Joining Sirvinya's Challenge 100!

Almost two months ago, the awesome Becky of Sirvinya (Confessions of a Make Up Addict, Sirvinya) posted about a new series she was starting called Challenge 100. Her idea was to set herself a goal of posting 100 (or more) face of the day (FOTD) in the next year, starting from the first post; and she invited anyone who was interested to join her as well. I decided to join almost a month ago, but ... for one reason and another, never posted about it til now ^_^;

The basics: each Challenge 100 FOTD must be different - i.e., no slapping on R.S.V.P. Creaseless Cream every day and just changing the lip color - and all Challenge 100 posts will be tagged as such so Becky can find them in the participating blogs. I love this idea because I own SO many different, beautiful eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks/ glosses that do not get used often enough, so hopefully this series will make me use more of them :)

Plain makeup angers my cat

Here is the most basic, plain FOTD you'll see from me (as part of this challenge, at least) - I wanted this to be the first in this series so I could show my normal, everyday makeup and then start getting into more interesting looks. I wore this to a family party at our house, which usually means low-key makeup for me, and since I had pretty earrings (from Italy, years ago, sorry) and sparkles on my top (no idea where from, sorry again), I thought simple eye makeup would be best. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd then my cat sweetly asked that I set her down now ... via sharp little claws. CUTE

Products used:

• LORAC aquaPRIME as primer
• Benefit High Beam dabbed onto browbone, top of cheekbones using fingertips and softened with damp sponge
• Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade 13 applied lightly all over face and neck with damp sponge
• Sleek Luminaire concealer in shade L01 under eyes
• Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation in Shell applied lightly with fingers to T-zone, blended out with damp sponge
• Evil Shades Matte Silk powder dusted lightly on T-zone
• Sassy Minerals powder foundation dusted all over face and neck
• Boots 17 First Flush blush applied with Sigma F86 brush
• Benefit Creaseless Cream in R.S.V.P. dabbed onto eyelids with fingertips
• L'Oreal Volume Million mascara
• Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Rose

R.S.V.P. is like a my-eyelids-but-better color, perfect for pale skin with pink undertones. It's shimmery, but not glittery, so it looks pretty natural. I have a mini which I got from a blogsale and I use it so often - $4 well spent! (It looks like I haven't hardly used it, too ... might actually last me forever :)

Benefit Creaseless Cream in R.S.V.P.; L'Oreal Volume Million mascara

No liner, even! Having spent the last few hours helping to get food, etc ready, I had not much time or inclination to get at all fancy. R.S.V.P. is the easiest possible eye makeup for me in situations like that: it needs no brushes, primer, or blending, just dabbing with my fingertip and done.

So that's day one down, 99 to go! Anybody else interested in joining Challenge 100? :D
