[spectrolite]

Lol, I just posted my look in the "Shop Your Stash Challenge" thread but I'll copy and paste it here as well Your lip combo sounds pretty btw. I might try that one out this week. I have to get Crazee to work for me somehow...:/

Well I have dark skin (NW45) and Groundwork is basically the same as my lid colour so the colour showed up exactly like it did in the jar - a silvery, browny colour. It's a really pretty colour and I've neglected it for a long time. Omg on me I think Crazee looks crazy. It's really super frosty/pearly and reminds me of orange sherbert! I'm determined to make it work though since I have it

Today I wore a purpley look. I was really pleased with it! >_<

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Nice Vice p/pOutspoken Mineralized Duo - Purple side wet on the lids, and the burgundy colour in the crease with Entremauve + a bit of Carbon
Wish pigment (Heavenly Natural Beauty) - Highlight
Blacktrack Fluidline
Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara - love this!
Some glitter in the outer corners - It's a new roller glitter thingy from The Body Shop. Sooo pretty!

Cheeks/Face:
Mineralize SPF15 Foundation
Trace Gold - Highlight
Crushed Bougainvillea CCB
Ablaze blush
Northern Light MSF

Lips:
So Scarlett Lipstick in the morning w/Velvetela cremestick liner
Crushed Bougainvillea in the arvo - couldn't be bothered reapplying the lippie lol...

[sambibabe]

Crushed Bougainvillea in the arvo - couldn't be bothered reapplying the lippie lol...

I know! I am like that too, especially the darker colour one that requires brush application grrrr.. Hmm.. I didn't buy Crushed Bougainvillea - did I miss out? Mauvement just looks like dirty plum on me.. Maybe I will have a go again.. You guys have such complicated eye makeups lol!

What is Quick Frost like?

[spectrolite]

^^Crushed Bougainvillea is AMAZING. Initially I turned my nose up at the Ungaro collection and thought it sucked but after seeing the CCB in person and trying it out I was sold. It is so versatile too - It looks really pretty on lips on it's own or with gloss and on cheeks it gives you a really pretty rosy glow. I just pat it on to the apples of my cheeks and blend outwards with my fingers and then buff it out softly with my Too Faced kabuki >_< (which is also amazing btw).

If you suit berry tones then it might work for you. I love it so much I was thinking of getting a backup but honestly I think it will last me a while. Definately try it out next time you visit a counter.

And LOL, thanks to Specktra I have complicated eye makeup. When I started out I was a 1 colour girl, then I slowly went up to 2 colours, then 3..4..sometimes 5+

I agree! I love playing with pigments/mineralised eye shadows, I haven't opened my palettes for awhile! I will have to look at Quick Frost.. It sounds like MUFE Star Powder I have? It looks like white powder, but iridescent green on skin.

lol.. I remember that! I like Ungaro collection except the eye colours. It must have been a quite popular collection though as a lot of stuff are sold out online. MA at Myer Melbourne showed me Fresh Morning and I went Meh~. I am going to Chapel store on Sunday, so I will have to check it out (if they have any left!). 5+ colours? lol.. I do that on Sundays too, when I don't have to rush to get to work and spend more time playing.

[MrsMay]

today's look:

Blacktrack
Volume Exact mascara

Face:

Blushbaby blush

Lips:
Spice lipliner
Saplicious lipgelee

I thought I would pick copper sparkle today as I am wearing a work top which has our logo... and part of our logo is the exact same colour as copper sparkle! And because I pressed a heap of my pigments last weekend and I hadnt used it yet.. it was sitting there saying "use me! use me!"

[sambibabe]

Good morning! I am determined to have this look work for me! So another experiment of neutral eyes and strong lips.

Lips:

Nars Schiap l/s ---> still too dark!

[spectrolite]

^^If you want a really good Fuchsia that is not too dark then try and track down MAC's Immodest Mattene. It is stunning! It looks just like the lippie that the model is wearing.

Today I went for some serious drama and glamor and showed off some leg in a black mini dress. Blue Storm was one of my favorite collections last year and the over cast conditions inspired me to use the colours I bought back then for a look.

Cheeks/Face:
Ablaze Blush (Smoke Signals) - I've been using this heaps lately. I think I'm just lazy

Lips:
4N + Sugar Trance - I use this combo alot too... Lazy for sure.

[sambibabe]

Oh boy, spectrolite, how many eye lids and creases do you have? Definitely some serious eyeshadow application there! No wonder you get lazy with cheeks and lips, after putting so much work on your eyes lol.

Thanks so much about Immodest Mattene idea! I bought Snob today and thought I would mix it with a bit of impassioned lipstick. I am also picking up Lipmix pink this weekend, so I can make this 'magenta' lipstick shade I saw on the magazine! Grr..

[pdtb050606]

^^Lolz!! >_< I play up my eyes since I have to hide them behind my thick black glasses. Once I put them on some of my eye makeup gets hidden away. And I get to dress up every single day to go to work so no look is too over the top.

[MrsMay]

Ok chickies, my look is extremely boring today due to waking up VERY late (to the sound of the taxi arriving) and hence my makeup was done in the bathroom at Adelaide Airport

Eyes:
UDPP
Lily White pigment (all over lid)
Coco pigment (crease)
Blacktrack fluidline
Volume Exact mascara
YSL touche eclat (under eyes - needed that this morning lol!)

Face:
Inglot skin primer

Studio Fix NW20
Stark Naked blush (applied with 181 kabuki as I left my 187 at home in the rush )

Lips:
Chanel lipliner Pivoine (#32)
Rags to Riches dazzleglass

Okay, I really need to go back to sleep now... do you reckon if I keep reminding myself that I am hitting the Pro store this weekend in Sydney that will keep me awake?

[sambibabe]

LOL.. I am glad I am not the only one having a bleh makeup day!

what do you think of Crosswires, pdtb? I think it is very similar to Crazee without the pearls. Oh well, they look the same on my lips, anyway!

Okay, now it makes sense Wow, is that mean, not only you have a huge MAC haul, but you have a wonderful shoe/suit/dress collection? heehee

MrsMay, what are you getting from the pro store? I am going to the Melbourne Pro store this Sunday.

Anyway, I am feeling tired and flat today and having a bad hair day (damn fringe) doesn't help either!! Today, I decided to stay away from the dark lips and I feel like my look is a bit washed out without it.

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Cream Base in Luna
Tempting e/s - all over lid and crease
Golden Lemon pigment - centre
Tiny bit of Forest Green pigment - outer lid
White gold pigment - inner lid and lower lash
Benefit High Beam - brow bone

Cheeks:
So Ceylon - contour
Orgasm - a bit of colour
Soft & Gentle - cheek highlight

Lips:
Gingeroot l/l
Bombshell l/s (on my pigment lips, this looks neutral pink)
Ungaro Pastel Emotion l/g

I am probably only getting some more 15 pan palettes, as I will be pressing a heap of pigments for my friend as her Christmas present. As I just spent $140 on dresses yesterday I cant really afford too much more lol.

Have you tried Ravishing? I like it better because it is more 'out there' for my skintone than Crosswires..

Oh that's nice!! Wonderful MAC pigments and handmade! I just hope the pro store is not busy on Sunday as I need to hassle MA there.
