My 3 lipcreams and their matching liners! |
For lipstick, I have raved time and time again about Essence Stay Matte lip-creams. I adore them. I have three of the four matte shades. They work for any occasion, and they're cheap as chips. Essence, in my experience make great quality products and though they may look like they're marketed to a younger demographic, they're used in some aspect by every beauty blogger at some point.
€2.49 for the lip color, and another €1.49 for the lipliner that exactly matches? Yes please, Essence, even some higher-up brands don't exactly match their lipsticks to the liners. Bravo!

I can't say enough good things about my new favorite eye palette from NYC Cosmetics. Its a palette marketed towards those with brown eyes, but I adore it for a neutral brown/taupe look. It even comes with a primer and a highlighter! How good is that, for €4.99?!
The pigmentation and the consistency is amaze-beans for just shy of a fiver! You can find NYC in Penneys, and I urge you to get it, because despite what it says about being for brown eyes, it can be rocked by anybody!
What are your favorite brands? If you could recommend one product to me for each of my categories, what would it be? Do you believe in budget brand makeup?
Amy,

Oh I like the angle you took, targeting eyes and lips:) I really want to try those matte lip creams! They seem to everywhere:) And I never would have take a second look at those NYC palettes, may have to cast an eye towards them next time!
ReplyDeleteI promise you, the NYC eyeshadows are better than they look! I did my make-up for Chris's end of year ball with that NYC palette and it looked great!!
