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 @2manyperfumes ! I have a couple of “invisible” white lip liners that are supposed to stop bleeding (one’s by Lipstick Queen, the other’s by Bite; actually, Bite calls theirs a lip primer), but neither of them do a good job. Instead, I rely on my tried and true lip primer, MAC Prep + Prime Lip. When I only want to stop feathering, I just run it around the outside of my lips like a liner, to create an invisible barrier.
It can’t stop all bleeders though. My worst bleeder was Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lip in Iced Out, which is a GORGEOUS super glossy metallic blue shade. I finally dropped it in my declutter box last year, after a year or 2 of trying to keep it from feathering like crazy. Nothing contains Iced Out. If this S&C gloss has the same problem, I won’t keep it. I’ll just be very sad to let it go.
Hmmm I’m going to look into that MAC product. Thanks for the info on it. I love Mac and any excuse to poke my head into their shop lol. That’s too bad opabout the iced out. Hate when you fall in love with the shade and it won’t cooperate.
Your ending..it fell out of the tube - oh my! Hope you have better luck with your lipstick tomorrow @divaknits
Me too. I intends to use the other two tomorrow and the day after. I see I’ll have to work with them to make them work. No one should have to work so hard to get any makeup to look good. Let’s see how they do @ShortErica.
I so agree @divaknits! If I need a balm and a primer and blotting and blah blah blah to make a lippie work, then no thanks. Can't wait to hear your updates and I'll cross my fingers that it goes better with the other two. 🤞
The second one went much better, but I had to do lip balm and primer. I love the color though so I'll probably keep it.
@divaknits Flesh 3 looks great on you! It’s one of my favorite neutral shades by anyone. I’m surprised the MatteTrance formula’s so drying on you, though, since you wear a lot of liquid mattes—but that’s because I’m the opposite (most liquid mattes are too drying on me while the MatteTrance bullets feel fine). 😄 Definitely try a balm with it next time. (I can’t wear any matte—liquid or bullet) without a base of balm.)
If you bought the Skin Show mini trio from Sephora: have you contacted them yet about the defective bullet?
Thanks @WinglessOne! No I hadn’t even thought of doing it. Another person who reviewed it said theirs fell out too. I guess I should contact them. Funny. It’s Flesh 3 that fell out.
Pretty shade on you - soft. Oh I can’t believe it fell out NO it wasn’t set right in the mold. Grrrr. Sorry to hear it’s drying that’s not what you would want from a luxe product. MAC Cork is one of my favourite lip liners ❤️. Lucky it’s a mini but you should get the same quality in the mini because if that is what you buy to sample a brand you’re not going to bother with the brand if it’s disappointing 😔. Glad it wasn’t the full size $$.
Ikr? I must say it hasn’t budged. Then again I haven’t eaten or drank anything either. I forget to do them. Couldn’t tell it by my weight. No wonder I feel dehydrated. Going home and eating right away.
I’m sorry you don’t like it @divaknits, it does look pretty though❤️
Thanks @faeriegirl! So bummed about the formula.
Day 11- Sephora oil infusion in bubbly grenadine
@Weetart It took quite a few swipes before I got enough color out of it. It felt nice and wasn’t sticky. I ate about an hour after putting it on and it didn’t make it through. I think it’s definitely one you would have to reapply several times a day.
With every post it looks like your smile gets bigger and bigger @faeriegirl. You have a lot of pretty shades to smile in. Thanks for posting the oil infusion, I hadn't heard of it like @2manyperfumes
I’ve never heard of Sephora oil but it certainly is pretty on you. Mid tone sheer pink 💗
