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 @Buootiful I hear you, some days I'm just not feeling it either.
Go for it @JessLess Can't believe it's 195 after you tossed some out. How many was it before that? You'll be in good company on this thread.
@sprocketta I was too scared to count before tossing, to be quite honest LOL I do know that I downsized enough where all of my lip products now fit in a 5 drawer acrylic organizer (before they were spilling out and in boxes and on my dresser and anywhere else I could fit them hahaha) I would definitely describe myself as a lippie addict, glad to know I’m among friends here!! 😉
@JessLess I'm definitely in need of organization for mine. I've accumulated since this challenge started and it (and this rest of my stash) is getting out of control. This does help you pare down and find if you think a lipstick is worth keeping. Here's to wearing as much as you can in 2019.
@JessLess wow! I'm way too afraid to actually count mine haha but I have more than I used for the 100 day challenge for sure
Ok Sephora wouldn’t let me heart this, soooo let me say i’m Impressed @Anonymous. I don’t think I have that many lipsticks. Well maybe I do. I’m afraid to count them for the fact that my family would find out exactly how many times I’ve been to Sephora. I have a problem. And don’t let them be either on sale or being discontinued. Must have all the lipsticks.
@divaknits Sales and discontinued lip products are insanely tempting!!!! Also any lippie GWP, or the Sephora Favorites lip sets (I’m proud to say I resisted most of those last year). A good portion of my lip products are deluxe sample sizes or something I got free with purchase, and they just added up before I realized what was happening LOL But I currently love them all, every single one out of 195 😂😂😂
You’ve inspired me @JessLess! I think I’ll count my lippies tonight after my daughter and fiancé go to bed. I already know I they outnumber my shadow palettes, and I have at least 15 of those. I can’t seem to stop with the lipsticks. I just “had” to have a lipstick and holographic lip gloss on sale at Sally Beauty. They were half of of the sale price. Nooooooo!!!
That's a great goal @JessLess ! Good on you for taking the time to go through your stash and toss the ones that are expired. Now you can play a pleasant version of lipstick roulette 😄
@Mcakes Haha thanks, I’m looking forward to it! Appreciate your support! 🙂
Since a couple of people have asked about my super secret purchases yesterday, here they are. The eyeliners I’m using as lipliners. I tried to do the text on each color on my arm, but I got frustrated. Anyway, from left to right (drumroll) Urban Decay 24/7Glide-On Eyeliner in Cuff, Kat Von D Evelasting Lip Liner in Poe, Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Metal in Space Case, Kat Von D Everlasting Lip Veiil in Razzle (actually I had my eye on another and picked this one by accident - yet another reason for me to go back to Sephora while keeping this one - oops 😬), and Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Metal in Iced Out. Since I’m by myself (rare) in our apartment, I took them out, swatched them, and put them safely in my train case. My daughter thinks I only bought one so she feels good about her life. My fiancé thinks I didn’t buy anything so he feels good about his life. We all win. 🤣🤣
Looking forward to it @divaknits I'm a big fan of the Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lip line and have 4 or 5 shades, though not the ones you got. The quality varies from color to color. I hope these are good ones for you
Thanks @sprocketta! I’m especially curious about spaced out. It’s a color i’ve never had before I’m trying to be more adventurous.
@divaknits and @sprocketta . Marc jacobs beauty has free shipping for the on the dot trio lip crayon is on sale for like ~10.50. Its a great set with free shipping and on sale 🙂
Oh, and Iced out will look awesome on you @divaknits. I have to use that one again without using Halloween as an excuse to wear it.
I’ve stopped using Halloween as an excuse for any of my makeup choices @Buootiful. The louder the better. I threw out some that I knew didn’t look good on me, but i’m back in all my wild and weirdness.
@divaknits I love! Can’t wait to see these on you 😉
Thanks bunches @ciann. I’m really looking forward to wearing them. Like I really needed more lipstick. 🤔
Well, my 2019 didn't start quite the right way and began with a series of bad makeup days. So here is the parade of the worst duds from my lipstick collection.
Day 85
Bare Minerals liquid lippie in Swag from the reward set. A way too light and cool-toned pink for my face, plus it can't boast the staying power of a good liquid formula.
Day 86
NARS Audacious in Vera. Not a bad colour in itself, but the picture leaves much to be desired. Also, staying power is not the best.
Day 87
NARS Audacious in Olivia. I wouldn't call it a dud for colour, actually I quite like the shade and it's rather emollient. However, this thing feathers like crazy and moves around everywhere, giving you the "undone" lip even if you hate the trend (like I do). I am glad I bought it at a discount and not full price.
Day 88
This is the only thing out of my last week's trials that I really like. NARS lip crayon in Walkyrie. The colour is the right mix between nude and bold and the application is easy. Cannot survive lunch, but without food it can hold its own.
Day 89
Bite Beauty crayon in Cava. This is probably the worst lip colour I wore in my life. My face looks like I died of exposure three days ago. I am actually thankful it's lasting power is very poor. Hope my bad makeup days are over 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, people! I hope mu makeup misfortunes are over 🙂
