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.
@MissPuff You are so very welcome! I canโt believe how fab it looks on you (because it was a no go on me)! It is a nice formula though. I should check out some of the less orange alternatives. ๐
@jozkid I've got two of the nudes (I want to say Peacemaker and....Achiever?) and they are LOVELY.
Great shade on you, @MissPuff, but can I say WOW is your skin flawless!!!
Awww, thank you @eshoe ! It's all a lie though, I've got quite a bit of powder on to hide my winter blotchiness ๐
The last of my face spam! cue singing "Looks like we made it; Look how far we've come!"
Day 91: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Scorpio
Day 92: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Sagittarius
This was at the end of the night after a long shift. I couldn't get it to photograph true to color, so I made a face.
Day 93: Kat von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Ozzy
This color is probably a little too pale/white based, so I just went for it with makeup making me look dead.
Day 94: Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Holly
Day 95: NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Get Up Stand Up
Day 96: Smashbox Always On Metallic Matte in Maneater
Now on to the celebratory lipsticks for completing the challenge!
Day 97: Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Full Panic
Day 98: Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson
It was hard for me to get a true-to-life picture of the color. I also realized
I accidentally had the face beautifier on for a few of these shots (got a new phone), so my face doesn't really look this smooth. Anyway, this made it through tasting 40 whiskies, but it couldn't handle an Indian dinner.
Day 99: Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Obsessed!
Definitely made it through tasting 20 champagnes.
Tonight will be day 100! I honestly can't believe I stuck with the challenge and so many of you have joined in on the fun. It's been great going through my collection and realizing what colors and formulas work and what don't.
@snoflakefaerieAll those PMGs look great on you. You must've bought the same set as me. Congrats on finishing! You have no idea how glad I am that you posted this challenge. It's been a great way to build comradery and increase my lipstick collection (which is probably not a great thing). Thanks for doing it and sticking it out!
Thanks @sprocketta. I thought about getting both the PMG mini sets, but I couldn't quite justify the more nude set. I do really like them though. I am definitely considering picking up another shade; I just want a color that is going to be unique to my collection. It makes my heart sing to hear how much you have enjoyed participating in this thread. We've had a great group of people participating. I know none of us NEED to add to our collection, but it is great to see how colors wear on so many different people, and also to learn what lipsticks are really worth adding to the mix.
Thank you @lmaster. I definitely have to be in a "diva" mood to wear those sunnies, but I do love them.
๐๐๐พ๐ฅณ๐ Great work @snoflakefaerie! Congratulations on finishing up the challenge! You showed great restraint in keeping your โatta girlโ post-challenge purchases low. Somehow, even though I was using my stash, I managed to add considerably to it during this challenge. Oops. ๐
Haha, @jozkid I definitely wasn't as good as I should have been with my celebratory purchases, but whatever, I LOVE lipstick!
Congrats on finishing (including tonightโs still-to-come lipstick), @snoflakefaerie, and thanks for creating this thread! Itโs been super helpful for me, too: I doubt Iโd have purged so many lipsticks in this short a time without this thread prompting me to wear more than 5% of my hoard. This has been a great and fun challenge!
In the corporate world, folks would ask for a โlessons learnedโ (or โpostmortemโ for oldschoolers, or whatever the official Agile methodโs name is for newschoolers... I keep forgetting all the Agile terminology) session/summary after a project like this. ๐ Got an end-of-challenge summary, maybe something like what colors/finishes/brands of lipsticks generally do and donโt work for you?
I already know one of mine: liquid mattes generally do not play nice with my lips, so I should stop buying so many of them. ๐
@WinglessOne I'm really happy to hear it's been useful for you! I also came to the conclusion that I'm not the biggest fan of liquid lipsticks, and I probably shouldn't buy them anymore! I didn't find a whole lot that I want to purge, but it was very helpful for determining which direction I want my collection to go. I went a little more in to things in my final post if you are curious.
Day 18 BITE BEAUTY - Multistick shade papaya
I feel the same about this formula. It can be a bit too drying, but I do love so many of the colors!
This is a really pretty color on you @lmaster When a lipstick is too matte, you've got a problem. Hopefully you can figure out the right solution for this one.
Thank you @sprocketta yep, later on, I had to add some gloss
@lmaster It's wonderful! It's definitely worth it just like all Tatcha products ๐
