What are you wearing today?

[CatsMeow]

Yes - I read!

For some reason I find this collections' shadesticks easier to put on. Go figure! lol

Although, from my playing around with the testers of the collection this week, I'm thinking Cuddle s/s is a lot like Lemon Chiffon?? Nuture looks like it would be a great base for bridal colours tho.

I hate shade sticks with a passion!!! Grrrr

Cakeshop & Lemon Chiffon were both the biggest waste of money and I never use them because they're rubbish! I should have heeded the warnings and not gone near them, they're so crap I wouldn't even give them away to my friends because I think it's just mean.

There now I'm off my soap box

I finally wore something worthy of posting today, I've been pretty neutral/simple with my looks this week back at work, I think I'm still in holiday mode where I barely wore makeup at all.

Face
The usual

Eyes
TFSI
Hypnotizing e/s (Sorceress) - Inner half lid
Parfait Amour e/s - outer half lid
Hold My Gaze e/s (Sorceress) - crease
Silver Ring e/s - outer v
White Rabbit e/s (Sorceress) - brow & tear duct

Bright Future e/s - lower lash line
Alamay black liquid liner

Lips

[xLongLashesx]

Oh and I bet those last two weeks are dragging like nothing else!

 

[iheartmakeup]

I haven't posted in this thread in ages! Holidays make me really lazy :S

today was just

MAC MSF natural
NARS irresistiblement bronzer
covergirl lashblast
MAC ambient lipgelee

can you say boring?

 

[rockin26]

^ Is the MSFN really worth getting? I use SFP because I have really good skin and don't need the heavier liquid foundations but I was wondering what the MSFN would be like?

Sal you have no idea how much of a pain these last 2 weeks are going to be, gah!!!

 

[xLongLashesx]

Oh mate, I've got 7 weeks left of my crappy office job I went back to for the summer so I know exactly what counting down the days is like! Plus people start to treat you differently once they know you're going.. like if you're caught chatting you're lazy or something.

I think MSFN are great, more coverage than a regular powder so they're fantastic with tinted moisturiser to make the skin look polished. That said they're just a powder.. how good can a powder get? LOL..

Um so what was I wearing today?

Still into my warm and cozy haul for a smokey day look.

Constructivst p/p (relaxed s/s is just too much work)
Modelette all over the lid and up into the crease fading out to chamomile under the brow
Mulled Cider just on the lid
random 88 palette shimmery brown over the top
Ricepaper to highlight inner V
Carbon outer corner.

Cheeks-
Sunny by nature
Gingerly
Refined to highlight

lips
Big kiss lipglass.

I don't have lemon chiffon but from swatches it is more yellow? Cuddle comes out on me more white with gold sparkle.. i'm using it on the inner V under my highlight for some stick.. when I can be bothered!

 

[rockin26]

Poor Sal, 7 weeks!! What are you going onto after that? It's funny that my work is so crap that people are all like 'yeah good on you for getting out' and I think I won't be last to leave either, I'm pretty sure there is going to be a mass exodus this year. People are encouraging me to use up my sick leave before I go!! lol

You can have my Lemon Chiffon if you like?? Oh no that's just being cruel!

I mainly use it on no foundation days cos it's so easy. I really like it, I used to use it as a setting powder too until I discovered MUFE HD powder. It does give a really polished look to your base but I don't think it keeps shine away as well as some other powders.

In 7 weeks school starts.. YAY! I'd rather be in back to back lectures for 8 hours than working in the office.. Use up your sick leave at your peril... you don't want to burn any bridges! LOL..

And thanks for the offer but I think my foray into s/sticks is over.. the relaxed one dragged so much it hurt! boo.. such a shame though, they're all so pretty.

 

[xLongLashesx]

^^ I find MSFN does nothing for stopping shine either.. come to think of it, it's not really matte at all kind of satiny.

 

[iheartmakeup]

hey spectrolite (or anyone else!) do you find using the GPS on your lower lashline gets caught and clumps in the lashes? It's happened to me the last couple of times and it's driving me crazy!

face for shopping and buying nothing. good for my savings at least!

NARS oil free foundation
MUFE HD powder

MAC painterly paint pot
MAC tan pigment- lid
MAC dark soul pigment- outer corners
sportsgirl black pencil- waterline
covergirl lashblast

NARS irresistiblement bronzer
bobbi brown rose shimmerbrick

MAC lipglass from naked honey, forget the name!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and survived the heat!

 

[CatsMeow]

Hey Robyn, I hated shadesticks with a passion too (I only have Sea Me); but for some reason Relaxed s/s works for me... dunno whether they changed their formula or what, but I don't have the problems I experienced with Sea Me with Relaxed.

Oh and I do have Cakeshop s/s too - and yes, I agree that was crap! lol

Are you using is straight from the stick or on a brush? I found using the tips of my small shader brush it worked ok and was easy to smudge.

They had to have changed that formula Ali, surely they would have got the feedback that they suck-diddly-ucked

But then they're still making rubbish MES's too, so maybe not??

I think Sugar Sweet was my biggest let down collection last year, I could happily toss what I got from that. BBR so far has been the most fruitful and useful products from the one collection for me.

^Yes I do find that it clumps the lashes big time. So now I apply it to one eye at a time and blend it straight away with my #219 to remove any clumpiness (that word sounds disgusting lol... eww) before the greasepaint sets. Whats really turning me off about the B + V greasepaint sticks is the ungodly stench! They smell like rotting melted crayons but the colours are so pretty

This is my look from yesterday!

Face:
Prep+Prime Face Protect
MSF Natural - Dark
Amazing Concealer
Trace Gold Blush - Highlighting
Nars Crazed Blush
Fix+

Eyes:
Mehron Pastel Palette - Teal colour on lids
V Greasepaint Stick - Lower lash line
Heavenly Natural Beauty "Hypnotic" - Lids
Earthen Glow Minerals "Iolite" - Lower lash line
Cloudburst + Stormwatch - Crease
Feline+Blacktrack
Zoomblack Mascara

Lips:
Prep+Prime Lip
Pomposity Lipstick

I took a pic but its hours after I applied the makeup so the colours are not as vibrant , I'm super tired and kinda oily :X
