Don't Know Much About Making Up

My routine and inability to deviate from the products I know and love is nothing new. I have worn basically the same makeup since I was allowed wear makeup. Ok, truth, I was rocking some raspberry lip gloss in 6th grade behind my mom's back. Sorry Mom, but the Junior High bathroom was a landmine of lip gloss sharing.

In any case, I ventured into Sephora in March...I posted about them giggling at my use of Noxema etc. But since then, I have stepped up the makeup a bit. Heaven knows I am no expert and you won't likely see a YouTube tutorial here, but this is what I have been using the last few months. I have not the patience this morning to adjust the blurry photos, so work it out. I am still bitter.

Smashbox Photofinish Primer. I use the original one.

Benefit Play Sticks foundation. I have always been a fan of stick foundation, it's less messy. I use this one in Tea Party. It smells fine, which for a migraine sufferer is really a deciding factor.

Ulta Eyelid Primer. It used to be in a compact which I preferred, but now it's in a tube. It's cheap and easy.

Bare Minerals loose eyeshadow in Sex Kitten. It's described as mahogany gold, but I think it's just plain sparkly chocolate. I'm just saying.

Chanel lip liner. I know, I know, it's ridiculously expensive. But it made it's way into my Christmas stocking with a bottle of Chanel Chance and let's say this: you get what you pay for.

I pair that million dollar Chanel lip liner with my $1 e.l.f. liquid lip gloss in Maple Sugar. Yes, it's $1. But it smells like mint and it's not sticky. Oh, and did I mention, it's $1?! Word.

That's all I know. I am still using Noxema, Olay moisturizer and Herbal Essences cheapy shampoo. A leopard doesn't REALLY change her spots.

Especially when they are Tiger Stripes!

Makeup is so fun. So just one eyeshadow color? Just on the lid? I have way too many myself, but use about two colors at a time, a sparkly cream color all over, and a brown shade in the crease.

What fun! Do you wear eyeliner or do you line with the eye shadow?
