Theme Makeup with a Purpose

[aradhana]

ok ladies, I'm joining the purple challenge. I did a look last week, that I tried to redo and it didn't work out as well. I finally used my hourglass powder and loved it. I looked pretty. Nope not bragging, but it was a very pretty glow. But I need to step it up. I even owe some of you some pms... smh

which powder did you choose?

you owe us pms?

Thanks for these recs - I will try. I def have the lip pencils you mention, I think I am just mad about not getting Heroine liner. Any ideas for Grape? Because I am soooo planning to use Grape with Heroine until this little nub of a pencil until it runs out.

Can't you order Heroine l/l from Nordstrom? It's on back order, but it will ship when they say I'm pretty confident. Then you won't have to be singing 'Where is the nub' or 'Wookin pa nub'.

You know what when I went to Nordstrom website, it did not show Heroine - this is great - I will try to backorder it! Thank you.

PM's... Punctuation is key. i need to stop being lazy.

Aradhana. Out of the loop, but being very constructive! Your room sounds lovely!!!
It really helps me when I hear what others are using during our theme challenges because someone usually mentions a product that I'd totally
forgotten about. That's what really motivated me to shop my stash for purple items. I also often forget to expand my makeup looks by using multi-
purpose products too; or using a product with a moistened brush to improve the color pay-off, etc. So, is Heroine eyeshadow as vibrant as it appears
in photos? It looks really pretty.

hello ladies!
been out of the loop a little...
i've been on my phone using specktra the last couple of days, which isn't the easiest with which to keep up with the threads!
i picked up heroine eyeshadow, so maybe i will wear that tomorrow as part of purple challenge. most of my makeup is inaccessible for the moment, which is a bit of a bummer.
but...i'm almost done painting my room! it's mostly a pale grey ('american white') with a feature wall in magenta ('gypsy pink').

medgal - your list of makeup you've pulled out of your stash reminded me of a bunch of items in mine that are going unused. i should absolutely do something similar and pull out all my theme items each month so that it nudges me towards actually remembering to use them!

TT - your purple lips look wonderful! i haven't seen mirrored plum around here...but i have narcissus, so i guess i should be able to combine that with my heroine

for similar effect.

Have I missed something here?

She said she owed folks some pms which of course reads PMS not private messages initially. It was a funny.

Thanks MissTT. I thought that might be the case, but you never know with our Prettypackages

I had that blush in my hand today. I was looking for some mirrored plums for CP's, when I couldn't find them, I put it back down.

I won't lie - the color got me, and I wondered if it wasn't the same as maybe Modern Mandarin, and I ignored it for weeks. I just had to grab it when they had the BOGO 50% sale at RiteAid. I really like it. It is easier to deposit color (I really have to work to get Modern Mandarin on my brush, and it's hard to build it up on my face), it is a little brighter. I like.

And, thanks Medgal - I felt kinda fly today lol.

That's another reason why I didn't get it. I just picked up MM two weeks ago. If the color payoff is all that though, I'm gonna get it. It was just so pretty and I didn't want to put it down. I'll probably give it to my daughter if it's too similar to MM. I was planning to get if for her anyway since I wasn't getting it for myself. I've been pushing makeup on her lately. Her spoiled butt doesn't mind one bit. That wildchild chose Peacocky at the CCO last weekend. How she gonna wear blue lips?

MissTT, ROFL at the comments about your daughter!!!!

We know our Glammy Girl is on the mend, but I'm sending out well-wishes and a group hug to a couple of folks we haven't seen around in a while like PixieDancer and PrettyGirl Doc. Ladies, life gets busy and our focus must change from time-time, but just know that we're thinking of you and sending positive, loving thoughts your way. If I've missed anyone please forgive me---so not intended. Be well everyone!!!!
