I chose the colors that looked pretty in the tube due to the non color pay off. I like the coral looking one too but passes as I have so many lippies that color. Oh!the deeper plum shade did yield a slight tint....

I don't work in a normal office, so i can usually wear whatever i want, blue violet, teal, frosted forest green, to hang out at the local café. But, for example, when i'm meeting a client, especially for the first time, i'll wear a sensible "normal" color. I want them to think i'm competent, not wacky. I consider Hot Chocolate and Double Shot to fall into that "safe" range, along with warm pinks and pinky peaches. I don't wear red, orange, or bright/hot pink in any circumstance, because i look terrible in them.

 

But i know many people have to conform to some standards in their place of work, where safe or "normal" colors are de rigueur. So, i say, crack out the fun colors when you're not there!

My favorite powder is Careblend. It's the only one that doesn't feel heavy and coating on my dry skin and it's got a radiant finish without being showy-glowy. It evens out my skin without looking like I'm wearing powder. It doesn't crease up if I apply it under the eyes, either. The Careblend bronzer from a couple years ago was amazing too - I really hope MAC does something about bringing those back and just generally keeping Careblend's profile high. Discontinuing the MCLPs has gotten me all worried about Careblend now.

 

I'm not much of a concealer person, but I am very happy with the Mineralize one. It's the only one moist enough to not crease or bunch up under my eyes and it does a good job of concealing everything I need (although I don't mind a few freckles, I do have a couple of age spots near my eyes I like to erase). The other good thing about it is it has caffeine in it, so it depuffs me. Combining it with P&P Vibrancy Eye gives serious depuff-o-rama.

 

I do think Amber Glow is a particularly great blush for the no makeup look for me - wearing it, I really don't need to bother with a full face of powder. Just a little of it takes my face to the next level. I've never backed up a blush in my life, but I'm actually considering it for AG and maybe Alpine Bronze. If you took away all my other blushes and left me AG, I'd be ok with it.

I gave in and got a BU of Après Chic yesterday. I'm wearing it today with Stereo Rose as a blush, Strada to contour and on my eyes I have Winter Pursuit on the lids, Fireside in the crease and Blanc Type on the browbone. It's kinda inspired by the promo image. I love it! It's a very natural look (for me at least) with some warmth to it.

I'm also wearing the BB cream and I think I really like it. It's very light coverage and I have problems most of the time with light coverage stuff, because they always seem more watery or oilier or something and don't work with my oily skin. The BB cream doesn't have that problem yay! I use a bit of Studio Finish concealer to cover some red spots and set it with MSFN.

I've also used Amber Glow a couple of times already and it's a very nice natural blush with a glow to it. It has a slight peach tint to it without having too much colour to it which I sometimes want for bolder eyes/lips.

There are also a couple of great sales going on too. One with Zoya and another with A England. I took part in the sales and it will be my first time trying both brands.
