Meddy do you think Dior Trafalgar is a good replacement for Chanel Harmonie palette?
I pulled them both out and you know Pretty, they are similar. Trafalgar, the quint has a white shadow in it that
Harmonie, the quad does not. I'll take a side by side photo when there's daylight and swatch both palettes for you.
I happen to love Trafalgar.

@Prettypackages: The only dupes I may have picked up is the UD Smoked palette. I just went through my collex and realized how many shade of that palette I already have. Perhaps 7 of the 10 shades. I may gift this. I got a great deal on it so... the Stila palettes, I have a couple in the Spirit palette but the Mind palette is all matte and I only have a couple of shades but I love an all matte palette because I could travel with just that and Soul palette and have a complete complement of warm and cool looks. The Stila palettes are in celebration of their 25th anniversary, so I was bound to have some dupes, but they are dupes I can live with. Today's face: FACE: Smashbox Photo Finish Light primer on face LM Secret Finish mattifier on t-zone ELDW, Rich Ginger 6W1 NYX HD Concealer, Chestnut Silica powder to set concealer ELDM pressed powder, Deep, to set rest of face MAC Embark, lightly applied to contour MAC Peaches blush (did I just tell on myself?) EYES: Rimmel London brow pencil, 001 Black Brown Maybelline CT, Audacious Asphalt for base NYX Smokey eye 9-pan combo palette: brownish black on lids and just into crease, silvery shimmer blended into inner 1/3 of lid, matte black in outer v and slightly under eye, shimmery peach shade on browbone MAC Shag blended into transition Pixi Black Noire eye pencil, upper and lower lashlines Sephora Atomic Volume Mascara, Explosive Black LIPS: NYX Brown Café liner, Maybelline Creamy Matte l/s in Nude Embrace (650), mixed with WnW Fergie Daily l/s

That's wild, because I think I did wear that palette sometime last week. But I didn't tag it. **looks over shoulder for Big Brother**

Sage, you crack me up. @ telling on yourself.

Love the looks. Didn't make it to work today, but I'm going to go play in my stash to recreate some looks.

Meddy, I'd appreciate that, thank you.

Update: My smokin' smokey eye look is now just crazy. I ate something at lunch that set off my allergies, and between the dark smoke and watery red eyes, I am looking so HAWT lol. I am just hoping no one needs to see me face-to-face until it is time to go.

oh no! hope you are okay!


i forgot i was going to try a coloured smokey eye and just did a regular ole brown one...sweet acting pressed pigment (pale pink) on upper lid overtop groundwork paint pot (concrete beige), folie (reddish brown) in crease and on lower lash line, feline to line both upper and lower lash lines, and carbon to smoke out the outer corners. oh and black mascara that has now flaked all over.

i used bright forecast under my eyes, set with prep + prime translucent finishing powder. i regret that last part cuz i feel it had a white cast that i had to obliterate using a mineralize skin finish natural in medium dark.

i also used sur (terracotta) and gana (light gold highlight) on my cheeks, and fashion revival (berry) on lips. overall i was happy with the look, but definitely gonna bin that mascara, and not using p+p translucent powder under my eyes ever again!

Love the look Aradhana. BTW, did you see that MAC is bringing back the dual ended orange/yellow corrector from Mickey Contractor.

For you Pretty---Chanel Harmonie du Soir on the left and Dior Trafalgar on the right



​I swatched the four colors that appear similar. The first swatch of each color is Chanel. You can see by the very last swatch that the red center in Trafalgar is very pigmented. I hope this helps!!!!

Hey ladies! I hope you had a great start to the workweek! All I can say is that I'm one step closer to Friday ;) Medgal, Sage, AWS, Naomi, ICL: I love all the looks that you've posted. Now that I've gotten my own bootlegged version of the smokey eye down (ha!), I'll definitely be copying Sotheby's lookshat you posted. Aradhana, I didn't get a chance to say how much I loved your blue eye look last week! I love the theory of blue eyeshadow but don't think that I can pull it off. I have no clue why. So, for my first official smokey eye, I used the Anastasia Lavish palette. I applied pink sapphire to the lid, sienna to the crease and cream soda to the brow bone. I used a random brown glittery eye pencil from Stila to line the upper and lower lids and to smoke out the outer corners. It wasn't too smokey so I'll probably add a little black to the outer corners tomorrow. The rest of the look: Primer: Elta Md UV Clear SPF 46 Brows: Anstasia Dipbrow pomade in Chocolate Undereye concealer: Nars creamy concealer in ginger Powder: Mac MSF in deep dark/dark deep Dark spot concealer: Nars creamy concealer in cafe Translucent powder: Surratt setting powder Blush: Mac Pleasure Model Cheekbone highlight: Mac Magnetic Appeal Mascara: MUFE Smokey Eye (yay) Lips: Milani Candied Toffees topped with Clinique Chubby pencil in Grape I really liked my makeup today! Thank you for being patient with me especially Medgal for posting the links to the YouTube videos and Sage for trying to get me together in general. Lol. I want to use different color combos tomorrow but know that's unlikely to happen.

Meka I'm not familiar with the palette so I looked it up----it's awesome and you concert a variety of smokey eye looks with it. Take a look at this link and I think you'll
get some ideas for using colors in a smokey eye look: Anastasia Lavish palette. There's a smokey burgundy eye look that I would LOVE to try. Your entire look
sounds awesome!!!

OK several things: 1. Did we decide to do 2 weeks of smokey eyes? I was not clear on that. 2. I got both my Sephora and Ulta orders today. If I can get it together, I will be doing a taupe/black smokey eye tomorrow. Thank you ladies for your well wishes; I just had an allergic reaction - clearly some recipes at the place where I lunched have changed. I had antihistamine and an inhaler in my purse but had to wait for them to work. I looked a wreck for awhile. It was so bad it was funny.

We said a week Sage but we can do whatever we want. If you/we think we want a second week it's up for grabs!

What did you haul form Ulta & Sephora?

Glad you got your reaction under control.
