Makeup Shock

Every Friday is MAKEUP SHOCK! I bet you didn't know you the average women eats 7 pounds of makeup in her lifetime. Yeah, that means you. Kinda shocking??  What is in your in your lipstick anyway?? Oils??



Everyone has been freaking out about this "recent" discovery of leads and medals and other possibly harmful products in lipsticks. This issue has been around for longer than this past month, this past year even. Therefore it's time to talk. Beauty Bite, no no not the Beauty Bite segment with Mr. Kate on the youtube show The Platform, something much crazier. Imagine you are making lipstick, you, you have all the money in the world to make this product. What is so special about your lipstick? No medals? That is great, but how about you can eat it. Now step out of this daydream and welcome to reality again your dream came true! Bite Beauty Lipstick found exclusively at Sephora is now an amaaaaazing new lipstick (or semi new) that you can eat! Yes I said that correctly eat. No more worries, Hakuna Matata, now you have an amaze lipstick that you never have to worry about medals!  This lipstick is super safe for your mouth, however now you are wondering how safe is it for my wallet? Well I wish I could say it was lower, unfortunately $24. A very high price, therefore if you want some familiar brands let's go through the best lipsticks, without harmful ingredients of course.

High End:

3.LANCOME.
Lancome rogue in love, my personal fav has only a few ingredients none of which being potentially harmful! This is also a little pricey around $27 however still amazing color on lips!

2.BENEFIT.
Benefit full finish lipstick is only $18, some of you might say only?? Don't fret scroll down to see some drug store brands.

1.MAC.
Mac pro longwear lip creme, has a gorgeous finish only $16. MAC is known for there lipsticks, you didn't think we would leave them out did you?

Drug Store:

3.REVLON.
Revlon super lustrous collection is so creamy, the look is similar to MAC.

2.MILANI
Milani HD advanced lip color is amaaaaaazing! It reminds me of NYX a lot in look and is faboulous!

1.COVERGIRL
Covergirl lip perfection lipstick, amazing for your lips and your wallet, found at drugstores.

I hope you enjoyed this important post, if you did not already know about the harmful ingredients you know do! Also I wanted to provide some lipsticks I use and love that won't kill you. Enjoy!

Whats in my Makeup Bag?

A new series here on Makeup Abattoir. This will show what is in my makeup bag, changes daily! Thanks so much! Enjoy!




Today I am using a Hawaiian makeup bag. Made in Hawaii. Cute and functional!




First I have my concealer, covergirl+olay, not my favorite at all however today is a hot day so I am using a sticky concealer.




Next, I have my Revlon gel shadows. This is in the palette canyon. I used the blue on the lower lash line and have it in my bag just in case.



Next, I have an Ecotools petite eye brush. This is in my makeup bag to replenish any gel shadow smears, eyeliner, or even touch up.




Next, I have waterproof eyeliner, hot summer days call for this. You never know when a water balloon is around the corner. This is by far the best, in my experience, and my favorite waterproof mascara.



Then we have Maybelline FIT Matte foundation, one of my favorite drugstore foundations especially exceptional on hot summer days, waterproof and great coverage!



Finally, Revlon Custom Eyes. I use this to set gel shadows and the black for my eyeliner. 



I realize today I was carrying drugstore makeup at it's finest. However, I hate to waste my precious high end makeup on a hot summer day. Days like this make me wonder if I am really going to miss summer. Kidding of course. Any who I hope you enjoyed and I will see you back here tomorrow. Byeeeeeee.
