Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Hey christine, back in “the old days aka 80’s” the only time to buy black lipstick and nail polish for us young gothlings was Halloween and we bought whatever the cheapest Halloween stuff was available and stocked up enough to last the whole year. Ahh, those were the days, hahaha!

I don’t actually remember who made it. It’s wasn’t wet n wild, but it was similar. I think at the time it cost me something like $2-3.

I have also worn black lipstick from wet n wild, but I don’t consider that too crazy (so many people wear it).

Craziest Lip Colour You’ve Worn: the blue lipstick from MAC, the YSL black lisgloss, bright orange from MakeUp Forever, Burnin’ (a blackish purple from MAC), and the list goes on…
What do you do with unwanted beauty products: Like everyone else said; try to make them work for me by finding newer purposes for them and, if that doesn’t work, throw away for sanitary reasons.
Best Place for Beauty deals;
Don’t know any and not sure I believe in “deals”. I believe in “you get what you pay for” though.:-)

Craziest Lip Color: MAC Spring Bean (I think that was the name–it was a green)lipglass and Clinique Vivid Berry–a super-bright fuschia with glitter. I threw out my Spring Bean and now I really miss it!

Unwanted products: Usually give them to my mom or a friend, and throw the rest out.

Best place for beauty deals: beautycrunch.com –pretty reasonable offers on Stila, Duwop, and a few other brands. Otherwise, it is usually Sephora and Nordstrom (we get points for using their card) for me!

I have really rosy cheeks, and the green tamed some of the red in a lipstick I loved. I thought I lost the lipstick, so I got rid of Spring Bean. I just found the lipstick recently, and I’ve been wanting to try Spring Bean on other things. I may have to repurchase, if I can find it!

—Oh man, I would have to say black but even that looked good when compared to this crazy pink/fushia l/s with blue undertones, it was so bright I don’t know what I was thinking. It looked worse than one of the pinks l/s I used on my first looks I posted on the forum (I look at it now and don’t like it…lol)
—Give them to my mom or sister in law. Their skin colors is diff. from mine.
—Beauty deals? Walgreens BOGO sales and Walmart always has amazing prices.
