Kate you look so pretty! blood red lippie looks amazing on you!
today i failed again. i used the naked palette! but in my defence i was super tired when doing my make up today!
I've been meaning to ask you - how/when/where did you get your naked palette? I would literally would have given anything to get one - but I never saw them in HofF or Debenhams... tell me your secret, pleeeease?

Congratulations Jenn!!!!! Go out and party and get yourself a present!!
I'm trying to continue with the lipstick challenge. I wore Inglot 151 because I wanted to try to see if I could get a look that resembled some of the products from Quite Cute by using what I already have.
I also did a quick look with some new Inglot shadows and Chanel's Antigone Rouge Coco Shine, mostly because I wanted to review the RCS for my blog and I didn't have good pictures of me wearing it.
So far, so good. I'm going to keep listing things in here because I want to be able to keep track of them all. Trying to keep a list. Right now I have a split lip, so I might be switching to glosses for a few days. Or at least very moisturising lipsticks.

i bought it from debenhams a few days before the release date because the girl is quite nice to me! i have never seen it in stock since either which is crazy! and whenever it comes online it seems to sell out again! i actually love it so much that i will buy another one because it is the perfect palette for me to take when i go on managers conferances and i have to look all professional!
today i sucked again - but i promise i shall use pigments tomorrow!

Congrats on your master, Jenn. Feels great, doesn't it I tried a look with pigments yesterday and I had to take it all off. Pigment all over my face, in my hair, virtually everywhere. No idea why, did nothing differently compared to the last time :dunno: So I went with my Inglot shadows , Blanc Type to highlight, Mehr on the lips and Brit Wit on the cheeks with Perfect Topping over it.

FACE:
MAC Prep & Prime, MAC MSF Foundation NC20, MAC Studiofinish concealer NW20, MAC MSF Natural in Light Medium, Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess bronzer, MAC Giggly blush
EYES:
MAC Bare Study paintpot, MAC Swish, MAC Sketch, MAC Humid (as lower lid liner), MAC Blacktrack, L'oreal Voluminous
LIPS:

Sorry for the messy hair!
After the photos I added MAC #3 Lashes and I had my hair done!

Romina, those colours look gorgeous on you! You make me want to pull out all of those colours (but to be fair, I should wait a while before wearing Play Time again...)
Today's lipstick is Cockney with Redd lip liner. I love that combo, because Cockney is just such an in-your-face red and that pencil makes it all the more audacious. It's an absolutely miserable day here- cloudy and hailing if you can believe. So at least my lips are bright and cheery...

What a lovely bright look - definitely chasing away the clouds
Jenn - congratulations! Now you get your life back
How are you going to celebrate?I've stayed indoors and painted my nails three times deciding which colour I like this week....the face is naaaaaked and covered in moisturiser. It's classy look...I might share my 'monster' face with you girls one day...if you're lucky!
I hope you all have a lovely week planned?

Have you seen this review of Milani's 'Blue My Mind' at Temptalia? That looks like a pretty close dupe - might see if I can get my paws on one and I'll do a comparison....we shall all have to look out for the pigment and then maybe share it or something!

Vixstar- I absolutely LOVE your avatar pic!!! Had me laughing my head off this morning! I'm loving everyone's "challenge" results. I actually tend to do fairly well at circulating my lippies, but I'm holiding myself to it this time. I'm going to countdown a month where I'm not allowed to use the same lip colour twice.
So so far, including the ones that I've already listed (as well as a few I haven't mentioned), I have:
Blood Red
Rue d'Bois
Guerlain Grenade (I was going to hold myself to Mac only, but I didn't want anyone to feel left out, it'll still be mostly Mac)
Show Orchid
Yash
Cockney
Pomposity
So Chaud (wearing that today, since it's another grey day... so gloomy... Calls for bright colours, although at this rate, I'm going to end up wearing all of my brights before the clouds lift)

Hi again everyone! I've been MIA again because I've had lots of work, and have gotten a few call backs from some school for teaching abroad - so far a school in Germany and in Shanghai, China seem promising and we have interviews coming up! Plus, my French AQ course has just started, and I know have a crapload of work back on my plate. *sighs* But it feels great to be done my degree!
Me too, Lou! I've been tutoring, training and running all over with family, so I've barely had any makeup on! I'm hoping to get back into it not that I'm back at home officially

K, I'm gonna call this Day 17 and Day 18, then tomorrow will be Day 19 The first one was the look I wore out dancing on Saturday night, and then I have what I wore on Sunday to see Jerome's family, if I can remember it!
Day 17:
EYES: Antiquitease Royal Assets Smokey Eyes Palette - Rondelle (lid, inner half of lower lashine), Courtly Grey (outer half and crease), Knight (deepen crease, outer half of lower lashline), Feline (tightline), Blacktrack fluidline (line), my usual L'Oreal Collagen Waterproof mascara, whatever it's called lol
CHEEKS: Oh So Fair BP, By Candlelight MSF
LIPS: Mixture of Woo Me and Enchantee Kissable Lip Colours
NAILS: Liberty of London collection Blue India n/p
Just a really soft silvery gray smokey eye - I had a really floaty spring dress on in pink and pale khaki green, so I was trying to keep the look fresh and simple. Here's a pic from the H&M website:
And I loooove this n/p - a gorgeous cream, shiny, opaque and streak-free at 2 coats.
Day 18 (sorry, no pics! ),
EYES: UD AiW Palette, Muchness (AKA X, lid), Underland (AKA Flash, used lightly to softly line upper and lower lashline, lightly in the crease) Revlon Grow Luscious Waterproof Mascara
CHEEKS: Mighty Aphrodite Blush
LIPS: Drive Me Wild l/g

@Jenn- That look is lovely! Very spring-like and soft- perfect combo with the dress.
@Lou- That combination sounds very rich- any pictures?
Yesterday's lipstick was Good to Be Bad, which I haven't had too long, but which I haven't done more than try on. For some reason, my Sheen Supremes keep getting overlooked. Perhaps because it's still like bloody winter here. Yesterday was at least sunny (although cold for late April), but today it's back to gloom and freezing rain. I don't even really have to leave the house today, but somehow, even in my home office, I feel better when I'm dressed and made up. Like I have to look professional for the cats or something.

Hopefully it improves tomorrow.
Sorry to have missed you look! I know I tried to take a photo of myself after a night out because I'd been really happy with the way my makeup looked. Turned out my face hadn't quite kept up. Gave me a real fright, actually. I looked like one of those guys who opens the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Heritage Rouge is one of those colours that has always tempted me, but I never got it...
Just to keep myself honest, I created a page on my blog to track my adventures in lipsticks:
http://morelikespace.blogspot.com/p/30-days-of-lips.html
So now I have to stick with it...

Phew, finished moving house! Well, I've still got a lot of tidying to do at the new house, but half the battle is won Non challenge related photo...
Our new house is two storey, a first for our cats, and they are loving the staircase! Here's Ted Mosby in his favourite spot - halfway up and in everyone's way
I feel like I've missed so much! I've only worn make up two or three times in the past week due to moving house and having the flu, so haven't had much to share, but I wasn't able to get online to share anyway.
Katred - the blog post is such a great idea! Will have to keep an eye on it Welcome to the challenge too, I'm loving your looks, Cockney looks gorgeous on you - just the way I want it to look on me
Lou - that combination with Heritage Rouge sounds gorgeous!
Jenn - congrats on finishing your degree, that is awesome! Sounds like you have some amazing opportunities coming up too
Okay, here are the two looks I have to share - one from work last Thursday:
Face: Studio Sculpt NC15, Select Cover-Up NC15, Marine Life
Eyes: Lime Crime Candy Eyed primer, MAC Bare Canvas paint, MAC Nylon e/s all over lid, Sugarpill Junebug e/s in crease and under lower lash line, MAC Old Gold pigment on centre of lid, Chanel Ivory e/s as a highlight, Australis liquid liner, Smashbox Bionic mascara
Lips: Smashbox l/g in Stylist
And one from yesterday:
Face: Studio Sculpt NC15, Select Cover-Up NC15, Crushed Bougainvillea CCB
Eyes: Lime Crime Candy Eyed primer, MAC Bare Canvas paint, Smashbox Bionic mascara, MAC Blacktrack fluidline applied on tightline - first time trying this, my eyes stung all night! Will have to experiment with different liners to make this work. Dior e/s palette in Incognito - all shades except the slate grey
Lips: Lime Crime l/s in Countessa Fluorescent applied super lightly as a stain
