The Lipstick League – week of 9.16.13
Happy first day of fall!
Question of the Week: Fall is here! What makeup items are you adding to your stash to celebrate the season?
EauMG’s Answer: Good question! Currently, I’m lacking inspiration for new items. I believe I have mostly what I need. I am looking for a pretty oyster shell nail polish and a deeper mauve cream blush (if you know of any, please share!). I think most of this fall I’ll be wearing Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rum Raisin (pink brown), Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Glamorous Life (metallic rose gold) and Inglot Eyeshadow in 348 (medium matte gray).

Hi, Victoria!
Regarding your search for blush, since the range of cream blushes is not wide enough nor can one find the right quality, why don’t you search for a lipstick to do the job? I prefer cream full-pigment lipsticks for blush, because I can sheer them out as much as I desire and they are long-lasting.
Thank you! Good idea. The shade that I was actually thinking of is the same shade as a satin finish Revlon lipstick that I have (Super Lustrous formula). I will give that a try! Thanks 🙂
For the blush — try Becca Beach Tint in Watermelon. It’s a deep mauvey pink but it goes on pretty sheer. I’m fair/blond and I like the effect.

OK. I will.
I prefer cream textures in the winter here because they hold up better in the rain. Powder blushes look awful on a damp face.
I’m pro cream blush in general. Have you tried the Maybelline Bouncy blushes? I LOVE the bright red shade. There might be a mauve one in that line too.

I have that “hot red” or whatever. I really like it. I don’t have any of the colors. I’m sure they have a lighter shade like a mauve or something.
There’s a “plum wine” shade that might fit the bill

I’m going to the drugstore today…this is my mission.
KURE BAZAAR has lovely oyster shades in Milk, Rose Milk and one more, I think Beige Milk? They are really pretty, non-toxic as much as possible, nail polishes. I like the Rose Milk best. You can see all of their colours on the website.
Thank you for introducing me to this line. I’ve never heard of it before!
Rose Milk is gorgeous. That’s the sort of shade I’d imagine I’d wear frequently.
