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 Wow they all look amazing on you!! What is your opinion on the kylie jenner lipsticks?? Ive been wanting to know if they are as good as the hype
Thanks! @ather. Kylie formula is ok, it wears out in the middle but after eating it is crumbly and i dont like the way it feels. This is definitely a return.
@Buootiful I love the Smashbox! How very 2019 Pantone color of the year of you! 😍😍 The Kylie does look nice on you, but that sucks that it’s drying even with balm! I was a big fan of when you wore the KVD Plath though, so at least you know you have a more comfortable formula in a similar color!
I'm on trend? What, lol? Thanks for making me feel like a youtuber for a second @cianni 🙂
Gah, gorgeous color! I have one Smashbox metallic matte that I wore and decided to *keep*, but said I wouldn't buy any more. This shade is tempting that resolve! Beautiful!
Pretty sure the blue in this one just keeps the burgundy on the berry/purple side of that dark red spectrum, instead of leaning more brown like many can do. And that keeps it squarely in my realm of WANT NOW 😛
Thank you @RGbrown! So I see now, when a lippie has a "blue" in it, you don't necessarily see it since it just helps the shade in the tone spectrum.
I'm in love with it so I recommend it but one con is that it dries really quickly and is a little bit hard to apply- I botched my upper lip at first because the applicator is different than I'm used too lol I applied another coat and that fixed it up. But other than that, it's an amazing lipstick!
This is gorgeous! I guess you all have convinced me to try out a metallic lip!
@SnugglePuggle94 I think this makes you look incredibly put together with minimal makeup. Very very flattering. I’m noticing you’re getting more adventurous with your color choices. Well done!
I love this shade on you @SnugglePuggle94! It’s such an unexpected and pretty color, plus the shimmer is just right. 💗👍🏼
These Smashbox Metallics are awesome colors. This one looks gorgeous on you!! @SnugglePuggle94. Putting it on my faves 🙂
Ahh omg obsessed @SnugglePuggle94!!!! I neeeeed this in my life, you’ve inspired me haha 😍😍😍
So I'll start by saying I'm not a lip junkie. I don't have many lip products but I have a few unopened sample size ones. This group has inspired me to at least try my samples and maybe even pan them.
This is Sephora Rouge Cream in the shade Belly Dancing. My husband requested a free sample online for me which was sweet. I'm not a big red person - I feel like most reds make my teeth look yellow. But I decided to try this one with my red holiday dress for our office party.
The left picture is at the beginning of the day. Please ignore my still wet hair. The picture on the right is after breakfast and lunch. It has worn off and faded but I don't think it looks terrible.
After one use, I'd say red still wouldn't be my everyday color but I'll give it a go occasionally. The formula is okay. I'm sure a lip liner would help with application since I couldn't get a crisp line but it didn't smear which was good. I think the one thing I didn't like was the scent. It smelled a bit waxy and reminded me of getting Wet N Wild lipsticks in the 90s.
I'm looking forward to trying some of my other lip options and sharing with this group. Out of curiosity, does anyone have a guess for how long it takes to use a bullet sample? I'm thinking of putting a few in a project pan but as I don't have much lip product experience I wanted to establish realistic goals. Thanks!
Welcome!! Red looks stunning on you! ❤️
Welcome to the challenge! I think this is a pretty red and it still looks good as it wore down!
Welcome to the challenge, @ShortErica! That’s a really nice shade of red. I even like the stain it left behind as it wore away. And your teeth don’t look yellow at all to me in these photos. 🙂 Good (and thoughtful) sample choice by your husband!
Good question about sample (and mini) bullets. It just depends on how often you use it. I’ve gone through a mini bullet of Lipstick Queen Frog Prince in about 3 months. It’s what I wear whenever I’m not wearing another lipstick on my lips. Since it’s more of a tinted balm, I have to reapply it throughout the day. And I always keep a mini Frog Prince in my bag/purse, and always travel with it (I usually wear it on plane travel days)... it gets a lot of use between other lipsticks.
But I don’t think I’ve ever completely finished any other mini/sample bullet—not even my mini MAC Rebel (another one I always travel with), which is still half full. Hmm... next year, I think I’ll pick a mini and see how long it takes to pan it with once- or twice-a-week usage.
