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.
I love the result! Beautiful color and shine!
Well, I found one I hadn’t worn. It’s an ABH liquid lipstick. Sad thing is I don’t remember what color it is, and I’m not at a place where I can find it. It was another hit at work. It’s like they can’t wait to see what Mrs. divaknits will wear next. 😄 They get a kick out of the unconventional choices. That’s my coworkers and the customers.
This is a great blue on you @divaknits love it and how much fun to know that your colleagues and customers look forward to see what you’re wearing each day ❤️
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.
