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.
@sprocketta Thank you! Some colors throw me off so if I'm not sure, I keep them aside and try them again. Sometimes it helps if I wear a different color shirt LOL! I'm happy I didn't throw this out right away. And I LOVE ColourPop! Such an amazing quality for the price!
@SnugglePuggle94 I have this lipstick too and I love it! I pair it with a lip liner for more definition. Looks great on you!
Best,
Rebecca
Yesterday, Meh day of lipstick and Today , NARS liquid lipstick to make up for it.
Per @WinglessOne and @cianni interest, here is UD Vice lipstick in bad blood with Smashbox Insta-matte. Couldnt find the Smashbox transformer and it turns out it was with my lipsticks and not the Smashbox corner I have. That was a frantic search for 10min to start the day, lol 🙂 I applied the lipstick with the mini bullet and per the SB instructions, my fingers for the insta-matte. It was messy and didnt "harden" to make crisp lines like I thought it would 😞 didnt have time to re-do so I left it like this. While I was out the door, I decided to grab a lip brush to use it with the Insta-matte later on. I also thought this was more of a brownish red but its now looking more as a blue red.
So, it did go into my fine lines but not too noticeable. It got a little worse when I ate a sandwhich. I put everything on again after lunch but with the brush and focused on the edges. I will see how it goes with Dinner. ...ok, I think it went well, it worked better with the instamatte brush application. Plus, I ate a greasy meatball sandwich for dinner. But, i was always dissatisfief with the crispness of the lines. Definitely this needs a liner, regardless of the instamatte.
Ahhhh, back to my beloved NARS! Mini NARS Power matte Lip pigment in Star Woman. I got this as a GWP at ULTA and I think this is going to replace the UD Liquid lipstick 714(?). Less drying but better payoff color. Guess I will be wearing all red this week 🙂
@Buootiful Starwoman looks stunning on you! I could never understand why anyone would want to mattify a good cream lipstick, though. But I never caught the matte bug, I guess.
Thank you so much! @Anonymous
Well shoot, I had high hopes for the Smashbox Insta-matte. Bad Blood’s outline doesn’t look terrible in your photos, but I know what you mean about a fuzzy lip line when you really want a crisp line. The Bad Blood bullet really shouldn’t bleed at all since it’s a matte (that’s what I think to myself each time I wear that shade) but, well... Thanks for testing the combo, though! And Starwoman looks great on you!
Thanks @WinglessOne Well, Im gonna try it with lipsticks I like but want it to look matte and see how it goes. So not a total loss, you and @cianni pushed me to finally use it. All good!! 🙂
Aww sorry my suggestion/curiosity ended up in a lacklustre lipstick day for you @Buootiful 😰 on the bright side, that Nars looks like it was made for you!! Haha you’re the star woman in that red 🤩🤩🤩
ROFLMAO!! @cianni 🙂 :). Its ok, your'e pun talk more than made up for it. 🙂 And then, now I have a hankering to try the Weekly wow brow brush(say tht 3x!) as a lip brush and it's sold out. Oh well.
Day 100
On the last day of the challenge I wanted to go back to where it all began:
This is L'Oreal Color Riche in 297, Red Passion. This is not just the first lipstick, but the first makeup item of all that I ever bought and wore in my life, about 8 years ago, in February 2011.Back then it was worn on its own, without anything else, so now it felt quite special for me to style it properly with all the bells and whistles, like mascara, blush and setting spray. This is the lipstick that earned me my colleagues' surprise at the fact that I wear makeup at all. This is the lipstick of which my mom heartily disapproved because it is "too bright" and "inappropriate". This is the only piece of makeup that I brought in my suitcase when moving from Israel to the US. Here is the tube with a somewhat faded Hebrew label:
Now, when my makeup stash became big and full of fancier items, I still love this little beauty because it played a big part in me becoming the person I am today.
Wow! @Krysa13 , That's a big story for a little lipstick to carry! It's so beautiful on you!
One fantastic red! I love it on you! 🙂
Congrats on finishing the challenge @Krysa13 ! I can see why you'd keep this one. It's absolutely stellar on you. Beyond amazing.
@ShortErica @WinglessOne @divaknits @Anonymous @byme4u @Buootiful thank you all so much! this challenge was such a fun thing to do here and I had a really good time with it 🙂
That was beautiful @Krysa13 - both the story and the lip. Congrats on getting to 100!
Hi @Krysa13 ,
Congratulations on complementing the challenge! I agree that his red looks beautiful on you. I love your story and I'm surprised that you still have this lipstick!
Best,
Steph
