Jen, that is just gorgeous.....I love seeing your progression in the varying base shades. I think the olive suits you the best so far.

It's so funny, I was just thinking to myself yesterday, * I wonder how the olive looks on JenW, since she says it's her new match...and Poof.....there you are!*

You guys anticipate our needs even before we articulate them!!!

Do you know if Karen is still giving a free e/s for FOTD? And how would one try to process an order if it is al most free? What I mean is.... I have $5.00 in reward points, a $5.00 girt cert from winning the song contest, and I think I get a free e/s from a FOTD. I am doing my best to not spend money at all, so I am waiting till Karen releases the new stuff, but would I just put a note in with my order?



Thanks!
laurie

I've missed this thread!!!!!! I'm so sorry I'm late to the party
Hot Mama- you're just stunning- truly, absolutely stunning. The bob is going to look great on you! But like Laurie said- you could really do anything to your hair and still be gorgeous.

Jen you look wonderful!!! Did you change your hair? I loooove the layers. I can tell that the diet has worked. Your cheeks are thinner.

Yes Laurie- the free eye shadow stands, just put a note in with your order...although having just been through the whole house thing- yes, save every nickel you can. The new stuff comes out soon, and hopefully we'll have something you just cannot resist.

I have one too!!! We're going to a "Pimps and Ho's Party" tonight. I *could not* find my "streetwalker" dress that I wore last year, so I'm going as a high-class Madam. I wore this dress to the Met in the fall- so I'm figuring it's good enough for Trumansburg!

I'm wearing my regular old ebony and ivory blend, plus Perfecting Powder, Maybe Baby blush, and Delight for the lippie. For my eyes- which are hard to see because I'm wearing my special occasion rhinestone Zenni's- I'm wearing Posh with Dolce in the crease, basalt for the liner, and about 12 coats of some cheap mascara I found while we were moving- I was going for Tammy Fae clumps (before I figured out that I didn't know where my proper "ho" dress was).

Karen, I am not sure if IRL you are supposed to look OTT, but in the pic you look just gorgeous! Seriously! Love the lippie on you, love the bangs, and SERIOUSLY FREAKING LOVE the glasses!!!!!!
Laurie

Edited to add: what the heck is a Pimps and Hos party? Is that what they do in small towns for fun?????

Oh wow, illuminated, for sure! And olive instead of ebony? Interesting... may just have to try that, I thought we had similar coloring. And yeah, I'm so getting Precious :)

That's hilarious, hope you had fun! And Delight looks gorgeous on you! So very elegant and strong, in a very good way.

Thanks egerandi!
I am pretty sure you are cool toned, right? I have a really weird undertone. I thought I was cool toned for years. The pink I have in my complexion is usually irritation from having sensitive skin, and for so many years I matched my foundation to that slight redness :oops: . I generally do better with slightly warm colored foundation, but there is definitely Olive there, too. I usually tan in one day where most cools burn first. I still have very fair skin in the winter, but the sun turns me into a medium tone. It is weird because I can still pull off most cool shades, especially in the winter. I almost need my winter makeup and my summer makeup.

Precious is great. It has an undescribable golden sheen that is just right.
