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.
@sockmagnet As long as the lipstick’s not scented/fragranced, you shouldn’t notice any taste. It’s the scented lipsticks you need to watch out for. In stores, I always smell lipsticks (solid bullets and liquid mattes/glosses). If they’re scented and I decide to buy them, I do so knowing I might end up tasting the fragrance. I don’t like to put in-store bullet testers on my lips, even after a thorough alcohol cleaning, and I NEVER put in-store liquid lipstick testers on my lips—so I take a smaste risk each time I buy a scented lipstick.
Off the top of my head, the first “tastes like nothing” bullets I think of are all my MACs, PMGs, ColourPops, Black Ups, and Urban Decays.
The most scented bullets (that I can taste) I can think of are YSL, Too Faced (I mean, you kinda expect the Peach Kiss bullets to taste like something 😄), By Terry, and I have a Jung Saem Mool bullet that’s heavily rose scented.
My Bite and MUFE bullets are scented but don’t have much of a smaste effect to me. Ditto for all my Lancôme L’Absolu Lacquer glosses.
@eshoe It has kind of a rose blend scent... it smells like rose plus another scent I can’t quite place. It doesn’t smell bad at all (to me), and it’s not a super strong lingering scent. But I definitely smell-taste it a bit when I first apply it.
By comparison, the Jung Saem Mool lipstick I mentioned is heavily scented. It has a straight-up rose scent. Like you’re wearing a bouquet of roses on your face. 😄 I’ve only lip-swatched it so far and haven’t worn it longer than 2 minutes, so I don’t know how long the smell lasts. This reminds me to wear it all day soon.
@WinglessOne Thanks! That's really helpful 🙂 I've been eyeing an Urban Decay lipstick, so I think I'll go with that.
Thanks @lmaster!
Thank you @jozkid have a great Thanksgiving!
That’s such a gorgeous PMG lipstick @lmaster ❤️ You look amazing 😉!
OMG @lmaster stunning on you! I've been wanting to try one of the Blitz Trance. Is it color pearls and glitter as well or just one or the other? Is it messy?
No it's not messy at all @sprocketta it is definitely both, I am absolutely in love with this formula!
@lmaster thanks for the info. I absolutely adore all the PMG lipsticks I have and while I previously was not willing to spend $38 on a lipstick, but hers are worth it.
This is the first one I've tried @sprocketta it is definitely worth it
If you can find it, the Lust Matte Trance trios are a great deal. 3 small (and these are a decent size) lipsticks for $25. They've been out of stock online mostly but you can catch them in stores if you're lucky. Great way to expand your collection of her lipsticks.
Love this, @lmaster, especially with the sweatshirt😉
Lol thanks @eshoe I love band shirts, guess now I should say sweatshirts! Uughhhh hate cold weather 😂
Day 66. NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien and NARS lipstick in Rosecliff (formula name wasn't on the package, it was from an Ulta lip duo). Pretty, but too nude for me and my lips are still dry 😞 may have to pick up a lip balm or mask beyond the chapstick I've got.
This shade is SO different on you than how it looks on me, @sprocketta! It seems so much darker on me, and my skin tone is olive, so bizarre.
