Getting the Most Out Of Your Lipsticks

Okay - So many of you probably get to the end of your lipstick and don't think twice about chucking them out but what you might not know is that you are probably throwing a quarter of your lippie in the bin! Also, not to mention - your money.

If you have the time then you should get a spatula, get the product out and into a small container. Make sure the spatula and container are wiped out with alcohol prior to depotting. If you wish, you can add a little vaseline to make a lip balm. You can do this if you have a lipstick that is broken too. There are tons of videos you can find on YouTube on depotting lipsticks. 

If you are super busy and have no time to scoop everything out into a small container then get a lip brush to get the product out and onto your lips.  I just de-potted one of my lipsticks yesterday and found that I didn't actually finish the whole stick.

Note:

I do not own any of the pictures posted for this piece.

Sephora Lipsticks

I lost my Bobbi Brown lipstick. :( 

I had been out of good nude lipsticks so I decided to go to Sephora to see if there were any good nude lippies I could get. I got two in fact. The colours look pretty similar but I coulnd't choose between the two so I took both.

No 1 - Sephora Rouge Shine - Honeymoon

MYR 45.00

Made in France.

I would recommend to exfoliate your lips before using this lipstick as your chapped lips will show quite clearly if you fail to exfoliate and moisturize before application. I also find that using this lipstick will need touch ups to be done quite often.

 

No4 - Color Lip Last - Brown

MYR 45

Made in Switzerland.

This is a heavy duty lipstick so it will stay on your lips for a long time without having to touch up often.

You will need a good lip remover to get all the lipstick off.

This lipstick is matte but you can add gloss if you like.

I'm quite suprised to see Sephora offering high quality lipsticks but at affordable prices. It's a shame that there's no indication of ingredients found in the lipsticks.

 Don't forget to take your Sephora Member's card for to accumulate points and to get a discount.

Another Day, Another Look

I usually go for a minimal make-up look most days. Don't like too much on my face as I feel like I'm wearing a mask.

What I used :-

Face

♥ Make Up Forever All Mat Face Mattying Primer 
♥ MAC Studio Sculpt - NC 42
♥ Za Concealer Perfetion
♥ Jelly Pong Pong Omnibronze
♥ Revlon Powder Blush - Smokey Rose
♥ YoungBlood Hi-Definition Hydrating Mineral Perfecting Powder - Translucent
♥ YoungBlood Natural Mineral Loose Foundation - Natural Beige 
 

Eyes

♥ Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
♥ Make Up Forever Eyeshadow - no.17
♥ Maybelline 2-in-1 Impact Shadow Liner
♥ Youngblood Ultimate Concealer - Tan
♥ Body Shop Clear Mascara
♥ Etude House Volume Mascara
 

Lips 

♥ Vita Tok Lipstick - BR02
♥ The Body Shop Lipstick - Beige

I did quite a bit of contouring with the brown eyeshadow and bronzer and used double coats of mascara since I don't use fake lashes.
Kept everything else simple & minimal so I don't get annoyed with too much on my face.
I have naturally dark eyebrows so I just used black powder to fill in wherever that needed filling in.

Less is More!
