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.
NYX Suede Matte Lipstick in Ace. So, some of you know I love blue lipsticks and that I’ve ditched a few during this challenge. Ace is a lighter, warmer shade of blue—more of a sky blue—than I’d normally pick, which is exactly why I picked it. I also wanted to give NYX bullets another chance, especially since I’ve sworn off all their liquid lipsticks. (Each one I’ve ever tried was a terrible performer.) The Suede Matte formula has a velvet finish that’s featherweight and not too drying. It applied a bit patchy on my bottom lip, requiring some smoothing out. It cracks a bit, but I can rub my lips together to redistribute color.
A few sips of coffee wears down the inner bottom lip a lot. Rubbing lips to redistribute color fixes this, temporarily. For all the wear on my bottom lip, transfer was surprisingly minimal on my cup. And Ace doesn’t bleed or feather at all. It does have a faint scent, kinda like candy... like SweeTarts or Pixy Stix. Can’t smell it 5-10 minutes after application.
I won’t rave about NYX Suede Mattes the way I do about ColourPop Luxes. But I’ll keep Ace: it’s a unique shade in my collection, and I can probably make it behave better on my bottom lip with a little primer or lip liner base. I’m not ready to give up on it yet. 🙂 Not too shabby, NYX!
@WinglessOne Such a pretty colour on you! I’m glad it performs better then others!
Thanks for feeding my addiction @WinglessOne. Now I want it. 😄 Looks great on you!
Thanks @divaknits ! Check your local Ulta or Target! 😉
@WinglessOne Fun color. Such a shame it give you troubles. These unique shades can be quite pain to work with (from my experience)
Thanks @katkapivarci ! Thankfully, I’ve got other blues that perform much better. But this one’s not terrible. 🙂
Sounds like a bit of work @WinglessOne But totally unlike everything else I've seen you post. This one puts a smile on my face.
Thanks @sprocketta ! I do have a new ColourPop Lux that might be similar, but probably grayer. Haven’t worn it yet because it’s one of the items that arrived broken in my last CP order, so I’m awaiting a replacement. If that CP Lux ends up being a dupe, then I’ll keep it over this one, barring any performance issues. We’ll see!
Definitely a great color to keep! @WinglessOne
I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great shade on you. Haaa I love NYX and was there yesterday picked up a heap load of makeup and primer, concealer, shadows they work so good on me. That’s too bad about some of their lip products. It’s funny how products perform so differently on individuals. Thankful we have so many more options nowadays.
Thanks @2manyperfumes ! Yeah, I’ve had bad luck with NYX lipsticks in the past. Their liquid mattes are some of the worst I’ve ever tried by any brand, and that sucks because I love some of the colors. But this Suede bullet is partial redemption for NYX with me. 🙂
One day off spent driving teenage girls down to visit their friends and the mall which is an hour away. I went into Zara found some cool pieces for summer and they were on sale. Then off to a Forever 21 where I didn’t buy anything although they were so many things I considered. Picked up some funky earrings at a little shop that I like in the mall and went to NYX to pick up a bunch of goodies.
I picked up some greens, teals and blue shade lip products lol yup I’m that freaky mother that all the girls want to go shopping with especially for makeup. When they want to go get their hair done or nails, piercings and tattoos .... I get but please mom they want you to come with us. Today I wore an easy shade from Melt Cosmetics called Mum (perfect for chaffeuring). By the time we got home it was dark but the lipstick was still on even after several coffees and my makeup hadn’t faded. That’s a good makeup day.
@2manyperfumes Pretty shade💕 sounds like a fun shopping trip.
Thank you @lmaster
