If you could only take 4 ES.

Post by LionT » Tue Apr 21, 2009 7:27 pm

Summer is coming..
Say, you are going on a roadtrip with your family - kids in tow. You limit yourself - you could only bring 4 pots of ES. How would you choose? What would you choose? Bear in mind you probably have only 5 - 10 min max to get ready in the morning (remember the kids!).

If we left behind a child, could we take extra pots?? (worth a try...)

Idolize, Fire, Melange and Whisper (with Cozy or Basalt as liner)

I think Chills, Frills, Melange, Escape, and Vacation. Wait, that's five. And I am taking two Cream Liners whether you like it or not.......Black Cherry and Amethyst. You will probably get a completely different answer if you ask me this next week....... :D

Good luck with this crowd...I tried asking them that once, and they all decided to smuggle stuff in their bras!
I've been on a Posh kick lately- gold but not too shimmery nice for day or evening.

if i could only have 4, i would default to a kit. so easy and fast to pack up, with endless options...the summer lovin' kit is the bestest.

Strangely, or maybe not around here, that was my first thought!

Okay, Idolize has to come. And Velvet.And Vinyard. And Frenchie. And Elle. And Wildcat for a liner.

Bright, Merry, Mirth, and something black. I don't own anything black from SN. But that's what I would bring. I'd have to have looks for casual and formal day and night. I think those would work for everything.

As an Asian girl, I find that on a daily-rush-out-the-door basis, two shadows are all I really need for contour and highlight. So I'd suggest Truffle and Honey (or really, any dark brown shimmery shade, and a golden brown mid-tone colour other combos are Chocolate Twinkle / Bittersweet and Luxe / Goldy gold) - fast and it looks awesome, a great natural look that really does go with everything. I went through a 2-week trip with just these two, and as it was a fairly action packed trip, I was so grateful I had been sensible and eliminated choice!

Then if you'd like to glam up for night you can bring two more for a smokey eye, either Nudge Nudge and Wink Wink for a taupe smokey eye, or Velvet and Vineyard for a purple (my choice, since I adore purple smokey eyes and these can be combined with Truffle and Honey for even more looks), or if you're into rocker, drama smokey eyes, try Blackheart and Slick. Blackheart can also double up as a liner and add drama to truffle if you opt for a brown smokey eye.

Really hope that helps!
