I can't possibly ever let the Team Thursday down.

I was working from home today (still plenty to do). The highlight of my day was a walk to town to buy YSL's new colour corrector Blur Primer (I can't remember when I last bought anything without reading 100 reviews first but I couldn't find any). I've had the original golden flecked Blur Primer before and really liked it (did a Rave in Makeup forum). I made the SA give me samples of the other colours too and a spare of the blue (the one I chose in a full bottle) so I could try without opening the packaging in case I needed to return. I also ended up with YSL's Touche Eclat Glow Shot and Instant Moisture Glow and some Urban Decay All Nighter makeup setting Spray (in for a penny in for a pound as they say).

I tried a little of the blue (anti-sallow) under my normal TM and the minute DH arrived home he asked me if I was ill, ha! :doh:

Wearing black John Smedley wool turtle neck, Galliano 'inside-out' fur biker, neoprene Mugler skirt, H Funk hat in '17 tweed, new Ndop scarf in cw09 (new favourite, I :heart: this scarf) and my little white pouch.

Aah vacations! One never has the time when one has the funds. And vice versa.

I skipped DUT and give you this random pic for this week. The skirt and cardis are C cashmere and the gold necklace is my new Gucci bamboo detail - Xmas gift from family/work bonus etc. I like the grey cardi better with this outfit.

I like the grey cardi better for the length but they both look good. What can I say about the necklace? Can't beat Gucci for style when Gucci had style.

Ain't that the truth! I really like both cardis with this outfit. The gray is a lot more subtle and someone seems a little more casual, but the white is a beautiful eye-catching pop! Necklace is fab as well.

Ha!! This is why I stick to my makeup routine, no ifs and or buts. And then if something I use gets discontinued, I am screwed. Loveeee the outfit though! You have such a cool and funky yet polished sense of style.

I love the way you mix textures and details.

So the blue made you look like you had dark circles? I've had no success with colour correctors - I end up looking ashy and cakey. I guess I'm doing something right when most people think I'm not wearing any makeup? Or maybe that's not a good thing if I want to look professional?

Thank you so much.

DH thought I looked pale (am already pale).

I would actually recommend these YSL primer/correctors because they are so sheer. I thought I'd add a touch of blue to adjust, I may have just been slightly heavy handed for the test. Naturally, I'm just warm of neutral, the Nars Finland TM is my favourite and is supposed to be neutral but it's just a tad too yellow for me. It's important to adjust when wearing more cool-tone makeup colours like a purple eye, pink blush or lips.

I may buy the pink as well, use the blue very, very sparingly everywhere leaving out the cheek area and the pink on the cheek. With Chanel Radiance powder of Hourglass Ambient over the top it will be far less 'ghostly'.

Finding the right colour correctors is as hard as finding one's best base/foundation.

PT, you recommended Joseph velvet pants to me awhile back and I love them! So does everyone else (esp men) ;)
Can you help me if you know what nationality the sizing is in? I got a joseph leather jacket in size 36 and it is very cute but a tad small in the upper back (gets tight when I extend my arms forward). I’m not sure if I should try a 38 next time or if this is my correct size. Maybe it will stretch?

How’s this for dress up Thursday? :)
I’m at my (empty) work gym, and when I come here I always end up wearing the jacket I wore to work over my workout gear because it is freezing.
So here is the jacket. It seems a little too small from the front (not even close to meeting in the middle), and the upper back is snug like I said, but the side fit seems perfect. That’s why I’m confused and need some context if this size is too small for me (if 36 Italian) or a plenty big size (if 36 French).
