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.
I started my day wearing Pat McGrath BlitzTrance in Rebel Red. It’s more pink strawberry toned in person than it looks in this photo.
This is one of the original BlitzTrance shades. It comes in this version and a crazy sparklier Starglaze version I don’t have. This version’s shiny enough for me in person. The pink and red sparkle don’t appear well in that photo. When I compare the new BlitzTrances to the original ones, I think the new ones are creamier. I still love Rebel Red, but it can apply a bit patchy and requires some evening out. You’ll have glitter all over your chin after you wipe it off at the end of the day which, for some folks, is not a bad thing. 😄 ✨
An hour ago, I decided to test a new-to-me liquid matte: Black Moon Black Metals in Castle.
I’ve wanted a good gunmetal lipstick for years. I’ve also stalked Black Moon’s lipsticks for a year now, I think. I didn’t use a lip liner tonight, but I did use my balm + lip primer prep for liquid mattes. So far, Castle feels very comfy and lightweight. Doesn’t feel like I’ve got sand glued to my lips. I haven’t put this lipstick to the meal test; I’ve just been drinking water while wearing it for the last hour and it’s held up fine. I have 2 other Black Moon lipsticks to try, but first I want to give this one a true full day test to see if it stays this comfy long term.
Love them both!! So different yet so fun!!
Love them both on you @WinglessOne 😍 beautiful shades. I’ve been stalking Black Moon Cosmetics for a year now. So glad to see one on this thread.
Thanks @2manyperfumes ! Black Moon is sold in at least 2 local stores here (Riley Rose and, very recently, one of the Ulta locations), so I’ve been able to stalk a small selection of their stuff in person. I haven’t been wowed by their eyeshadows, but the liquid matte lipsticks are very pretty. 🙂
I agree about the eyeshadows @WinglessOne - just like their liquid lipstick shades. Have you seen their eye toppers (liquid eyeshadows)? Or highlighters?
@2manyperfumes I haven’t seen their liquid shadows in person. But the last time I was at Riley Rose, I swatched all their highlighters and wow, talk about a light show! 🤩 I wanted to buy 4 of them but talked myself out of them, since I was already taking a chance on the LA Splash lipstick I bought instead. Plus, I kept asking myself “be honest: when and where will you wear some of these?” Especially about Glow Worm which is a beautiful crazy neon citron beam. There’s no way to tone that one down. 🤣 My brain was in full raven mode for a few minutes, mesmerized by the swatches on my hand, wanting to collect all the pretty shinies.
Next time I’m at that store, I’ll take a picture of swatches and will probably bring a highlighter home with me.
Ooh I’d be in a trance too. Lol 😂 there’s a blue possibly squid? And that darn glow worm that I obsessed over haaa. If you check their site it comes in this wonderful moon globe container. I did like the shades and you can get their lippies in that globe. I think they have themes nudes, reds, etc. There’s two gorgeous greens one is called mermaider? And a red called Armageddon lol. Good for you it’s hard to talk ourselves out of stuff. I’m the worse - MAC 40% sale got me on the weekend. I talked myself out of a yellow lipstick lol. I was going to use it as a toopercto shift some of my browns and nudes. I don’t need it. Baby Bat girl online has interesting and unique lipstick shades. ascension and Citrine were just some of them. They recently had a 30% off with code but I refrained. Just to spend it at Sephora on the Impulsive palette. I also swatched the new violet Voss palette with the top row of glitter 👍👍 but thankfully they were sold out so it didn’t end up in my basket. Phew
@WinglessOne, I thought about BlitzTrance in Rebel Red, but my local store doesn't have PMG, and by "local", in mean 45 min away. I just am not sure how the color will look on me. It looks good on you in your picture!
Thanks @curlychiquita ! Are there any shades kinda similar to Rebel Red (pinky reds, strawberry reds, even a ruby red for shade range comparison) you do like on you? If I have any of them, I can swatch-compare them against Rebel Red for you. 🙂
I love your hair, your brows, and especially the Pat Mcgrath Rebel Red!
I'm always impressed by your lipstick shade choices. They never fail to impress me and I love how your personality comes through. <333
