The Lipstick League – week of 9.24.18

Question of the Week: Drugstore vs prestige cosmetics – which is better?

EauMG’s Answer: I don’t think it is an either/or sort of thing! Good (and bad) products exist at all price points. These days drugstore products have really stepped up their game (you can see many examples of this even during this week’s Lipstick League).

A Few e.l.f. Cosmetics Mini Reviews

I have been meaning to review a few e.l.f. cosmetics for ages now. They’ll never get done unless I clump them all together and “mini review” them.

Wet n Wild Sunset Peach Lipstick review

Weekly Cheap Secret:
