Hello ladies, here are my favorite looks.

First one is Teacher's pet on the lid, Dark Arts to crease and Mahalo under brows. Off-brand neutral blush (as it finishes I'll replace with SN, I swear :-))
Shirley Temple Lip balm on my lips (am I the only one who can use it as a light pink lippie? it does change my lip color)

The second one is the variation of one of my best makeups that brings out green in my eyes. Princess on the lid, Cranberry off-brand e/s in the outer V (hope Toujours will arrive soon and I will try it), Found (GWP) to highlight and some Bone dusted over it. Princess is one of the last faves, before I did this look with Bloom, it was more sharp... This is more delicate version :-)
Wish you were here blush (I am not amazed though)
Seedy on my lips (loooove)
And Chrystal Mineral Glow - it is pink but it is great for warm girl! I have applied it around the eye area with a soft-finish brush and voilez - I look like I am from vacation, while I have just finished a huge project and I have been working during the nights for the last weeks. My husband was amazed :-) I was making myself up and drinking green tea. He said - oh, green tea is really wonderful! Oh my, men are... so naive, and imho let it be :-)

And I have different hair color on this pics - I am greenish blond on the first pic, almost Mahalo hair and have some reddness in the second image. I am warm and yellow and i feel that that cool green experiment was successful and cool colored hair balance me.What do you think?

Thank you, Ladies!

@ Shirin - I know that DA, TP and Mahalo should be brighter, but almost every color looks soft on me. The only color I manage to apply brightly and "shouting" is 5th Avenue. I have posted some pics with it already.


@Laurie, I have made a mad scientist mix but it works well and you have inspired me :-)

My ratio from the signature became too dark for my winter skin, but I ran out of both BG and Ivory Original. I decided to try a new ratio with Olive (I have a sample) and All Purpose Ivory and yellow booster. Well, it was not very beautiful compared to the previous match (yes, you get used to good things very quickly). I made only a small batch - about 10 scoops only. And I added the remains to the yellow "dark" original mix... Wow!!! It is less drying than the original, but it successfully hides what I want to hide and the color match is exactly what I need now!!! Oh, if only this success was not so temporary... :-)

Wow, Irina, that last look is just stunning! I like the others too, but that third one with Mahalo... nice!

@Andrea, thank you :-)

I believe it was the hair color - my new experiment is not that nice. And honestly I had too much under eye concealer... though it was good for picture :-) should I have it as an avatar?

And the bigger picture shows how nice is my new mix of Original and All Purpose - great coverage for my reddness that looks natural

Tried out all my new shadows and the primer-- it worked a bit too well with the foiled shadows lol.
