@Sunnysmom such great tips!!!  Thanks for taking the time to type it all out!!!  ❤️ 💄 😍

Slow day at the office @greeneyedgirl107 ! 🤣 Happy to, this is important work we do! 🤓 Love to hear all your tips too! 🤗

@Sunnysmom Ah yes the old fashioned tip for the win! I always do this when I want to be serious about my lipstick and go out. Going to go look up that Yolaine brush. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ha @Samtian I do know you do all these things too as we all do I’m sure! 😘 Yes Yolaine has those cute tubes of lip and cheeks and it was 40% off through today! Hope you can still grab it. ( I included it in a pic one time. I can send you if it’s hard to find under a haul etc. ) Note however, as it comes from France they charge horrendous shipping unless you reach the magic $- grr. I usually end up over-ordering to get around this which is a bit like a makeup over-serve?! 😳😆😭 We should do an order together sometime. Find me if you ever wanna! I didn’t do this sale tho I should’ve because I didn’t want to do a big one to get out of the darn shipping. Double Grr 😡.

@Sunnysmom Thank you! I found the brush available at Anthropologie and just added it to my wishlist lol. Check it out online.

Ooh that’s right @Samtian ! I did see they were carrying it! Great! The little foam end is nice along with the regular brush plus it’s darling! ☺️🥰

@makeitup305 another steal!  Thanks for the heads up!  

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks for the tag @makeitup305 ! 🥰 I do have a few in this formula @greeneyedgirl107 . Let me check out my stash and get back to you quickly today! 😘 Also, are you open to a few other brands or just wondering about these in particular? BRB! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Sunnysmom I was looking into these because they were so cheap!  I'm open to other suggestions but probably won't have the time to pursue them anytime soon.  No pressure.   I know this week is busy!  Thanks!  💄

They are such a great price @greeneyedgirl107 ! I  think I had Empowered and Hear Me Roar which are bolder shades tho they can be blotted down nicely. Like you I prefer cooler reds. Or sometimes mixed with a tad of brown, pink, even to make more wearable during the day. (Tho I mainly wear reds one shade I liked for an every day almost red was Urban Decay Vice Hydrating Lipstick Manic tho not sure if the newer version is the same. Probably so. ) if you wanna splurge a bit more I love Givenchy sheer velvets and their regulars and Gucci satins, Bobbi Brown, Dior. ( I  can give you lots of thoughts on those shades when you want, ask away! Don’t want to bog you down if you don’t!) 

This Sephora formula feel nice tho I think I had to use a bit of a liner to prevent some bleeding but not badly. I also have a few of the matte shades which are decent as well. I don’t have it but SEPHORA COLLECTION Matte Velvet Lipstick 5 High Standards looks to be a nice muted cooler red with some pink to it? I have Break the Rules I think which is def bolder but again gorgeous blotted down or with a balm underneath. Sephora does such a nice job with their red lip selection I always think! Definitely worth trying out for sure. I’m still going to find the rascals and I’ll tag you here. They’re escaping me! Grr. So much for organizing them by brand! 🤗

@Sunnysmom such good information!!!  I bookmarked this for future reference.   I had the opportunity to go in-store today, and checked out the two items you tagged.   The UD did look very pretty/promising online, but in person it was disappointing.  I agree that SC has some nice reds!!!  I'll have to go over them again when I have more time.  The SC you tagged just might work...but of course I'd need to see it on my lips.  I only swatched on my wrist.  Plus, I rarely wear mattes.   But I totally forgot that I bought several SC glosses (varying "clear" toppers, so to speak) that I could wear over it.  I really should have just bought it.  I just have so much to go through RN.  I did buy two reds of the Rouge Lacquer because I could not resist the sale.   The store was teeming with teen girls, and I had trouble keeping track of the similar shades.   I think they'll be too much for me, but I can always give them to my sister.   Thanks so much for the support!  Looking forward to dropping a toe into reds.   And I'm sure you're right about the luxe brands having great reds.   I've marveled at the Dior in the past.

Oh fun @greeneyedgirl107 ! I’m so glad you could go in store and check them all out! I know right?! So many different reds! So easy for us to get confused, I know I do! 🤪 Yes Manic is tricky. It can look good or not. Lol. I liked the old formula. I have zero colors like that ever. That one worked oddly. Just blot your lips or blur them with a light layer and I bet whatever you find will be gorgeous on you! Yes let’s discuss other brands when you want to! Love the research! 🥰🤗
