Look! Purple lips! Sorry about the couple of flakies. :p This, unlike the last purple lip product featured, is a warmer purple and as such much easier to wear.

What is it, you say?

NYX Lipliners

I've yet to be convinced of the big difference between mid-range lip pencils and cheapity-cheap ones. I have two each from MAC and NYX, and the only deciding factor on which one I'd reach for is colour. The NYX apply smoothly, are much larger and cheaper and offer some different colours.

Black Dazzleglass? You Know It!

08/06/09, Permalink 12:11:30 pm, by Sanayhs, Categories: Pretties, On the Cheap

Now, when the dazzleglasses first came out, I was immediately crying about how damn expensive they were. Glittery lipgloss for how much!? I figured I could just mix up some glitter and gloss on my own, thankyouverymuch. More people caught on to that after a while, and now prices have risen (and for what? To pay for the big air bubble they now come with?), leaving me all the more firmly against purchasing these suckers (I've only a few, and I bought them all waaaay below retail). So, here I am today to make a super snazzy one - black!

As you probably know, dazzleglasses are hard to photograph, but I tried, damn it!

Cheap Face Spray? Yes Please!

So, I've never seen the point of dumping a ton of money to get a face spray that basically just freshens your skin up a bit and takes down any powderiness of your makeup. Can't you do that for cheap? I mean, what do you need? Some water, a humectant, a bit of caffeine...

Oh yeah, and a spray bottle!

Now, I don't know about you, but sometimes I get so wrapped up in the higher end stuff that I forget about some of the drugstore cosmetic items I have on hand. Now, this is a terribly silly thing, and as such, I thought I'd share one of my favourite drug store selections with you: Rimmel Vinyl lipglosses.

Lipstick Storage

05/15/09, Permalink 03:18:21 am, by Cosmetosaur, Categories: On the Cheap

Who doesn't want an organized way to organize their lipticks? If you only have a few, it's fine to simply throw them in a bag or a drawer and dig through until you find the one you want, but once you start to amass more than a dozen, this becomes straight up impractical. Face it, no one needs to spend precious minutes of their day searching for that one specific shade when they could be out wearing it!

As such, I present to you my personal method of lipstick storage:

Wait, what? Does that say Bits & Bites!?
