Theme Makeup with a Purpose

My nails are polished a similar shade of grey, with black crackle polish as well on my accent nail. I am in a grey mood... wearing black and grey today too. I don't know why, considering that it is going to be upwards of 100 degrees today.
As soon as I saw Trax I immediately thought---rose gold. I think it's an unsung hero among many MAC gems.

Aradhana!! So good to see you!!! How is school going?
I've been remiss in posting my looks everyday---or should I say everyday that I wear makeup. Today was one of those days that I went makeup free.
I hope you're able to find the Rainy Saeson quad---I reach for it more often then I ever thought I would!!
Take good care!!!!

Oh I keep forgetting I have Rainy Season. I need to work it in. I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't used Casino lipstick yet. I didn't use it because I was going to a Nars appointment and like to pull out products from the brand I haven't used in awhile if I can. Great idea to pair it with Pink Guilt.

I have an EL paint pot type product. I don't think I have that color though. I have forgotten all about them. I have been using LM Artist palette all week. Which prompted me to buy the new one yesterday. I really didn't need to but you know how it is. I will try your combinations. Thanks!

I haven't been doing the challenge but I was using my pink bag and wallet this week. I switched out of the bag but I'm still using the wallet.

I'll see if I can work in some pink makeup colors this week.

Haven't been wearing much pink. In the last two weeks only TF Pink Glow palette one day and Dior Esquisse another. But I've been wearing my BCA pin.

I've been slacking on the pink front, but I have used Wild Rose Shimmerbrick and NARS Mata Hari blush a few times. And I use Cindy Lou everyday with my brow highlight so I've snuck in some pink in here and there.

I've worn makeup a few times this Month. My eye looks weren't very memorable but I managed to wear pink each time. Now to remember which ones. LOL I did wear Silly, Tats, and the new liquid lip from Guerlain.

Hello ladies! Long time no see...

I'm back from our vacation in Sicily (which was nice, but we had torrential downpours for the first week, and then the airline lost my luggage on the flight back, so that was quite stressful) and have finally settled back into normalcy!

I've gotten a few beauty related bits and bobs during the time, but not much, because we're really moving to Asia next spring. So, come March, I'll chat with you all from Shanghai! In the meantime, I'll really have to cut back on makeup purchases. (Boo.)

I got EL's Liquid Lip Potion in Naughty Naive (coral) and the Little Black Primer at the Duty Free, got Fashion Revival and Nice Composure Paintpot from MAC, and managed to order the Holiday Meteorites. So exited for those! I hope they arrive this week.

Also: Aradhana!!!!! So happy to see you!

During vacation time I wore the most basic makeup, but since I've come back I at least managed to work in one pink item at least into makeup looks. I wore Fashion Revival a lot, At Dusk EDB, tried to finish Clinique's chubby in whoppin watermelon, and the pink Miley VG. Not really elaborate looks, though, but I'm quite happy to manage those easy and quick looks lately and not living in my pjs day after day. Working from home can be challenging lol.
Will try to get back into 'real' looks!

@ the bolded:That sounds exciting. Traveling through Europe with a side of Intercontinental Relocation lol. I am wearing OCC Anime Lip Tar and IMAN powder blush in Peace for my pink items today. My eyes are some neutral from a Sonia Kashuk palette and lotsa mascara.

I believe that post was spam, so I deleted it. (It was flagged as such long after the fact.)

That lipstick is so becoming on you!!! Great color!!! It reminds me of Christian Louboutin's lipstick in Zoulou. I had to force myself NOT to wear it.
