100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

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 @tsavorite! โฃ๏ธ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

I really like this shade on you @RGbrown ๐Ÿฅฐ gorgeous shade kind of smoky and definitely a keeper 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@2manyperfumes 

Thanks so much! ๐Ÿ’–

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

That shade looks fantastic @RGbrown!

@faeriegirl 

Thanks so much! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

 

ugh Iโ€™m so tempted to break my no buy and Iโ€™m only five days into my renewed lipstick challenge.  I already caved and bought some Lisa Eldridge lipsticks the other day so I have to behave (plus I have no more lipstick slots in my lippy drawers) @RGbrown   It looks pretty on you!  

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@heartsmyface 

Stay strong! After this round came in, I discovered I had to declutter some to fit the new ones in my containers (or else break out a new bin, which I'm trying to stay strong about not doing), so I'm done buying for a while too! In the end, we both have way more than we can ever use before they go bad anyways...I'm trying to remind myself of that again. It's tough though! 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@RGbrown   Right!! Okay this is exactly what I needed.  A good pep talk and someone to tell me how it is!  I eventually want to get down to one drawer of lipsticks but thatโ€™s a pipe dream right now. lol,  Iโ€™m on day 5 of 540sh lipsticks.  ๐Ÿคข. Thisโ€™ll take a while but iโ€™m hoping to also declutter some as I go. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@heartsmyface 

540??? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I'm a little jealous, but couldn't even begin to imagine having that many to go through...it actually gives me a little anxiety. I'm floating around 180ish and don't want to get too many more; that's roughly twice a year per lippie if I'm good about rotating and wear one every day. I try and make that my sobering thought every time a want a new one (but it all goes out the window when Ulta has a 20% and I have points to burn, which is what happened with this haul...I have a hard time turning down "free" even when I have too much as it is lol)

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Nah donโ€™t be jealous.  Itโ€™s sobering all right.  Haha, i switch up my lipstick a two or three times a day in reality so it does get used...just not as often as it should.    Yeah thereโ€™s no way of rationalizing it.  I need to do a purge and at least get down to two drawers.  I know I can probably off a bunch of liquid lipsticks in a heartbeat and not feel a thing cause I know I have more comfortable dupes.  @RGbrown 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

On the weekends I sometimes do 2 lipsticks in one day ๐Ÿ™‚ @heartsmyface @RGbrown I have a hard time not buying. ๐Ÿ˜ž I know I have a lot and when I think of the old lipsticks, I dont want to wear them either. I guess that is a sign to throw it away. But then I dont want to, cuz i did spend the $$ on them and need to finish them ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@heartsmyface 

Ok you're way ahead of me there. I'm doing good if I remember to apply lipstick once...forget changing it up throughout the day lol. 

 

Liquids were the first things I ditched the first time around; mattes make me wanna cry nowadays, and most glosses got dumped too because I just don't wear them often. Pulling a few out yesterday was a bit tougher since I've been through everything and decided I liked what was left...so now I'll have to make myself think long and hard about new purchases and make sure any new lippies are worthy of tossing out something I know I like. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@RGbrown   But thatโ€™s a good thing that you like everything you have!!!  Isnโ€™t that the ultimate goal? The tricky thing is trying to replace the shopping high with something else.  Ha, Iโ€™ve been working out whenever I get the itch to shop. Itโ€™s soooorta working but thereโ€™s only so much my muscles can take.  Itโ€™s not so much the FOMO thatโ€™s my problem as it is night boredom.  

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@heartsmyface 

Yeah, that's kinda the crux of my problem; I really enjoy trying new formulas and finding new loves, but I'm out of room, so every buy means something has to go. "What if I love this one more" is what I have a hard time talking myself down from lately. I also need to remember that for every two new lippies I buy, I'll probably only like one (if any), so there's a good bit of waste involved. 

 

I think what I really need to tackle soon is doing shade comparisons, seeing how many dupes I have of certain shades and deciding which formulas are my faves for each. While I do like everything I have, there are still degrees of like vs love...I mean, if I have a Liptensity and an Ulta lipstick that wind up being super close, I'll toss the Ulta one in a heartbeat. So there's still a little wiggle room for me to maybe clear some more out and make a bit of room for shopping ๐Ÿคฃ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@RGbrown This formula looks so nice! Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Best,

Rebecca

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @RebeccaBT! โฃ๏ธ

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@RGbrown  Heh, this is the shade I almost bought. I wore the one I chose instead today. ๐Ÿ™‚ It looks great on you! My experience was slightly different than yours, but overall Iโ€™m happy and will probably buy another one. 

 

EDIT: I never trust Ultaโ€™s product descriptions, so I always check out a brandโ€™s direct site before ordering from Ulta. I also always do that for new-to-me brands like Uoma. Thatโ€™s how I knew these bullets werenโ€™t matte finish. ๐Ÿ™‚ Uoma does have a matte line of bullets that Iโ€™m tempted to try now. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne 

Can't wait to hear about your experience...I'm definitely curious (especially since I went ahead and just put alllllll the colors of these on my loves list lol)

 

I checked out Uoma's site pretty heavily for swatches since there are practically zero to be found anywhere else, but I can't remember now what the description said. Maybe it's what convinced me to go ahead and order blindly with a little less worry lol. But yeah, the fact that the only other bullet they make is matte had me vaguely concerned that these might be a matte base as well. I was thrilled when they weren't! 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Hi @RGbrown ,

 

I really like this deep berry shade on you. It looks so pretty! 

 

Best Wishes,
