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.
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. 😂
@WinglessOne, I like this color on you, it has a jeweled richness. I like UD, but I would have expected, with a name like "Bruise", it would be more purple. Now, I'm going to have to check this out in person. It looks like a good everyday color.
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. 🙂
@WinglessOne, thanks for the swatches, I like Nars & the Charlotte looks very similar to "Bruise"!
@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. 🙂
@WinglessOne Well now I’m all annoyed because I definitely passed on buying this when it relaunched because it said “sheer” and I didn’t really like the idea of this color
in a sheer finish,... But it’s totally pigmented and opaque!! Absolutely gorgeous on you! As for me not owning it because of a misleading description, I guess all I can do is say “aw well”.... I own too many lippies in the first place, I can’t be that upset LOL
Thanks @JessLess ! First time I applied the relaunch version, I thought “um, is ‘sheer’ a typo? Did they mean ‘sheen’ instead?” 😂 To be fair, it’s not as opaque as other bullets... I’d call it 85-90% opaque. That’s a far cry from sheer.
I wonder if UD will ever do another vintage relaunch. I passed on a couple other shades the last time and kinda wish I hadn’t. Oh well!
@WinglessOne LOL I would’ve even settled for “semi-sheer”, c’mon Urban Decay, you’re slacking on us!!! 😂😂😂 At least now I know if they ever do another relaunch, I’ll definitely be trying every shade for myself instead of relying on the descriptions (just to be safe hahaha)
