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.
It's a lovely shade on you! They want to see because the unconventional ones look gorgeous on you 🙂 @divaknits
@divaknits This is gorgeous! Teal is such a great lip color. 🙂
Love the mermaid sea green lipstick with the smoky eye combo. It looks great on you. <333
Thanks @lmaster !
Urban Decay Vice Lip Chemistry Lasting Glassy Tint In Overload. This is a glossy transformer (reacts to pH) stain that’s supposed to feel like a lightweight, non-sticky balm and last for hours. It does change color: it starts as a mustardy mud tint and transforms within 3-5 minutes to what you see in my photo. That’s 2.5 coats on both lips. The extra coats were necessary to cover all the patchiness.
So, transformer? Check. Glassy? Check. It does feel very lightweight, so... check. Balmy and non-sticky? Eh, not exactly. For the first 30 minutes of wear, it wasn’t sticky at all: I kept smacking my lips together and felt no tackiness. And it was comfy, though not what I’d call “balm like.” But things changed after those 30 minutes. It turned kinda sticky and not quite drying, just weirdly annoying—and that was before I ate or drank anything.
What made me wanna remove it, though, was the taste. It didn’t taste like much until around that 30 minute mark. Then it tasted bitter, like the stuff my mother made me wear to stop my nail biting habit when I was a kid. 🤢 I could taste it through coffee. When my delicious smoked chicken wings came with a healthy dose of bitter lip tint, I said “screw it, this stuff’s gotta go” and wiped it off. Thankfully the taste didn’t stay on my lips once the tint was gone.
Oh, and about the patchiness: here’s how my lips looked 2.5 hours after application, 1 cup of coffee, and 1 smoked chicken wing. Not the most graceful wearing.
So yeah, UD Lip Chemistry is a no-go. Maybe other shades perform better, but I’ll never know. I won’t give another one a chance.
That’s too bad because colour wise it’s a wow 😍 @WinglessOne but gag if it’s bitter that’s a deal breaker.
Thanks @2manyperfumes Yeah, gross taste + ugly weardown = nope.
Such a shame, @WinglessOne , it's a beautiful shade.
Thanks @Girly2Shoes @divaknits @l8totheparty ! I think Lancôme L’absolu Lacquer in Enchantment is very close to this shade, and I know it performs WAAAAY better, so it’s not a total loss. 🙂 I’m gonna return this UD Lip Chemistry to Ulta soon.
This sounds horrible @WinglessOne. Too bad because the shade’s pretty.
Urban Decay Vice in Firebird (cream)
I gave up fighting @WinglessOne's continual warnings that this one is a bleeder...couldn't help it with such a gorgeous color 😂 And she's right, it is, but I managed to keep it to a bearable minimum by underfilling my lower lip a bit. It bled just right to fill in completely after an hour or so, and there have been almost no wayward streaks beyond my lip lines (and the few that have appeared have been tiny and easy to clean up). And I haven't noticed any bleeding at all on the top lip, which pleases me greatly 😁
I'd actually classify the formula of this one as closer to UD's "sheer" line. Many of their sheers aren't sheer at all (like this one), but it's a lighter formula than their creams, almost balm like. It's quite comfy, at least for a while, but the lightness of it allows my lips to dry out on their own a little quicker than a thicker cream would. After around three hours I had to add a little balm on top, and was happy to find that it didn't seem to accelerate any bleeding, nor did it disturb the color much at all. Repeated balm applications will wear it down quicker, of course, but I don't much mind that.
This is my final lipstick for this thread (yet again 😂)...hopefully I'll be good til Xmas or so, but I'm sure I'll be back before then 😋 My complete list is in the spoiler below!
