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.
@sprocketta Point taken. Sorry if I caused any offense; that wasn’t my intent.
@WinglessOne sorry, that came out b*tchier than intended. I guess you know lipstick means a lot when you can feel that strongly about lipstick preferences. Hugs.
@WinglessOne I’m loving the shimmer in this one!!
Thank you @ather @curlychiquita @2manyperfumes !
Gorgeous shade and what a sheen ❤️ Definitely a keeper @WinglessOne
Flesh Strong Flesh Lipstick in Siren
Out of my Lipstick Day order, this was the one I had the highest hopes for, but I also knew it was the one mostly likely to disappoint. It is the most perfect shade of dark purple I think I've ever seen, but sadly, like many purples, application is beastly. It goes on patchy from the beginning and never really evens out fully. Once I get it as even as it's gonna get, the second I relax my lips from smile mode, I've got stripes in my lip lines. I've tried it bare lipped, with balm, with Mac prep+prime, and even with a black base, but nothing has made a difference. 😥
Other than pigment, the formula for this line doesn't seem too bad. It's billed as satin, and while it's definitely not quite as creamy as I'd like, it's a far cry from matte. If I were interested in any of their other shades, I'd give them another chance...purples are hard for dang near everyone, and don't always represent how the rest of a line performs.
The look on your face says it all @RGbrown I also find the name of that brand unappealing.
Sorry this didn’t work out well @RGbrown . The color is divine.
@RGbrown sad day 😞 too bad this one didn’t work out.
Boo, you can definitely see the lines even in the pictures. Bummer, @RGbrown.
Aww that’s too bad @RGbrown 😢 it’s a beautiful deep purple and I find that with blackened reds too sometimes. The colour is great on you though 🥰
@RGbrown Aw, I was interested in that one too but didn’t buy; sorry to hear it’s so problematic. I don’t think I’ve tried any Flesh lipsticks. Will try to remember to swatch some during my next Ulta visit, if they’re sold in-store. Anyway, the color’s fantastic!
TBH, the brand name itself kinda creeps me out. The word flesh only has two major uses in my mind...either talking about cannibalism or as used on Cinemax After Dark, so I've avoided the brand completely. 🤣
I am very sad about this one since the color is simply amazing, but I also knew there was a good chance it would fail. I'm not completely sad I tried it, but I almost wish I had just played it safe and picked up a UD lip instead, since they were about the same price that day. Oh well...it wouldn't be a normal haul for me if I didn't have something to toss immediately 😂
I didn’t wear this all day—in fact, I only wore this for an hour this morning before wiping it off to do my AM shower and skincare routine. 😄 I didn’t wear any makeup afterward since I’ve stayed home all day, resting my knee and ankle. But I used 2 shades I haven’t worn yet in this thread (plus 2 shades I’ve worn before), so...
The black is an outline of Bite pencil in 56 and a base coat of MAC Liptensity in Stallion (a repeat shade for this thread). It’s ombred with MAC Matte in Deep Rooted (repeat shade), MAC Matte in Frosting (new for this thread), and Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Sheer in Silver Metamorphose (new for this thread).
@WinglessOne I love the way you made this look. It’s so pretty!! Oh no how did you hurt yourself?? Your really just having a rough time 😞
Thanks @ather ! My ankle’s had problems for decades; it gives out on me sometimes. And I’ve been nursing a bad knee for months. I pulled the LCL in that knee last year, then I fell and landed hard on that knee a few months later. It’s been super cranky ever since, and I’m trying to convince myself to have a doctor look at it again. Meanwhile I just RICE it once in a while. 😄 I’m ridiculously stubborn and anxious about going to docs for injuries.
@WinglessOne oh no. That sounds terrible. Hopefully it feels better soon. Positive vibes!! 😋
Great job on the ombré lips @WinglessOne ❤️ Really like those shades and deep rooted 👍 might have to swatch that shade next time I pop into MAC.
