Hi BIC!
A lot of us have talked about our huge lipstick collections, and with the passing of another National Lipstick Day, I took stock of mine. I have about 200 lipsticks and glosses and realized, I only wear about 20 of them! So I'm challenging myself (and whoever else wants to join) to use more of them. I'm going to try to wear a different lipstick every day for the next 100 days.
I love this lip balm. Itโs so pretty on. Glossy Glossy. Dr. Jart+ Ceramidinโข Hydrating Ceramide Lip Balm for Dry Lips 0.23 fl oz / 7 mL ๐ I highly recommend it.
@Southernchic99 Welcome! Thanks for sharing. Is there a scent to the balm?
@Southernchic99 I love their skincare so I have a feeelinv Iโd love this. Is it more wax or oil based?
Lipstick 274: Laura Mercier High Vibe Lip Color shade Pop.
Iโm a sucker for fuchsias with a blue or violet flip. One of my favorite lipstick shades ever is Urban Decay Vice (bullet) Firebird, the 3rd lipstick I wore for this challenge. When UD reformulated their Vice bullets, Firebird wasnโt carried over to the new shade lineup and I was crushed. Then I tried the new Vice formulation and was doubly crushed because I donโt like it; even if UD ever brings Firebird back, I wonโt buy it in that formula. (And no, UD Jilted is not a dupe. Iโve done lip swatch comparisons to prove it. ๐ ) Also, Firebird is one of my chronic bleeders: that bullet feathers and bleeds like nobodyโs business. Still, Iโm holding on to my old bullet until Iโve used it up.
Last year, Laura Mercier introduced their High Vibe Lip Color line of slim bullet lipsticks. Shade Pop is an EXACT dupe (color wise) of Firebird! In a super comfy formula! That doesnโt bleed/feather at all! And itโs long wearing with a very graceful weardown and beautiful stain! I was super happy when I found this shade. ๐ I really should ditch Firebird since I have a perfect replacement but, well, nostalgia. I think one day Iโll finally get fed up with the bleedproofing required to wear Firebird, and then Iโll declutter it. Meanwhile, I hope LM doesnโt discontinue the High Vibe lipsticks or shade Pop.
@WinglessOne Aw darn about the bleeding. I have a clear lip liner from UD that I use outside my lip line if I want to wear a bleeding lipstick. I canโt seem to find it to link it but I found a Sephora collection one. It helps keeps the bleeding under control SEPHORA COLLECTION Beauty Amplifier Clear Universal Waterproof Lip Liner 0.04 oz/ 1.2 g
@heartsmyface Yeah, when I first posted Firebird in this thread, I complained about the bleedingโand that was in 2018. ๐ I always use MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Lip Primer 0.05 oz/ 1.7 g plus a colored lip liner to keep Firebird under control. In fact, I always use MACโs lip primer as a clear liner to stop lipsticks from bleeding/feathering, though some lipsticks canโt be controlled.
Iโve tried UDโs Ozone liner/primer but, for me, it doesnโt work nearly as well as MACโs. Somewhere in this thread is my lip swatch photo of Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lipstick shade Iced Out (an even worse bleeder than Firebird) where I compared both primers head to head. MAC won. I know many folks love UDโs though. Iโm glad it works well for you!
@WinglessOne They only help so much but they do stop any serious bleeding.
oh I havenโt used that primer in so long!!! I used to love it and forgot all about it! I used to wear it in its own as well as as a primer! I should see if I can rekindle an old love:)
Thank you @Samtian @caitbird @Sunnysmom @Mellmars1185 @CynthieLu @lmaster !
@WinglessOne wow, that color! ๐ it's really beautiful and vibrant, and it looks fabulous on you! How awesome that you were able to find a dupe for a shade you like so much!
This is really a beauty on you @WinglessOne . The original UD lippies were so great. Sigh. I had some favorites too that Iโve saved and so far theyโre still ok! Probably not for long! ๐ญ
@WinglessOne This shade is gorgeous on you ๐! I am glad you were able to find a dupe for one of your favourite shades!
I totally agree @WinglessOne, How Fantastic is this fuschia! ๐คฉ
That's so beautiful. And it fades without a fuss into a lovely stain? That's sooo good. ๐
You have the most beautiful lips!!! This shade is everything ๐ @WinglessOne
20- CT Pillowtalk. I don't know what the last one I posted was, but here is today's.
