The Lipstick League – week of 5.7.18

Happy Mother’s Day!

Question of the Week: What’s the most expensive eye shadow palette you own, and is it worth it?

EauMG’s Answer: Good question. There are many expensive eyeshadow palettes that I’d like to own (like the one from Pat McGrath). However, I love makeup but I’m not super into eyeshadow palettes. I like singles and to spend my money on lipsticks. I have lots of palettes that are cheaper than the Pat

Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Perfume

A couple New Year’s Days ago, I was washing my hands after making enough tamales to feed a multi-generational familial unit. I glanced into the mirror and saw something light at my center part. Thinking it was masa, I went to wipe it off. It didn’t budge. Upon further inspection, I was mortified. There they were. Gray hairs. It was like they popped up overnight to ring in the new year. I didn’t feel old. WHY WAS MY BODY DOING THIS TO ME?

I had a feeling it’d be another sweet fragrance with a patchouli base – the mainstream “noir” recipe. Keep in mind, I love Mugler Angel Muse and I’m… Continue reading | 18 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 11.28.16

Question of the Week: Spill it! What beauty products did you buy during Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday?

EauMG’s Answer: It was tough, but I kept it under control. I bought one of those Black Friday boxes from Memebox. I don’t need any of its contents but it’s the novelty. I classified that purchase into my “entertainment budget”. YSL had 20% off. I bought YSL Opium Body Oil because I didn’t know

The Lipstick League – Week of 10.12.15

Question of the Week: When you make a “blind purchase” (buy a beauty product without ever having seen it in person), how important is it to you to read reviews first? Have you ever made a blind purchase without reading a single review?

EauMG’s Answer: For me, it’s really important for me to read reviews or if it is a color product, to look at swatches online. I’ve found myself in the makeup aisles of the drugstore looking
