(Part 2) Best lip makeup according to redditors

I have something called the Every Drop lip spatula...it's pretty much just a long handled silicone doe foot applicator that is small enough to get into slim tubes (such as a lipgloss tube) to scoop out every last bit. They also sell one that is a larger spatula made to use in wider bottles like foundation bottles. I bought mine at the Container Store but I've seen them everywhere now plus on Amazon and other places online.

Every Drop Lip Spatula

I want to take a second and underline the point that u/Kindapuffy made about not everything being a good deal. Amazon is well known for fake makeup, but they do have a good number of legitimate brands. If you check the item page and it says ships from Amazon, it's probably okay. Items shipping from 3rd party sellers are highly questionable, especially for mid-range to high-end brands.

We know there are some brands that Amazon sells that are legit, like Lime Crime, Jouer, LORAC, Stila, etc. but there are also fakes for these brands available from 3rd parties on Amazon, as well as resellers who might not be selling fakes but aren't selling you merchandise direct from the company or from Amazon.

To make sure what you're buying is legit, check the following:

• Who is the seller? Who ships the item? Is it the company (LORAC, Lime Crime) or Amazon, or is it a 3rd party?
  
  
• Is the non-sale price listed the same as the original price if I were to buy this item at Ulta/Sephora or direct from the company web site? If it's different, you might be looking at a fake or reseller.
  
  
• What are the reviews like? Does anyone mention fakes or resellers?
  
  
• How did I find this product? If you found it through a brand link on Amazon's Luxury Beauty page, it's likely fine. If you found it through searching for the brand or product, it could be fake, so be careful.
  
  Examples:
  
  

• Real Lime Crime Velvetine: sold by Lime Crime, fulfilled by Amazon with Prime shipping, $20 is the normal price for this product.
  
  
• Real LORAC Pro Palette: sold/shipped by Amazon, item located by going through Luxury Beauty brands list (not by searching), $44 is the normal price for this product.
  
  
• Fake/Reseller Lime Crime Velvetine: sold/shipped by globalbeautybuy, $29.49 is above the normal price for this product, reviews state people received fakes and incorrect shades.
  
  
• Fake/Reseller LORAC MegaPro 2 Palette: sold/shipped by I Just Love Coach, $104 + $4.99 shipping is almost twice the original price for this palette, which has been out of stock for some time.
  
  
• Fake/Reseller Modern Renaissance Palette: sold/shipped by Atariel's, $42 is the regular price for this product but reviews show pictures of misspelled shade names and descriptions mention a weird smell, packaging not matching the real one, etc.

Honestly, I just slam it on my palm like a ketchup bottle. Does hurt after a while because it's almost impossible to get out.

An alternative is to get a small flexible spatula to scoop it out like this

Apparently on Amazon and only $30

I personally think a nice glass of merlot is lovely and sweet.

Thanks for hosting this contest!

Happy Cakeday Cuppycaek!! I hope your year was wonderful!

Here is a poem:

A wish for lots of birthday fun.

To last until the day is done.

Hoping that all your wishes comes true,

and your birthday cake is as sweet as you!


Sweet Temptations

Some Strawberry Daiquiri?

Edit: Formatting

HAPPY CAKE DAY!!!!!!

Do you think cherries are delicious?

Or how about some sweet strawberries?

How about a strawberry blonde?

Mmmm, mmmm, strawberry shortcake!

Why not a second serving of strawberry shortcake?

You could chase all that down with a strawberry daiquiri!

Too much alcohol might make you blush, though.

But no matter what, go out shimmering!

EDIT: I just realized that some of them are over $15, but I had a story to tell!

Alright, first...Happy Early Birthday!!!

Now on to face things.

Skincare

First of all you should check out r/skincareaddiction. Even if you don't want to join the community the FAQ is great.

What I do for my normal/oily skin is every morning and every night I wash with CeraVe Foaming Face Wash which is recommended for oilier skin. So you might want to check that out.

Every 3 days or so I exfoliate with Epicuren which is just from my mom's shop but it's a nice deep scrubs without being too abrasive. You don't want abrasive like with say St. Ive Apricot scrub because you're actually tearing your skin and that's just not very nice. You want to gently exfoliate.

Once a week I use a LUSH face mask. My favorite is Love Lettuce because it's refreshing and exfoliating. Second favorite is definitely Cupcake. I feel so clean and bright after it.

Wipe off your makeup before you go to bed. It's bad for your skin and bad for your sheets. Whatever you do to take it off, just get it off. I use vaseline. It's cheap and easy on my sensitive skin.

Clean your brushes. Clean them. Seriously. What I do is after every makeup application I get a tissue and something with and edge like the edge of my dresser and I wipe the brush over the tissue over the edge to get all the excess makeup out. Then every 2 weeks I do a deep clean. Get a bar of some kind (towel rack, clothes hanger) and rubber bands. Get some warm, running water, and either some baby shampoo or some brush cleaner (though honestly I just use shampoo) and wet your brushes, bristles pointing downwards always. You don't want to get water trapped inside the little metal/plastic attaching ring thingy. Add a dot of shampoo to your hand and swish that brush around. It'll be gross. Good. You'll always remember to do it now that you know how gross your brushes get. Rinse bristles down. Dry bristles down by wrapping the rubber band around the handle and attaching to your rod/hanger.

Makeup

This is what I cannot live without

1. Naked Basics. This is the best $27 I have ever spent in my life. I use it every single friggin day. All of the colors are perfect neutral mattes from lightest light to darkest dark. I even use one of the colors to fill my eyebrows. It's perfect.
   
   
2. Wet n Wild Liquid Liner. I've become a liquid liner addict. It really helps make it look like I have eyelashes. The brush is very firm and very thin so I always end up with a line where I want it.
   
   
3. Urban Decay 24/7 glide on liner in Smoke. I have very light eye lashes. So I tight line.. Trust me. You want to tight line.
   
   
4. Clump Crusher I love this mascara. It really is non-clumping and while it doesn't give me the longest lashes in the world it makes them look fuller because there's no clumps.
   
   
5. Smashbox BB Cream. This is just the BB cream I use. It does what all the BB creams do but I happen to match the 'Fair' color very well.
   
   
6. Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. This shit smells like chocolate. I'm not even joking. I'm new to bronzer, but it's perfect for my skin tone.
   
   
7. Sephora Blush. I'm still learning about blushes but I like that this one is matte. I'm not a sparkle face girl.
   
   
8. Lipstick. I have too many to choose. See this comment I did where I swatch and rated every lipstick I have.
   
   
9. E.L.F eye shadow primer You need primer. No. You need it.
   
   Makeup For You
   
   So if you're just starting out again you don't want to go spending a stupid amount of money before you figure out what you like. So here are my suggestions for you specifically.
   
   
10. Eyeshadow. Now if you can afford it, I highly recommend Urban Decay Naked Basics. But that's $27. So in lieu of that I suggest you get some Wet n Wild Eyeshadows. Maybe this one or this one.
    
    
11. Eye shadow primer. Go to target and find the ELF section and get primer. It's a dollar and it will make your eye shadow amazing. No reapplying no smudging no creasing. Just perfect perfect eyes. It comes in other colors too, you may want to get a shade darker if you want to match your skin tone.
    
    
12. Eyeliner. I would say get a pencil in either black or dark brown. I don't know if liquid liner is right for your eye shape but if you want to give it a go then you do whatever you want; it's your face.
    
    
13. Eyelashes. Get a lash curler. Two to three curls and you should be good. I'd say black mascara for you.
    
    
14. Eyebrows. I'm not an eyebrow expert but you're probably going to want to shape and fill in your eye brows (unless you love them just the way they are). For shape I'd go to a professional first before you wax at home or go plucking away. Then for filling in you can just use an eyebrow kit. Although I've heard complaint that dark eyebrows are the hardest to find a matching color for :(
    
    
15. BB Cream. I hear Etude house kicks butt and it won't break your bank.
    
    
16. Concealer. I love Maybelline 24 Hour Superstay Concealer it's awesome. You want to blend that stuff too, don't just dot it on.
    
    
17. Blush. I think maybe a peachy blush but pictures don't always show stuff right for skin tone so maybe you need pink. I can't really tell.
    
    
18. Bronzer. You've got great cheek bones. I would skip this for now. Unless you're super gungho in which case: I'd check out The Balm.
    
    
19. Lipstick. Cheap and amazing lipstick is NYX and I think a nice natural shade would look great on you. But seriously, if you live near an ulta, nyx is like $3.99-$5.99 for lipstick. It's amazing. Or everyone goes gaga for these Etude House Bunny Glosses.
    
    Anyway, I think you look really great and that's the best start is being confident and having a natural beauty. Also I love your hair. But if you have any questions just let me know :)

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.

Me too! I feel like it's the only bright lip color I can wear... Or the only bright lip color I have the balls to wear, there's some debate going on there. My HG red is [Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lip Color in Fiery.] (http://www.amazon.com/Stila-Cosmetics-Liquid-Color-Fiery/dp/B007ZUGBU6/ref=sr_1_2_m?ie=UTF8&qid=1369076760&sr=8-2&keywords=stila+fiery)

I just placed an order on amazon for red velvet, here's a link https://www.amazon.com/REVLON-Colorburst-Butter-Velvet-Ounce/dp/B006GQFHYG

Wow, TIL there's such a thing as a beauty spatula!

Happy birthday, lady!!

Family dinners for birthdays are big in my family. As I get older I haven't really celebrated much, but the dinner is always there : )

Since we're taking birthdays dinners, I'll add a little side story here. My son just turned 3 on Friday. I was trying to explain to him that he could pick anything he wanted for dinner, and tried to give him examples by listing some of his favorite foods. Instead, he insisted on having carrots and grapes! I'm sure he'll catch on next year!

Anyway, I would love to have NYX Butter Lip Gloss in Raspberrry Tart.

Have a great birthday and thanks for hosting!

Time is running out!
The flower crown has leaves, if that counts! And the ring is the gold thing.

If my number is drawn, I would like to win this! Thanks for doing this again! :)

What a wicked fun idea!! This thing that I have needed for a berry long time...heh heh. And for when you need healthy sweets, why not this? And this is cute and sweet, which is always a great match! Thanks for hosting!

Thanks for hosting! I've been wainting to try Nyx lip butter in Licorice

It doesn't qualify for amazon prime shipping, but it has free shipping anyways. So I hope that is ok!

Snow, snow, go away

You are pretty and damn awesome

It's funny that the reddit raffle word is neil, because my favorite author is Neal Shusterman, which is close haha. My favorite series by him is the skinjacker trilogy,(Everlost) but he has a whole bunch of books outside of that series which are amazing as well. Here is my item (one of the sellers has it for $4.96 plus free shipping)

Amazon pay Jerron right meow!! I command you!

Its 4.87 with free shipping, NYX indie flick

Thanks!

I don't know much about lipstick, but I have seen Kleancolor mentioned in a few places before. If you want a few different colours relatively cheap, you could try these, these or this (I've heard good things about Manic Panic, I used to use their hair dye, too!)

Edit: Sentence made no sense :3

Congrats and good luck on your interview! I have been dying to try this lip butter. It's $5.30, but I think it's the closest thing on my list to under 5!

I hope it's alright to have added a YSL lippie to my wishlist for this. I've always tried to avoid the more expensive stuff under the assumption that... no one would ever afford it, I can't afford it, and I'm afraid of looking... I dunno. (Social anxiety go!)

Anyhow... This is the one I'd love: http://www.amazon.com/Yves-Saint-Laurent-Rouge-Lipstick/dp/B004385V1I/

I've always bought these pinkish lippies over the years and only recently really realized I look best with dark reds, purples, etc.

YSL Mystery Glammer

Sounds like fun!!

I'm Bree and my favorite current product is my Too Faced Hot Cocoa bronzing powder I was glammed as a contest win about a week ago. I'm still trying to perfect a favorite look, but for me it's a subtle smoky eye with light blush and bronzer, plus a bright pink/peach lip. I still can't decide if I look ridiculous when I do it all though, we'll see.

My interesting fact is that Wisconsin (the state I'm currently living in), has more bars per capita than any other state in the union. There's also more drunk drivers in Wisconsin than anywhere else... probably not so good.

Here's a lipstick in Indie Flick that I've been wanting to get my hands on.

Thanks for the contest!

here is wish

Here's a similar one for under 5 dollars on Amazon.

And another, no flower in this one but it's transparent with the gold fllakes.

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!

How sweet of you! :) Thank you!

Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower! I grew up with a flower nursery behind my house so I had the luxury of romping around the greenhouses for fun. They had a lot of land and on it had a field of sunflowers. I took this a few summers ago :)

Spring color!

Here is something I did the other day. I leaving a department store and noticed an older lady standing in the middle of the parking lot. She was just standing there, looking around, looking confused. I went up to her and asked her if she was ok. She said she lost her car, she swore she parked it right there but it was not there. I asked her if she maybe got confused over where it was, and offered to drive her around the lot in my car so we could find it and she did not have to walk. She did, and we found her car parked on the other side of the shopping plaza.

Products: This NYX matte lip cream, this Essie nail polish, and this face mask.

Thanks for hosting!!!

Thanks for hosting!

• Not that weird, but Heroine sounds like a weird wishlist item when I put it that way, amirite? (Seriously I have this because I'm just starting to realize how fabulous purple lipstick looks with my complexion and red hair)
  
• And this empty palette for pressing seems weird to me because I've never been brave enough to try it myself!
  
  We all know interspecies romance is weird
  

From my beauty list... honestly, any of these!

Patrick Kane is our hero. Whoever that is.

Pretty lip stain! Thank you for the contest!

Pillow fiiights! Nail painting! Bake cookies and/or cupcakes! Build a pillow fort! Uhh, set up a little photobooth section where you can dress up and take silly pictures together! :D Do some karaoke or maybe have a little fashion show to some music! Have a chocolate facial!

I'd LOOOOVE this bunny lip gloss if I happen to win :) Thanks for the contest! <3

I did and I replied, but apparently something went wrong when I replied? It shows on here that everything sent fine though. I copy/pasted my reply here:
Oh wow, thank you so much! I am having a really hard time choosing between MAC Heroine and Chi Chi's Viva La Diva Lipstick in Say My Name. I do not own any MAC or Chi Chi products, so either brand would be a first for me! (The only non-drugstore products I own are 2 Clinique lipsticks and a Clinique eyeshadow duo) Since I can't decide, is it okay if I just let you surprise me? I love surprises! :)

I found Licorice on Amazon.co.uk with free shipping but couldn't find Fireball at all: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I48BHSO?psc=1

I love love LOVE purples lately, and I want to have a good solid purple for the new season. This purple is just omg. I want it on and around my lips. not actually around that'd look silly

How about Brazen Plum?

IT'S SO PRETTY




YSL Mystery Glammer

Aww I love scratch offs too! You're so sweet for using your winnings on this forum. If it's not too late to enter, I have been eyeing this! for a few weeks now :)

I'm feelin' like I should go get a lotto ticket now!

Thanks for hosting, that is super kind of you. ;) I've been drolling over ysl lipsticks and love the chance to win one. this color is life

YSL Mystery Glammer

Wow this is so nice of you and the mystery shopper! Thanks for hosting this great contest.

If I get chosen I would love to have this shade.

I am a queen of purple colors. ALL THE PURPLES!

My favorites tend to all be lip products-
Nyx Butter Gloss in Rasberry Tarte- I love the bright color I get from this. It's a mix of purple and pink and brings out my natural blush. It's not too far on the purple spectrum so I feel comfortable just throwing it on with anything.

JCat-Wonder Lip Paint- Always Late,Rabbit! (WLP 103)- This is a more muted lavender almost. Dries matte and has crazy awesome staying power.

JCat-Wonder Lip Paint- Queen of Harts (not showing on their store but)- A deep dark purple that is hardcore!
