I really enjoyed this challenge with you ladies.  I'm sorry I started so late b/c it was a lot of fun. 

I look forward to February, and I agree let's do a fall colored themed for November.

So Burnt Orange, Red, Golden Yellow/Orange, Brown,  and what else??? 

Seems to be an echo up in here...(tee hee, so sorry...I double quoted by accident).  Seriously, Long before BCA Month & our pink challenge, I was thinking of doing a weekly theme as a way to use up some of my products, and BTM for items on my running wish-list.  So, autumn theme one week, red lips another, or a 'color family' like orange & coral, and using one foundation for an entire week, and or a paint pot.  I really need to see some empty containers soon!  

Only if everyone submits ideas about what they would like to do, and we do it on a weekly basis to avoid 'theme burnout.'    I'm in!!           

Okay, presstoblend & prettypackages...let's do this!  Glammygirl we don't want you to be left out so why not participate using colors currently appropriate for you region?  Since part of the goal is to help us to use up our products (at least that was my personal intent) perhaps we should be more flexible.  This should be fun and not burdensome.  Individually, we can use the same foundation or paintpot, or even eyeshadow for that matter.  Whatever works for you, within the broad and general theme of the week or two weeks.  It's our project so we can tweak it any way you want.  I don't know if you want to post what you wear on a daily basis?  What about selecting one favorite of the week and share that particular one.  Then others can try that look, if so inclined.  Should we go Monday to Monday for a two week period or an entire month?  I'll give folks a chance to weigh in and then I'll start a new thread.  

Speaking of autumn & trees and fall colors, I took this photo of our Japanese Maple today.  I happened to look out and the color was so vibrant that I snapped a photo.  It reminded me of Hidden Treasure blush, which is what I'm wearing today.

A new theme a week?  What about every two weeks, to give us late comers time to catch up.  I don't know why I started thinking of more ideas towards the end of this challenge.  Oh yeah, work drama and etc...  

I have another idea after we do our Autumn theme.   After seeing the Spring 13 Pantone colors, which are going to be beautiful for us WOC, lets have a Month were we do the Pantone color scheme for the season.  

Ok, I just looked up the Pantone Fall 2012 scheme and it is similiar to an Autumn theme, but the Autumn colors I was thinking of are richer darker/ like the color of leaves when they turn.   My mother has a tree outside of her house that turns the most beautiful shade of burgundy red.  

Another idea is pin up girl looks.  maybe we'll do that for a week, that might get boring.   

I was reading a fashion web magazine, and glamorous goth is a theme this year.  that might be an idea.  I'll post the article later. B/c it is not your Marilyn Manson goth.  

We can have a use up your oldest product theme. 

No problem presstoblend.  I'll start the thread within a day or so.  I hope several people will participate.  I think it can be a fun way to share various makeup looks, while focusing on our individual products that we'd like to use up.  That was my original intent.  I had started some time ago and now have several empties to B2M next week.  We can have a theme or color scheme of the month. If people share their favorite look for a given week instead of a daily look it should seem less labor intensive.  We want this to be fun and not feel like a chore.  Those who wish to post photos can do so, but simply listing the products used is fine for those of us who are too shy to post a pic.  I think I'll call the thread 'Theme Makeup with a Purpose' or 'Purposeful Theme Makeup'
