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.
@AnonymousUnidentified
Thanks so much! 💜
@RGbrown I really like that! Metallics are my weakness
So ladies and gents, have $100 I got from using my Rouge points. I’m determined to
spend much of it (if not all) on lipsticks (like I don’t have enough. The collection has gone over 100 in the past week.) Sooo what’s hot out there right now? I have a super
bright orange (which gave my fiancé a heart attack),’ black, black with sparkles (got the side eye with those), blue (wth babe) and a green he hasn’t see yet. If it’s wines, neutrals or reds he’s in his happy place. I need some that will please him and some that will please me. We have to compromise in marriage after all. And will someone tell me about the NARS Powermatte Lipsticks? I definitely want at least one of those. TIA
@divaknits I have one of the NARS powermattes and was really skeptical before I tried it since I hate mattes. It was not drying at all and wore really well. Go for it!
Definitely makes me want to check out @sprocketta. I’ll swatch.
@divaknits NARS Powermattes are one of the only 2 liquid matte formulas I can comfortably wear. The other is MUFE’s liquid matte formula. I still need lip balm and lip primer under both, but neither of those formulas dry my lips out. Powermattes are great performers. They’re not as unbudgable as, say, a Tarte Tartiest liquid matte, but they’re MUCH more comfy (to me) to wear. I highly recommend trying one. I’ll also recommend trying a MUFE matte... let’s see if tagging will work via phone today: MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick
Others off the top of my head:
LANCôME - L'Absolu Lacquer and try some of their bullets, too.
MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Rouge LipstickCreme finish.
BLACK UP - Lipstick cream finish (the mattes aren’t comfy to me)
BITE BEAUTY - Amuse Bouche Lipstick though you might need a liner to stop feathering
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick Thicc
And if the scent doesn’t bother you, TOO FACED - Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick – Peaches and Cream Collection
I’ll stop there for now. There are plenty of “wearable” and “unconventional” shade options among all those lines. 🙂
@WinglessOne So. Many. Lipsticks. I swear i’ll wind up finding something to please both of us, mostly me. 😆 JK I’all buy half for me and half for him.
@divaknits Nars powermattes are SOOO worth the hype (and price). I have a couple currently, and omg the staying power is insane, and it’s so comfortable for a matte. I also have really been lovin on the smashbox always on matte metallic in vino noir. It’s a burgundy metallic that is really pretty! But like @RGbrown mentioned, you won’t be able to return anything if you buy using the rouge reward, so definitely swatch and see them all in store if it’s something you’re unsure about.
And thanks so much @cianni. Sephora trippin’ not letting me tag everyone.
@divaknits Like @Anonymous already said, I literally haven’t seen a color you didn’t wear well! The powermattes have a color range probably More in line with what your fiancé likes, based on your description 😂 that being said, you’ll definitely fall in love with the formula, and the colors are stunning. I’d probably recommend Warm Leatherette, Under My Thumb, Rick With You, Wild Night and if you’re in need of a true red, Starwoman is one I think a lot of us have accumulated either through favourites boxes or reward redemptions, but sometimes it’s the more basic things that are missing from a collection 😂
Then at least one of my lipsticks will be a Powermatte. Based on my profile pic, any color suggestions?
I really haven’t seen a bad color on you yet. @divaknits
Thanks @Anonymous! I’m sure there’ll be some misses here and there. I love them anyway. I
don’t think there’s a single color in my
collection that I hate since I decluttered. Then again there are so many in there.
@divaknitsUnidentified
Yay for more lipstick! Always room for more 😂
I feel like I need to post the bad news first...you may already know this, but just in case...just remember that you can't return or exchange anything you buy with a Rouge Reward, so choose wisely!
And now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let's move on to the fun stuff 😁
NARS Powermatte is a wonderful formula. I hate all mattes...except these. They dry down, but they don't dry out or crack or flake. Dang near bulletproof.
I also highly highly highly recommend the Lancome L'Absolu Lacquer Gloss (make sure it's the Lacquer, not the plain gloss). These are a magical shiny liquid that sticks around almost as well as a matte. There is some transfer, but they also seemingly never disappear from your lips. I've gotten 8+ hours wear from them, and they stay soft and comfy the whole time. The shade range is pretty standard...your fiance would approve of pretty much all of them. Sephora doesn't carry all of the colors, sadly, but I definitely suggest getting one with your Reward to try, then checking out the rest of them later at Ulta or Lancome direct.
I figured that I couldn’t return anything with the Rouge reward so this isn’t a surprise. The only thing I could possibly have room for is skin care or lipsticks. Guess what’s probably going to win out? 🤣 The Laquer Gloss sounds interesting. Sephora in JC Penney doesn’t carry them so I can’t swatch them so I can order them online. It’s frustrating that I can’t use my reward here. Might have to make a special trip to Nashville to shop there. Thanks @RGbrown fiancé thanks you. Lol
I've seen so many folks think the Reward is more of a gift card, and get upset when they find out they can't return something they got with it, so I always feel compelled to make sure folks realize that up front. It's a bit tricky the way Sephora markets it...they don't say "gift card" anywhere, but so many folks get that impression 😕
Oh, yuck that you only have a SiJCP! A road trip sounds like fun though 😄
Another oldie: MAC Creamsheen in Party Line. I’ve always been very 😐 about this one. Don’t know what convinced me to buy it years ago. It’s not a bad color or formula (though this old bullet’s starting to show its age). I don’t hate or dislike it, or love or like it, and I never reach for it. There’s just nothing special about it. Time to get rid of it.
