FREEBIE FRIDAY:  MORE MAKEUP

FREEBIE FRIDAY: MORE MAKEUP

You should look expensive. Your makeup doesn't have to be.


Here's a little secret:

I read your emails to NYLON.  All of them.  And while I can't get you a prom date (sorry Jesse), tell you Jack White's phone number (nice try, Allie), or even put Rihanna on the cover (Alicia and Maxine, believe me, I've tried), I can empathize with one recurring request:

You want more cool stuff, and you want it to be cheaper.

That's why this edition of Freebie Friday features makeup from E.L.F. (that's Eyes - Lips - Face for you novices).  We're giving a whole bag of it away, but even if you don't win, you sort of do -

Nothing in this makeup line is over $3, everything in this makeup line is environmentally okay, and yes, it actually works (I'm wearing their Lilac Petal shimmer right now).

To win it, tell me what you think a new makeup shade should be named:

freebiefriday@gmail.com

And for the rest of you, check out their website - it's cheap enough to feel like it's free.  Almost.

I definitely think there should be some kind of makeup called cherub. Everyone wants the face of an angel and a cherub is just that, plus some cuteness too. yayy free makeup =D

For all the world of warcraft playing women out there I would say maybe Night Elf Blue. For an eyeshadow.

I think a new shade should be called lilac lace for a shimmery purple or paisely pink for a orange/pink medium :)

Camille

"smokey 20's", referring to the 1920's era and the whole musical atmosphere.

In my opinion I believe make up should be named "organized chaos" because its chaos before you put it on but by the time you have it on it's organized and enhances your beauty.

purple- catstrophe. gold- chaotic heaven. gray- disaster. and then red- feral vamp. black- midnight wiccan. cream- angel's voice.

I think the name of the new makeup should be called Static.Haze because it sounds fun and it also sounds really rock glam and i think people would love it
