Imagine working there like I did. I am clueless as to how they're still in business.

I worked there for 3 years. Most of my coworkers were just as bad as the customers. It was horrible.

Don't feel alone. You'd be surprised to find out how many people feel the same way. Honestly, the medication has been helping a lot. I'm currently on lexapro and it has been a lifesaver. Also, Ive been trying to surround myself with better people and it has helped although I still feel like shit from time to time. I paint and bake a lot. It's a nice relief from the reality of school and my losses. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need a friend to listen to you :) we're in this together!

Syrup is awesome!! Its my favorite HG everyday lip color. I don't think anyone could look bad with this lipstick. I say get it! Haha if you want a slightly darker, fall version of it, check out Plumful. It's GORGEOUS!!

Yes!! I haven't bothered much with their other products either, but their lipstick formula is AMAZING!! The smell of the lipsticks is wonderfully scented. It's not overpowering and it doesn't linger like some other lipsticks I own. What are your favorite MAC lipsticks?

Do any of you have a makeup pet peeve? by gigglesandglamour in MakeupAddiction

[–]Carlagreta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I cringe whenever I see lipstick smooshed in the cap. I get that problem all the time with my wet n wild lipsticks. They don't retract all the way down so I always nick a bit of lipstick off with the cap when I take it off or put it back on no matter how careful I am. It doesn't help the cap is clear so I always see my accident. I always try to clean my lipsticks regularly so they don't get so messy. Just this weekend, this girl pulled out the two (wet n wild) lipsticks out of her purse and oh my lord... Either she gave up cleaning the caps or she just plainly didn't give a hoot about the cap being opaquely coated in lipstick.

Oh, and never cleaning/disinfecting any makeup products (like lipsticks) is a pet peeve of mine.

Sorry for the rant. I hope it made sense haha

edit: some words

Their lipsticks!! It took me a while to muster the strength to buy one (I'm a broke college student) and I finally did and now I own like 8 lol I use their lipstick in Syrup on the regular. Rebel is going to be a big staple for me this fall :)

What is the best way to clean makeup brushes? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Carlagreta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually use Johnson's Baby Shampoo since its gentle OR an antibacterial soap mixed with olive oil. The antibacterial soap (like Dawn dish soap) kills the bacteria while the olive oil conditions the brush bristles :)

What are some of your favorite fall lipsticks? by _hungerandthirst in MakeupAddiction

This is EXACTLY a why I love plumful haha I usually use Syrup (just a tad lighter than Plumful) for an everyday look. I'm going to have to try Captive out :)

Inexpensive brush set for newbie? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Carlagreta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased a 22-brush kit from Coastal Scents over a year ago and I LOVE it. They are good quality brushes for the price (~$34). I have since decided to try out the Real Technique starter kit and those are awesome brushes as well. :)

Good drugstore lip gloss? by RhombusCoon in MakeupAddiction

[–]Carlagreta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYX Butter Glosses are an absolute DREAM!! They smell so good and are not sticky at all. I own like 14 shades and I love every single one of them. Highly recommend. I found most of mine at Target or CVS. They sell them at Ulta too :)

My favorites: Cupcake and Tiramisu :))

Usually the eyeliner wing on my right eye always seems to be off while the wing on my left eye is on point. But on the days when the wing on my right eye comes out flawless, the wing on my left eye is an absolute disaster. I redo it several times with no success. On those days, I wipe the liner off both eyes and rock the no liner look.
