It’s funny to me when all ’90s makeup gets lumped together into a single category. Like, for lips it’s the ’90s matte lip look, and trust your homegirl when she says that everyone did not wear matte lips throughout the entire decade of the ’90s.
(Well, a lot of people did, but not everyone.)
You also had different sub-eras, like the late ’90s — circa 1997-1998 — when everybody (at least everybody I knew who wore makeup) wore dark, unblended lip liner, frosty silver lipstick and clear lipgloss.
Then you had 1999, 2000 and 2001, when it was all about glossy, frosty lips, which reminds me…remember when everyone and their mother was carrying a tube MAC Oystergirl?
Yeah, you know what’s up. 😉
I’m getting that ’99 vibe so hard from these non-sticky MAC Grand Illusion Glossy Liquid Lip Colour lipglosses, which are $21 each and hella pigmented.
Ah, they’re taking me back…especially It’s Just Candy! It reminds me of my early 20s when I rocked MAC Lychee Luxe to da club.
Da club… Oh, my gosh, I feel so ridiculous saying that. Like, when do you get to that point where you just sound silly using slang? It doesn’t happen overnight… It’s a slow burn kinda thing, ha ha ha.

I love how your posts always have these little ’stories’! Do you have any tips for writing them? I’m starting a blog soon but I don’t have this approach on my posts because I haven’t gotten the ideas so far 😀 And any other tips are welcome as well, I really enjoy your blog posts every time! ❤️
& Please pet Tabs for me! Such a cutie! ?
I think if you grew up in a decade, you remember so many different things about it that the attempt to say: THAT was 90s makeup seems a bit ridiculous. I remember the dark lipstick/ frosty gloss trend so well, I can´t believe it was a thing of beauty for me back then.
Nice shirt! Ooo Goldieloxxed is my favorite!
That’s a lot of frost! 🙂 I was definitely stuck in the darker lip era of the 90s. OK, I’m not fooling anyone with “was”. HAHA! I was never good enough with a liner to do the dark liner with frosty fill, though. Thank goodness because that would have been a horrible look for me.
The boys regularly remind me that I’m far to old and uncool to use their slang.
