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.
I think it looks ok, but lifeโs too short to bother with lip products that donโt bring you joy. I can tell youโre not in love with this one because youโre not really smiling.
Definitely @divaknits! Thatโs how I judge them, if they donโt make me smile they get tossed๐
Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in Joy. I bought this a year or 2 ago and completely forgot about it. Do not be fooled by the beautiful metallic fuchsia color with purple shift. Itโs a perfect example of prettiness over performance.
Itโs supposed to be buildable from medium to full coverage. I struggled to get this medium coat, and itโs still patchy. Going in for a second (and third, and forth) coat merely wiped away the existing coat. ๐ก I achieved what you see in the photo only by rubbing my lips together and hoping for the bestโwhich is why the outlineโs messy and off-shape.
Also, itโs billed as a demi-matte. Feels more like a full matte to me, and not the good kind. Supposedly itโs got some kind of oil/butter in it to make it emollient, but my lips canโt verify that claim. Itโs not super drying but also not comfy. Itโs definitely leaving my collection.
I didnโt go out wearing this. Took this photo, wiped Joy off, and applied something Iโve already worn in this challenge: PMG Lip Fetish balm in Full Fantasy. Mother to the rescue! (This is why Pat gets all my money. ๐) I almost applied UD Firebird instead, but didnโt wanna fuss with a lip liner and/or primer (necessary to keep Firebird from bleeding all over my chin).
@WinglessOne aww sorry to hear the first one didnโt work out. I love your eyeshadow! So pretty.
Thanks @ather , @divaknits , @2manyperfumes ! ๐
Wow! Thatโs too bad @WinglessOne. Something that pretty shouldnโt be acting like it hasnโt had home training.
Ugh thatโs another one bites the dust @WinglessOne ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I hate when Iโm lured by the colour too. Lucky you had a reliable back up to save the day โค๏ธ.
I am having SUCH a hard time heeding your warning because I keep getting distracted. I am completely fooled by that beautiful metallic fuchsia with purple shift ๐คช
@RGbrown Donโt do it! Just back away from the pretty color! ๐คฃ
Thatโs too bad about the formula because it is really pretty @WinglessOne โน๏ธ
@faeriegirl Even now, Iโm trying to figure out how to salvage that beautiful color, when I should go directly to declutter, do not pass go, do not collect 200 more lipsticks that perform poorly. ๐
@Weetart ๐ At least I (and others) can laugh about it!
@KehDee Itโs a heartbreaker for sure.
Digging through my bullets I found many that havenโt even been used yet ๐ฌ I couldnโt resist the NYX BOGO and 75% final sale. I just grabbed one of each ๐คฆโโ๏ธ Therapy thatโs what I need. This is so comforting after the fast dry cement feel from a couple of days ago. It was free too. Part of the BOGO. In your element line from NYX (glossy peach). Whereโs beautiful like a cream with a hint of gloss. I used nude rose lip pencil from Clarins underneath. Itโs been a crazy week but small victory I had a good hair day going grocery shopping / pouring rain lol. Love me my ginormous golf umbrella
Looks great @2manyperfumes ! I havenโt seen any of those around here. NYX is having some good sales though.
