In terms of makeup, you can typically go cheap-o with lipstick ( my favorite lipgloss is only $1, after all!). I'm a believer in learning when to splurge and when to save. I can wear it to the grocery store and not feel too done-up, but I think it makes my lips look fuller and makes me feel a bit more done-up than normal old gloss. I'm not a bold lipstick girl so I love this color because it is so feminine, natural, and pretty. It may take me a year (or two…) but saving them takes up no space so it doesn't bother me…and when you can get $16 lipstick for FREE, why not right? My favorite color is High Tea, by the way. But I keep a little baggie under my sink and collect my empty containers over time.
Now, as you saw on my “ everyday makeup routine” video, I use a blend of fancy makeup (like MAC), and plain ol' drugstore makeup. Once you get 6 containers (any kind of MAC product, it doesn't matter), then turn them in for a free lipstick! Just take your empty containers into a MAC makeup counter (at Nordstrom stores), hand them over, and tell them what lipstick color you want. One important errand? Pick up my favorite $16 MAC lipstick…for FREE! Today while my older kids were at preschool I ran some errands that have been on my to-do list for…well…about 4 months, I swear. Wanted to pop in and share a quick makeup freebie tip that you may or may not have known about!
