Reddit mentions: The best lip liners

Oh I love these tag things and I Heart Drugstore Makeup!!!

The Questions:

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand overall?- I cannot even tell you how much I love Maybelline Super Stay Concealer It's just amazing.
   
   
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products? Face is totally the concealer I linked above. Hands down. Cheek has got to be Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow in Pink my sister has it and I'm so jealous. I may steal it sometimes :) Lips is definitely Maybelline SuperStay 24 hour lipstick I have two of them and this shiz does not come off. Even when eating. Even when kissing. I love it.
   
   
3. Least favorite product?- Ugh I hate Maybelline Volume Express Mascara like I love their stuff and have like 6 of their mascaras but this one just does nothing for my lashes at all it just clumps them together all gross.
   
   
4. What is the best makeup bargain? It's not exactly makeup but I really like Eco Tools. At makeup stores brushes can be like $18 a piece but you can get a 6 piece set for like $12 which I think is awesome.
   
   
5. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)- I feel like everyone dismisses Almay Intense i-Color Eyeshadow Palettes I love them, and I really think the colors go well with my eye color :)
   
   
6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?- I really think BabyLips is overpriced. Like it's just chapstick really and a single chapstick is $1.50 vs BabyLips thats $4. It's just silly.
   
   
7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!- Ugh I'm so bad at dupes but I can say that I love Wet n Wild liquid liners and they have a lot of colors that I think are a lot like UD liquid liners.
   
   
8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype? - Don't kill me, but I do not like ELF eye shadows. I'm not a fan of the texture and finish and I know everyone just goes bonkers over ELF. Some stuff I like but I don't think the eye shadow is worth it.
   
   
9. What is the item you most want to try from the Drugstore? - Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow in Pink!!! I need it!!
   
   
10. What item would you want from your wishlist?- These NYX lipliners!
    
    And thank you for holding a contest!!

(Part 1/2)

Fitness wise: Along with r/Fitness, I would definitely recommend trying out "Sweat: Kayla Itsines Fitness" app. She has a bunch of workout routines/programs on the app. The best part is that you can slowly build up from your own fitness level and get to your goal essentially. Her workouts are amazing and I personally love it. Also, Jillian Michaels has some bomb workout videos out there and they show amazing results as well (though it is a little harder!)... 30 Day Shred is one of the best ones out there for sculpting your body!

Hair: I definitely like what notfitperson recommended. I like leave coconut oil on my hair/scalp for at least 1 hour before washing my hair... and on weekends, to take care of my split ends, dehydration and encourage hair growth, I generously apply a homemade hair serum overnight and wash in the morning/later in the afternoon. If I used a lot of hot tools/styling products during the week, I'll keep on the hair serum for 1-2 days to repair the damages. For the hair serum, I like to make it with: rosemary oil, castor oil, peppermint oil, and organic coconut oil. Also, I apply Lush hair masks every 2-3 weeks. I love those ones because they are made from natural ingredients and I store them in the fridge. I even use the castor oil and coconut oil that I linked on my lashes every night before bed... if you do it religiously on both top and bottom lashes every night, you will have longer, fuller and healthier lashes! Castor oil is amazing for hair growth/repair, but it has a really thick consistency ... you gotta mix it with a light oil like coconut oil or olive oil!!!

Makeup:

If you have a limited budget, I would honestly hold off on getting luxury makeup right away and practice with drugstore brands first. Then upgrade!

Eyes/Brows:

I would get one neutral palette for everyday looks.

Brow pencils/gel/pomade ...ABH is the best out there, but the most expensive

Mascara: Better Than Sex by Too Faced is one of the best out there. A dupe that is comparable to that mascara that is cheaper and also a really good quality is the L'Oreal Paris mascara. It is amazing!

Lips:

Nude/pinkish lipstick for everyday looks - Dulce Vita by Nars is a popular one and it has a blue-ish undertone which helps your teeth appear whiter (bonus!)

Classic, matte red lipstick that is good for everyday, date night or special occasion looks - Cruella by Nars is bomb!!! It looks good on everyone! I have yet to meet someone who doesn't look good in it! Totally worth the investment!

Pencil lip liner - Definitely get this (in a color closely matching your lipstick color)... because it helps reduce the lipstick from bleeding onto somewhere around your lips and helps keep your lipstick stay put!

Lip gloss - Buxom, Milani L'Oreal and L.A. Colors have really great, high shine ones!

*Exfoliate your lips using sugar and Vaseline OR sugar and olive oil to remove the dead skin before applying any lipstick... especially matte lipsticks! It hydrates your lips and makes a huge difference + prevents the cracked lips with lipstick look ...cannot emphasize this enough! Also, before starting your makeup... apply Vaseline/chapstick on your lips and do your lips last.*

Forgive my dry lips. I had a matte lip cream on all day before trying on Train Bleu and my lips were already super dry. And I sorta just slathered it all over my lips in excitement. (But seriously, how could I not?!)


Overall, I was impressed with Nude Tude. The shadows are super soft. However, the first four don't show up on my pale skin very well. Those swatches are not on a primer though, so maybe with a base they'll show up better on the lids. The only color that I was disappointed by was Silly, because it ended up being more of a glitter than a shimmer. In the pan it is a gorgeous dark maroon color with gold flecks. On the skin, the glitter was sorta large and chunky, as opposed to the gorgeous shimmers that the other colors have. I'm hoping that with a primer, or maybe applied wet, it will have a better payoff.

Train Bleu applied like a dream. It is really creamy, but I feel as though it might be drying. But I do expect that from a matte lipstick. The crayon is great, but I might find myself applying it with a lip brush. Since it's such a dark color, you have to be really careful to have nice precise lines, or it will be noticed. (i.e. see my lips upclose when you don't apply it carefully.) It is a fantastic lipstick for fall though and I would definitely recommend it.

The NYX lip liners are a pencil form and they swatched nicely on the hand. I generally prefer lipliners that don't ahve to be sharpened, like the Rimmel Exaggerate liners, to those that do. They are swatched in this order: Pale Pink, Soft Brown, Nudge Beige, Ever, Mahogany, Coffee. They were purchased as a set for $11.85 (free shipping) from this seller on amazon

Let me know if you have any questions!

Eyes

• Eyebrows: Used the bottom right dark brown on this Body Shop Eye Palette in 01 Smoky Brown
  
  I bought this in-store in Canada for $10 around the post Christmas liquidation sale time, and it's amazing! Very pigmented, comparable to Naked 1 I'd say. The link is for the Indonesian Body Shop site, since I can't find it on the main one. Sorry! The matte dark brown colour is perfect for filling in my brows and stays all night.
  
  
• Highlighter under Eyebrow: Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Virgin (from the Naked 1 Palette)
  
  
• Base: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
  
  
• Eye Shadow: BH Cosmetics, Take Me To Brazil palette
  
  
• Tight-lining & outer waterline: MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved
  
  
• Eyeliner: Lakme Insta-Liner | Water-Resistant Eyeliner
  
  This stuff is seriously SO amazing, ease of application of a liquid eyeliner, love, love, love the applicator, and the black intensity of a gel eyeliner when it dries. Get your hands on this!!
  
  
• Eyelash Curler: Shisheido Eyelash Curler
  
  
• Mascara: Wet N Wild Megaclear Brown & Lash Mascara as a base then Revlon Grown Luscious Plumping Mascara

• Under-eye primer/brightener: Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Brightener
  
  
• Under-eye corrector & concealer: Vasanti Cosmetics Wonders of the World Concealer in O2
  
  Oh. My. God. You guys. I'm not kidding when I say I've tried Bobbi Brown's Corrector in Peach & this beats it BY FAR. This is NOT a dupe. It is in a whole other league of its own. This, topped with the concealer that comes next to it, does not crease, does not fade, blends easily & seamlessly, covers anything & everything, and for so cheap. You have got to try this at least once, especially if you struggle with under-eye dark circles. I have horrible ones that never go away, and this stuff is my HOLY GRAIL!

  (didn't link to Amazon here since they all look like fake sellers!)
  
  
• Contouring: Maybelline Shine-Free Fit Me Foundation Stick in 355 (Coconut) (The darkest one they had at the drugstore haha!) & elf Bronzer in Warm, I use the bottom right colour for contouring.
  
  
• Highlighter: Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up
  
  
• Blush: Wet N Wild Color Icon Blusher in 834E (Berry Shimmer)
  
  Lips
  
  
• Lip Liner:NYX Lipliner Pencil in 828 (Ever), an apparent dupe for MAC Lip Pencil in Spice (Bollywood actresses recommend this all the time, but didn't want to spend the money before trying out the dupe, and man, after my NYX is done, I'm trying out the MAC version)
  
  
  
• Lip Gloss: Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Luminous Lip Gloss in Royal Plum I actually got this in a package of 4 from my boyfriend's brother for Christmas, I wasn't really that much into glosses at the time, I always had a bad experience of my hair sticking to my lips, smudging, etc, etc. This is perfect though; it stays in place, great nude colour for my pigmented lips, just the right amount of shine without looking trashy, and no hair stickiness. I would spend $24 to get another one to be honest. Love, love, love this!

My collection centers around elephants and owls.

My great-grandmother had an overwhelming collection of everything elephant. When she passed away, I took a few of her figurines and through the years I've picked up some of my own.

I've always loved owls, ever since I can remember. But I didn't start collecting them until I began dating my current bf. He and I have an owl-related inside joke from around the time we met. About a year later, owls started showing up everywhere in fashion & decor, so it's been super easy to pick up things here and there.

I really like surprises, so here are a couple of items that match the prize requirements: prize 1, prize 2, prize 3. Thanks for hosting a fun giveaway like this where we can learn more about each other and fret less on lighting and brow lines, hehe! :)

I’m so glad I can help out! For eyes, I would start with those three items you mentioned. I’ve found mascara pretty tricky because my lashes are pretty thin. False eyelashes are hugely impactful though; I’d highly recommend those. Using them is convenient too and cuts out the need for mascara for the most part, except for maybe your lower lashes. Also, don’t be afraid to try a little lipstick! If you were to buy a lip liner pencil (the good ones are $5 or so), you can overdraw or adjust your lip shape into what you want, then fill in with it or lipstick/other lip paints. If that isn’t for you, a little bit of lip gloss goes a long way.

Also, for makeup, look up tutorials on YouTube. Whenever I’m unsure about literally anything, I can find a video tutorial for it. You can search for specific products, and there will likely be videos that tell you the nitty gritty like “this specific product from this brand has extra shimmer to it, so don’t go overboard with it.” The other day I had problems putting on lipstick neatly at the corners, and watching a 2-minute video helped immensely. Seeing it being done is so useful.

Having long hair must be awesome! I’ve been growing mine out and for the first time ever went for more than three months without a haircut. You definitely know way more than I do when it comes down to managing long hair, although I will say that investing in a curling iron if you don’t already have could probably make a significant difference, allowing for total versatility. Other than that, I bet it looks glorious on you! Hope to see how everything works out for you 😊 If you find that any of this is helpful, don’t hesitate to message my inbox. And once again, enjoy your stay here in our little subreddit!

To be honest a lot of Benefit products suck. They tend to be gimmicky or cute with packaging or selling a product you don't really need. (A-hem.) But when they do have a great product, they really do have a great product. I really love High Beam and their Big Beautiful Eyes palette.

Ok so I'd normally never recommend such a lame brand but honestly Mary Kay makes a clear lip liner I really like. $6 on Amazon.

It works great, no color at all. I'm sure other brand makes the same thing but the Mary Kay one is good.

For your #1, I don't know if you're into shopping this way but substantial price reduction (since it's wholesale, a lot of them have a min order of several pieces--you can type in "2" at the top in the "Min Order" box and it will show you single purchase options). I say jump on your #2! (I really can't say enough good things about Tarte.) And could you sample #3 anywhere before buying it? Or at least get a place to put it on you to test out the look?

Oh man:

1. The Lime Crime lipglosses (versus the lipisticks). They're so pretty, but I do all my ordering online and at Amazon they range from $30-100 (which is a lot to spend when the lipsticks are only $18). But I'm sort of working up the nerve to get...one...soon. Maybe.
   
   
2. E.L.F. eyshadow palettes, especially the Geo ones. Not because they're expensive, but because I got like a 252 Coastal Scents one and I don't know if I can justify the purchases.
   
   
3. Gah! The Ella International Lip Chic Lipstick Sealer. I've had such poor luck with lipstick sealants, but I'm so desperate to find something that locks mine in place.
   
   
4. There are a crazy amount of sets on Amazon I want, like [this] (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B004INMM6U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=FOLN2JV027ZV&coliid=I3QIPIGL8GAW5Z), this, or this...I'm sure you understand why I have yet to get any.
   
   
5. And finally: Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel--I've heard good reviews from people in person, but the online weigh-in has me hesitating.
   
   

I've been eying NYX's wonder pencil because it can be used as a concealer, lipliner, and eyeliner! I noticed you have some lipbalms on your wishlist and EOS is great for that! This Kindle book looks especially funny! I love boobies ;3

edit: WHY CAN'T I LINK THE BOOK NICELY
This necklace is the cutest.. Also I saw this amazing Detroit necklace! It's a little over $5 though... This ear cuff looks really cool!

Happy birthday! :D



If it was my birthday, I'd ask for the Meet Matte Nude Palette from the Balm because I adore matte shades and have very few, and probably the Nyx Wonder Pencil because I've heard great things!

It's my party!

cheesecake all day everyday

Seriously cheesecake is my favorite thing ever!!! It combines my 2 favorite things, cheese & cake! But chocolate cheesecake is even better. Cheesecake is actually pretty easy to make too! Now I want cheesecake...

item

1. I just got back last night from a weekend away with friends, so my day has been filled with three very attention hungry kitties!
   
   
2. I'd love to find a new renter this week. My SO and I can afford to rent on our own, but money's tight and we'd love some more wiggle room financially.
   
   
3. A) I'm going to go through my full skincare routine today, and put on minimal makeup. B) I'll be getting online later today to play games with my brother since I don't see him very often...Skype and games are our bonding times! C) When I go grocery shopping later today, I will not be buying any ready-made type foods or anything unnecessarily sugary or salty. When I do eat those foods, they make me feel so sick!
   
   4.Just a little lip liner!

This lip pencil would be awesome! I've never used one, but I have been wanting to try a lip liner. :) Nude sounds like a good color to start with.

Imgur separated the link for some reason, so here is the Amazon link in case anyone is interested in purchasing! Yes it's also Prime. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VF344X0/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Also apologies for the horrible text-on-words.. I did this quickly on mobile. I hope it'll suffice lol)

It's 12 lip liners for $8.43 (and 2 day shipping for Prime people) by the way, not $8.43 per pencil. I honestly think $9 for 12 different colors is a great deal. Definitely not all the colors in the rainbow but there's some staple shades in there like a variety of pinks, nudes, and browns!

My toddler is two this Halloween and we weren't going to do anything spooky scary and it just isn't in the cards this year, but I was wanting to dress up like a flapper. I wanted to go the whole nine yards with the dress, the hair (I have a short bob), shoes, makeup and even a cigarette holder. My toddler, I was going to dress him up in a zoot suit, slick back his baby fine blonde hair, shine up those shoes and have his candy bag look like a money bag. Then for my husband I was wanting him to dress up as an old school detective. Hopefull next year :/

I were picked I would love to try this puppy out.

Sometimes I can't wait to be able to afford an expensive brand so I like to try out the super (cheaper than a drugstore) cheap stuff. I also don't like using my expensive stuff for day to day stuff like work.

I got this 12 pack on Amazon and was inspired to swatch it after a user did the exact same thing on here yesterday (i can't find the post to link to it).

Overall, for £5.99 for the whole pack i'd say they're pretty decent. The texture after applying isn't as dry as the high-end brands so it's not as long lasting but they have made it through a bowl of soup, bottle of water and a cup of coffee today.

The colour on the tip of the pencils don't reflect what actually comes out so I'll have to refer to this swatch every time I want to use one. I was actually a little sad before this swatch because I thought I had a bunch of duplicates because of the colour on the pencils. But as you can see, there's alot of variety in colour and they're all colours i'd use.

I got this set of 12 lipliners on Amazon, that works awesome and was super cheap. But lip liners are also one of the areas of makeup I go cheaper on.

Well it's not exactly liner, but if you found a sealer or mixing medium, you could mix that with a red eyeshadow to make eyeliner. I use this method to make a lot of different coloured eyeliner. There's also these from OCC, which I've found but haven't tried out yet, pretty expensive though. I also wanted to try out this pencil from L'Oreal, although I don't know if that would be eye safe.

:( oh no - we're always here for you!!

I'ma link dis item even tho I'm not that cool. Hope you 4give me
