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.
@Buootiful I wouldn’t wear aquamarine either 😜! But I’ve worn weird colors too like olive green, navy, grey and gunmetal! All from MAC !
The sad part is I want it to work but it just cant with my face 😞 I like the gun metal color @keana1
Ugh your 1995 story... I’ve done that 3 or 4 times, @Buootiful 😄 It’s what finally made me carry reading glasses wherever I go. I’m glad you were able to get the right color though, especially after all the effort it took to find it in stock. Looks like it was worth the effort!
And don’t get me started on shelf-clearers. Last time I saw someone put the last 10 or so boxes of a beauty product in their basket, I snarkily asked “so when are you gonna list those on eBay?” Because c’mon man.
On a positive note: Arrowroot looks fantastic on you. I had a serious “WOW” moment when I saw those first 2 photos. Orange suits you so well!
Really, 3 times it happened? It sucls getttimg old 😞 @WinglessOneUnidentified
Thanks for the compliment, I wish the color was more like the color shown in the bottle. It went on way lighter than what I expected but it's a very interesting color 🙂
Stila Patina today. I really love the intention of this shade, but like most “dusty” shades it pulls super dark on me on. It’s a comfortable formula, looks dryer than it is. I like Patina on others better than I like it on me. I guess there’s a reason I rarely reach for it.
@alexasteph You wear Patina so well! I think it looks terrific on you, perfect for fall ! You should use it more often!
@keana1 Thank you. I might give it one more shot, it does look a lot better in the back half of wear. We’ll see. I have so many lipsticks it’s not really worth keeping one I’m not excited about. That‘s sorta wha this challenge is all about!
It still looks great @alexasteph,you should keep it 🙂 Maybe add more lip balm underneath to change the look a little?
@Buootiful Eh, doesn’t do much. I actually like it better after a few hours and I ”rehydrate” it with balm if that makes sense. Softens the look a bit. I dunno, I can’t really explain it. I don’t know if I wanna keep something I need to wait 6 hours before I like it haha.
@DaneeBT Oh thank you! I think just have other shades I prefer over Patina haha.
I think day 24 and 25. Didn't want to do makeup Saturday and Monday. First pic is NYX Liquid Suede in Tea & Cookies. Love the name but it pilled up after I had a snack. First time with this brand. Color was pretty but it didn't wear well. Next pic is a lippie I adore. Huda Lip Strobe in Shameless. It was in a set with a matte and the two look great together. Decided to try this one alone and like it a lot.
The Huda lip strobe in Shameless is sooo pretty on you! The pink shimmer is gorgeous and you look so happy! Love it 💕
@keana1 That one really puts a smile on my face. Thanks for the kind words!
Is that shimmer on the HUda one? I'll keep saying it but anything with shimmer or metal sheen to it looks fantastic on you! @sprocketta Cant wait to see a full lip strobe look on you 🙂
@Buootiful I wasn't sure if it would fit the challenge to wear each separately and then together another day. I guess I can bend the rules a teensy bit. The two colors are really gorgeous together. I think I tucked the matte away with the rest of lipsticks I've already worn but I'll dig it out. And thanks! You are too sweet.
Shameless looks great by itself, @sprocketta!
Nyx Liquid Suede... that’s another line of lipsticks that apparently work for some people, which always surprises me. I’ve tried 2 of them. One is the blue in my current profile photo and it’s one of the worst liquid lipstick formulas I’ve ever worn, in every way except color. Sorry a Liquid Suede didn’t work for you, either.
@WinglessOne I know some people who like NYX and I feel like I've been kind of snobby with drugstore makeup, so I wanted to give it a shot. I've got another NYX in a different formula to test. And thank you, shameless rocks my socks.
@sprocketta I hope the other NYX lipstick works out. I seem to have bad luck with NYX in general: nothing I’ve tried (lipstick, lip liner, eyeshadow, etc.) has worked well for me. But many people swear by NYX, so it’s probably just me.
I still have some Wet N Wild lipsticks in declutter limbo: I need to see if they’re too drying compared to similar shades by other brands. I already know I’m ditching Sugar Plum Fairy simply because I don’t need a MAC Rebel dupe. (It’s a great dupe though—one I always recommend whenever someone wants Rebel but doesn’t wanna pay MAC prices.)
@WinglessOne I don't think I've tried any Wet N Wild products. I feel like I saw something somewhere online about their highlighters being decent, but I'm not into those. I'll be curious to see how those tests go.
