Earlier this week Becca and I went to Big Lots I and discovered the beauty of heavily discounted cosmetics. These lipsticks were $2 each, and I’m kicking myself because as you’ll see, I picked up some very safe shades. They had a deeper, cherry red that I think would’ve matched my skin tone pretty good, but no use sulking now.
This one is so close to my natural lip color that there’s almost no point. It has a little bit of shimmer to it that I don’t like. It makes my lips look grainy. I’ll try it again when my lips recover from their wintery chapped-ness.
Peach turned out much better. It gives a natural flush of color but still had a little shimmer that I wasn’t crazy about. This one at least made it into my make-up bag to take to work. Neither shade lasts very long either. Overall, I think I got what I paid for, but I still am excited about future trips to Big Lots so I can test new colors for cheap.



I can always pick up that color when I’m back in Denton if you still want it! Also, are you busy this weekend? Because I will not be working and I will want to see yer face.
Could you! I’ll pay you back the whole $2, you know I’m good for it.
I’m working this Saturday but I think I’m off Sunday. I’ll let you know!
Icy Nude looks very pretty on you. :)
Thank you! It’s starting to grow on me now that my lips aren’t a chapped mess.
