Kristie (a.k.a. Blushing Basics) is a lover of all things artistic, makeup just happens to be one of her favorite mediums. Working as a makeup artist she had several requests on this topic so she began posting video tutorials on how to apply make up here. Included in her blog are also tips, product reviews, and of course a little frugal fashion advice.
2. Rimmel SpecialEyes Eyeliner. This pencil is my go to eyeliner. Many department store brand pencils tend to run easier or rub off quicker. This product stays put, washes off easily and applies smoothly.
4. Revlon ColorStay Liquid Lipstick. I use this product daily. It is a long lasting lipstick that applies easily and doesn’t dry out your lips. Perfect natural looking shades that compliment any look.
Thanks for the product tips, Kristie. I will be purchasing a Rimmel pencil… soon! I already own and love several colors of L’Oreal’s HIP shadows, they rock!
Good to know! On the lip gloss…it doesn’t leave the white goopy things on your lips when it wears away, does it? That bugs me! And it seems like almost all glosses do it! Advice?
What a great list! I’m always on the hunt for drugstore comparable cosmetics since I have dept store brand taste.
Brooke, i hope you enjoy your Rimmel pencil 🙂 be sure to check out Walgreens or CVS for those HIP pigments, they’re on clearance for 75% off right now.
Jocelyn, i am not exactly sure what you mean. i occasionally get goopy loose skin when wearing gloss but that is because my lips are not exfoliated. maybe try exfoliating first, then apply your face powder over your lips to dry them and prep before applying the gloss.
Kristin, thanks! I have more product reviews on my blog if you are interested.
