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.
Origins Blooming Bold Lipstick in Lush Lotus. First Origins lipstick Iโve tried in years, and Iโm glad I took a chance on it!
This formula is supposedly made of flower petals and flower wax (donโt ask me, man, ask Origins). It doesnโt feel like wax on my lips at all, thank goodness. ๐ Itโs not super emollient but it is creamy and comfy. As you can see, itโs VERY pigmented, and that pigment is truly long lasting. Here it is 4 hours, 1 coffee, and 1 bottle of water later, with no touch ups:
That color never feathered or bled. It wore down incredibly evenly and didnโt disappear until I wiped it off with a wet paper towel. And by โwore down,โ I really mean โit looked like Iโd applied it just 2 minutes ago and lightly blotted it on a napkin.โ At the 4 hour mark, I rubbed my lips together to test for gritty crumblies. This stuff was still creamy enough to easily redistribute color, had I really needed to do that. (I didnโt. :D)
Are the Blooming Bolds as good as my beloved Liptensities? Nope: Liptensities are creamier. But Iโm impressed enough with this shade to try another one. Well done, Origins!
Thanks @Luvstravel !
@WinglessOne Awesome review! Great colour on you!
Thanks so much @PinkEvergreen @PrettyPaint @2manyperfumes @faeriegirl @lmaster !
Iโm impressed too @WinglessOne ๐ฅฐ beautiful shade and it looks creamy. I didnโt know that Origins created a lipstick.
That's beautiful on you @WinglessOne, and that wear time is impressive!
@WinglessOne Gorgeous!!! Love the shade, love the shade on you, love the creamy shine!!! ๐
Fabulous!!!
I have to ask though, how's the scent? I had a couple of these on my loves list when they first came out at Ulta, but now that some reviews are in, they mention a rose/floral scent, so I immediately deleted them. I'm not a fan of scented makeup in general, and florals are the worst in my eyes (or, well, in my nose ๐).
@RGbrown Heh, I havenโt read any of the reviews on these yet. ๐ I intentionally ignored all reviews because I didnโt want any negative ones rekindling my former bias against Originsโ lipsticks. I wanted to test one myself first.
Canโt speak for the other shades, but Lush Lotus barely has a scent. To me, it smells very faintly of rose and maybe jasmine. I can smell it during application but not strongly, and 5 minutes later Iโve either gotten used to such a faint scent or itโs disappeared. I just swatched it on my hand and I have to get my nose right up on itโactually touch my nose to my handโto smell any scent. Lancรดmeโs lipsticks are more scented than this. Hell, MACโs Powder Kiss lipsticks are more strongly scented. ๐ Itโs not YSL overkill rose scented by any stretch of the imagination.
If you were fine with the Lancรดme LโAbsolu Rouge scent, I doubt these Blooming Bolds will bother you. ๐
Lancome wasn't awful, the scent dissipated pretty quickly, so dangit, back on the loves list they go. I'm building a 20%/points haul as we speak, so one may arrive at my door sooner rather than later ๐
Was kinda hoping for a talk-me-out-of-it though ๐
@RGbrown โWas kinda hoping for a talk-me-out-of-it thoughโ โ๐๐คฃ Sorry, I havenโt reached that part of lipstick junkie rehab yet.
Iโm also compiling a 20% off list so I can use more of my Ulta points. I need to cull the number of lipsticks on it, but other Blooming Bold shades are involved.
Cull the number of lipsticks? Why???? That's all that's on my list so far ๐คฃ
ETA: have you tried a TPSY? Looking at either the marker or an Absoliptly (ok, both lol) now that they're on sale. I've never really noticed the brand before, but sale stuff always gets my attention ๐
@RGbrown Each time I see the TPSY markers, I wonder if they behave the same way a normal felt tip marker would, complete with streaky uneven cover. Thatโs how I keep talking myself out of buying one. ๐ I donโt think Iโve looked into their Absoliply yet. Gonna do that tomorrow. Iโm finally completely tired enough to probably go to bed early tonight. (Heh, โearlyโ = anytime before 1 AM.) If you decide to get one (or both!), Iโd love to hear your thoughts on them!
I'll probably have and get both. Sale + 20% + points = my favorite time to splurge ๐
I hope you can finally get some sleep!! ๐ค
