100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

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.

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

This is MAC Liptensity in Marsala. The Liptensity bullets are among my favorites to wear in very cold weather, thanks to the creamy, highly pigmented, protective barrier they give my lips. It helps that they don’t bleed/feather on me.

that is a wonderful shade on you @WinglessOne.... still have yet to see a shade that doesn't compliment you 😘

Re: that is a wonderful shade on you @WinglessOne.... still h...

Thanks so much, @lmaster! ☺️

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne I’m in love with this one!   It’s so nice to find a pigmented bullet that doesn’t feather. As much as I adore my amuse bouche bullets, anything darker than chai tends to get messy 🙄 I don’t think I’ve tried the liptensity. Maybe I’ll put trying the MAC velvet ones on hold and give this one a go instead

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @cianni! I haven’t tried MAC’s Velvet Mattes yet, either—but I was very tempted! You just reminded me to visit my local MAC store and swatch some of those. 🙂 My inner lipstick junkie wants to say “why not try both a Velvet and a Liptensity!” But you know, enabling and all that. 😂 

 

And YES, the Bite bullets are so messy! Each shade I own is fairly deep or dark, so I have to wear lip liner (and sometimes primer) with all of them unless I want popsicle mouth. But I still love ‘em. They’re just moderately high maintenance. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

@WinglessOne I know as soon as I swatch I’ll end up bringing some home so I’ve been employing a new tactic I call “mindful avoidance” which involves taking the long way everywhere to avoid basically anywhere that has a beauty counter 😂😂

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Beautiful @WinglessOn I believe someone else said it here also but you look gorgeous in any shade. 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Aw, thanks @Anonymous!

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

This is a nice dark pinky red on you. I love that it doesnt bleed @WinglessOne. I keep saying I need to get this line and keep forgetting 😊

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @Buootiful! Marsala is one of the longer wearing Liptensity bullets. But even the ones that wear down faster leave a very pretty stain behind. I hope you get to try one soon! 

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

I love what an intense and deep shade this is @WinglessOne. It has a lot of character. And happens to look gorgeous on you.

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @eshoe

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

That color is gorgeous @WinglessOne!

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

Thanks @faeriegirl!

Re: 100 Days of Lipstick Challenge

I've reached my goal of 50 lipsticks! The last one, which I've worn quite a few times since starting this challenge (but weirdly never took a picture), is Pat McGrath MatteTrance in Omi. I love this shade so much that I keep the holiday edition (in the red tube) on my vanity and the mini one in my purse.

Some final thoughts:

 

Favorite formulas: Shiseido VisionAiry Gel, Givenchy Le Rouge, Pat McGrath MatteTrance. They're all different finishes and all sooo good.

 

The one that grew on me: Glossier Generation G. I didn't think I loved the formula at first, but the more I wore it, the more I liked it. It's the type of product you can apply without a mirror!

 

The one I probably wouldn't purchase again: Besame. I have three of their lipsticks, but I like applying lipstick straight from the tube, and this one is too difficult to apply and the formula is just okay in my opinion. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the Armani Lip Maestro formula.

 

Best value: Colourpop Lux, for sure. Thanks to those in this challenge who introduced me to that formula!

 

Favorite red: I attempted to find my perfect red during this challenge, and my favorite was Shiseido Modern Matte in Exotic Red. I've been wanting to try Shiseido VisionAiry Gel in Code Red, though...

 

Favorite brown: Pat McGrath MatteTrance in Flesh 3. I didn't think I could pull off brown until I discovered this gem.

 

The ones going into my regular rotation: Shiseido VisionAiry Gel in Streaming Mauve, Glossier Generation G in Jam, Givenchy Le Rouge in Brun Vintage, all of my Pat McGrath MatteTrance lipsticks
