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.
Interesting, @2manyperfumes I hope to hit Sephora on Saturday.
Iโll share my pics when my online orders come in - happy shopping at Sephora ๐๐
Great list!! Velvet teddy is such an awesome shade!! One of my favs!!!
Great list of shades from MAC @Girly2Shoes ๐ . Iโm going to see what Iโve collected over the years too ๐
Too Faced Melted Matte in Gingerbread Man. I know I know... but I couldn't help myself when I saw they were reissued. Lasted through drinking water and a snickers ice cream cone.
Great shade!!!
I love it and itโs smell so good lol. I have it too - couldnโt resist. It looks fantastic on you. What a rich colour โค๏ธ๐
This is pretty on you! Bold colour. Nice snag when it's been reissued. @Weetart
Thanks @l8totheparty ! And smells so yummy
Guerlain Rouge G in 111, worn over a full base coat of Bite pencil in 052 (which is basically Bite Amuse Bouche Kale in pencil form) because today I wanted something greener than Kale but not quite as green as 111 is alone.
Endearing story behind this lipstick:
One day I visited my local Nordstrom looking for this shade, having talked myself out of buying it many times before. The friendly young SAโletโs just call him Jโopened the Rouge G drawer at the Guerlain counter but couldnโt find 111. He looked in another drawer. Then another. Then he went online via his phone to see if this shade was still available via the Nordy app; it wasnโt. ๐ I missed my chance to buy it! Tragedy!
While J had the app open, he searched for other green lipsticks Nordstrom carries. There werenโt any. He recommended some brands not sold by Nordstrom on a โyou didnโt hear this from meโ basis. ๐ Then he apologized and rang up my other purchases, and that was that. Or was it?
The next day, I got voicemail and a text from J. Heโd gone into Nordy inventory online that morning to search for my green Guerlain, and he found a handful of them at 2 different Nordstrom locations! He offered to place an order for me and of course I didnโt turn him down. I hadnโt asked him the day before to keep looking, and he hadnโt indicated he would. I thought Iโd missed out and didnโt think heโd even remember me, let alone continue the hunt for me. What kind of SA does this for a customer he just met? A Nordstrom SA, thatโs who. J is a prime example of one of many reasons why I shop at Nordstrom. ๐

Great story, @WinglessOne . I had one SA that that gave me a makeover after other counters told her not to do me. I told her that although her line was very expensive, I'd buy from her because of her service.
You can't beat customer service.
@Girly2Shoes Iโm glad you found a great SA to help you! Customer service is still the number one purchase driver for many folks, and it really doesnโt take much to make a customer feel appreciated. Something as simple but hugely meaningful as ignoring other rude SAs to do for a customer what other SAs should be willing to do for ANY customerโthatโs the kind of service that deserves more of our business. โค๏ธ
That was back in the day when it wasn't common for a guy to try on makeup in a store, and to get ears pierced. Was given lots of grief in stores then, still do in some places, @WinglessOne .
Thankfully, on here I've been treated well.
Iโm so sorry to hear that your still not sleeping. Such a frustrating issue to deal with. Loving the lippie choice!
Thank you @ather โค๏ธ This is the worst longterm bout of insomnia Iโve had since my college days. Iโve been so stressed out and overwhelmed by a string of bad events, and my bodyโs paying the price. But Iโm trying everything within reason (for me) to break this sleepless cycle. Hoping for consistent sleep soon!
@WinglessOne I am so sorry to hear youโve been having such a string of bad things. Iโm sure things will get better soon! I have had my struggles and when I would say things couldnโt get worse some how they always did. And after that I always said things will get better and after awhile they did. I really hope things get better for you! You always look like you are so put together and happy I would have never thought anything of it. I deal with insomnia when I am stressed as well and Iโm sure you have heard every piece of advice out there. I use lush sleepy lotion before bed and it always helped me get a good nights sleep. Not sure if itโs a placebo effect but it worked. Really hope things start to turn around for you!!
