Well that was good work!
I have not bought much lately, and it's going to stay that way for a while. I have so much stuff. :)
I would actually like to play more with what I have. Like...taupe. I have a taupe shadow. I never wear it. Why not? It's a perfectly good taupe shadow. It'll probably look nice if I combine it with a colored shadow.
The Silly Goose is actually an excellent shadow for green eyes. The key...for me anyway...was finding a yellow green shadow. Green with too much blue is not good on me.
As far as lipstick...mmm...I think I have finally figured out what works.
Basically I need two colors. One should be neutral...MAC Jubilee is fine. One should be rose. Sweet Sorbet is not the rose. I'm guessing there's a rose Lustre lipstick? I have no idea, I'll probably check out the soupsake site and see.
The logic is that I don't always want that much color. But sometimes I do.
Heh heh...that was really deep, wasn't it?
Lessee...I bought Jubilee at the beginning of September last year. Sweet Sorbet, at the beginning of August.
Meaning...what I would have guessed. Two lipsticks last at least six months. I used to use only one lipstick, and I remember buying it every three to four months. So two, should last six to eight months.
Ergo I could add on a third and still not have lipsticks drying out on me. (Even cheap lipsticks last one year.)
Do I need three lipsticks? I could do with something a tad eccentric. I'll have to think about it but I'm not buying anything until either Jubilee or Sweet Sorbet bites the dust.
