My Discovery About Lipliners

     From my mini, mini drugstore haul post, I told you that I got a lipliner. I have never used lipliners before because I thought they didn't do anything usefull. But I finally learned the purpose of it! Isn't that GREAT? haha. I was watching a youtube video on how to get the perfect nude lips and the person used a lipliner and said that it will fill in the cracks of your lips. YUP! that's its purpose. It doesn't look good at all if you have cracky nude lips. So I took the lipliner that I got and filled my whole lips with it. I realized though, that the color of the liner is too dark, now I'm looking for one that matchs the natural color of my lips or a clear one... I don't really like dark lips. So ignoring the fact that it's too dark I filled it in and put on my beige frost lipstick. It made such a big difference! It made my lips look really smooth which is not the case if you did not put on the lip liner. However, I don't like frost lipsticks I've realized... I might have said that on another post. Now I gotta find that perfect shade! I might try this clear one from L'Oreal.

Need A New Lipbalm!

I'm coming to a finish with my old lipbalm from Nivea.

It has done a somewhat good job because it had the SPF I needed last summer and made my lips soft but it still gave me flakely-ish lips and it left a strange white-ish color on my lips so I would wear it with a colored lipgloss. I'm looking forward to trying out a new lipbalm. Let me know of any really good ones in the comments! :)

A Mini, Mini Drugstore Haul

I went to run some errands and ended up going to Duane Reade. I get really really excited when I saw A LOT of yellow 50% off tags in the make-up aisle. I dont know if its in all Duane Reade but if you're near one you should definitely go see cause there was a lot of cheap stuff. I didn't get too much though because I have to save money for textbooks next semester :( VERY SAD. I definitely need a job when I get back to school. Well here's what I got:

In order going down:
-Revlon's Beyond Natural Cream Lipgloss in Nude.
-N.Y.C. lipliner in Natural
-Jane. Contour Brush
-Revlon Eyeshadow in Coastal Blues
I loved everything I bought but I have to say the Revlon lipgloss did not give the nude lips that I wanted.
