OK, how about purple/berry this week and red next week? I need to use the stuff from the MAC holiday set (Evening Rendezvous this week, the red from the gift bag next week)!

Sounds good. Purple/berry this week and red next week.

Yay because I am wearing Estee Lauder Shameless Violet lipstick today. It was from the matte collection that Joan Smalls curated last year. It is not as matte as the others, which is a small disappointment.

OK, I didn't wear any makeup yesterday, but today I am wearing IMAN Red on lips and a neutral eye from Naked 1. I would put a whole summary here, but the site is wonky when I access from work and I can't format. I am basically wearing KvD Lock it in 66, Milani Multitasker powder in 09Dark Tan, some contour from a City Colors kit and a hint of Iman powder blush in Peace, which is an old standby and I still cannot hit pan lol

Oh and I've completely chrated on my looks. I did have your cake my first night here, but everything else has been a coral. I've been doing neutral looks.

On theme: yesterday I wore Pretty Irresistable lipstick from the Red holiday bag, and today it's RiRi Woo. I might slap on some Clinique Cola Pop blush. I'm noticing that my fave reds are traditional lipstick bullets and not liquids. The other theme weeks I was liquid galore. Ladies, can we wear orange next week if a color has not been decided? I have a new blouse which is screaming for a reddish orange lip.

Can I get a show of hands? Can Runner lipstick pass for red to qualify for the theme? I am otherwise wearing the same face from the rest of the week, except wearing Clinique Cola Pop blush. I also have some neat, metallic taupe shade from MUFE (I wish they would put shades AND names on the pans AND wish they would print with a more lasting ink. Once you have removed them from their temporary pot and rearranged them a couple of times in a palette the printing is gone) on my lids and a matte MUFE brown in my crease, a gang of some MAC mascara from a gift bag, ABH dipbrow in Chocolate.

LOL! Depends on how you like your Reds! I am so failing the themes. I've been rushing everyday and just slapping on the closest thing to my hand. Today I'm wearing a Limecrime Velvetine in Utopia (a pinky purple)!

No, orange was still up for discussion but I say let's do it. That blouse is calling me lol.

Ok, let's do it - orange!

I will look for the video link tonight. I re-watched it again last night and ended up buying the halcyon days palette because of it...since I wanted tint CCB of course!

there ya go! mickey contractor + mac.
if you have the palette from his collection you can do it....i use the lightest shade instead of whatever he is using as a highlight...

so my lips and cheeks were orange today - stila water poppy blush (it could possibly be called a coral), and lips were lasting sensation pencil + powerful lipstick.

my eyes were pretty snoozy...i didn't have much time so i just put macro violet on upper and lower lashlines, and used the lilac shade from the flamingo park palette to smudge it out a little. and black mascara of course. i seem to have lost track of when i opened my mascaras that i am currently using, so i may have to just give them a toss and start new tubes. beginning of the month, so it might be a good time for it!
