Fenty Pose Queen, Scholar Sista & The MVPLipstick Nos. 6, 7 & 8 for this challenge are from the Fenty Icon Semi Matte Lipstick line that I've been reaching for as part of this week's Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge 2025. These Fenty lippies may be on their way to being discontinued, or already discontinued. Figures that I would be just now getting to the sample pack. 😔 I can't even be said to be fashionably late. Sigh. 3/100 - Fenty Pose Queen (top right) is a warm-leaning, dark pinky-peach shade (that looks a lot warmer and peachier in the sample blister packet up close). This is typically a very disagreeable color family for my lips (e.g., usually too warm, leans too orange, etc), but, for some reason, Pose Queen doesn't look so bad. So it makes complete sense that I would discover this shade after it appears to have long been discontinued. =P I'll have to sift through my bin of refills at some point as there is a sliiiight possibility this may have been a shade I picked up when it was heavily marked down before being entirely removed from the brand's lineup. 4/100 - Fenty Scholar Sista shows up as a neutral-to-warm leaning medium rosy-mauve pink on my lips (it looks more like a muted red-based pink in the blister packet). I have a full size of this shade. 5/100 - Fenty The MVP, a cool-toned, medium-dark, blue-based red, is the type of red that scares me the most because (1) in the tube, these types of red look like they are meant for grown-ups (and I'm pretty much still in training wheels as far as red lipsticks go, notwithstanding my profile pic, lol) and (2) blue-based reds have a tendency to turn fuchsia on me, which would be fine if I were looking or hoping for a fuchsia-hued lip color. Of the three lip shades, this was the fussiest. I applied 2 passes of Melt Ivory before applying the actual lipstick and once after to clean up the areas where the product had migrated. Other products* used:Melt Makeup eye liner Ivory to contour my lipsMerit lip liner in Bespoke to softly line lips, blended/diffused color with fingers - for Pose Queen and Scholas Sista onlyLip brush to apply color to lipsFenty lip oil - Cherry - I didn't end up using the lip oil for any of these swatches as the product was pretty creamy on its own - surprising (in the best way for me, someone with drier lips). This is described as having a demi-matte finish but based on my experience, it feels more like it leaves a creamy, satin finish. * Merit lip liner Bespoke and Fenty lip oil Cherry are still available on Sephora but I'm unable to tag them at the moment. Melt eye liner is no longer carried at Sephora online but can be purchased through brand site directly. I'll continue to reach for Pose Queen and Scholar Sista as they are; I can see one or both being part of a future Lips on Lock 🔐: List Your Lip Combos 💄👄 post. I don't see myself wearing The MVP without some modifications, but I'm not quite ready to declutter it. I have a feeling that I will end up mixing it with one of my many lip balms for a DIY tinted lip balm, possibly with another color added to the mix. We'll see.

@Scarlett1990 mac's frosted line is pretty. I justed added 3 to my loves...angel, fabby and I think bombshell.
