rose spring" (dc shade, peachy pink) Emeraude made the deep green smoky eye of my dreams. Dramatic, maybe, but the one advantage to very hooded eyes is that you can get away with that. Happy weekend!

 

[Medgal07]

Happy weekend!

Thanks Katred!! I LOVE Emaraude!!!! You did make up for it. I'm obsessed with it. You gave me an idea for the weekend. I hope you have a great one too!

*bows to the Chanel, cannot wait to get her own*

Once again, I'm a day late on FOTD-posting. Work is literally and figuratively running me ragged.

It's summer, so I should be rocking my brighter greens. Instead, it's my olives/khakis that are dragging me in. We totally will need green week part II!

Friday (Green Week Day Five):
Primers: Guerlain Meteorites (face) & NARS Pro-Prime (eyes)
Concealers: NARS & NARS Creamy (eyes)
Foundation: Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges
Blush: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush- Dim Infusion
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 00 Nude
Highlighter: ColourPop Lunch Money (these are seriously awesome, I'm so impressed)
Setting Powder: Laura Mercier
Brows: Tom Ford
Eyeshadow: Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow- Trench (I should explain- I'm so pale that you can actually see some blood vessels in the delicate eye area from the crease to the brow, so I always need eyeshadow to cover them), Giorgio Armani Eye Tints- Green Iron (lid), Rose Ashes (crease)
Eyeliner: Marc Jacobs Highliner- O(Vert)
Mascara: Chanel Le Volume
Lipliner- Lancome's clear one (not beside me, lol)
Lipstick: Dior Addict Extreme- 343 Spring Ball
Mani: Christian Louboutin Alta Perla (I am in love with this color!)
Pedi: NARS Thasos


Clothing and Accessories:
Green/gold top
Sequin NYC Green enamel bangle (sad to see they're no longer at Nordstrom- these are my summer go-tos!)

Oh, and I brought out one of the big guns (I have 5 total green purses): 2006 Balenciaga Emerald Day Hobo

I selected the GA Eye Tints for a long day- I had no idea how long or stressful it would be. That spilled into my Saturday, which I'll pull together in a bit. I'm probably going 2 different looks today. For example, it's 1:46PM here and I've not yet made it to the shower yet.

Thanks Katred!! I LOVE Emaraude!!!! You did make up for it. I'm obsessed with it. You gave me an idea for the weekend. I hope you have a great one too!

I've tried Emeraude a few ways, but letting it take the spotlight is actually my favourite. (Although it also makes a killer liner.) I did get a slight patchiness when applying it, but that's really just due to my massive hoodies. It wasn't too evident (saw it more in photos than in person) and it didn't get any more pronounced as the day wore on. I'm amazed at how fade-resistant these eye tints are!!! I think to avoid any patchiness whatsoever, I'd have to wait with my eyebrows raised and holding my lids taut for a few minutes. I'm just not willing to commit to that yet...

 

[starletta8]

Green Week Day Six Part I (Saturday):
Foundation: Chanel Les Beiges All in One Healthy Glow Fluid
Concealer: NARS Creamy Concealer
Powder: Chanel Les Beiges
Eyeshadow: Laura Mercier Caviar Stick- Sugar Frost
Mascara: Chanel Le Volume
Lipstick: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Shine- 825 Lovers Coral

Mani: Formula X Surreal
Pedi: Butter London British Racing Green
Clothing: Mint cotton cardigan (it's cool and rainy, so I needed something with my shorts and T!)

So this was my "rolling out of bed to get take-out brunch" look. It's about as close to 0 makeup as I like to be in public. I lived in the Chanel last year, but my skin's been acting up too much to get away with such sheer coverage. For those wondering how I get away with no blush- I have rosacea about the color of Chanel's Rose Bronze blush (about half a shade lighter) on my cheekbones. It's both a blessing and a curse since I don't ever really need blush. I was blessed with some naturally.

I don't go in-depth into my looks often, but I want to give an unexpected rave to the Revlon lipstick. I picked it up at Rite Aid this week since there was a Plenti offer associated with it that would make it a net $2.99 essentially. It's super sheer and shiny. This is a perfect one or two-swipe formula for me- it's just as good, if not better, than Chanel Rouge Coco Shines! It hurts to say that, but I was stunned. I can see it living in my purse all summer as a touch-up color.

I have some errands to run, so I'll be posting a (real) look #2.

That would be a huge commitment
So, so pretty! With the eyeshadow, the lipstick and your top, you looked beautifully color-blocked.

I enjoy not wearing blush from time to time. I just wear bronzer---like today. Not much green happening her today beyond my Chanel Fraîcheur (Spring Green) 767 nail polish. It's cold and rainy
here and my day got off to a crazy start, so makeup creativity was back-burnered. I had even planned to wear a green sundress to day but it's way too cold for that.


So what shade is the wonder lippie by Revlon. I love finding unexpected gems, and I can never go into Rite Aid w/o grabbing some little MU or nail item.

It's #827- Lovers Coral. The shine formula, not the regular one- the only difference is that the bottom says "Shine" above the shade number and name.

Sounds really nice!

Everything's flooded! So I look awesome and have returned to my home to re-heat leftovers and drink a beverage by myself.

ETA: I forgot... I messed up my newly-minted mani, so now that has to change again! Ay yi yi!
