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.
Thanks @sprocketta! I think there’s a unique shade for everyone. It’s just a matter of finding it.
@divaknits I can see why it was a hit! It works great with your undertone. Best of all, as bold as that shade is, it’s not wearing you; you’re wearing it. 🙂
Thanks @WinglessOne ! It’s been a while since I’ve worn an unusual shade so it’s a little weird for me. It started to grow on me the longer I wore it. I was just surprised people liked it so much.
Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Orange Adrenaline. Many oranges seem to have streaky application issues; this one’s no exception. Good thing it’s easy to blend out the streaks. This shade is weird on me: 2 coats looks semi-sheer at first, giving me that blurry undone lip look. A couple minutes later, the finish is much more opaque. Huh.
This is the first full size Rouge Interdit I’ve ever owned. The plastic packaging sure looks fancypants, but without being overly flashy. I haven’t swatched this shade against Lipstick Queen’s Jungle Queen yet, but it seems like a similar papaya orange. It feels fantastic when first applied: very emollient and comfy. Over time it gets slightly drying, especially after a cup or two of coffee on the go. Not uncomfortably drying, but enough to make me touch up—not to refresh the color so much as the comfort. I don’t think this lipstick’s worth its price tag. It should be in the $20-25 range instead. I do like it, though. I need to wear it a second time before deciding if I’m keeping it or not.
EDIT: I swatched Jungle Queen against Orange Adrenaline and nope, they’re not dupes. 😄 I added 2 brighter orange lipsticks for fun.
Thanks @melissabt ! The Poutsicles are super balmy and comfy. They’re a great purchase!
This looks lovely on you! 🧡
I've never ever considered orange to be a shade for me; it's one of my least favorite colors for anything, but you keep making it look wearable, so you wore me down lol. Went to the Ulta app to put Jungle Queen on my loves list, but it's gone from their site 😯 But maybe I'll keep an open mind and find an orange I like one day.
Thanks @RGbrown ! Orange is a very large color family, so there’s bound to be a shade that works for you. Orange includes yellow orange and marigold on the light end and red orange on the low end. Terra-cotta and papaya are well within that range; I think those shades in particular look great on pretty much anyone. 🙂 Oranger corals (vs. pinker corals) also qualify. I hope you get to try Jungle Queen someday, but there are plenty of other shades to choose from. 🧡
wow, this orange is pretty on you! Pretty. To describe an orange. Who knew?! It is so fresh and pretty on you. @WinglessOne
🧡🧡
It's a made-for-you shade. Very pretty. (This coming from someone who would not wear orange as a main colour in clothes nor in makeup lol) @WinglessOne
The depths of your collection never fail to amaze me @WinglessOne You ALWAYS have a couple more lipsticks in related shades. I don't know how you keep track of so many, much less the 5 or 6 you swatch on your hand. I get 3 shades on my hand and then it's, ummm, which one was this? When I was at Sephora Saturday I was swatching different shades of PMG Luxe Trance on my hand and was losing track. Personally I think you and @RGbrown are the queens of lipstick on BIC. You probably have the largest collection I have heard of. Hers must be at least 200. I'm off on a total tangent, but I just love talking lipstick with you ladies.
I'm around 185, with a few more purchases from Lipstick Day still to test and decide on. I'm a small fry compared to several folks 😂
Not gonna count my declutter box though...there's definitely over 100 there, if not 200 or more. 😮
Thanks so much @sprocketta ! ☺️ Honestly, I sometimes lose track while swatching. It usually happens when I swatch one or more new lipsticks against a bunch I already own, because I’m not nearly as familiar with the newcomers yet. For the MAC Love Me swatches I did last night, I waited til I was done before jotting down all the shade names in Notes, but I couldn’t remember which pink was which so I had to reswatch those. 😂
I bet @heartsmyface has a bigger collection than I do, especially since I’ve decluttered so many lipsticks. 🙂 I’m afraid to do a recount of mine but yeah, it’s over 200. I hope it’s well under 300. My starting count was over 400, which I didn’t realize until I found an old shoebox of makeup including more lipsticks. I’m still decluttering, so I really should count everything again soon.
