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.
Very beautiful, @2manyperfumes , as always! Ha ha! Isn't hard to go to a cosmetics store and not buy more stuff than intended! 😁 Did that for shoes the other day: I entered the store "just to take a look, because it just opened". Yeah right, I left with a pair of shoes. 🤦
The only store I’d be safe in is a hardware store lol @MlleJuju I’m the same way. I’ll actually stay in the car and wait to avoid shopping haaaa.
@2manyperfumes The hardware store : LOL. Same here 😆
@sprocketta I can’t locate pic of the new lippie?
@2manyperfumes @sprocketta This is the third thread I’ve seen something weird like this happen in the last couple weeks—unless you intentionally removed your photo @sprocketta, I don’t see it either. Aw, I wanna see! I know which shade that is though, so I can kinda imagine it on you. 🙂
MAC frosted lipstick in Spanish Fly. Where in the wide wide world of sports is the frost? I see a tad, but for some reason I expected a full-on 1970s assault. Was that the right decade? Am I dating myself? 😄
Awesome shade!!
Lol I see shimmer more than Frost @divaknits 😊 but it’s still nice. Yes the frost was I think the late 60s, 70s, gloss and metallics the 80s then hello mattes in the 90s (I’m trying to remember) but everything old is new again.
Thanks @2manyperfumes! It’s funny to me that MAC would call this a frost.
@divaknits Is Spanish Fly the one with a teal shift? There are 2 MAC Frost shades I always get confused and I think they’re both brown based with a shift. I see some teal in your photo and I like it!
Most of the MAC Frosts I’ve owned or swatched have more of a color shift and slightly metallic sheen than a full blown frost effect. Most of them are still pretty, though.
Thanks @WinglessOne ! There may be a bit of a teal shift. Now that you mention it I see what you’re talking about.
😂 @divaknits you look pretty, love all the bright colors on your top.
Thanks @Weetart! My former boss gave me the top along with some other clothes. Our styles are different, but I actually like the stuff she gave me. So many unique prints.
Lipstick Queen Hot Rose Sinner. Or more accurately, this is the shade Hot Rose from the Sinner line of lipsticks. Or completely accurately, this is yet another vibrant pink shade of lipstick I don’t need more of and should stop buying so much of but can’t resist.
Feels as comfy as my other LQ bullets. Applied easily. Bled a tiny bit at the corners at first, but after a quick cleanup I had no other bleeding/feathering issues. I’m wearing 2 coats in the above photo. Here’s how it all looked 2 hours, 2 cups of coffee, and 1 bottle of water later:
I still haven’t gone through my bold pinks for a focused declutter session. But I need too. Soon. 😂
Great colour!
Hah! @WinglessOne well it sounds like this one will make it through the pink decluttering. This challenge has made me realize I have way more nudes that are slight variations of each other than I care to admit and not nearly as many in the pink and red shades I love more than nudes. It’s madness.
@Weetart Welp, guess that means you’ll have to buy more lipsticks to correct this imbalance! 😄 It’s not addiction, it’s merely an attempt to bring more balance into your life!
/enabler mode
Wow what a pretty pink on you @WinglessOne 🥰👍 gorgeous as always love it.
"...this is yet another vibrant pink shade of lipstick I don’t need more of and should stop buying so much of but can’t resist"
That sounds exactly like my collection lololol
I swatched all of my pinks a few days ago, and was surprised not to find more dupes than I did. Granted, I didn't try very hard to match up shades...I went in no particular order, light pink swatched next to dark then next to medium, next to red-pink, next to berry, ok I guess I'll try this other light pink on the other end of my arm...nope, swear it's not similar to that other light pink way up there, ok now a bright one, hmmmm, it kinda looks like that other one over there, lemme swatch those together, oh hey, not a match after all...and so on. It was a mess lol, but a really pretty one by the time I finished.
I actually wound up tossing zero when I got done. I found two dupes of Revlon Cherries in the Snow (a Liptensity and a UD Vice), but I like all three formulas enough to keep 'em (push come to shove, UD would exit first, since Revlon has that classic nostalgia factor, and, well, come on, Liptensity...), and I found one other set of dang near perfect matches but couldn't tell you what they were anymore, though I'm pretty sure once again a Liptensity was involved.
I kinda felt like I was supposed to clear out a few by doing this, or that maybe this would make it easier to have a reason to clear a few more out...but it didn't work that way at all. I can't decide if that's good or bad. I was kinda looking forward to a little extra space to rationalize a few more purchases at some point 😛
I definitely had plenty that were close in shade, but of course as my dad says, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, so I considered all of those different enough to keep 😄
