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.
Awww congratulations beautiful ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ On the new job and love your whole look. Very pretty lip shade on you. Appropriately named a wine colour.
@divaknits Congratulations on your new job!!! Itโs so nice to hear such nice things from your old job!! Love your positivity!
Congratulations on your new job! @divaknits
That shade looks fantastic @divaknits!โค๏ธ
@divaknits Congrats on the new job! Love this eye and lip combo on you. Bronze eyes and plum lips should be your go to look. <333
@divaknits CONGRATULATIONS! I hope your new job is wonderful! Also hope you manage to get more Liptensities. ๐ This oneโs beautiful on you and pairs perfectly with your eye look.
Today I tried a new-to-me lipstick formula: Melt Liquid Matte. Sure, Iโve sworn off liquid mattes (aside from NARS and MUFE), but Meltโs color range suckered me into buying one. I chose the shade Toke. Iโm not keeping it becauseโwell, just look at it. See how patchy it is? No, itโs not clinging to dry spots.
Itโs a very thin watery formula. I wish the doe foot was angled for easier application. It dries down to a velvet matte finish, but itโs also uncomfortably dry, even on top of balm and lip primer (I wear both each time I wear any liquid matte). Within 5 minutes, it wore away from my innermost side of my lips in an ugly gritty way. This is also what ABH liquid mattes do on my lips, which is why I hate them. Now I hate Melt liquid mattes, too.
So I thought โcan my good friend, Fenty Universal Gloss Bomb, fix this mess?โ Well, it did its best:
I love how this looks! Unfortunately, it turned the grittiness into goopiness. ๐ At least it didnโt feather, thanks to my primer base and the MUFE lip liner I applied before the liquid matte. But nope, even Gloss Bomb canโt save this lipstick.
Wiped everything off and applied one of my other new lipstick shades: ColourPop Lux in Ur Thriving. Itโs a coral pink that actually works on me, as long as I ombrรฉ it with a darker colorโin this case, NARS Precision Lip Liner in Mariachi. Iโm also wearing a Melt blush (another new-to-me formula) that I like a lot, so of course I wonโt grade Melt based on their liquid matteโs crummy performance. ๐
Thatโs too bad @WinglessOne I was disappointed with this liquid lip death Cherry and I love the shade of Toke but horrible once it is dry - sandpaper grit and dryness. I will try mine with a lip salve I picked up and I have a red lip stain too. The second colour is pretty as well ๐.
@2manyperfumes I hope you have better luck salvaging your Melt liquid matte than I did! Meltโs lipstick shades are killer but good grief, no colorโs worth such discomfortโand patchiness is just added insult.
