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.
Beautiful colour
This is beautiful on you @gonerogue wow it’s definitely an iconic shade from MAC for good reason 😍
That looks so pretty pink on you! @gonerogue
ColourPop Lux in JV. Some folks in this thread know how passionate I am about blue lipsticks, so I probably don’t need to say I love this shade.
Fairly comfy for a matte bullet, though not as creamy feeling as most of my other CP Lux mattes. It wears off a bit from the center of my bottom lip, but not very noticeably. Wears down gracefully throughout the day. No feathering or bleeding. Also no staining after removal, which surprised me.
To me, JV seems like the kind of dark grey blue anyone could comfortably wear. Sure, I think anyone can wear any blue lipstick they want :D, but this one’s a denim shade—and c’mon, denim’s a neutral, it works with anything. Here’s JV compared to 2 other blue mattes: Urban Decay Vice Comfort Matte in Heroine and NYX Suede in Ace. There’s a Fenty Mattemoiselle shade that might be very similar to JV, maybe darker.
Such a beautiful shade! My fav is UD heroine
Wow you are the Queen of wearing blue the best. This is stunning on you @WinglessOne - love it. Actually I like the denim shade the best. How does colourpop wear.
Thanks @2manyperfumes! I’ve been very impressed with the ColourPop Lux creme and matte bullets since the first one I tried last year. I still think they’re worth 3x the price CP charges. I’ve worn many of the shades in this thread, including my favorite one, Getty, a dark teal cream finish. They’re comfy on the lips, most are creamy—even the mattes—and they wear down well throughout the day.
CP makes a version of Lux bullets called Lux Blur. They’re mattes with that soft blurred look I’m still on the fence about. I’ve worn one in this thread. It’s not as pigmented on the lips as it looks in the bullet, and the only way I can get a crisp outline is to use a liner with it. The Lux Blurs aren’t bad. You just need to have the right expectations of them before buying one.
Thank you for the info on them. I like all the colours you’ve worn from the CP line and waiting patiently for Ulta. 2020 🇨🇦 sigh. I want to try their single shadows as well. Love that blue. It’s perfect on you.
@2manyperfumes Ulta carries a VERY limited selection of Lux shades, unfortunately, and they’re not usually the “unconventional” shades. Right now they only have the Blur version of this line. I’d say order direct from ColourPop instead of waiting for Ulta to come to Canada, despite duty fees. I’ll be shocked if Ulta ever carries more than 10 Lux shades at a time. In fact, I’m not sure they’ve ever carried even that many. 😄
Oh good to know @WinglessOne . That’s too bad that they don’t carry more. I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and order directly. I also liked that NYX shade of blue as well. I’m going to have to check that out. I’ve been writing a list of all the shades and brands to try from this thread lol.
A bit of a repeat, but I wanted to do a better wear test on this one, without building it up in the beginning, and without touching it up.
TPSY Lip Dash Marker in Play House
The first pic is one coat (mostly...it's hard not to overlap or miss a spot when doing your lips with a skinny marker tip, so we'll call it 1.5 coats lol). The second pic is around 3 hours. I swear my camera tries to sabotage me; the fade in the middle wasn't nearly as extreme as the pic shows, nor were the lines near my corners so dark IRL...it was soft and subtle enough that I was extremely content with how it wore down. I didn't get a chance to take more pics after three hours, but the couple of chances I got to look in a mirror, the graceful fade continued, and never looked patchy or off kilter to me in any way.
I made no color touchups throughout the day, but was generous with balm as needed (and my balm always came back clean, so it didn't seem to be disturbing the color much, if at all) All in all, I'm impressed 👍
Lovin your whole look!!
