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.
@2manyperfumes Velvet Teddy is very pretty on you!
I definitely have more lipsticks than any other type of makeup item. I’m supposed to be on a lipstick low-buy this year, and I haven’t tallied up my bought vs. decluttered lipsticks for February yet because honestly, I’m kinda afraid to. 😂 I’ve downsized my total lipstick collection to around 200. (I really hope the number’s under 200.) I have so much lipstick because it’s the makeup item I wear most of all, aside from brow pencil.
Tallying up my other makeup items (the ones I actually use): 70 single shadows, excluding loose pigments (I have only 5 of those); 26 eyeliners, including clay pots; 20 lip liners; 18 single blushes and 2 blush palettes; 14 eyeshadow palettes; and 13 mascaras, some of which I’ll purge soon. I have less than 10 of other types of makeup items. Oh, and brushes... 37, plus the 2 double-ended ones that came with palettes that I use only for brush-swatching.
I have a fair amount of perfume, but less than I used to. Skincare is a revolving thing for me since I frequently test products, so I won’t tally that up yet. And nail polish, oh boy... that’s one thing I need to organize better. I have bottles all over the place. I honestly have no idea how much nail polish I own. I’m sure I need to purge some of the older bottles. 😄
I’m positive there are folks in this thread who have more of each makeup item than I do, so you’re definitely in great company here!
Wow I feel better already lol I’m in good company is right. I’m afraid to count but I think 60 Nail Polish shades and possibly 50 perfumes from travel to full size.
My eyeshadow palette collection is fierce. Nowhere near my lipstick obsession, but it has it’s own case just as my lipsticks do. I also have highlighters, mascaras, lipliners, eyeliners, brow pomade, brow pencils, a few foundations, concealers, and assorted brushes. Let’s not even talk about skincare, a lot of which comes from my Play box. Unfortunately they do a lot of repeats so I rarely have to go buy anything. BTW, you look great!
Thank you I did my pumpkin enzyme mask last night (face), retouched my green lowlights and a hair mask lol. That is a fierce collection! My daughters have told me that I’m not allowed to purchase any more palettes haaa. I keep my singles in makeup boxes and my palettes in file case. I know off the top of my head I have 21 palettes from minis to z-palettes and collection.
This is Lipstick Queen Cupid’s Bow in Metamorphosis, darkened a bit at the outer corners with Cupid’s Bow in Apollo. Semi-matte finish, very comfy, long lasting, and this one doesn’t bleed at all. I wish LQ had made more shades of these crayons! I love ‘em.
Lipsticks I’ve worn so far:
You’ve worn close to the number I have total so far. I don’t think I’ll be adding anything else until I do some decluttering. I can’t anyway. I’ve run out of room. Unfortunately, I have a hard time letting go of certain things, makeup included. I thought this challenge was supposed to make me wear what I have, but the more I see on y’all, the more all the colors call to me. 😄
Lol 😂 I would get a bigger container for them
@divaknits Letting go can be difficult, but think of it as making room for newer, better things. 🙂
I think it’s really pretty and flattering on you. Orange and pink shades perfect for springtime. Fresh! I only have the pink by Lipstick Queen (easy to apply 😀)
I look at this and ask myself if I bought this because of the brand, the discounted price, or for the color. I usually like KVD’s liquid lipsticks. I’m not sure about the formula. The name of the lippie is Miss Argentina. It’s ok I suppose. I felt like I had something on. I don’t like that. This is the first time I’ve worn this and it seems such a shame to declutter it now. It does stay put thou
Oh no @divaknits I'm missing your picture with the lippie!
That's a shame about the formula because the color is so pretty! Don't ever want to miss your face and your stories @divaknits!
Day 2- Ysl volupte colour balm in excite me pink. This one was really comfortable and I love the color.
Day 24. ABH liquid in Malt. I only have two liquid ABH and both of them wear well, but this one wears amazing. Not very drying for a liquid. Typically I put a little sparkle on this which looks fab. But today I decided to wear it solo. Today I'm super flushed, it throws off the color balance on my camera. Gahd I miss film.
