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.
Heh, I knew exactly what shade that was before I even read your description. 🙂 A lot of Ulta’s product pages seem to have the wrong product photos and/or descriptions of shades lately. But Brave Lips is one of my favorite L’Absolu Lacquers, so I’m happy to see it look so fantastic on you!
Also, sounds like you have as many of these as I do now. 😂 If Lancôme releases more colors that aren’t close dupes to existing ones, I’m (maybe both of us are) in trouble.
I'm just glad I ordered both reds, instead of going for the "pinky red" only and being disappointed. I knew I had swatched both at one point and been ok with both, but hadn't paid close enough attention to the site to realize the listing error. If I'm going either way, pink wins over orange any day of the week for me.
I've got 3 more on my "maybe" list from Ulta, and I want the one exclusive Lancome direct shade, and then I'll be done. I swear. Never mind that the maybes are only there because I don't want to feel like I'm done yet 😛
New shades. OMG. Don't even get me thinking about that. That would be amazing (and my wallet would be angry)
Looks great on you @RGbrown How many shades do you own now?
This red looks absolutely beautiful on you @RGbrown!
Day 90 (!!!), lipstick 105: Bite Amuse Bouche in Jam. I bought this last fall (I think) but today was its first full day of wear. Not the best lighting in this photo but it’ll have to do.
I quickly learned that I not only need a liner + primer perimeter to stop feathering/bleeding (which I always need for Bite bullets), I also need to wear primer on the inside of my bottom lip to keep Jam from quickly wearing away and getting a bit goopy. I’ll try that next time I wear this, and then decide if I’m keeping Jam. If primer can’t fix it, then Jam’s a goner, even though I love this color.
Thanks @curlychiquita ! I never tried any Bite lipsticks until last year, and now I own... several. 😂 As long as you’re not allergic to the formula and don’t mind using primer and/or liner to stop feathering, the Amuse Bouche bullets are great!
@WinglessOne Love this color on you! I recommend trying the TOO FACED - Lip Insurance Lip Primer. I have found that this lip primer stops my lipsticks from moving or feathering. I hope this helps!
Best,
Rebecca
Thanks @RebeccaBT ! I normally use MAC Prep + Prime Lip to stop bleeding/feathering, but I might try Too Faced’s lip primer to make Jam stick to my inner bottom lip. 🙂
Gah, you look marvelous dahling !!! @WinglessOne Isnt bad that it takes us so long to use the new ones we bought months ago? Heehee, I just did the same thing 🙂 I got the Toofaced mattetalic(?) liquid lip in the Holiday cracker and Im dreading opening it and having to wear it everyday so I use it up before it goes bad. Oh, have you tried Smashbox I Insta-Matte Lipstick Transformer? Im going to try that on UD Bad Blood and see if that helps to stop bleeding on that one.
Thanks so much, @Buootiful ! I haven’t tried my new Marc Jacobs Plum & Get It yet... it’s sitting in my liquid lipsticks drawer whispering “hey... heeeeeey... hurry up and wear me!” 😂 I also haven’t tried the Smashbox Insta-Matte (don’t own it yet), but now I’m also very interested to hear your thoughts on it after you try it. If it can stop Bad Blood’s bad blood, then it’s gotta be good!
@Buootiful Let me know how the smashbox matteifier does!! I’ve been eyeing it as a way to trick myself into thinking I have more than I do (to curb additional buying.. prob not happening though let’s be real 😂). But I don’t know how it works/performs 😂
I will definitely try this tomorrow! Thanks!!! ❤️ @cianni . I bought this in Nov from Ulta and keep forgetting it until I see it stashed with the eyeshadow primer, lol 🙂
@Buootiful ah thank you, you’re such a babe!! I appreciate it 🤗
That stinks about the wear @WinglessOne but the color is gorgeous on you! I haven't seen a bad color on you yet but I would say this is one of my favorites. The berry looks so perfect.
Thanks so much, @ShortErica ! ☺️ Berry is my favorite “conventional” lip color, even moreso than red.
