My name is Dallas, and I have a problem
I spend way too much money on makeup. In a dream life I could be a beauty editor and test out tons of product b/c essentially I do that- but I don't get paid for it. I love makeup, b/c I'm an artist and I HAVE to have the perfect color and I become obsessed. I will buy every product until I find the right one, and then I move onto the next thing I need. Well, other creatives, or just makeup obsessed fashionistas, I have to share that after years of searching I have found the perfect nude lipliner.
You read magazine after magazine telling you this is a must have under every shade- even red! But then finding the shade that matches your lips...that's another story. I tried chanel, nars, stila, clinique...every brand in the book but they were either too brown, too chalky or left the inevitable "line". Yeah you know what I mean.
I finally came across the perfect one for me and wanted to share in case others of you have spent hundreds of dollars as well. Bobbi Brown , tulle brown, and it comes with the perfect sharpener so you don't need to make another trip when it dulls! love.

I need a good lip liner; I will definately check it out.
ReplyDeleteI am a complete beauty junkie as well :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful nude lip liner and it is from MAC.
Also when it comes to lip glosses I am a complete MAC addict. It is the only lip gloss that I will use...hands down best color selection and consistency on the market. Just enough stick to stay on but not too much.
In my mind...perfection!
Thank you so much for the welcome back! I've just gone through your entire blog archives and I love your site. I'm definitely linking you on my blog & bookmarking you for daily checkups! I'd love if you linked me too. Look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeletethanks for checking out my blog
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed it.
we have something in common
i'm addicted to makeup, too
going to sephora today
to find something miraculous.
No worries, I'm a total beauty junkie as well! And confession: A couple of years ago I actually did a beauty internship (which was unpaid) but I LOVED LOVED LOVED getting to play with makeup/skincare stuff all day-- and then getting to sample some of it when I went home.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I am the opposite of a beauty junkie. I'm just hear to appreciate your expertise. Thanks for the lipliner tip.
ReplyDeleteOhhh girl,I`m like you...I spend a lot of moneys...and I looooove make-up or make-up produse...
ReplyDeleteI'm compulsive with makeup, I'm comforted knowing I'm not alone! :o) Love B Brown, will have to check out the liner...can you really have too many lip liners or eye liners? My personal fab is Kevyn Aucoin mascara...smudge proof even after a chick flick. btw, you have a lovely blog!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm the same way about shoes. I try to stop, but I can't. If these are our worst vices, well, is that so bad?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did I tell you I got your print? :)
i share your addiction! i loveee bobbi brown's stuff. however, my favorite products are probably nars blush in orgasm (looks good on everyone!) and mac eyeliner in icon eyes. i also love bare minerals bronzer - faux tan. it looks really natural.
ReplyDeleteps - i love your blog!
that blush IS the best,it's my favorite. they just came out with a second called deep throat which is a bit of a pinker peach. Try that one too.
ReplyDeleteand thanks chris! xo
