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.
Itโs beautiful on you @katkapivarci . And you have such amazing lashes!
@PrettyPaint You are so sweet๐ thank you so much!!
That's what I'm distracted by too @PrettyPaint! @katkapivarci what mascara are you using?
@ShortErica @PrettyPaint itโs actually the Hourglass Caution mascara. Is very good in separating lashes and making them long but kinda hard to apply due to the shape of the packaging.
That stinks about the packaging but you've managed to get an awesome end result @katkapivarci
@ShortErica I know! I want to try whatever mascara it is, though I know my lashes will never look nearly that good! ๐
@Anonymous Thank you so much๐
This is a pretty combo, @katkapivarci ! What donโt you like about glosses? I swore them off for years until last spring or summer, when I fell in love with one brandโs gloss line.
@WinglessOne I donโt like the feel of gloss on my lips. That glidiness/stickyness of it. Also my hair is so fine and thin I always get fly aways stuck on my lips even when I have them in ponytail or bun. And I canโt kiss my baby boy because heโll end up covered in sticky kisses. And they donโt last through food. I didnโt mind them few years back thatโs why I still have few in my collection but now I just donโt like them. ๐๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
@katkapivarci Thatโs understandable. ๐ My main reason for hating glosses for so long is the sticky glue/molasses feel. Iโm glad some brands have recently figured out how to make gloss feel much less sticky, and someโwell, one brand in particular has nailed the longevity aspect of gloss. But there are still plenty of glosses I canโt comfortably wear, so I hear you.
You just reminded me of my friendโs toddler who got into her makeup one day. He covered his mouth and hands in MAC Lipglass and ran around the house making as many people and things sticky as possible. ๐ She sent me a photo of him with dog hair stuck to his face, from burying his face in their golden labโs fur of course. Sometimes little kids donโt mind sticky kisses. ๐
I started my day with NARS Audacious in Rita. I rarely wear this one and now I remember why: Rita has an attitude problem. Sheโs very drying for an Audacious. So drying, she gets kinda crumbly-clumpy in places within the first 20 minutes of wear. This is not like my other Audacious bullets. The others are comfy. Rita is not. Therefore, Rita is gone. Without even swatch-comparing some of my reds, I know I have a good dupe, so Iโm not upset about dropping Rita in the declutter box.
30 minutes later, I happily replaced Rita with Shiseido Visionary Gel in Firecracker, which is a repeat shade for this thread.
@WinglessOne wow itโs crazy how close they are. I would have thought itโs the same one!
@ather Yep. ๐ Firecrackerโs a touch warmer than Rita.
Thanks @faeriegirl @lmaster @PrettyPaint @sprocketta @RebeccaBT @2manyperfumes !
I can I definitely see the variations on each one, that's so crazy how one color can literally be made into 30+ different versions @WinglessOne
@lmaster Right? When people ask how many reds I have, well... it depends on which kind of red weโre talking about. ๐ Warm reds? Cool reds? Ruby, tomato, brick, โclassic,โ cherry, orange red...? And thatโs without delving deep into the burgundy, vampy, blood red shades. Thereโs a red for everyone. ๐
You definitely hit the nail on the head @WinglessOne ๐
Ban one really have too many reds lol I think not ๐ I can see that the PMG has a depth and intensity that some very similar shades donโt. 9 and 12 have such depth. 2,3 and 6 are similar but 3 looks creamier and muted compared to 6. The Reckoning of the Reds sounds like a Game of Thrones episode lol. So which ones are you not thrilled with. They all look good.
