Lipstick League Question of the Week
What’s your least expensive yet most effective beauty tip/product?
G's answer: Oh this question is torturous! I have so many, but I think I'm going to have to go with the $1 e.l.f. concealer brush (available at Target, most Big Lots stores and online) that I use to clean up my manicures. That brush is an absolute lifesaver and I probably use it more than any other beauty tool I own (aside from my tweezers, of course).

Extra virgin olive oil.. makeup remover, moisturizer, and hair serum just for starters. Followed closely by Milk of magnesia.. hands down the best mattifyer/primer in existence for oily skin. Both about $3.
ReplyDeleteCoconut oil coconut oil coconut oil! THE BEST LIP TREATMENT. I have constant chapped lips and an lifelong habit of chewing / picking at my lips and if I slather on coconut oil they are healed in 1-2 days. I've literally never seen my lips look or feel like this in my life. Overnight I will pile on coconut oil, wait a few mins then put on carmex OH GOD. Lip stains are my best friend again, they don't turn into an infrared heat map when the stain wears down. AND MY HAIR I no longer have to use conditioner and it's so soft. And I use it on my face before bed and shockingly it doesn't make me break out. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS FOR COCONUT OIL.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your coconut oil? At the health food store? I've been curious about trying it for hair treatments and as the odd moisturizer mask.
DeleteI don't get the fancy stuff, I get mine at the local big grocery store. I've seen it at all the big chain grocery stores as well as big box stores. In the aisle with cooking oil, I get the Luann brand (it's tasteless and odorless) It's a really big jar and I've never paid more than $7.
DeleteMay i ask what the Lipstick League is? I'm semi-new, i'd say i found your blog about 4 months ago and have always been confused about what this post is! You answer a question and provide links, but why?
ReplyDeleteThe Lipstick League is a link round-up group comprised of eleven beauty bloggers. Link round-up groups are quite popular in the blogging community (and not just beauty blogs--you will find LOTS of link round-up groups in food blogs, craft blogs, etc.).
DeleteIt's basically when a group of bloggers come together and submit their "best post of the week" and create a list, which is then posted once a week on ALL of the members' blogs. It's a way to share your content with a wider audience, since your link is going to the audience of every blog in the group and vice-versa.
I've heard from several readers who use The Lipstick League as a way to quickly and easily catch up on the "hot topics" of the week from several blogs all at one time.
Hope that answers your question!
