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.
This is an amazing color, @RGbrown! I think it's worth wearing even if it's fussy.
Thanks so much!
I don't think I'm gonna keep it after all though. It was a bit disappointing (it wore down patchily, and just looked awful even with near continual touchups), and looking through my collection last night, while it's not a dupe, it's awfully close to my PMG Exxotica, which was waaayyyy better in terms of performance.
@RGbrown, I'm glad you love your PMG Exxotica! Her formula is so perfect; I can definitely see you wearing that more than this one.
@RGbrown Ooooh, I love this! There's a bit of a blue sheen too or is that just the lighting? Either way, I'm feeling this color with your eye look too 🙂
I think the blue is just lighting...I never noticed any sort of shimmer or sheen to it IRL. Sadly, it just didn't wear well 😞 I like my other two Black|Up lippies, but this one was a bit disappointing. Thankfully though, I discovered it's pretty close to my PMG Exxotica, so the dark void is still filled in my collection (and I had already forgotten I owned it...pretty sure that's a sign I have too many...sigh...) 😛
@RGbrown Ha, that was me yesterday. Sitting on my couch and notice a PMG Luxetrance hanging out on my bookcase...completely forgot I had it 🙂 The hoarding is real 🙂
@RGbrown this, I love! I did like yesterday’s KA, because it has a cool vinyl-latex kinda finish, but this color is stunning. Maybe it’s the lighting but it has a bluish reflect in the middle? I love the whole look, super glam today!
I like this. It is not really hot neon pink. @SnugglePuggle94 Nut it does look hot on you. 🔥
Hi @SnugglePuggle94,
I am loving this pop of color on your lips! So fun and pretty!
Best Wishes,
Janean
Day 87. Givenchy Le Rouge Liquide in Rose Flanelle. Working through a blister packet of samples. This one is brighter than I expected from the package, but still pretty.
Ooooh, lovely @sprocketta . You must put this on your buy list when you do start buying again! 🙂
Hi @sprocketta,
I am all for this brighter lip shade! Looks really pretty on you!
Best Wishes,
Janean
Day 88, lipstick 103: Urban Decay Vice in Bruise. This is the Vintage relaunch, not the original—and I’m surprised I didn’t still have an original bullet lying around, because this was one of my favorite shades in the 90s, back when UD first launched. I had to buy it last year when Sephora marked it down, for old times’ sake. UD calls this a sheer finish but that’s clearly a lie. 😂
Thanks @byme4u ! Hopefully you can still find Bruise somewhere, though the Vintage relaunch was in 2016 or 2017. If not, there are similar shades. I’m positive there’s a MAC dupe but I can’t remember what it is—and surprisingly, I don’t have it in my collection. I did swatch a couple others in my hoard that aren’t exact dupes but, well...
Bruise is in the middle. NARS Audacious in Charlotte is on the left. Black Up in 33 is on the right. 33 is definitely a warmer red; Charlotte’s a tad warmer than Bruise. I bet UD has a newer similar Vice shade. 🙂
@byme4u Charlotte’s a great shade that looks good on everyone. It’s universal. And the NARS Audacious formula is fantastic. Definitely a good choice as a Bruise dupe. 🙂
