These FOTD pics are hard! I'm so critical of each one.
Anyway, here's the makeup I was talking about Friday that I never got a good pic of. New bo-ing concealer and Boudoir eyes in the "evening" trio. I actually found an orangy lip gloss, so I went that route although I probably shouldn't have.
I have a few things I've repurchased numerous times.
Lancôme Dual Finish powder Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer Tarte Gifted Mascara
MAC Blacktrack fluidline, my two most used eye shadows from MAC are Shroom and like persa, Vex. I can't even count how many I've gone through on these two.
I forgot about Shroom! I'm only on my first and TBH my MAC shadows aren't getting a lot of love these days cuz I've been a palette whore. I should depot them into a palette. I would totally rebuy shroom.
Other MAC eyeshadows I love and would repurchase are woodwinked and sumptuous olive. I've seen SO at the cosmetic company outlet, btw

Oh yeah, woodwinked is a good one too.
I agree, my MAC shadows are being very neglected as of late because of all my palettes too. I try at least once a week to give them some love
I forgot to mention that the NYX matte lipstick I'm wearing in last night's picture wasn't touched up at all after I put it on at 3. It looked exactly the same when I left at 10 last night as when I slathered it on earlier in the day. I left plenty of it on a coffee cup, a styrofoam cup, and a straw but you couldn't tell on my mouth so WIN!
I let you know in a week if I'm allergic. I've only worn NYX lipstick so if I am allergic, I won't know if it was the matte or the butter lipstick so there that.
I'm about to be on my 3rd tube of NARS radiant creamy concealer. If I could find one a tad more opaque but still with the "melt into my skin" quality, I would switch but I haven't found that yet.
Try the NYX HD concealer! A lot of concealers don't quite melt into the skin (BB corrector is a great example of this) but the NYX does. I get good coverage that I am happy with, but I don't know how I would like it if I had heavy duty circles.
I'll check it out. I haven't had good luck with a lot of the NYX products folks seem to love, other than the slide on eyeliners.
Empties/repurchased Clinique SPF 25 Face primer Essence Waterproof Mascara Nyx slim pencils
With the pencils I've probably repurchased the Charcoal 3-4 times and the Aqua and Gold Glitters once or twice. They are my go-to pencils if I need something fast and good.
I'm caught up again! Stupid work was getting in the way recently. Since I haven't been here in forever I bring you two photos as offering.
This is the new NYX section at my Target. I've been stalking the aisles waiting for it. The day it finally arrived the Cartwheel app had a 10% off coupon for makeup so I may have purchased too much....naw.
Secondly, am I still the only on with the Brooke Shields Gravitas palette? Because I need someone to play with me. I love the colors so much. Here are today's eyes.
twotrue, I'm so jealous you have that palette, it looks so pretty. I still haven't looked to see if it's available anywhere cuz it's sold out at my Nordstrom
hamster, the best line I get is with LM tightlining set but it's $$. I also use stila waterproof eyeliner pen and it does Ok. I figured out if I kind of hold it in place and let the color "bleed out" of the pen, I get a thicker line that I would if I just drew it on.
Ok I kinda want to order my own Mac shadow palette since I can't seem to find palettes online that I like. And keep in mind I like Stila kitten type colors and not glittery overload. What do you think of these four colors to make a neutral, easy palette? I'll add it to my holiday and birthday list
Naked lunch Mystery Shroom Satin taupe
Any suggestions if I wanted to do either a duo or a quad ? I have one older holiday Mac quad for awhile back and I do like the quality.
I love MAC shadows, and have more than I can count. I have 3 of the 4 colors (I don't have Mystery-have to go look that one up) and think they are great. I pair Naked Lunch with Satin Taupe and shroom as the highlight and it's one of my favorite looks.
I really want the philosophy resurface peel - I got a sample and it made my skin feel amazing. But I just can't bring myself to spend $70 on it. I keep putting it in my cart and then closing the window.

sigh..I guess I will be asking for this for Christmas.
THIS is an almost exact Olay dupe of the philosophy stuff. It's been a few years since I've used it, but it smelled the same, heated the same, and worked it same.

I have mystery and like it. I use it mostly as an eyeliner but it's versatile.
I've been on vacation and MIA. Promise to get back here soon...I know I've been tagged a couple of times.
Challenge decided yet? If not, I vote for Your Face Only Better/makeup free challenge. How little can you wear and still look polished? How can you slightly emphasize you, without adding very much drama?

The qvc beauty tube is only $19.99 today with free shipping! I grabbed a few to give as gifts, and maybe keep one for myself;) I've been wanting to try the exfolikate.
