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.
@RGbrown : Let me introduce you to Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge (matte) in Black Dragon. Not sure if you’ve ever tried this one, but it’s the closest Noblesse dupe I’ve found so far.
Have you tried any mattes from this Lancôme line of bullets? I have. 🙂 They’re quite comfy, not drying to me at all, and they have nice staying power with graceful weardown. These bullets have Lancôme’s rose scent, but it disappears quickly and I can’t taste it.
After stalking Black Dragon for a while, I bought it during a recent Lancôme sale. Today’s the first time I’ve ever worn it. It’s quite creamy during application, so it can get patchy, especially with balm underneath. But I had no problem evening it out, unlike Noblesse which takes lots of effort. It’s just a hair redder than Noblesse, but definitely bluer than PMG Exxotica. Let’s compare! In the lip swatch photo, I can see that Noblesse is darker but can’t tell the difference between them in terms of color—and I’m pretty dang good at seeing color variations.

Gorgeous
Love them both on you! Very pretty. @WinglessOne
Beeaautiful shade @WinglessOne 🥰 once again 👍 I saw MAC is bringing that black lippie back from the vaults. It was on an email last chance to get them. Lol sorry but we are all enablers here. 😂😂
Thanks @2manyperfumes! Which MAC black lipstick is coming back? I got the vault email but haven’t read it yet. 🙂
That shade looks fantastic on you @WinglessOne!
@WinglessOne this shade is stunning on you! love it!
Gorgeous, lovely @WinglessOne . I'll have to look that one up.
That shade is gorgeous on you @WinglessOne ! I was eyeing these while looking at the lacquers. You’re making my lipstick hoarding problem worse. 😄
So true, @divaknits , at least there are worse problems than lipstick hoarding!
Hmmmm, not sure I've tried one of these mattes. Aside from knowing the Lacquers are Lamcome, Lancome and Estee Lauder are two brands I mix up frequently, and I know I decluttered a matte from one or the other. Will have to look and see which one it was! That shade is stunning though, so thank you for the recommendation!
