So I recently went through a phase during which I spent A LOT of time clearing my room of things I had no use for. I do this from time to time as a stress reliever because I often find my room very cluttered which adds to my anxiety (which really works btw.. the first thing I do when I'm stressed is get rid of the clutter!). Anyways, as I was going through drawers of makeup and clothes I never wore, I stumbled upon a few things I had forgotten about. Now, I'm not usually one for a pencil eyeliner... I know that sounds weird but I really do prefer liquid eyeliners. I just find that they come out nicer and I tend to look like a disheveled emo when I use a pencil. While cleaning, I came across my Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner in Carbon Black by L'Oreal. Needless to say... I am IN LOVE with this pencil... it looks just like a liquid liner when you put it on and its got this shine to it that i just find really pretty. The second thing I found that I was thrilled about was my Sephora brand pink lip stick (which I can't seem to find a colour or number on it).. I was kind of always afraid to wear it because I tend to wear more lip stains or tinted lip balms and if i used lipstick it would usually be a light coral or red. I have NO idea why I bought this... the bubblegum pinkness of it is something I would normally find very intimidating. I never wore it and just tossed it in the box with my other lipsticks thinking I may break it out if I go out to a club or something. But when I tried it on recently I found that it was a lot less bold then I had initially thought it was (it is more of a pale pink when on the lips). The lipstick has almost a glossy finish to it which I really like. The good thing about this lipstick is that it's kind of an introduction to pink lipstick for me. Instead of going full in with a super pigmented flourescent pink lipstick, I am merely dipping my toe in to test it out :)
ANYWAYS... moral of the story is go through your things! you might find something great that you forgot about. ALSO.. try something new with your makeup because without that you'll get stuck in a makeup rut D:
bye for now :)
