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.
Lipstick no. 278: Lisa Eldridge Baume Embrace Melting Lip Colour shade Red Curve.
A new release Iโm surprised I jumped on, since I usually opt for full opacity bullets. True to its name, this is a tinted balm thatโs very comfy on my lips. No Aquaphor needed underneath. Moderately glossy at application with no bleeding, feathering, streaking, or gumming up. Has kind of a typical vanilla scent that disappears right after application. Truly sheer color that can be built up to, eh, almost what I consider demi-sheer. Red Curve wears down about as quickly (and in as many scenarios) as youโd expect a tinted balm to, so expect to reapply a few times throughout the day. It does leave a slight tint behind on my lips with no dryness. And the thin bullet shape makes this an easy longterm purse/bag dweller. Despite having many reds, I actually donโt have many sheer reds, so I wonโt beat myself up too much for buying this one.
The balm sounds fabulous @WinglessOne, and looks great on you. Not to take away from the tinted lip balm, but one of my favorite things was reading that you didn't have to make any adjustments to account for the lighting. ๐
Thanks @itsfi ! And yeah, itโs always surprising to find good lighting my phoneโs camera will translate to photos. Lighting is the most important aspect of photography, though for most of my BIC photos Iโm not aiming for magazine-ready shots. ๐ But when I find a magical light source, I try to take advantage. Even now Iโm thinking โhow ticked off would other people in my building be if I held the service elevator [the one with the great lighting] for, I dunno, half an hour just for a photo shoot?โ ๐คฃ
Thank you @lmaster, @Mellmars1185, @CynthieLu, @Cissy63, @peculiarzmakeup, and @Sunnysmom (I bought 2 shades for scientific research ๐ )!
@WinglessOne This shade looks gorgeous on you! I have been into tinted balms lately. I feel like I can apply them so easily during the day. Great buy โค๏ธ
You've found yourself a sheer winner by the sounds of it @WinglessOne hurray! ๐
I loved hearing that this balm didn't take any extra steps to keep your lips hydrated. ๐ This was a good find!
@WinglessOne This is a lovely shade and depth of color for a balm. Your terrific detail makes it more attractive to me ๐
So glad to hear your thoughts on these @WinglessOne ! I didnโt pick any up yet because of the sheer factor as well. Good to know! They look very comfy and this is beautiful on you!
Beautiful lip wear! I love this shade on you! ๐ @WinglessOne
9/100
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Pillow Talk Lipstick & Liner Set Pillow Talk Medium
โ
Even though itโs a matte lipstick itโs not drying and it goes on smoothly!
I love CT Pillow Talk Medium - it's giving a beautiful my-lips-but-better look on you. I love the mini set but you should definitely consider picking up full sizes of both! Very pretty.
This is so pretty and natural on you @Cissy63 ! Cute kit!
@Cissy63 Such a beautiful pairing on you! ๐๐
I love this lip wear on you! Stunning CT makes awesome kits ๐ @Cissy63
Thank you @peculiarzmakeup ๐. Yes they do! Itโs smaller in quantity, but then it gets used up more often so I can pick up a different shade ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
