My room was a mess this weekend. I decided to get around to tackling it Sunday night around 6 PM because I am such a go-getter. I decided to start with my vanity because I had washed all my makeup brushes earlier. There are two missing and I just know I will find them under some furniture one day covered in cat spit and dust bunnies.

While going through everything, I noticed how I have an obscene amount of lip pencils. Most of them are various shades of nude. I ended up giving some to my sister.

After getting all this put away in two drawers and a train case (the little round jars are upside down pots with MAC pigments), I cleaned out 4 purses and found this.

Karen said if we are in Ulta and I pick up another lip pencil, she is going to slap it out of my hand.

lol.

There are many WAAAAY worse than me. In the MAC community, people post photos of drawers and drawers and drawers of makeup. Most not even opened. Quite a bit barely used.

BTW, that is how I get most of my MAC-people selling off their reserves.

can't run out. lol

Actually, two of those are near empty, but I couldn't recall which, so I put them all in there. The product is great, but the bottle design is retarded. I need to cut them open and put the product in something else as to not waste it.

I love that primer and I totally agree with you about the bottle design. I know they wanted it to look cute but it's so damn wasteful.

When I started adding color, it was usually just a bit at the corners.

I have a whole photobucket album of my experiments. Some are good some are ... well.. not.

I love doing people's makeup. When I went to that overnight party on NYE, I did 3 women's makeup.

I had two women tell me thank you for doing someone else's make up because I showed her how good she can look if she doesn't use liquid eyeliner under her eyes. gack.

heheh Cool, too bad you live too far away from me to help me do my makeup and show me some cool eyeshadow tricks! I still remember the cool eye thing you did for Halloween :D

Liquid eyeliner under the eyes?! eek....I don't use liquid eyeliner to begin with though LOL It's too messy for me and I just can't do it right, so I use my eyeliner pencils or that other style of eyeliner....the one where you turn the tube to make the eyeliner retract and it's really soft and glides on super easy...that's my favorite ;) hehehe

I rock a liquid every now and then, but what I really love is the little pots of gel eyeliner.

How much lip do you have that you need that many pencils?

Humm.. well that certainly doesn't look like an excessive amount.

nope. I tend to think it is just the right amount of lip for my face.

but less than what it appears there would be to warrant the insane amount of lip products I own.
