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 shimmer to it with a bit of gold reflect in it @l8totheparty 🥰 very pretty.
MAC Liptensity in Eros. I applied this as a stain—outlined both lips, applied a full coat to one lip, then rubbed lips together for stain-like coverage—which I rarely do, but today I wanted to tone down the bright pink a bit.
Such a pretty pink!
This is a Saturday afternoon tea and a shopping trip lippie. Its pretty on you 💗😊 @WinglessOne
Very beautiful pink @WinglessOne 👍🤩 you look good in so many different shades. I agree your skin is wonderful 🥰
Your skin is beautiful! Do you have any tips for someone in their late 20’s?
Aw, thanks @Didimimilili ! ☺️ My biggest skincare tip, regardless of skin type: SUNSCREEN. At least SPF 30, and don’t rely solely on the SPF found in any makeup (like foundation). Wear sunscreen every day. All year. Even on overcast days. I rarely used sunscreen in my teens and 20s, which is why I’m now using 2 OTC retinol products (a full face serum and an eye serum) in my late 40s to reverse some dark patches caused by sun damage.
Other than that? Make sure at least 1 or 2 of your skincare products contain a good mix of antioxidants (vitamins C, E, etc.; green/black/white tea; niacinamide; ferulic acid; there are lots to choose from, including retinol) for extra environmental pollution protection and other benefits. Peptides will help your skin build proteins behind the scenes and amplify the effects of your other skincare products. Avoid products that contain high amounts of alcohol and added fragrance/perfume. Exfoliate at least once a week (physical is okay if done gently; chemical—AHA/BHA—is the better option for me) to keep your pores clear of dead skin cells. Use a non-drying cleanser and never skip moisturizer. And when in doubt, ask a dermatologist or medical aesthetician. 🙂
Yas!! Thank you so much for being so detailed!
Great lip and I love how your blush choice complements your pink lip perfectly! <333
Ladies has anyone tried B’elegant Cosmetics lippies? I love their unique shades and they are having a BOGO sale? I’ve picked up the marigold by KVD which just launched.
@2manyperfumes Nope, I’ve never tried anything by B’elegant. I see they have a couple of yellow liquid mattes... I wish they had a yellow liquid satin. I’ll be glad when brands (including indie brands) stop focusing so much on liquid mattes and bring a wider color range to satins, be they liquid or bullet. Sigh... Anyway, if you get a couple of their lipsticks, let us know how they perform! 🙂
I feel the same way @WinglessOne I’m not always happy with the liquid lip formulas and wish they gave both options. I ordered the marigold shade by KVD because it’s in a bullet. A similar shade by Necromancy in Solis Mortem is in a bullet too. I’m going to try the KVD one. I’ve bern reading reviews on the B’Elegant and the colours are beautiful but the formula is good to meh depending on who reviews them. Necromancy has been getting consistently good reviews for their unique shades, rich pigment and price point. I always look for dupes as well from brands like NYX and the Sephora brand. Sometimes MAC will do a similar shade and I saw that Smashbox had some unique grey blues. Bite has the blackened violet and Kale. A part of me loves the indies but I tend to prefer the eye shadows from them and mainstream for lipsticks. Of course there are bigger indies like JSC, CP, Melt, DOC and Sugarpill that are good. Menagerie use to be Makeup Monsters and their liquid lipsticks are great. Wish they would come up with more shades. It’s the exchange rate and having to spend a certain amount for free international shipping that keeps me from ordering many times. Depending on their delivery I get hit with duties.
Awesome picture!!
