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 so much!
Yes, definitely brighter than I thought. The description for this color was something like "bright pink-red", but I'm not seeing the red really at all. It's definitely got a white base that brightens the pink, and almost the barest hint of...coral? Grapefruit? Something that keeps if from being just a straight bright pink. I really like it, even though it's not quite what I was expecting.
I think in the long run, I like the Lancome formula better. I dunno if that's just "first love loyalty" yet, but I like the high gloss finish, and I thiiiink Lancome may be a touch more comfy for me. Today was also a terrible lip day in general...I've been gnawing at them like crazy all afternoon, so today's wear test is pretty much shot. No feathering or bleeding though, so that's a good sign. Will have to try again (and I'm looking forward to that soon!)
So this is a special color for me. When I first started getting into any bold color years ago, this was one of my first, and my first red.
Day 6: MAC Russian Red
@lnum That's a great color on you, a very nice red. I think everyone should at least try a red. I remember my first one. I went to the Clinique counter at Macy's (I wore mostly Clinique and hadn't gone to Sephora yet) and told the person there I wanted a RED but needed help picking one. Clinique Cherry Pop is a great red, if you need one. But clearly you don't, you've got it covered. Shout out for your outfit coordination here, I do the same thing.
@sprocketta Thank you for the recommendation and sharing your story. O used to have a lot of self-esteem issues and so taking a step into bold makeup really changed the way I viewed my own self-image. I actually love the Clinique cheek pops and think I own grape pop lipstick, so I’ll remember to check that one out.
@lmaster Thank you!
@Anonymous Thank you!
Perfect pairing with that shirt @lnum! Your lips look so nice and smooth and the red is so flattering.
@ShortErica Thank you! The formula is a little drying so I definitely did a lot of lip scrubbing and balm for this one.
@lnum This was my first lipstick! Love Russian Red.
@Weetart Right? Feel like so many of us started with this gem.
@lnum definitely! I think I still have the first tube I bought. Going to the hoarding bin... found it and the diva which was my third lipstick. I sorta miss the old tube design.
@Weetart Ah blast from the past totally forgot they looked like that!
@divaknits Thank you! It’s a classic you can’t go wrong with.
