Ok, complete and total lie. I need make-up. I just don't always WEAR it. AGES ago, Whitney over at Glamlife Housewife posted a challenge to post what's in our make-up bag. I keep forgetting to take pictures, but here's some of the items. By no means am I paid to say any of this, and if I were, the companies would be asking for their money back because I'm really not a huge fan of most of the things I use.
Something I use, and like, and start my day with. Neutrogena lotion with SPF. Hey, I'm a pasty white girl. Gotta protect from the sun.
Next up? Almay Pure Blends Foundation. It's alright. Matches pretty well. Got it when I was on a "green" kick and didn't want all the extra junk in the make-up. Full disclosure: I use ivory (pasty).
Ok, something I LOVE. But, still isn't PERFECT. Milani Black Magic Eye Liner. Oh, it goes on so SMOOTHLY. It's fantastic. BUT it does smudge pretty easily.
The lipstick I wear doesn't seem to be made anymore (maybe I should get a new one?). It's Clinique Blushing Coral. Of course I have about 20, but that's my favorite. Followed closely by a Cargo gloss that also seems to not be made anymore. Alright. Need to shop.
For my eyes, I tend to use the Sonia Kashuk Perfectly Neutral Eye Palette. Gives a descent variety of work-appropriate shades.
Finally, alright, guess I like a lot of my make-up. I LOVE this mascara. It rocks. Admittedly, I have long, thick lashes to start, but this really pops them. Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara.
So, there's my not-so-expert opinions on make-up. But it works for me.
I used to use that Neutrogena moisturizer too. It's probably the best drugstore brand I've tried - not gunky at all!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Revlon Colorstay eyeliner? That's the only pencil I'll use. It's better even than MAC or Smashbox if you ask me. I have it in black and brown.
