100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

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.

I LOVE that Lipstick! It's a couple of steps above "natural looking".

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

NARS Get It On is a beautiful on you @Krysa13! Your eyes, lip and necklace all complement each other so nicely. โค๏ธ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@Krysa13 The lipstick looks nice, but I'm more focused on your necklace.  You always have the best accessories.

RE: Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

That is a gorgeous shade on you @Krysa13 !

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@Krysa13,

"Get It On" is beautiful, but I LOVE your beads!  What are they called?  ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks, @tsavorite! This is unakite, it's a necklace that I made myself ๐Ÿ™‚

Day 35: ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Lychee

Wear test at the laundromat. I like the color a lot, but it's feeling chunky between my lips. I used Ulta lip oil under it, so it doesn't feel as horrible as Be-Dazzled. I'm still not sold on it.

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Sorry that the lippie isnโ€™t a keeper for you, because this color looks amazing on you @snoflakefaerie!  I hope you can find a dupe for it because you + this color has got to happen again! ๐Ÿ’œ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

I love the color on you @snoflakefaerie!  Sorry itโ€™s not feeling comfortable, though. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Iโ€™ve missed a couple of days while recovering from an allergy attack. Today I made up for lost time by doing some wear tests. I kinda look like I havenโ€™t slept enough because, um, I havenโ€™t. ๐Ÿ˜„ 

 

Wet n Wild MegaLast in Ravinโ€™ Raisin

This is an old tube. I tried it on today to decide if I want to buy a replacement. Itโ€™s also the cheapest lipstick in my collection, excluding freebies. Iโ€™m pretty sure Iโ€™ll buy another Ravinโ€™ Raisin. 
 
Bonus: MAC Lustre in Spice It Up!

Another old tube on my โ€œreplace or notโ€ list. This tubeโ€™s old enough that itโ€™s losing pigmentation: oils have begun to seep out, so thatโ€™s mostly what wound up on my lips. A decade ago, I wore this shade a lot. Almost as often as Rebel. Not sure why it fell out of rotation. Itโ€™s a very standard โ€œconventionalโ€ brick red, which isnโ€™t a bad thing, and itโ€™d be more pigmented than this if Iโ€™d used a new tube. Hmm. 
Another bonus: Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lip in Iced Out
 
Spoiler

I finally did my latest lip primer test: Bite Line & Define on one side of my lips vs. MAC Prep + Prime Lip on the other side. I didnโ€™t use a lip liner, just the primers. Iced Out will absolutely bleed/feather a lot if I donโ€™t use a primer and lip liner with itโ€”and even then, it still feathers a bit. Thatโ€™s why I do always use it to test lip primers.

Hereโ€™s a closeup, taken right after application:

And hereโ€™s another closeup, taken an hour and 15 minutes later: 

YIKES.YIKES.

I didnโ€™t eat or drink anything during that 1:15. Thatโ€™s just how Iced Out wears down, with no encouragement. The MAC primer definitely beat the Bite primer in this test: not only did an overlined barrier of the Bite primer fail to stop Iced Outโ€™s need to bleed, it also didnโ€™t keep the color on my bottom lip quite as well as the MAC primer. Notice thereโ€™s also some feathering on the MAC side. Like I said, nothing completely contains Iced Out. Itโ€™s a real problem child. 
Looking at these photos, Iโ€™m glad my eyes and nose arenโ€™t red anymore. Yesterday I looked like Iโ€™d been crying and blowing my nose for 2 weeks straight. Hooray for allergies! 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne I commented about Iced Out but totally did not see Spice It Up.  This looks fab on you.

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne Spice It Up! is so amazing on you! You rock the โ€œunconventionalโ€ colors so well, but โ€œregularโ€ ones are fantastic too! Deffo get a new tube. Itโ€™s perfect for you. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @alexasteph! Yeah, I think I need another tube of that oneโ€”unless I have another brick red that performs better. But MAC solid lipsticks generally perform really well for me. I see a trip to Ulta (or Nordstrom, or my local MAC standalone store) in my very near future. ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

You look amazing in all these lippies @WinglessOne! So disappointing about the wear time of Iced Out! Itโ€™s stunning on initial application!

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @itsfi! I should ditch Iced Out. I say that each time I apply it. But then I see that beautiful color on my lips and think โ€œno I canโ€™t possibly let this one go!โ€ 

 

I bought Iced Out as part of a set of Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lipsticks. I think I bought it a year ago. The longer I keep Iced Out, the more goopy and clumpy it gets. I could try thinning it out. But considering how much it bleeds, how sticky it is, and how badly it wears, itโ€™s really not worth the effortโ€”no matter how much I love the color. I think Iced Out is finally going in the declutter box. Iโ€™ll have to try on the other Be Legendary liquids to see if any of those are salvageable. 

 

Man, this challenge is gutting some of my longtime favorites. But thatโ€™s actually not a bad thing. ๐Ÿ™‚ Itโ€™s forcing me to be more rational: โ€œsure, it looks fantastic, but does it perform well?โ€ And thatโ€™s how I need to judge lipsticks from now on. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne Iced Out looks lovely on you, but it's tough to keep the ones around in bad formulas.  I happen to love this line but totally admit the quality varies by shade.  I tried Bad Apple over the weekend.  I've tried it twice because I love the shade, but it's just too messy and all over the place.  I just want to say don't give up on the other colors in that set!

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @sprocketta! I think some of these (in my set, anyway) are meant to be toppers or bases. But some are pigmented enough to stand on their own. The day I got the set, I played around with art lip looks for an hour. Iโ€™d do that again before tossing any of these, but itโ€™d be far less fun now that some lipsticks have turned too goopy. Iโ€™ll still try on the others for final verdicts.
