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.
@divaknits can't wait to see what these look like on you! 😄
Day 93, lipstick 108: MUFE Artist Rouge Creme lipstick in C505. Color wise, it’s an exact dupe of MAC Liptensity in Hellebore. It’s not as creamy feeling, but it’s comfy and super pigmented—and of course I love the color. Do I need this AND Hellebore? Prooooobably not. 😂 But it’s nice to know there’s a dupe, in case MAC ever discontinues theirs.
Holy purple! That's beeeeeautiful, @WinglessOne !
Crud, this reminds me you've just about talked me into trying a Liptensity. Just when I thought I wouldn't use my Ulta 20% today. Decisions, decisions 🤣
Gorgeous color, btw. Hellebore might have to be the one I grab 😋
Heh, sorry (not sorry) @RGbrown ! 😂 I hope Ulta’s shade descriptions match their product photos for these. (If not, check MAC’s site.) I also hope you like whichever one you choose! There’s also a beautiful darker purple one called Noblesse, but I don’t know if Ulta carries that one. I’m totally biased about Hellebore so of course that’d be a great choice, too.
Ha, yeah, I did the smart thing and pulled up swatches this time. So far, Marsala is the one in my cart, but I'm also eyeing Hellebore, Claretcast, and Cordovan pretty heavily, so the final shade may change. Unless I manage to talk myself out of it completely lol.
Do you have Noblesse? I saw it on Temptalia, but she was less enthusiastic about it than some of the other shades...said it was a bit patchy and maybe prone to gathering pigment in lip lines or around dry patches. Ulta doesn't carry it anyways, which means it's not in my immediate future, but I'd love some other feedback if I decide this is a formula to collect. Why does dark purple have to be so dang ornery? 😋
@RGbrown I had Noblesse but lost it, along with Fireworks (an unapologetically bright red), while traveling. And by “lost,” I mean “pretty sure I accidentally left them behind in a hotel room.” 😞 Noblesse is definitely not a one-stroke application: it’s patchy at first, but I had no trouble smoothing out the patches. I remember disagreeing with Temptalia’s assessment of Blue Beat, among a few other lipsticks—but as with anyone’s reviews, your mileage may vary. This reminds me to replace both my missing Liptensity bullets. 🙂
I’ve worn Marsala and Cordovan in this thread. Marsala’s a plummy, almost berry red on me while Cordovan’s a rich red. Cordovan feels more emollient and looks more pigmented on me. Both are good options!
Wow, what a great color on you @WinglessOne !!
Back to my Nars obsession!
NARS - Full Vinyl Lip Lacquer
in Abruzzo
It goes great wirh lip pencils and lasts well thru drinking coffee and water. I love that there's no taste or smell with it This is just one swipe from the wand. I put it on top of one of the 2 first liners i ever bought, Rimmel london Exaggerate lip liner in, haha,... Obsession. 😆
@Buootiful oooh, that looks amazing! I've never even looked at the Nars vinyl lip lacquers, is there a lot of transfer? That color is pretty awesome 🙂
Thanks so much! @MissPuff . It transfers a little less than a lipgloss but it still is a really pigmented lipgloss to me 😊
Beautiful @Buootiful It looks sparkly which I love
