Make-up/lip color

I like the color on your lips in the first picture but it looks smudged around the edges of your lips. I picked up a Sephora lip stain for $12 and mixed it with Revlon Colorstay Ultimate which cost about the same for the perfect shade. They last all day at work even with eating and drinking. I also swear by my new eyelid primer. My eye shadow really pops now. I have one from Milani and another from Urban Decay. Urban Decay also has the most amazing setting spray. Good luck and have fun trying out your look.

It probably was a little, I zoomed in and seen around the edges of my lips were I don't think I filled in all the way. I was on my way to my sisters funeral and she didn't get to see my weeding make up so I thought Id wear it so she could "see" it. Kind of morbid or weird I know, but it was comforting. I also talked to her about or wedding and showed her photos before we took her off life-support.

I LOVE my Urban Decay setting spray and eye shadow primer, I would be lost with out them. My eye lids get so oily and that is the only thing that I have found that really helps. The setting spray is called DE slick or Oil slick something like that and is for oily skin. I need to find a good primer that I like that is for the same skin type. I have a few that I have tried but some of them tends to make my face even more oily. I'm hoping since our wedding is in April that I won't be sweating as much (if any) so it would help a little with the oiliness.

I also signed up for a class that and Urban Decay rep is putting on at our local ULTA in Nov. They will teach you the fundamentals of make-up and applications and show you how to contour, blend, brows, and all kinds of stuff. I'm pretty excited to go to it.

Thank you! The eye shadow was just a mix of 2 different colors. I think one may have even been the cheap LA colors. The UD is so worth it, its the one thing I actually splurge on because it is so good. I just read about Sephora giving out free samples this morning! I need to see if there is one close to us, if so I'll just turn it into a nice day trip soon.

I doesn't sound weird at all. I'm sorry for your loss.

I have a primer for my face that does well on my oily T-zone. It's a matte primer by Rimmel. I really like it. I still use my rice paper blotters but I find I only need them once throughout the day.

That does sound like fun. I just happened to walk into a Sephora, it's honestly a place I avoided because I just assumed everything was overpriced but the lady there was so helpful and I got good deals.

I bought my perfume from Sephora, I only wear it for special occasions because for a 3oz bottle it was $80! We walked through the one on the Vegas strip and my fiancé liked the perfume. I ended up going back in and buying it! If we weren't on vacation and I wanted to splurge on something I would have never bought it. Thank you for the primer suggestion I can use any I can get. In the next few weeks I plan on going to Sephora to check out a few things and ask about some samples.
