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 @faeriegirl @lmaster @Anonymous !
That color looks beautiful @WinglessOne!๐
@WinglessOne This color looks so perfect on you.
@WinglessOne Iโm still waiting to try the โelusive-to-meโ Lancรดme LโAbsolu Lacquers. As if I donโt have enough through already. My collection keeps swelling. Right now Iโm into minis. That made up a lot of my haul at Ultaโs 21 Days of Beauty sale. Maybe Iโll be able to use them all since I canโt seem to finish my larger items. I get bored easily. ๐
@divaknits Iโve been trying to avoid Ulta during this sale so I donโt re-Diamond for 2020. Itโs been hard. ๐ I do hope you get to try a Lacquer, and that you enjoy all your Ulta mini goodies!
@WinglessOne I went in there to buy two and get one free. Not buy six get two free. Smh
I went in yesterday to pick up my ABH Brow Wiz, paid, and practically ran out so I wouldnโt be tempted to buy anything else @WinglessOne ! Lol!
@jozkid ๐ When I walk up the street past the local Ulta that stocks MAC and ColourPop (and Beauty Bakerie, and I think Juviaโs Place, and all the other usual Ulta in-store brands), I have to chant to myself: โNope, not going in there, keeeep walkinโ, no no no NONONONONOnope!โ That storeโs in very close proximity to Nordstrom, Sephora, a stand-alone MAC store, a TJMaxx and Marshalls around the corner, and whateverโs inside the Nordstrom-anchored mall nowadays (thereโs a Winky Lux store in there now). Itโs 2 city blocks of pure temptation!
Totally walking the gauntlet @WinglessOne!
This is the reason I need to stay in a city/town. People here think itโs a city but itโs a town. You can go around in a circle and be done. ๐คฃ Seriously though, Iโd probably never go home until after the stores closed and with the way I go through lipsticks and other makeup Iโd probably be homeless. Fortunately the stores I frequent are in the mall and it takes effort for me to go over there. I miss my Sephora peeps. I donโt go to Ulta unless thereโs a good sale. The folks there arenโt very helpful or friendly. In fact, most of them look downright miserable. Sorry, Ulta in my town.
@divaknits The biggest reason I choose to live in this city instead of the burbs is extreme convenience. ๐ Suburban life was great when I was a little kid (my elementary school was in my subdivision and many of us walked to and from each day), but not so much in my teens. Decades later, I canโt imagine living someplace where I canโt step outside my home and walk to pretty much anything I need, or take a short walk to a public transit stop.
The downside of that, of course, is having so many stores within easy reach. Besides makeup, Iโm also very much into kitchen knives (I like to cook; I have several Japanese high carbon knives; I sharpen โem on water stones) and, luckily for my wallet, my favorite knife shops arenโt in Chicagoโso I have to order online. If Chef Knives To Go was located in Chicago, Iโd be broke. ๐

It looks gorgeous on you! That one looks totally different than I imagined; for some reason I had it in my head that it was a lighter purple, nearly but not quite pastel, and had been on the fence about it. Sold!
Thanks @RGbrown ! โบ๏ธ Canโt wait to see how it looks on you! It surprised me, too, the first time I ever wore it: I also expected something more pastel, which worried me. Itโs definitely a richer shade than it seems.
Looonngg day at work over and had the best sunlight earlier to play with pinks. Oh oh because I thought I didnโt have a lot of those shades and Iโve ordered more. ๐ I didnโt even finish trying them all on before my lips started to swell and I was making a mess. So I pulled out two liquid lips and 2 lip glosses to go over top the matte colours. Iโm trying to use all my KVD collection before I move on to the next. I have MAC pinks, NYX, Urban Decay, Stila, Goddess (indie brand/gift), Too Faced and Revlon. I did a matte lip then topped it with a gloss. First look is Mother by KVD with Pretty Smart gloss by that indie brand someone gave me. Second look is Bauhaus by KVD with a ice pearl gloss by same indie brand.
I like Mother the best on you!
Thank you @lmaster it was fun to organize and take stock of just how many pinks I have.
