im always buying pink lipglasses , and brown eyeshadows
It changes after a while, but overall I’d say that my weaknesses are neutral eyeshadows and foundations.
pink and lime green pigments and eyeshadows! and any lip products with glitter or anything w some sort of holographic effect
Matte pink lipsticks! haha
YES!!! Purple eyeshadows and eyeliners…i love them! I just cant get enough of them! And neutral lip products….but for fall I am venturing out to the wild side *wink wink* hehehe and I will be purchasing my first bold lipstick =)
neutrals.. golds/browns/champagnes.
baby pink gloss/lip sticks.
diddo! i also like coral, peach glosses and lipsticks
coral blushes!
coral lippies!
really…i go crazy when i see another one, it’s like i have a weird desire to own all the coral blushes in the world! or anything coral at all!
Sounds like someone I know…the woman whom I see in the mirror 🙂
My weakness are pink blushes and taupe eyeshadows…..:)
palettes and lipglosses 🙁 mostly lipglosses.
purple, blue and black eyeshadow
pink and black lipgloss
nude lipstick
I’m always buying black eyeshadows and nude lipsticks!!! Those are my fave<33333
Violet eyeshadows and pink lipsticks and lipglosses.
– “bruise/dirty” colored eyeshadows
– purple nail polishes, i think 50% of my nail polish collection is purple
– midtone pink/tan lipsticks (don’t really think nudes or bolds look good on me)
Purple eyeshadows!!! I cant resist.
I can’t stop buying MAC eyeshadows, as I’ve gone a little palette obsessed. And Dermalogica skincare.
I’m alaways buying nude lippies and pink…that’s way too much.
pink lipsticks…i think i own every pink lipstick mac has,lol
any time i lay eyes on taupe eyeshadows. IT IS MINE!
I used to buy every shade of blue & teal eye shadow I could find. But unfortunately they’re really unflattering on me lol so once I learned that I stopped.
Now I buy lipsticks like it’s nobody’s business. Mostly pinks and nude’s.
anything duochrome (as long as the colors are pretty!) or holographic
pink and purple eyeshadows and pink lipglosses
Coral lip products for sure! I just think they look good on me…also green eyeshadows as I have not found my HG. So basically the same as you : )
Blue eyeshadow, deep blue especially!! black eyeliner and lipgloss usually light pink!
I’m always buying red lipstick, black, teal, and red eyeshadow and pigments and purple and red lipstains.
For me it would have to be lots of neuteral eyeshadows and hot pink lipsticks 🙂
i am ALWAYS buying different shades of pink and purple nail polishes. i cant get enough
Purple EVERYTHING! lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipgloss, blush (if they made it)
Coral lip colour!
Brown and pink, for sure. I also manage to get a lot of lippies that are identical to my natural lip color! lol. You’d think I’d have learned by now!
Brown shadows and coral lip products.
pigmented nude lipsticks! i love mac peachstock atm
chapsticks 🙂 right now im loving Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
plum eyeshadows
aaaahhhhh!!! no more orangy peaches i keep telling myself…
I have to say that taupes, greys, and nudes are my weaknesses. I have a lot of taupe,gold, mint, grey and nude polishes, and if I see a new polish(in that range of colors) that I have not tried, I will be inclined to get it, even if the difference is not that much. With lipsticks I usually go with colors in the nude family, but your lip posts for the seasons definitely help me break that habit.
Oh Yeah!
I Can’t resist a new taupe eyeshadow…
And I Check any kind of purple and green 🙂
Nude Lipsticks and Nail Polishes. Champagne Eyeshadows and Lipsticks. For non-makeup related items I collect Leopard print handbags and shoes.
Peach and coral lip glosses, lipsticks & blushes, and brown, teal, gold & champagne eye shadows. I also have a lot of different black, brown, purple & olive green eyeliners.
Deep Truth kind of shades, Freshwater dupes, shimmermoss dupes and bronze dupes… I have so many.. and for lip products it’s always milky pink glosses with silver sparkle… 🙁
browns (paintpots, shadesticks, eyeshadows, etc.) and pewter/taupe colors as well. I just love natural smokey eyes!
I don’t buy as much as I just seem to keep seeking these colours out – and then I remind myself I don’t need that many of them (colour products).
I’m always looking at foundations, blue eyeshadows, red lipsticks and bright pink blushes…
I think I can see patterns in my buying of:
– blue based fushia and red lipsticks
– taupe, pewter and bronze eyeshadows
– peach blushes
I am fun with mascaras and eyebrow pencils!
mauve lipsticks and taupe eyeshadows!
Red lipsticks. Teal/sea green eyeshadow.
Purple eye shadows! I love purple, I’m an artist, and a makeup fanatic, which means I can *totally* tell that there are differences between each and every purple shadow!! …even if other people can’t! LOL! *cringe*
Chanel. Sorry. Can’t skip the counter. Disregard colour or product. I HAVE TO CHECK EVERY TIME.
anything duo-chrome, coral, bright, or with unusual packaging.
blue-green eyeshadows….I can’t resist 😉
purple and green eye shadow
black eyeliner, liquid and in pencil
dark nail polish, black, wine red, dark green, dark gray … really anything that looks black or almost black from afar
Blue eyeshadows, liners and cream eyeshadows & for the lips I’m addicted to vibrant ‘blue’ reds ! 😀
Taupe and purple eye shadows, pink lip glosses, blackened nail polishes.
purple eyeshadows and red lippies and lip glosses
Purple everything! I have however made an effort to stop purchasing purple products in the hopes of finding new colours that work well with my skin tone.
Red nailpolishes!!!
And coral lipsticks:-)
Red lipsticks, coral lipsticks and glosses, and taupe eye shadows are my weaknesses. Of those three, I’m better able to control myself when it comes to corals and taupes. As for red lipstick, there’s no stopping me!
coral lipglosses and lipsticks ! I can’t get enough coral lip stuff. Plus I’m still looking for THE perfect coral.
I’m always buying some sort of darker pink lipsticks and glosses. Can’t control myself! lol Purple nail polishes too.
I can’t walk away from purple eye items and pink lip products. I’m sooo weaaak…
Peach and coral lipsticks
Neutral and light blue eyeshadows
I can never get enough of pink and coral lipsticks!
Purplish-mauve-taupe eyeshadows. That has to be my weakness. 🙂
Purple eyeshadows and pencil eyeliners!
-Bronzers that are too orange for me 😀 lol I end up using them like a “dark peach” blush mixed with other colours !
-Pink nude lipsticks
-Pink lip glosses
Purples, blacks, whites, silvers, greys, are my weakness.
Purple or red, lipsticks. too
For me it’s purple eyeshadows… although I probably have (almost) every possible shade of this colour, it’s always the first colour my eyes are drawn to when I enter a cosmetics store!
yeah taupe eyeshadows, they are great for cool toned skintones. also nail polish in all colours!
Lipglosses…. And then I hardly ever use them because I don’t like the feel of it on my lips!!
And every kind of new mascara that gets advertized. And more often than not I am totally disappointed with them and they just sit there in my make-up boxes. 🙂
Corals! I love coral shades! 😀
I have this thing for red lipstick…
I’m always on a quest to find the Perfect Red 🙂
pink lipsticks!
I am always buying purple eyeshadow.
i love baby pink lipsticks, black/grey/gold eyeshadows, rosy blushes!!!
I always gravitate towards nude beige, peach and coral shades when it comes to lipstick and peach and coral shades on blushes, while I like blue-ish, teal and green when it comes to eyeshadows.
Every variation of pink or nauve for lips and taupe or grey for eyes.
Coral blush, Coral lipstick. Those two are so bad that I’m prohibiting myself from buying any from Fabulous Felines (Need the liners more).
As for eyeshadow I looooooooove bright turquoise and lime green colors!!!
Coral and purple (+ lavender) lippies and green eyeshadows, although not clean, pure greens.
i’m into corals… never interested me at first but now i’m in love….
so some of the corals that i now love are MAC Crosswires, fold and tuck, jazzed…..
Shades of pink – mauve- red lipstick.
mac LE blushes and bronzers (hello to the beach, lilyland and spring color forecast) and any skin hilighter (high beam, the new bobbi brown one, and im lemming the new benefit one meant to come out)
Corals and pink lipsticks; coral, pink and peach blushes; neutral eyeshadows.
Brown toned eyeshadows, and pink & nude lipsticks
pale nude-pink lipsticks
dark brown matte/nearly-matte eyeshadows
dark brown eyeliners
My excuse is that I’m trying to “perfect” the brown eye/pale lip look I wear almost every day.
Peachy/orange/corals for lipstick/gloss. Peachy/orange colors for blushes. For eyeshadows, its greens and most recently bronze/golds
I’m always drawn to cool pink lipsticks and lipglosses. They don’t look so great on me, but somehow I keep buying them… :O
Bright pink lipsticks! My weakness 🙂
Purple eyeshadows! I’m afraid to count how many I have, lol.
coral lipsticks and bold blushes like bright pink, red or orange, even tho i hardly wear blush, lol
bright pink lips and blushes
I buy lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm etc. like crazy. It’s always usually either some variation of pink or rose/mauve. =_= I need help.
neutral and purple eyeshadows are an addiction.
Anything coral! It’s kinda funny…I never really understood what a coral specifically was until I started reading this blog, and now I have coral overload. =)
grey family eyeshadows, pink tone lipstick and peachy blush
I’ve recently stopped doing this but I use to be obsessed with buying turquoise or teal eye shadows.
Fuchsia, hot pink, pinky-coral, neon eyecolors. I am an absolute SUCKER for bold lip colors, worn on the eyes.
L/S: Nudes, Baby Pinks and Bold Reds
E/S: Aqua! I’m obsessed with any shade of minty blue shadow!
OMG Nude pink lippies. And Corals too.. I can’t help it
Green eyeshadows and eyeliners – I have green eyes and like to use green products to compliment them.
coral lipglosses & gold-red eyeshadows. Cannot resist.
champagne-y eyeshadows…
Pretty much the same as you, Christine: coral lipsticks (for summer), green and gold eye colors. I also collect shadows in: browns, oranges, corals, yellow, copper and bronze. I guess coral is my “thing” because I always get lipsticks, nail colors, blush and shadow in that family. Orange and brown lipsticks, too.
i buy a lot of coral everything, and a lot of gold eyeshadow.
blue eyeshadow, I buy it as if i were mimi from drew carey
Every neutral e/s by mac no matter the finish… Any MLBB lipstick, and all the red nail polishes… Especially the bright tomato-y colored ones! Glad I’m
not the only sick/dedicated one!
I’m always buying gold/nude/brown/bronze, anything neutral!
I buy eyeshadow more than anything else, and I’m instantly attracted to anything remotely teal or turquoise. More broadly, most single shadows I buy are somewhere on the color spectrum from blue to green. Lately I’ve been trying to collect more pinks, though.
Plum lip colours–I can’t seem to get enough of them!
Oh, and also any & every green eyeliner and green/blue/purple nail polishes!
Teal anything! Every time I go shopping I always pick up any sort of teal or aqua or turquoise liner/shadow before realizing that I should probably fill my kit with other colors first. The same with nail polishes! Although now I’m working on building the purple in my nail polish collection. Here we go!
Exactly. I’m obsessed with Pewter eyeshadows and i have so many taupes and browns!
Purple eyeshadows, hot pink lipglosses and lipsticks and peachy coral lippies as well.
Always red nailpolishes, and purplish-mauve-taupe eyeshadows, and I can’t get enough of neutral e/s like in Naked UD palette 🙂
Pretty much anything purple. Purple eye shashadow, nail polish, pretty much anything.
i’m always drawn to purple eyeshdaows and pink lipsticks.
Neutrals shade, any shade of browns I can found, I also love champange color, they are my all time fav. Yesterday,I just bought from the Balm, luscious lani and mischievous Marissa, so happy
Purple lipstick. Purple eyeshadow, too, but mostly purple lipstick.
I also have more matte black eyeshadow than I can ever use, but that can be partially attributed to almost every Kat Von D palette having a ‘Lucifer’.
I had a teal eyeshadow thing when I first got into makeup, so I have about 6 different brands and multiple finishes in teal. These days, I gravitate toward blue-pink lipsticks.
Anything purple!And i’m not talking only about the product but about the packaging too!
Taupe eyeshadows!
I am CONSTANTLY buying nude lip glosses. I don’t know what it is, I’m just always looking for the perfect nude lip.
For eyeshadows, I’m obsessed with purples and blues. OBSESSED, I tell you.
I always buy red lipsticks and gloss when I don’t need any! Also hot pink gloss and foundation~can never find the perfect one. Oh and nail polish too, probably the thing I buy the most.
Bright pink lippies and yellow and orange eyeshadows.
Purple e/s and gold pigments. I Need to stopr
Red lipsticks. It’s been my signature look for years and there are so many variations! Always makes me feel put together.
grey and taupe eyeshadows and nude lipsticks!
i have a HUGE weakness for taupe eyeshadows and matte pink lipsticks =)
I think I’ve finally got a handle on buying mid-tone pinks which disappear on my pigmented lips! Live and learn.
palettes,nude lipsticks and purple eyeshadow. Im more obsessed with buying palettes though lol
i’m always buying different shades of pink lipstick! even when i try to choose another color, i always end up buying pinks!
Brown and purple eyeshadows. Blushes can be a weakness but now they seem to look alike on my skin.
Taupe or brown nail polish! Obsessed!
Eyeliners & neutral shimmery eyeshadows! I’m crazy for them 🙁
Peachy pink or coral lip products. I can’t get enough of them!
lilac shadows. must have 50 of them. find that a lilac is flattering to a hazel eye…..
Chanel Glossimers. I don’t know why I’m so addicted to them. The MA’s at the Chanel counter call me their gloss diva.
I’m a sucker for red, non-matte lipsticks and bordeaux/plum eyeliner
I am always buying baby pink lipsticks/lip glosses, and taupe & teal eye shadows.
Nude lipsticks or nude glosses
Taupe eyeshadow
Pinkish Beige & shimmery beige eyeshadow
Shimmery nude and pink glosses
Any variation of grey nailpolish (flat grey, gunmetal, dirty grey, beige-grey, brown-grey, etc., etc., etc.)
This is easy: peach/coral lip colors, and brown eye shadows in just about any shade. It’s an illness, but I don’t want to be cured.
Palettes! I don’t know why but for some reason I like eyeshadow palettes
neutral eyeshadows… if that counts xD
light pink and peach and champagne eyeshadows, black mascaras, pink glosses and hot pink lipstick!
I love neutral eyeshadows, bright eyeliners, mascaras and concealers.
Every possible shade of lavender and blue nail polish must be mine!
Neutral eyeshadows. ESPECIALLY taupes. I love taupes…..
And sheer red glosses or lipsticks. I love them. Not too much change to my natural lip color (I’m super-pale and have really rosy cheeks and lips) but adds a bit of shine….
Bronzy-gold eyeshadows and neutral-pinky lipglosses and lipsticks.
I go through cycles of buying the same type thing, but recently it’s been green eyeshadows.
ohh I love green but I’m not brave enough to put it on my eyes!
Pink lipstick, lipgloss, and blush. I also
Purple eye products and nude and pink lippies. I’m such an addict.
Purples!
Eyeliners
I always seem to buy shimmering gold & matte white eyeshadow & any high gloss soft pink lipgloss.
Yes! I always always and always seem to never has enough of soft pink lipgloss, i try every soft pink lipgloss from any brand! Teeheee!
