    Ever since they discontinued the Chanel foundation I loved, I've been on a hunt for a replacement. Recently a SA gave me samples of two different formulas and colors, and I've been comparing them either to the Olay foundation or the Maybelline Mousse foundation colors that I have. The discontinued shade was perfect for me. The replacement shades were way too yellow. The new colors are considerably toned down from the yellow.

    Eyes:
    Mary Kay Summer 2009 set     (Turquoise, Brown, Lime)
    I felt like trying this one again. Turquoise in crease and outer edge; Brown on inner lids; Lime in center and towards outer corners.
    Lined with Prestige Denim Pencil (# 70)

    Foundation Chanel (VITALUMIÈRE shade: Diaphane) on one side; Olay 210 Simply Ageless on the other. All else is the same. They are so close in appearance, no one can pick out which side is which. I think the Olay has a little bit more illumination.
    Rouge under my sparkly mix of powder: Maybelline # 20 Mousse -- a light apricot
    Rouge over my sparkly mix of powder: Mary Kay Pomegranate Cheek Glaze (new) a rosy red.
    Highlight up the center of my face: Mary Kay powder highlight (both the sparkly and non-sparkly)

    Lips:
    Mary Kay Rose + Poppy     (both are colored lip balms) then a bit of gloss

    I was happy with the look today. I really like the colored lip balms, and I like the cheek glaze colors. More on the cheek glazes and the cream highlighter when I do a review of both. But for now, I really, really like them.

    Still working thru the samples I ordered from AL. This is my look on Friday. I was kind of going to match my shirt. It's still hot here, so even though I'm leaning mostly toward a more autumn look, this was very pretty. I'll wear it again in the spring.

    Eyes:
    Base: Nude Frost + BE Queen Phyllis
    Inner lids: AL glowing luna
    Outer lids and drylined lower: AL winged psyche
    Tightlined: Botticelli Charcoal     Borghese pencil

    Glowing Luna: A pigmented warm green yellow... or yellowish warm green? You choose. Sparks of copper and pink add an ethereal dimension.

    Winged Psyche: A green rich with dimension and lustrous metallic finish. Tinges of blue and shimmering flashes of pale blue make this anything but ordinary. Inspired by the rarest green butterflies.

    I wasn't sure how these would go together, but I figure if they go together in RL butterflies, they should work in any combination.

    I love MAC glosses!
