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.
Oh no, @Buootiful, sorry you had a reaction to it. 😞 But at least now you know you can wear purple! I’m trying not to push people into buying more lipstick... trying to curb my addict ways, haha... but there are a few reeeeally nice looking PMG MatteTrance purples... just sayin’. 🙂
OMG like the Antidote one, haha. I already had that on my love list. THis sale was supposed to be the major one. I already have 3 lipsticks lined up for Nov 🙂
@WinglessOne This looks great on you and I've heard them talked up, but when I went in the store it wasn't nearly as opaque as I've seen on people. I guess I didn't build up enough layers. I'm thinking I should get over it and just buy one.
Thanks everyone!
@sprocketta These are designed to be buildable. 1 coat is supposed to give a sheer finish, 2 coats should be kinda medium coverage, and 3 coats should be opaque. I do find the lighter and/or paler colors sometimes need a 4th coat to become opaque. But I haven’t had that problem with any of the deeper or bolder colors I’ve tried. I hope you find one that works for you! Not to pressure you into buying one or anything... geez, such a lipstick addict thing to do. 😂 “C’mon, they’re great, just buy one, all the cool kids are doing it!”
@Anonymous Strangely enough, the more coats I apply, the less sticky these glosses are. At a single coat, they’re moderately sticky. But at 3 coats they’re just barely sticky, especially compared to other glosses. I can’t guarantee they’re hair proof, but my hair hasn’t gotten stuck on one of these glosses yet—and anyone with coily kinky hair knows how it likes to grab onto whatever the wind blows it at, and how frustrating it sometimes is to unstick/untangle. I mean, my hair gets stuck on mascara for cryin’ out loud. 😂
A non-sticky gloss? I am intrigued! I usually find my long hair ends up in the glosses so I tend to stay away from them, but I might have to give this a go.
@sprockettaI know you love glosses, so I wanted to make sure you saw this post. 🙂
That is seriously high shine @WinglessOne. Looks great!
Thanks @snoflakefaerie @tsavorite and @jozkid!
I used to not like super glossy lipsticks, mostly because glosses feel too sticky and have such short wear times. But the Lancôme glosses changed my mind this year. Now I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to buy the shade Be Happy (an even warmer red) since I have this shade instead. I’m trying very hard!

I didn't know what I was getting when I ordered the promo mini from Sephora...there weren't any other promos I wanted more, and figured "just another gloss" would be fine, whatever. I was stunned when I tried it!
Not to enable (hahahaha), but I have long given up hope on resisting any of the shades I like in this line, no matter how similar they may be to each other. You know how magic they are! 😍 I'll need a stellar promo/sale to get the one Lancome direct exclusive, but slowly and surely I'll be collecting the rest elsewhere 😁
@RGbrown Right? I used some Lancôme rewards points to get my first one and didn’t expect much. A day or 2 later, I bought more shades. Luckily, some of the lightest palest shades don’t work well on me, so at least I can’t buy ALL of them. But if Lancôme keeps releasing deeper, richer, or bolder colors, I’m in trouble!
It does make me feel better to know I’m not the only one addicted to these. 🙂 Lancôme is seriously killin’ it with these glosses. And I think Ulta has Be Happy back in stock now, so it’s a good day to use some Ulta points. 😄

I still can't get Not Afraid to do anything other than look like a patchy mess on me (but I'm gonna keep trying...I love the color too much to give up quite yet, though I'm baffled because I have zero issues with the rest of mine), but considering how *stellar* my other 7 are, I'm not letting that one deter me from more. I'll be passing up pretty much all of the lighter ones too, but all the bolds/brights will be mine one of these days 😁 I could almost envision a time where I clear out 90%+ of my stash and live contentedly off these for most everything...justifying buying more of them has been part of the impetus for my declutter.
I'm holding out for the next 20%...that's my fave time to spend points 😎
Brave Lips is a lovely shade on you!
I hear so much praise for the Lancome L'Absolu Glosses and Laquers! 🙂
Wow! 🙂 This bright red gloss is gorgeous on you @WinglessOne! LOVE!!! ❤️
Stunning color! It's on my wish list too 😄
Buxom Dolly Lip Polish. Meh. It's not patchy like it looks that's just a glare.
@Samtian I feel “meh” about Buxom too. I used to like it, but not so much any more.
@alexasteph Same here. I like the White Russian stuff but that's it.
Day 11: Bite Amuse Bouche in Kale. This is my first Bite lipstick and of course I chose the most not-red/pink/berry shade available. This is also the only green lipstick I own, not counting any of my greener-leaning teals. It’s exactly the color of dinosaur kale and I love it, even though it bleeds around the 2 hour mark. I’ll have to use a primer with it next time to prevent that. But it’s definitely a keeper.
Yesterday was a no-makeup day. But here’s a bonus Wednesday night photo:
"and of course I chose the most not-red/pink/berry shade available" lol! I love that about you and how you rock these unusual shades. Don't ever stop, my friend! 🙂
I'm going to just keep repeating myself, but you look so great in this color. I'm so jealous of your ability to pull off non-standard colors so beautifully @WinglessOne.
