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've reached my goal of 50 lipsticks! The last one, which I've worn quite a few times since starting this challenge (but weirdly never took a picture), is Pat McGrath MatteTrance in Omi. I love this shade so much that I keep the holiday edition (in the red tube) on my vanity and the mini one in my purse.
Past lipsticks:
50 Lipstick Days
Some final thoughts:
Favorite formulas: Shiseido VisionAiry Gel, Givenchy Le Rouge, Pat McGrath MatteTrance. They're all different finishes and all sooo good.
The one that grew on me: Glossier Generation G. I didn't think I loved the formula at first, but the more I wore it, the more I liked it. It's the type of product you can apply without a mirror!
The one I probably wouldn't purchase again: Besame. I have three of their lipsticks, but I like applying lipstick straight from the tube, and this one is too difficult to apply and the formula is just okay in my opinion. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the Armani Lip Maestro formula.
Best value: Colourpop Lux, for sure. Thanks to those in this challenge who introduced me to that formula!
Favorite red: I attempted to find my perfect red during this challenge, and my favorite was Shiseido Modern Matte in Exotic Red. I've been wanting to try Shiseido VisionAiry Gel in Code Red, though...
Favorite brown: Pat McGrath MatteTrance in Flesh 3. I didn't think I could pull off brown until I discovered this gem.
The ones going into my regular rotation: Shiseido VisionAiry Gel in Streaming Mauve, Glossier Generation G in Jam, Givenchy Le Rouge in Brun Vintage, all of my Pat McGrath MatteTrance lipsticks
Congrats on getting to your goal @txcatx! I love seeing your reviews and favorites too so thank you for including all those details.
💄 Congrats on finishing. 💋 Nicely dome. @txcatx
Great color and Congratulations for finishing!!🖒🎆. Glad you found a few great new ones 😁
Congrats @txcatx! You inspired me to pick up my first Visionary Gel💄, so thank you. Enjoyed reading your summary as well, Sounds like those Colourpop Lux shades deserve a try as well:)
Congrats @txcatx! I’m glad you made some pleasant discoveries during this challenge, in addition to some lessons learned. And Omi looks great on you!
@txcatx congrats on making it the end of your challenge!! I really appreciate all of your (very well organized) thoughts. Shisheido seems to be a star in a lot of people’s collections!
I swear I have a love-hate relationship with full face. Although my makeup is mostly lipsticks, occasionally I like to do it up, especially since I have pretty eyeshadow palettes. I had a love for it for a hot minute, but I have hooded eyes so it’s a challenge. Anyway, today i’m wearing MAC Retro Matte that came in a set. I have no idea what the shade it. I have Anastasia (I think it’s liquid lip)
in Ashton under it. I like both of these lipsticks on their own as well.
Nice lip but your shadows are great too. @divaknits
Thanks @Anonymous. I’m still trying to perfect my eyes, but lipstick is my first love ❤️
I'll join the masses with this one 😁
Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon in Plum N Get It
Gorgeous color, and I've never felt a texture quite like it. The crayon is plenty firm so it doesn't smoosh just under the weight of application, but it goes on so smoothly and easily that it really feels like it should. I have no idea how a solid can feel like you're applying a liquid, but it does.
For anyone looking to try these out, go to MJ's direct site. There's a 3pc set in the sale section for $12.50. You'll get an additional 15% off in the cart ($10.62) and get free shipping with the code SHIP. 😁
This lippie looks gorgeous on you! + it paired well with your jacket 🙂 @RGbrown
Of course, it looks gorgeous on you!! @RGbrown. One of the best finds of the holiday and I thought it would be nars, lol.
Yeah, I was kinda disappointed in those NARS metallic lippies too...they were ok, but not nearly as spectacular as I had hoped. Ah well, thank goodness there are tons of options out there 😄
Wow! What a gorgeous color! And it looks stunning on you! It's definitely your color, @RGbrown !
