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.
Very pretty lip, @alexasteph. It appears almost brick and then a bit berry. Itโs very catching๐
@eshoe Thanks! It is sort of a berry brick, which might be why I find a bit more wearable.
I don't know how this color has flown under the radar for me. It's really pretty. Good job on the blind buy @alexasteph.
@snoflakefaerie Thank you! I think a lot of the Vice shades have flown under the radar for me other than the super popular ones. There are just so many itโs hard to be aware of them all! I am looking forward to this one for fall.
I havenโt seen a bad lip color on you @alexasteph! This one is no exception. ๐
@itsfi Thanks! I was happy how it looks. A lot like Lolita 2 I think, but not matte.
Day 21 Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche and Creme Lip Gloss in Gold
I put on the lipstick but it wasn't crazy enough so I put the gloss on top. Going to an art exhibit, so hopefully I'll fit right in.
Nice fun pop of gold sparkle @snoflakefaerie! Hope you had a good time at the art exhibit.
Thanks @itsfi. The exhibit was pretty cool. It focused on New England cities and towns; my friend had 2 photos in it, so we went to support him, but I enjoyed a lot of the pieces on display. Lots of talented artists!
@snoflakefaerie Oooh what is that light purple shimmer you have on your eyes??
@alexasteph I used Salt Water from the Tarte mermaid palette.
Two-fer-Friday!
Hmmm, not nearly as catchy as I'd hoped ๐
In any case, I have tons of lippies to get through, and my list of ones I want to try "next" keeps getting longer, not shorter. Add that to the fact that I don't wear makeup every day, or even most days, and I'll never get anywhere close to 100 anything soon. Soooo...sorry folks, but that means more no-makeup-days pics are on the horizon, and I'm gonna start off with two of em today ๐
First, Tarte Creamy Lip Paint in Swamp Family. This was LE for the Grav3yard Girl collection, and I was scared of red when I ordered it but was trying to expand my color range. I hated it ๐ I recently purged all of my Tarte liquids, thinking they were all the Quick Dry mattes, but thanks to @BuootifulUnidentified for reminding me there's also a creamy formula, I dug through the ones I had and pulled this back out. I'm actually surprised by how comfy the formula is, and the wear time seems great. This pic is after 3 hours or so of wear, and despite being creamy, the color hadn't budged. I won't run out to buy more because I simply have too many lippies as it is, but this one earns a thumbs up and a spot back in my permanent collection! (And yes, I also like the color now ๐)
My post-shower selection for the day is Lancome L'Absolu Lacquer in Vertige. As dark as this one is, I was worried it was going to be patchy like Not Afraid was, but thankfully it's not; smooth and even application was zero trouble at all. This is a huge step outside of my berry zone, and I have to call it bronze, not brown, for my own personal comfort ๐, but so far it's not terrible. Perhaps it will grow on me ๐
Both of these colors look great on you!! @RGbrown I'm so happy you were able to get re-acquainted with the Creamy mattes โค๏ธ โค๏ธ ๐ L'absolu has gorgeous payoff and Swamp family... where do they come up with these names, lol ๐
@BuootifulUnidentified
Thanks so much! ๐
Both of those colors look good on you @RGbrown. I know we don't need any reason to un-declutter, but I'm happy you realized all the Tartes weren't mattes. Hopefully you get some enjoyment out of them!
@snoflakefaerieUnidentified
Thanks so much! ๐
Considering I've destashed somewhere around 75 lippies lately, I don't feel too bad salvaging one ๐
Wow that lippie looks fabulous on you @RGbrown! ๐โค๏ธ I'm sure you know this, but i LOVE bright colors, so i'm going to have to buy this lippie someday soon! โบ๏ธ๐๐๐
@AnonymousUnidentified
Thanks so much!
Iโm happy that Tarte Swamp Family is back in your permanent collection - it is a beautiful color on you
Completely get that Lancรดme Vertige is a different color for you but Iโm liking it! I feel like itโll all come together and youโll like it more once you find an eye look to complement it.
Last comment - your skin @RGbrown!! Itโs amazing!!! ๐คฉ Amazing!!
@RGbrown Coincidentally, Vertige applies a bit patchy on me but Not Afraid doesnโt at all. And itโs a good color on you!
I donโt usually wear brown lipsticks either, so Iโve also been pushing myself to try more brown shades. I hope this one grows on you. It really does suit you.
