Stolen From Mom Tag
My first encounters with makeup undoubtedly
had to do with my mother and the pretty things she kept in and on her dressing
table. I think this may be true for many people as well. This tag was sparked
by the observation that I have a lot of makeup that I (shall we say) inherited. I’ve picked up lots of makeup from my
mom’s dresser over the years (and she has taken some of mine as well) and I
thought it would be fun to talk about a few of them.
Covergirl Queen Collection Lip Color in #Q415 Tawny Port
This is definitely one of my favorite
lipsticks and my favorite wine shade. It’s a deep red with a very slight plummy
undertone. It creates the best stains for every day and when applied well,
looks really good for evenings or days when you feel like being more dramatic. It is very moisturizing, nicely scented, and long lasting as are many of
my favorite lip products. My mom and I share this one and she takes it back
when I’m obsessing over another lip color and I take it back when she doesn’t
bring it with her when she goes away.
2. Do you have something of hers that she
doesn’t know you have taken?
Two Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow
Collection
This was in my September 2014 favorites and
it is still the palette I reach for the most. Silk Teddy is the prettiest thing and very few light ashy browns have beat out Velvet Revolver as my go-to contour shade. I took
this from the box where my mom keeps all the new stuff she is saving for later
or going to give away. I’ve had it for about a year now and I do not think she
has noticed. Shhhh.
3. What item have you taken that you have
not used?
Dior 1 Couleur Powder Mono Eyeshadow in #979
Grenache
It is a vibrant, blue-toned pink eye
shadow. I think I took this because I thought it was a blush. It is very pretty
with fairly decent color payoff. While it is beautiful, I am not too keen on
blue-toned pinks as I prefer coral and orange-toned ones. I tried to give this
one back, but my mom said I could keep it. She got it as a gift from her sister
and wasn’t too fond of the color either. My mom and I are more into neutral eye
shadows and colored eyeliners.
4. Is there something you have been meaning
to return?
NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors Lipstick in #LSS569
Snow White
Also a dark berry or wine shade. It has
more plum in it that the Covergirl one and has a satin finish and is far less
moisturizing. I really cannot do any lip that isn’t even a little glossy or
hydrating because my lips can get really dry. It gets really bad with satin and
matte finishes. My mom and I bought this together thinking it would be a good
thing to switch out for the Covergirl one. It is a good alternative if you need
a darker color, but definitely not if you need something moisturizing.
5. Are there things in your collection that
you think she wants to steal?
RealTechniques Powder Brush and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original
When I got this brush I let my mom feel how
super soft and fluffy it was. For a week after that she kept asking about it
and looked like she would really enjoy using it. Well, her and my aunt and my
cousin, who felt it as well. My mom felt the same way about my UD Primer
Potion. After I got the Naked palette from her she asked for the four samples
of Primer Potion that came after it and she has been using them and testing
them all out. This was months ago and she still has them. She stored them very
well and only uses the smallest amounts. She prefers the Original formula to
the others and put this on her Christmas list. If I found either of these
missing, I would know she probably borrowed them.
6. Do you have a makeup memory with your
mom that you want to share?
I was a very young kid, (I would say baby because all children under six are babies to me), and I was making a card for my mom. I think I saw a cartoon where one of
the characters put on lipstick and kissed a note. I got it into my head that I
wanted to do that and so I went into her dresser and picked out a bright pink
lipstick. I slathered it all over my lips and kissed the card and then I used the
lipstick to write, “I love you, mommy.” My mom got home and I gave her the card
and she kissed me and said thank you and then later added that I should make
her another one, but with crayons. Haha~
7. Who do you want to tag?
I am tagging the lovely Pauline of CatPacking. She was
really excited by this tag and to be honest, I really want to see more of the
stuff she has in her collection. I also want to tag anyone else who wants to
try this out. Write me a comment if you did!
I probably would not have been interested in makeup at all if it were not for my mom being quite good at it. I think that from now on I might indicate if something I’ve reviewed or included in a list has been, “stolen from mom.” I had a lot of fun digging through my makeup and writing this. I have a list of all the products down below. If you are interested, I will tell you as much as I can about any of them even the (sob) discontinued ones.
