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.
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.
🎉🎈🍾🥳🌟 Great work @snoflakefaerie! Congratulations on finishing up the challenge! You showed great restraint in keeping your “atta girl” post-challenge purchases low. Somehow, even though I was using my stash, I managed to add considerably to it during this challenge. Oops. 😁
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 tonight’s still-to-come lipstick), @snoflakefaerie, and thanks for creating this thread! It’s been super helpful for me, too: I doubt I’d 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 “lessons learned” (or “postmortem” for oldschoolers, or whatever the official Agile method’s name is for newschoolers... I keep forgetting all the Agile terminology) session/summary after a project like this. 🙂 Got an end-of-challenge summary, maybe something like what colors/finishes/brands of lipsticks generally do and don’t 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. 😄
@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 🙂
Day 71. This is Sleepy from the Besame Snow White 7 Dwarves Collection. I got 7 lipsticks for $10 on a sale and couldn't resist. This color is seriously Barbie Girl bubble gum pink. Part of me likes it and part of me thinks it looks horrible with this black shirt. Now I have that Barbie Girl song in my head. The texture feels weird, extra waxy and the tiny lipstick was tough to apply due to the shape.
@lmaster I just kept thinking back to the Barbie Dreamhouse that I wanted as a kid.
@sprocketta That's a great deal for the 7 mini lipsticks! I did find that the mini Dwarves lipsticks from Besame had a different feel than the full-sized lipsticks I have from Besame (especially their reds).
It was a great deal @lachaton I couldn't resist. The texture is weird. I wish I could try one of their regular lipsticks as I've always thought their reds looked lovely. But no place to do that.
Is this your first Besame experience, @sprocketta? Some of their lipsticks are very waxy and take a while to get used to. I kinda like that pink on you! It looks more cool toned on your lips than it does in the bullet. If I was a seasonal lipstick person, I’d call it a fun winter pink.
And now that song’s stuck in my head, too. 😂 It’ll make my afternoon meetings more interesting.
