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.
Today I haven’t worn any lipstick yet, and yesterday I repeated a shade. But here’s a bonus photo from Tuesday night (the day I wore the Sulwhasoo lipstick): this is Clove + Hallow Lip Creme in Damsel.
I’d never tried anything by Clove + Hallow before. I bought this (and a 2nd lipstick I might test later today) as part of my “what to gift to my all-natural-makeup loving friend” search: I don’t want to give her something I can’t vouch for. It’s a comfy satin with great pigmentation. It feathered a bit all along my bottom lip, though. I need to test it again with a liner, since my friend almost always wears liners with lipsticks anyway. If it still bleeds, then I won’t buy a tube for her—and I won’t keep this one for myself, either. And that’ll be a bummer because it’s a very nice red.
It is a really gorgeous red, @WinglessOne! I hope a lip liner helps.
Bummer that this festered since it’s a pretty shade. I’ve nevwr heard of this brand before, but hopefully it wears better with a liner.
Its a good red but you definitely have a dupe in that shade @WinglessOne. I havent tried this one either, but how about Elate Cosmetics? I signed up for their email because of their natural ingredients but cant seem to pull the trigger and order from them. They have great bamboo packaging. 🙂
Hmm, I haven’t looked into Elate Cosmetics. Thanks for the suggestion, @Buootiful! I’ll check them out. Meanwhile, the Clove + Hallow lipstick I tried has been spoken for: another friend wants it if I don’t, despite the feathering issue. Hooray!
My declutter effort isn’t done yet. In addition to wear-testing the rest of my “declutter limbo” candidates, I need to swatch all my dupes and decide which ones to keep. I recently did this with all my oxbloods. It’ll be more painful when I get to my purples and reds.
@WinglessOne that’s a shame it feathered, it’s not easy to find all natural. I haven’t heard of Clove + Hallow before! Hopefully it performs better with liner 🤞🏼
Thanks @cianni! Some other friends and I are trying to pull together a bundle of all natural makeup items for our gift recipient, and it’s making us realize how hard it is for her to find things on a regular basis. It’s much easier to find all natural skincare than makeup!
Woohoo! Today is Day 95 in this challenge. I did a count up last night. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to make it! Today I’m wearing LAURA MERCIER - Lip Glacé - Rose
This had to be a perk or was included in a box or something. I don’t think I’ve ever even worn it. It’s pretty but pale. And since it’s a gloss the wear time is super short. Like @WinglessOne who decided that matte liquid lippies are not her thing, I think I’ve decided I don’t really go for lip glosses. I like the shine, but it needs to stick around for a while.
Too bad about glosses for you @jozkid but the shine is soo pretty!
@jozkid I love the LAURA MERCIER - Lip Glacé. Love the smell of vanilla they have 🙂 Such a natural, pretty lip on you!
Best,
Rebecca
Thanks doll @lmaster!
This one's for @jozkid who gifted me this fabulous lippie 🙂 She knows my penchant for oranges and orange reds and sent me HOURGLASS - GIRL Lip Stylo - Lover
The stylos have a great formula, relatively emollient which is great in the winter, one layer lightly blotted will give you a soft matte lip, two layers will give you the full on, saturated, juicy satin sheen pout 🙂 This is end of the day wear, slightly toned down, bright red with only the slightest hint of orange, looks almost poppy hued!
I classify it as a "daytime" soft red, very wearable and not too vavavoom for work. The stylo lives in my bag so I can swipe it when I need a quick bright lip 🙂 Thanks @jozkid 🙂
