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 really need to do a second round myself. I've got it down to "I like everything I have", but I still have sooooo freaking many, including multiple dupes of several shades, that I should go through again and be a little more cutthroat. Get it down to a collection of "True Loves". It gets so hard when everything is already a like though.
Guilt is hard to overcome, whether over the money wasted or the product wasted. I try to frame it as a learning experience instead, ie "now I know I don't like this, and I won't make that mistake again". While I may have wasted something in the process, I know I can do better going forward. And forcing yourself to use up something you hate is just bad juju. I've hate panned a few things myself, and there are some things I can tolerate more than others, but if it just doesn't work, sometimes it just has to go. 😊
So true @RGbrown. I've got to get over the guilt and stop forcing myself to hate pan things. I'll be moving next year and can't wait to reorganize my things. Hopefully that will be the motivation I need to declutter. Good luck to you on your decluttering!
You spoke my thoughts exactly @ShortErica! I do have a question for you @RGbrown . On your lips the color appears to me as a pinkish red. I need to see your thoughts.
I wouldn't call it pinkish at all IRL (my camera just sucks 😋). If anything, it's almost orangeish, but not really. When I swatch it alone, it just looks like a soft red to me, but when I throw some pinky red and warmer reds around that swatch, the "hint of orange" shows up more. I hate to call it an orange red because I don't see the orange much at all on it's own, but it's definitely not a pinky red either.
Left: CT Kissing in So Marilyn (warm red, brownish undertones)
Center, top to bottom: MAC Liptensity in Mulling Spices (fruit punch red? Rich red that leans pinkish), Gucci Goldie Red, Ulta Red Carpet Red (very berry/pinky red)
Right: TPSY Absoliptly in Cherry On Top (closer to a true red)
Thank you for the comparison @RGbrown. It is very helpful. I am swimming in lipsticks at the moment. When I received my PMG order I had a cold so I am only trying them now. I purchased 26 lipsticks from PMG.
@RGbrown Gorgeous!!! I need to get this one!!
@RGbrown YESSSS! This looks great on you! Love the color, love the finish, love your description 🙂
@RGbrown ,
This lipstick looks beautiful and sounds great in your review!
You look so nice in bright shades @RGbrown I love this on you! Lucky you to get it free too, happy for you! I bought a few (which killed me lol) when they just came out and they are sooo good I agree! I love Louisa and Ivy for deeper reds and Myra which is similar to this maybe a bit less bright. The new Mats are great also btw. So light yet great pigment. Enjoy your goodies!
Thanks so much! I might have gone and put a few more shades on my loves list 🤭
Lol @RGbrown our ever growing lists right?! 🤣
You’ve got me interested @RGbrown ❤️ I’ve been given some amazing and free products that I’m in love with and grateful since I couldn’t afford the full retail price. This sounds very good👍 It looks great on you, love when the stars align.
