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.
NARS Velvet lip glide in Burning Love, no lipliner.
I hate to say it but not as good as Lancome Labsolue Lacquer. But, when you put it on top of NARS powermatte, it makes the color brighter and shinier without losing the staying power of the power matte 🙂 It doesnt dissolve like glosses
Oh, good to know it pairs well with the powermatte! I’ve seen the velvet lip glide a couple times, but never swatched it myself! It looks marvellous on you! @Buootiful
Very pretty strawberry shade on you @Buootiful perfect compliment to the blue 👍 you wear the bright shades beautifully.
Thank you so much! I thought it was going to be more red than pink based on the bottle color but it works *High five! @2manyperfumes
That color looks so pretty on you @Buootiful!❤️
@Buootiful It’s gorgeous! And you’re looking especially nice today. New skincare? Your glow is wonderful!
Thank you so much but the glow is coming from the outside light 🙂 ! In a way, It is new skincare @heartsmyface . I hadnt done a chemical exfoliation mask in a while cuz this one is extremely uncomfortable. Its from Little barn apothecary -Passion Fruit + Rose Enzymatic Exfoliant. Very interesting but I cant tell results because the tingling scares me so I dont do it 1x a wk, but the red goes away by the time I wake up.
Burning Love is great on you! You should never let this one go!
Ahh, thank you! Hopefully I can pan it this year since it;s a mini 🙂 @tsavorite
@Buootiful I’m convinced the Velvet Lip Glides and Powermattes were made to work together, because everything else I’ve worn under any Velvet Lip Glide gums/gunks/balls up. This one’s beautiful on you!
Thank you! Now I am going to test with all the lipliners I have 🙂 @WinglessOne
Definitely not feeling the too faced peach puff diffused matte lip color in velvet rope. It’s not that it isn’t any of those things. It’s exactly that it is all of those things. I can see wanting to wear them under other lipsticks as an insurance policy but I can’t help but feel like this just looks like I need to reapply. Maybe the four I bought will grow on me.
@heartsmyface It takes a while to get used to those soft diffused finishes. (I’m going through the same thing with a different diffused finish lipstick.) I do like this one on you, though, as a lip stain look.
I played with a couple of the Peach Puffs in store. I didn’t buy one mostly because I knew the applicator would frustrate me. But now I wonder how they sit under gloss. I bet a clear or pink/peach tinted gloss would make Velvet Rope pop. 🙂
@WinglessOne These work best if you apply them haphazardly with the applicator and then pat the edges with your finger.
Which lippy are you working with? I swear I have or tried and decluttered (I have to check) something similar to these by NYX. Ha, I normally like clean crisp edges and moisture so I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought these🤣
@heartsmyface Mine is a ColourPop Blur Lux, which is the soft fuzzy diffused finish version of CP’s Lux bullets. I also have 2 ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip shades; those are liquid mattes that have the same finish as the Peach Puffs. I’m not sold on the Ultra Blotted Lips, but I’m trying to warm up to the Blur Lux. I like it better partly because it’s not as faintly pigmented as the liquid mattes. But it’s still diffused with very soft edges and it confuses me. 😂
Good to know about the application. In the store, I wondered “how would I apply this without a lip brush (I don’t like lip brushes), and also without a complete toddler popsicle mouth effect?” See, I keep forgetting these diffused finishes aren’t meant to create a crisp lip line. They confuse me!
Haha, if I’m gonna walk around with toddler popsicle mouth it had better be cause I just enjoyed a popsicle!
I wonder if we’re supoosed to be bringing the color all the way out to the edges of our lips...like are they meant to create rosebud lips? (A Korean trend). @WinglessOne
I think this looks good on you @heartsmyface . It's kind of a "I just threw this on" look? "Dashing mom on the go"? "I'm not spending every minute trying to look this good, I just do"? It goes great with a more natural look!
@missjeanie I think where my frustration lies with them is that I can’t do anything with them but a diffused look, but with conventional bullet lipsticks I can make them opague or softer if I wish. I bet they’ll be more welcomed in the summer. They do stain well.
I could see how that’s the case @heartsmyface . I always find the staining effect nice since I’m horrible at remembering to reapply in a timely or precise manner, but I’m thinking these will be a pass until I hear some better reviews. Thanks for the honesty!
