My favorite affordable 90's brown lip liners

*Purchased by me*

Hi Guys!

Today I wanted to share with you my favorite MLBB(my lips but better)/browny type lip liners. The 90's matte brown lipstick look is totally on trend at the moment and celebrities such as Kylie Jenner have pushed it to the mainstream level. As soon as the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan started showing up on red carpets and posting selfies on social media with that matte brown lip look, makeup lovers everywhere went crazy wanting to replicate the exact look. I went through my stash and pulled out 5 drugstore lip liners that will totally give you that 90's brown lip look without breaking the bank.
First off is Milani Color Statement Lip Liner in the color All Natural. I love this line of lip liners because the formula is so smooth and easy to apply on the lips. I never have problems with these liners tugging or skipping on my lips during application. This is a pencil liner that you need to sharpen. Because of how creamy it is, it's easy to over sharpen so be careful lol! Definitely an HG(holy grail) product for me. I would describe All Natural as a matte peachy brown. The price will range between $3.50-$4.99 depending where you can get it.  http://milanicosmetics.com/Color-Statement-Lipliner.html
Secondly is Milani Color Statement Lip Liner in Spice. Spice is a tad darker than All Natural. I would describe it as a matte peachy brown with a hint of mauve in it.
Thirdly is Jordana EasyLiner for Lips in the color Rock n' Rose. Jordana also owns Milani Cosmetics so if you can't get your hands on Milani go for Jordana if it is available to you. Jordana Easy Liner for Lips is my second favorite line of drugstore lip liners (Milani being the first). It is a retractable lip liner so no sharpening required. The formula glides on smoothly with minimal tugging. It isn't as creamy or opaque as Milani's Color Statement but for the price ($1.99) it is an excellent product. I have almost all the colors they offer and for what it costs, you won't feel guilty collecting all the colors ;P. Rock n' Rose is similar to Milani Spice but with less mauve in it. You can find Jordana at you local Walgreens. http://www.jordanacosmetics.com/p-98-easyliner-for-lips.aspx
The fourth liner is NYX Lip Liner Pencil in the color Mauve. NYX Mauve has been noted by many as a dupe for MAC lip liner in the color Whirl. I don't personally have Whirl but I have swatched it many times in store. They definitely look alike and if you don't want to spend $16 on Whirl, Mauve is a great dupe to try out. I find the NYX pencil liners to not be as creamy as Jordana or Milani. I do experience some skipping and tugging on the lips and sharpening is required. I would describe Mauve to be a matte mauvey brown. I know NYX displays are popping up at a lot of drugstores but I've only seen the Lip Liner Pencils at Ulta for $3.50 http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-117-slim-lip-pencil.aspx
Lastly is Jordana Easy Liner for Lips in Tawny. This is my go to liner for any medium pink MLBB  lipstick look I'm going for. I would describe this as the perfect matte pinky brown lip liner. It will go with any medium pink or nude lipstick.

Of course there are many other drugstore matte brown lip liner options to choose from but these are some of my drugstore favs that I wanted to share. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for clicking and have a great day everyone!

Personal Goals

Image
Like most people at the beginning of this year, I had set up to accomplish some goals. But unlike past years, I wanted to aim for more tangible feats that have been on my to do list forever now but were always pushed to the back burner due to having misaligned priorities and bad time management. Because I've grown to be more self aware of my patterns and behaviors, I've decided that this year I was going to reattempt some of my past goals and create habits to help keep my short term actions aligned with my long term values and beliefs. First thing I did in the beginning of 2019 was restart my blog. Writing for me has always been way I could express my thoughts and emotions through words. Back in 2016, I created a personal bullet journal to document and track my progress and experience in my new role as a cosmetic counter manager for the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom. My bullet journal became my baby during that period - I couldn't go a day without updating...

Anticipation

Image: Courtesy of Elite Fitness It is currently 7am on February 2nd and I'm sitting at my dining table having breakfast with my husband. We both like to get up early and sip our coffees together while we chat before our daughter gets up. I cherish these moments I have with my husband because it is during these chats is when we take time to reminisce on our past and plan out our futures together. At the moment, the Winter season is still in full gear in the Pacific Northwest and that takes away the fun from being outside. The forecast actually indicates that we'll have a couple frosty days with highs in the mid 30s degree F and lows in the mid 10s. So Cold!!! I'm really excited for the Spring and Summer seasons to arrive because that is when this whole region comes to life - literally. The Everett Farmers Market will commence once again starting in May and for once I'm actually be looking forward to my birthday month - July; I can finally start enjoying my spring ...

My Mental Health

Image
Through my entire life thus far, I was chasing this idea of happiness. As I navigated along the many peaks and valleys of this past decade, I found moments of happiness that I thought were finally going to be when...when I'd find true happiness and that emotion would carry me on towards all my other goals. But when life got a little rough at times; whether that be through ways of family, work or personal growth - I'd feel guilty for feeling any other emotion that resounded in my spirits other then happiness. That guilt would push me further into that ephemeral pursuit, causing more internal dissonance. However, I believe that I've finally reached a cognitive place of understanding about myself and my paradigm. It wasn't about just "being happy" and prolonging that state of mind at all times - that's actually the definition of being manic. Finding happiness for me actually meant finding purpose and meaning through my daily actions and future goals; th...
