Lipstick Surprise!

HOLD THE PHONE!!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

At least once a week depending on how busy my week is with makeup, I go through my entire kit, and sanitize everything. I clean product and their containers. This helps me clean anything I may have missed when I put it away. It also helps me keep track inventory & what I may be running low on. This afternoon while cleaning lipsticks I came across 3 that looked basically empty. 

For those of you that are familiar with back to mac, when you have 6 empty containers, bring them in to a mac location, and you can get a free lipstick. I had an empty mascara and two empty mechanical brow pencils in a bag already.   I was about ready to head out to mac and grab my free lipstick. That was until my curiosity got to me. I kinda wanted to know if there was any lipstick actually left in the tubes worth saving. I took out a q-tip, pulled the cotton off one end, and inserted the wand into the tube of lipstick.

Past the plastic casing there was still a good half inch of lipstick in the tube!!!!! 

For those of you who already knew this, shame on you for not telling me

Only kidding...

For everyone else, YOU'RE WELCOME!

Happy Thursday ladies!! 

Happy dance party for those of us who have a favorite lipstick that they don't make anymore and you've been holding on to its precious tube in a memory vault!!! 

All hope is not completely lost...yet

Sista Sista!

Whether you're the star of the show or running the show; wedding day is the time to shine bright!

For this bridal look:

I used Kat Von D's 'Saint' palette, Ardell 'Demi Wispies' cut in half and used as flares, mascara used was Maybelline Colossal Lashes Glam Black waterproof, and for the brow I used Lancome's Le Crayon Poudre in 'Taupe'. On the lips: Urban decay 24-h Lip in 'Liar' with MAC cream sheen lipglass in 'Boy Bait'

For contouring and blush I used BH cosmetics 'Contour & Blush Palette'

 

For the Maid of Honor below: 

Lashes;I used Ardell Demi wispies (the full strip). For the brows I used Makeup Forever waterproof Aqua Brow in 'Ash', lid was a mix of diferent purples from my BH Cosmetics 88 color palette, and MAC Shroom for highlighting. Lips, contouring and mascara same as bride.

 

Last two finishing touches for each was MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade for that candlelit glow, and set it all with Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray.

Congratulations Melissa & Nick!
