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.
So after all the selfie advice I took a few pics and realized I didn't improve. I just look unhappy here. Oh well.Today is Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Tenderheart. My holy grail lip gloss. The MLBB. That was discontinued. 😞
@sprocketta Very pretty color! Too bad it’s discontinued. Have you found a good dupe?
Ooh I wish I had seen this sooner! But being sick has kept me away, can't wait to join when Ifeel better.
There you are, Hi @Samtian@! I hope you feel better soon so you can join in in the fun! 🙂 Feel better!!!
Feel better @Samtian. You can show off a lip color with Apollo by your side. It's a 100 day challenge so we'll be here for a while.
I wanna put lipstick on just to participate!
Day 12: NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Low Rider
I reaaaaalllly need to work on taking selfies. I feel like I can't take a flattering picture, much less one that is flattering and shows the lipstick color well! Anyway, here is one of my NARS powermattes. They definitely last, but I find them to be a bit drying, so I don't wear them often.
Oh @snoflakefaerie, this color is lovely on you. I am super envious of your hair because I work for a stuffy insurance company that would never let me have fun hair again like I did when I was in high school. Sorry, moving on...I struggle with selfies too. Trust me, you look great, even if you think you don't. We're all just super self-conscious.
Thank you @sprocketta@ I think someone said it on this thread how we're our own worst critics and that definitely seems to be true. It's nice to have such positivity from everyone
Anyway, I'm so happy I work at a place where I can dress and style myself more creatively. I used to work at an engineering consulting firm and never could have gotten away with this, so I understand the feeling. At least you can wear fun lipsticks! Gotta find the joy (and rebellion) where possible!
@snoflakefaerie Low Rider looks great on you! It’s one of the 4 Powermatte shades that don’t work for me, but it definitely works for you.
I can’t wear any liquid matte without a bit of lip balm and a lip primer. With that base, the Powermattes are the 2nd most comfy mattes I own. I wish they felt as good on everyone else. Now I’m thinking of all the liquid mattes that feel kinda yucky on my lips, and wondering if they’ll make it into this 100-day rotation... like the OFRA blue matte I tolerate only because the color’s amazing. I’m kinda not looking forward to wearing that one. 😄
Thanks @WinglessOne I do really like this color. I used primer with it (which I often forget to do) but I think I should have had more of or a better balm underneath. Things to keep in mind for the next time, I suppose! I often shy away from using the liquid lipsticks I have because they are more drying, but then it's like, what's the point of even having them!
oooh that color looks really nice on you @snoflakefaerie
It's a very pretty color pink you can pull off on your skin @snoflakefaerie! 🙂 It's one of the few shades I don't have in the Powermattes. Such a shame it is drying for you @snoflakefaerie, the staying power is awesome through eating and doesn't dry me out.
@snoflakefaerie Whoa fun purple hair!! I can’t pull that off at all but it’s so cool you can! I don’t have any of the Powermattes but I am very interested in them. Do you have a favorite shade?
@alexasteph I'm lucky I work at a bar/theater where they don't mind crazy hair (at least 4 of us have bright colored hair). I am also lucky because one of the super fancy salons in Boston was looking for hair models, so I got this done on the super cheap. I am so ecstatic with it.
Anyway, regarding the powermattes, I have: low rider, get up stand up, under my thumb, and starwoman. I like get up stand up the best, but I think that's just because I'm more drawn to colors like that (bright pinks/corals). I do find the dark reds bleed a little more if you don't shake the formula up to integrate the ingredients.
Viselli on Newbury. I have followed them on Instagram for a while and just lucked out seeing they needed hair models. It has never looked this beautiful before! @jozkid
I don’t know that one @snoflakefaerie, but then again I switched salons a little while ago and the new one’s in the South End. They did a great job!
Oh which one do you go to? @jozkid@ I am still on the hunt for a place that can work with my puffy weird half wavy half curly hair and cut it nicely so I don't have to blow it out daily
I go to Mop on Tremont. They specialize in curly hair and do Devacuts. I see Nicole there. She’s one of the owners. Newbury St quality without the attitude!
@snoflakefaerie Ooh of the ones you mentioned I think I’m most drawn to the one you’re wearing, Low Rider! It looks great on you and it’s a pink family I definitely gravitate towards. Might need to add this to the list...
