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.
Thanks @WinglessOne. It's sort of comforting to know that I'm not the only one who has trouble with these Tarte lipsticks. I'm not to the point of decluttering them, but I definitely need to remember not to purchase more, regardless of how much I like the color. It's not worth the chance of having another leaking one.
@snoflakefaerie, I love the Tarteist lip paint on you!
@snoflakefaerie Yaassss looks perfect with your hair. Sorry to hear about the leaking oil. What a bummer.
@snoflakefaerie “This color makes me look dead and I love it.” Hahahahaha!! I don’t think it makes you look dead but I appreciate the humor.

Didn't feel like doing much today so I just dabbed on some bare minerals pop of passion lip oil in Plumberry pop. I liked it, it looked like MLBB for a minute. Then, it separated and the color was gone in the middle and the color went into the lines, all within 5 min of putting it on. What a disappointment 😞 Enough said.

UD Vice lipstick in Bad blood. It's a great color but I'm spoiled with the liquid lipsticks and don't have to worry about it going all over the place like with lipsticks. Except for Pmg matte trances :). It was okay but the sides of the mouth bled like crazy/got into the wrinkles at the edges of lipline and got a little clumpy. Not as bad as the Laura gellar one, though. I have one more Vice lipstick and will use a liner to see if it's any better. I was just too lazy today 🙂
@Buootiful Yeah, sometimes Bad Blood likes to remind me how appropriately named it is. A liner should definitely help, and/or a lip primer barrier, which is how I usually get Bad Blood to behave. Hope one of those works for you, because the color’s great on you.
Thanks for the support @WinglessOneU and @sprocketta. I will make this work and might buy the full size later. It is a nice red:)
Sorry you had trouble @Buootiful I can totally relate. It's a bummer when a formula fails you.
Nice color, @Buootiful, but not worth it if it only causes you grief🙄 If it is any consolation, it looks greasy on you!
Hahahahahaha, rofl yes, greasy @eshoe. ❤️ I was slurping beef noodle soup when I was wearing it 🙂 🙂
I am dying inside right now.....you are so gracious, @Buootiful. It does not look greasy at all. Holy cow, I am shirking away with my tail between my legs. So sorry.
AHHHHHHHH I did not mean to type greasy, @Buootiful, it was supposed to say great!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Horrified I am seeing this almost a day later😰so, so sorry!!!!
No worries, it made my day yesterday @eshoeUnidentified😀 It was so funny!
Don't you love auto correct🤣
Yesterday was a mostly no-makeup day to let my eyes recover from Friday’s tightlining + mascara.
Today’s lipstick was Pat McGrath LuxeTrance in McGrath Muse. It’s a warmer, more in-your-face red than my other 2 favorite reds (MAC Red and Urban Decay Bad Blood), though it looks a bit muted in this photo. This is what happens when your light source (the sun) is behind you instead of in front of you. 😄 Anyway, I’ve had this lipstick for maybe a month now and it’s quickly become a favorite.
I can see why it’s becoming a favorite, @WinglessOne- it is a great color on you! Don’t you love how the PM’s wear? They are so smooth and I am impressed with how long they last. Very nice pick😊
Thanks @eshoe! They do wear incredibly well, and they’re very pigmented. You really get your money’s worth with these. 🙂
PMG Muse is so beautiful, @WinglessOne! Everything looks great on you!
@WinglessOne This is a GREAT color! What's your thought on the LuxeTrance vs MatteTrance formula? I'm debating on picking up a luxetrance for the sale but was curious to see how satin/matte in relation to the mattetrance.
Thanks @MissPuff! I prefer the LuxeTrance formula because it’s creamier than MatteTrance. To me, LuxeTrance feels creamier than MAC satins/creams, but not as creamy as a Guerlain. (Very few lipsticks feel as creamy as a Guerlain lipstick.) LuxeTrance has the same great color payoff as MatteTrance.
I do like the MatteTrance formula a lot, mostly because it doesn’t feel nearly as dry as other brands’ matte solids. The MatteTrances feel more like semi-mattes to me. During my Sephora store visit yesterday (to buy the few things I intentionally left off my 20%-off online order), I couldn’t resist buying another MatteTrance (Antidote). I’ll wear that sometime this week.
