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.
Thanks so much! But yeah, the scent is a shame ๐ฅ
Never tried the Balm before because it wasnโt readily available in my area. Now both drugstores carry it. So Iโm really liking their liquid lipstick formula (hours later my lips are not parched), plus I love their brow pencil. Iโve been trying to find more affordable options since I use a brow pencil daily and not all shades or formulas are to my liking. This one ๐. I picked up just one shade called Dedicated from the Balm and itโs great, goes on evenly and light. No crackling or peeling. Testing it out to see how it wears all day.
@2manyperfumes Iโm glad you like the Meet Matt(e) Hughes lipsticks! I had 5 of them at one point, including Dedicated, but decluttered them last year. For folks who love liquid mattes and rarely have issues with the resulting dryness, these are a good bargain. ๐ Dedicated looks great on you.
Thank you @WinglessOne I did cave half way through my day and add some lip balm to make it comfortable. So many customers talking to them dried out my lips.
That shade looks great on you @2manyperfumes!
Trying to post different photos in various lipstick/looks threads. ๐ This is Lipstick Queen Rear View Mirror Lip Lacquer in Magenta Fully Loaded.
Iโve wanted to try one of these Rear View Mirrors since LQ launched them. I finally used one of my Ulta 20% coupons to get one. Itโs a thin click-up style tube and the lipstick isnโt retractable. Luckily thereโs plenty of space in the cap to avoid squishing the clicked-up product.
Itโs very comfy, almost balm like at first. It stays comfy throughout the day, though it loses some of its creamy feel. It feels a little tacky as it wears down. It does stay shiny though. Holds up well against several cups of coffee. A meal obliterates all but the outline, but thatโs no surprise. I might buy another of these to try, if thereโs a shade I canโt dupe in my collection.

Wow ๐ฒ that is a killer gorgeous bright shade on you @WinglessOne โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ love it. @RGbrown Might fall in love with this shade ๐
Thanks @2manyperfumes ! Itโs brighter than I expected ๐ but I love it.
Yup, I'm falling head over heels for it ๐
That's some hella pigment for a balm type lippie; not at all what I imagined these would be, and now I'm gonna have to add one to my loves list for my own testing at some point. Dangit ๐คฃ
I thought cleaning out my collection and realizing I have every shade I want (along with repeat after repeat) would help me scale back and stop buying. But I'm finding that I still really enjoy trying new formulas, even if the colors are already in my collection. ๐คฆ
@RGbrown Heh, I thought these would be more like mid-opaque shiny balms. The pigmentation was a pleasant surprise!
And yeah, thatโs partly what continues to feed my lipstick addiction: the urge to try new products I might like more than dupes I already have, and being able to give other folks feedback on them. Friends and family often ask me for lipstick recommendations, so naturally I have to try new things. For their sake, you see. Not for myself, noooo, not at all... ๐คฃ
I need to convince myself to use the new-and-better lipsticks as true replacements of older ones. When I find a better formulated plum-berry dupe of MAC Rebel, I should declutter Rebel. I probably wonโt ditch lipsticks that are less than a year old (โDude, I JUST bought this shade last month and now Iโve found an even better dupe?!โ) but for things like Rebel that Iโve had for who knows how long, I gotta push myself to let โem go. Then I wonโt feel so crazy about constantly trying new things.
73- Loreal Jennifer Nude -370.
I like it @Samtian ๐๐ฅฐ I recently swatched it - Loreal nudes are pretty darn good just st wish they would change or soften the perfume smell to vanilla or caramel berries lol
New shade from Milk. Iโve never tried their lip vinyls before so I only bought one. It wears down beautifully and leaves a stain. Very shiny and moisturizing. The shade I picked was Facts.
