While I haven't been doing full-faced pink looks, I've been trying to incorporate at least one pink cosmetic color. I've been rocking my Lovemate l/s heavily (thank goodness it's still hanging in there, I love it so much!), along with my pink lip glosses, and incorporating my pink pigments in looks. My church will be holding its Making Strides auction after service tomorrow. We've got baked goods, services, and even pictures drawn by a couple of our youth all donated and up for grabs! I'm excited!

I'm going to give myself a pink mani/pedi tomorrow and will try a more complete makeup look. I think I'm going to just focus on incorporating pink in my look instead of trying to wear all pink lipsticks. That way I can sneak in my other lipstick colors.

^ I wore Love Goddess from Marilyn Monroe yesterday.
It is a pink-red that pulls cherry on me.
I picked up a jeweled ribbon pin from EL yesterday.
I needed one - I was wearing one of the pink ribbon pins I fished out of a bowl @ cco last week.
Back to the pink lippies tomorrow.
Speaking of Schiapp, my sister picked it up from Nars last week. What a pink!
I think I may wear Love Forever from MAC's Pro Longwear line tomorrow. It is one of my fav's but doesn't get a lot of use.

Hi Fiberluver! I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I've had SCHIAP for a while now and just got around to wearing it. I LOVE it! I also have Girl About Town. It's funny how these amazing lippies go unused because I'm always putting a new one or the other higher on the 'must wear now' scale.

The auction went great! We raised over $800 in the auction alone! Not bad for 30 baked goods, two gift baskets and two children's pictures.

I didn't wear any makeup, but I did wear pink clothing. The season is transitioning into Fall, so it's been cold and the weather has been gloomy lately. I'm a child of the sun, so the colder temps and dreary sky is affecting my mood, along with agitating my dry lips. I've been sporting lip balm for the past two days. Hope to get back into the swing of things tomorrow.
Medgal, do you change your nail color every day? It takes me forever to polish my nails, so I can't imagine doing it every day.

CartoonChic,
If you're "a child of the sun" than I'm your twin! The summer seemed way too brief, and although there a a few things (well maybe two) that I like about the change of seasons, the cold temps and shorter often sunless days are not a part of the equation. As you and most people, I also experience S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I'm usually very organized and task oriented but at this time I have to force myself to complete things. I had been trying to do laundry for 3 days and just got around to it today!
And yes, I have been known to change my nail color everyday...properly. Lately, I've resorted, on occasion to putting a darker pink over a light pink.
Ahhhh confession...I feel better now. You and Prettypackages need to stop beating yourselves up. I love that you've joined in solidarity for the cause, and no gesture is too small or too insignificant. Thanks so much for your efforts and for just being here!!!!!
