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.
One of my newer PMGs: Pat McGrath LuxeTrance in Major Red. It’s very close to MatteTrance Elson, making it a good cream formula dupe for folks who don’t want the matte finish. Caution: if you think Elson transfers like crazy, wait’ll you get a load of Major Red. 😂 You will stain every cup, glass, napkin, cheek, and winter scarf bundled against your face a very pigmented and bold red while wearing this. Personally, I’m not bothered by transfer (aside from liquid mattes which really shouldn’t transfer much). It’s bleeding/feathering that bugs me. Major Red feathers a tiny bit on one side of my bottom lip; not enough to be noticeable, and the feathering happens only after a few cups of coffee.
In case anyone’s curious, here’s Major Red swatched with Elson, McGrath Muse (still my favorite LuxeTrance shade), and MAC Red.
This is such an amazing color @WinglessOne!!
@WinglessOne I've seen a number of bold colors on you, and I'm really impressed with this one. I may have to invest in one myself. I tried wearing Elson two days in a row and my lips got dry. You've said so many good things about the Luxe Trance formula so I really want to try it. Looking fab, as usual.
Thanks @sprocketta ! ☺️ Sorry Elson was too drying. Hopefully a LuxeTrance will treat you better. I wish PMG had released a LuxeTrance mini trio, since the MatteTrance trios were such a great way for folks to try that formula.
I think the Michigan Ave Sephora has both Major Red and Sedition (more of a classic red but just as lovely) in stock, so you could swatch them both in person. I mean, should you find yourself wandering into that store for, oh, no particular reason... 🙂
Thanks @Anonymous @lmaster @itscarin @PrettyPaint @Weetart @Kim888 @RebeccaBT ! ☺️
@WinglessOne Love the PAT MCGRATH LABS - LuxeTrance™ Lipstick.
They are so pigmented and comfy on the lips! Another lip that looks amazing on you 🙂
Best,
Rebecca
this is a stunning color on you @WinglessOne
It’s beautiful on you, and thanks for the swatches @WinglessOne . I really like the looks of elson
@WinglessOne I love a good orange-red and Major Red looks like it's one of the good ones. I wonder how it compares to Lady Danger (MAC -- I mean, Lady Danger is so infamous she needs no introduction but just in case I had to clarify!)
Love Major Red on you! ❤️
On an unrelated note (well, it's at least lipstick related 😁), have you tried any of these? The description sounds Lancome Lacquer-ish (I am thrilled that more long-wear glossy stuff is coming out), and this particular shade sounds PERFECT for you 💖💖
@RGbrown I really hope they send out a 20% code soon because I really want to try these.
Thanks @RGbrown ! And no, I haven’t tried any of those, or anything by Smith & Cult—not even nail polish, surprisingly. I was hoping to find those lip gels and the lip sheens (there’s a blue one!) in a local Ulta store soon. But I might need to order one, because that black glossy gel looks almost exactly like my dream gloss! 🖤 I’d also need to order one of the non-sparkly shades for performance comparison. Good thing I’ve got plenty of Ulta points racked up. 😂
Can't wait to hear about it if you grab one; I've put both Raspberries on my wish list (sigh, Ulta, you should probably fix that...), and will probably get one with the next 20% 😁
