Finally I got makeup!

Not that I wear makeup all that often, but sometimes a girl just wants to feel pretty if she wants to go to the mall and sweat it all off or bored at home and still sweat it all off... So I like wearing a lot of monochrome makeup, I am pretty much a raccoon when I wear makeup and that is just what I like. So I use black eyeliners. I don't do anything fancy with concealers and such, I have sensitive skin and I'm also pale as a ghost and most foundations make me look orange because I an never find anything that matches me. I literally went up to someone at Ulta and then someone at Sephora and they were like...Oh...Wow. And tried to make me buy something that was 40 dollars heck to the no. And lastly, I just don't want to waste time with all that other face make up. I remember when I was in high school I literally just did line line, for under my eyes, and then swipe swip for eyeshadows and that was it. I know how to do make up, I just don't want to waste time and money. ANYWAY! So I only do eyeliner and eyeshadows mostly. And I got this all at the dollar tree! Now I know everyone is probably like wahhh cheap make up? Why would anyone do that? You can literally buy the same stuff at the grocery store and wal-mart for like 5 bucks per item where as at the dollar tree it is 1 buck per item. I like that better. How do I know you can buy this brand at Wal-mart? Well, well, well, I came to realize I have actually gotten that liquid eyeliner before! But it was at Frys and not the Dollar Tree, I got that liquid eyeliner I think in 2013 and still used it until I finally ran out like a few weeks ago..tell you now much I do my make up. So I felt happy with my purchase. I had to get a new crayon eyeliner as well (Am I the only one that calls that a crayon? People call it a pencil, but I think the ones that you have to sharpen are more a pencil but whatever). I have some eyeliner but it is L'oral Paris and apparently I am allergic to it! Everytime I wore it my eyes were watering and burning. Dang it, I want to channel my inner emo in style, not the emotion part! So I thought I would get a new one. Then I got a new palette for eyeshadows because the one I had, when I moved to Wyoming my palette broke and the mirror shattered and I didn't want to use it because I don't feel like getting glass in my eyes, that would suck. So I had no more just straight up black eyeshadow. How am I supposed to be My chemical romance in 2005 without black on black on black? Well now I can with pretty new monochrome happiness. I'm happy to get new items. Most of my makeup is all old, so I want to freshen up my collection with stuff that isn't like 2 decades old. I know makeup has an experation date, but nothing bad has happened to my skin so since I started wearing makeup when I was like 13 so..we good!

I like that palette! I should tidy up my room first and see what I have, before buying something new. Eye-pencils tend to disappear and reappear all the time. Maybe I also have some eye-liner hidden somewhere, I could learn how to apply it in the meanwhile, because obviously I suck at that. So you don't use lip products? I need to find a good long-lasting lipstick or that won't happen either.

@DesirousDreamer My ex often asked me to wear red lipstick, but I thought I looked like a clown because of my paleness. It doesn't feel like a color that suits me.

My makeup is the only thing I actually keep tidy haha I keep it all in one bag to the side. I don't like using lipsticks, most feel sticky to me and also I kind of like my natural lip color haha matches my paleness pretty well!

I am very pale as well usually even the palest shades are still to dark. I love the makeup you chose! I don't like L.A.Colors but yep you can get it at Walmart or dollar stores. Both are pretty low cost. I wear covergirl eye liner, lots of different brands of eyeshadow, l'oreal mascara, different brands of foundation and blush and lipstick, covergirl or mac factor for powder over the foundation. I wear a lot of makeup obviously ha ha and started when I was 12.

I like L. A. colors just because I know I am not allergic to them haha I haven't really tried any other brands, I do want to try Elf, I heard that brand was good. I have one Mac lipstick, but that is really it.

Makeup is makeup. Dont think it matters how much you buy it for or where. I only wear eyeliner. By avon but because i sell avon.

Would you believe I don't have any of those. I don't wear make up and I don't know how to put them hehe. All I have are lipsticks, lip balms, lip gloss. That's it just lip products. Not even powders. I have acne prone skin. I'm glad you're happy with your new buys.

It isn't hard to put on makeup haha just takes practice. But not everyone needs to wear makeup, well no one NEEDS to wear make up, it is just fun to do it!
