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.
Day 8 for me is by far my least favorite. It's called "Statement Nude" from L'oreal and thankfully it was a free sample given to me since Ulta was out of the one I was supposed to get (Dolly from Buxom). I couldn't quite put a finger on why I didn't like it but @sprocketta figured it out for me ("your lips look like they've been stung by a bee"). She's right I think. After a couple hours it stained decently enough. Planning on giving this away stat.
Yeah, @sprocketta is spot on as to your lips looking bee stung. It is a great understated dark color on you. Definitely look for a substitute in the Color pop form like everyone says. Color pop is not for me but it definitely outperforms the drugstore brands and has a decent price point 🙂 @Anonymous
Well that's good it was free @Anonymous! 😊 at least you didnt have to spend any money on it. 💖 and i still think it looks pretty on you 💕 just too bad about it staining
Oh that is so pretty @Anonymous
As for the Buxom product, Dolly is a beautiful shade. I put some on in the store, decided to buy it and returned it within minutes. Great color, but man I hate the Buxom plumping tingling. Before I got out of that mall I had to turn right back around and scrub it off my lips. If you don't mind that, you should give that lippie a try.
I am pretty sure I have the Dolly shade somewhere, but I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get more of it; I remember liking it. I don't recall if it was tingly or lip plumping though. I'll have to find it and try it soon.
@Anonymous At least the color is nice! Do you like the shade? You could find a similar shade in a higher quality product probably. I have a hard time with drug store brands and lipsticks. NYX is really the only brand I’ve found that works, but I know a lot of people like Maybelline.
I don't mind the shade. I am not sure it's one of my favorites, but perhaps I would like it more in a different brand/formula. I like NYX as well! I haven't tried much in the way of other drug store brands to make a fair assessment, but so far it's just been meh.
@Anonymous Oh ColourPop is good too! I’ve been meaning to pick up more I just haven’t. Availability is an issue for me, even though Ulta carries part of their collection it’s just so huge I don’t feel like they have enough to make me happy haha. Since their stuff is so affordable you has to order a ton to hit that free shipping threshold and I certainly don’t need that much. I just wanna pick up two or three! I think they run free shipping promos on occasion though.
I've heard of that brand but I haven't tried any of their lip items. My friend gave me some other stuff to try from them though, a blush and something else. I think my ulta store must be too small to carry that line cause I don't think I've ever seen it in the one by me. 😞
@Anonymous Yeah, not all Ulta’s carry it. You can look online and see which ones carry it.
@alexasteph I work right by a big Ulta and if the Colour Pop good lipsticks at a lower price point, I'll have to stop in over there. I'm guessing that would have a decent selection since it's a larger and fancier store.
@sprocketta I have 5 Ulta’s near me and I stop in 3 semi-regularly. Their CP collections are not bad, but there is always more online. If you don’t have any though, there will be enough to get you started. I love love love their Super Shock Shadows, I’ve picked up a couple from Ulta but they have like 100 shades from direct. There are a couple liquid lipstick sets and shadow sets, plus some pressed shadow palettes, at Ulta so there defintely is enough product available to try the brand.
Thanks! You are making me reconsider my giving it away, or at least I will hold on long enough to find a duplicate one in a different brand.
Day 21. Huda matte liquid lipstick in Trophy Wife. Part of a great set with one of their lip strobes. I'm saving that for another day.
It's a great pink on you! ❤️ @sprocketta Are you going to do a full lip strobe? I was drawn to the packaging when it was laid right at the counter at a Sijcp but I had to resist to wait for the next sale.
Oh this is the perfect pink for you @sprocketta. Love it!
@sprocketta Loving this pink on you. I like a good pop on the lip with black frames. As a fellow glasses wearer, I am digging the balance!
Thanks @NotCrocker It's a really nice matte that I actually don't mind. Wears well. And all glasses wearers unite!
Day... whatever. 20? Meh. Okay, take is Bite Liquified Lipstick in Chutney. It’s described as a “rich mauve” and I have a thing for mauves, espescially darker ones so yeah no surprises here haha
