MIX AND MATCH

  
 

What do you do with lip gloss that have the wrong color? Return it? Give it away? Or perhaps match it with another color? 

I purchased Two Faced Glamour Gloss (in Champagne Room) a while ago. When I excitedly unwrapped the package and tried it on...YIKES! My lips were gone! Its light color had completely washed out my mouth.


But I loved the gloss's packaging and the way it pumped up my puckers. What to do? What to do?


So, I combined it with a darker gloss I already had, Cover Girl Wetslicks (in wine shine). The two colors mixed perfectly into a pretty yet manageable color — yay! Now I don't feel like I wasted a good gloss.

One's too light, the other's too dark. Mix them up...



Just right!

  5. Or you can do mix n match with lipstick too. You know, like pale lipgloss over too dark lipstick.

  8. I do exactly the same thing! I mix two colours together or put the gloss over a lipstick to soften the colour! You did a great job!

  15. I never knew you could return lip gloss, I once bought a lipstick and the colour was just wrong on my lips but I thought i couldn't return it. I think i might mix the colours together, thanks :)

    Its only pretentious because I saw it from a movie and thought "that is so me I should do it for the sake of doing it" sort of thing haha but i end up enjoyimng it very much :D.

  18. I never tried mixing lipglosses, what a great idea!

    I really want to try a Too Faced gloss but I can't make my mind. I'm looking for a baby pinl lipgloss, a little like MAC Underage.
