Lipstick challenge for January

Don't worry, its not a 'thing' - you don't have to post photos on Facebook or get sponsorship for charity. Just something I'm planning to brighten up a dull January Smile

The idea is that you wear a different lipstick / lipgloss every day through January. I'm planning to stick all of mine in a big box and do a 'lucky dip' every morning. It will be a bit of fun (in a slightly pathetic way) and will be interesting to see which lipsticks I get excited about pulling out and which I'm maybe not that fond of anymore

Anyone else fancy it?

What did you get, Bubbles? :)

Today I wore By Terry Cappuccino fraise. It felt very pink and it made me happy.

Any suggestions re a cooler, no shimmer Bitch Perfect?

BubblesDarling · 30/01/2017 20:25

Today I wore By Terry Nudissimo. A warm pink. It's one of my favourites.

Dulcimena How pink are we talking? Grin As for cool toned no shimmer nudes I'm a bit stuck, you didn't say anything about matte though so refer you to Esscence Perfect Match and Wow Effect and Revlon Pink Pout. (I know it says pink in the name, but I consider this a nude.) Oh, and Gosh Velvet Touch in Nougat, the original, not the matte one. (Why they brought out another lipstick with the same name I do not understand!

BubblesDarling · 30/01/2017 20:41

I have loads to catch up on the thread. 😊 💄

Dulcimena I have Penelope pink which has a slight warm undertone. Or try Nude Kate which is cooler. Hopefully someone with more knowledge then I, will point you in the right direction.

I wore nars audacious 'Greta' today. With grey eyes and pink blusher. I love it so much. I think tomorrow I'm going to try the red layering trick that frugal said.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 30/01/2017 21:34

Today was Kiko bright rose pink. Limited edition intensely lavish. Love it.
Would love a wet n wild splurge too. Can we get it anywhere in U.K.?
Yes madmomma let's keep February cheery with bright lips

clairethewitch70 · 30/01/2017 21:52

Sapphire just looked up Revlon Wild Orchid, I'll swatch it next time I go to Boots. Thanks for the recommendation.

BubblesDarling · 30/01/2017 21:59

Hi Jenny! Both LM products look gorgeous. One if my fav easy to wear lipsticks/gloss is Rosie for Autograph @ M&S Lip Glossy -SuperModel Smile. Non sticky. It's s handy one for the hand bag.

Claire- God luck with your search for the lipsticks I just did a quick search. FB, if your interested have a campaign to bring back Iron Lady :)

Dulcimena · 30/01/2017 22:00

Ty sapphire and bubbles! Will check those out :)

Lol not excitingly pink, just pinker than I am used to! I'm sure I must have a proper fuschia somewhere though...

BusterGonad · 31/01/2017 04:55

Today I'm out of my lipstick comfort zone, I'm testing out a nude pinky peach lip with a browny lip liner under neath! It's my new Wet b Wild liner covering my lips completely then the lippy. I feel a bit 90s. I think it looks kind of nice in a retro way! I'll see how I feel!

JennyHolzersGhost · 31/01/2017 09:07

Thanks for the tip Bubbles!

madmomma · 31/01/2017 10:20

Sounds jolly nice buster

BusterGonad · 31/01/2017 13:23

I quite enjoyed my nude brown 90s lip today, I think tomorrow I'll fish out my Elle lipstick which is a brown with a hint of rose. I have a pure brown lip liner so I'm going full on 90s lip! I love trying new shades.

BubblesDarling · 31/01/2017 15:37

Buster , a nude lip is a versatile beast! :)

I'm wearing Marc Jacobs Understudy. A warm peach Nude. From the sheer lip gel range. Coverage is good, comfortable & brings me cheer on such a dank drizzly day.

Oh and I checked out Boy Gorgeous, Buster. Now that is pigment! Only had a quick play but understand why it's one of your favourites.

clairethewitch70 · 31/01/2017 15:55

Bubbles A campaign to bring back Iron Lady on FB? I'm not on FB but thats a perfect reason to sign up, off I go...

leedy · 31/01/2017 16:19

LOTD is Charlotte Tilbury Secret Selma. Quite like yesterday's By Terry one but more matte and doesn't taste like a nana's bubble bath. Good everyday pink.

FrustratedFrugal · 01/02/2017 18:23

Wearing a H&M lipstick pencil called Paint the Town Red. A higly wearable red (slightly on the sheer side) with a strawberry smell, not mega long lasting, but quite pleasant for a quick touchup.

FrustratedFrugal · 01/02/2017 18:25

Oh and do we have a thread and a theme for February? Wink

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 01/02/2017 20:35

Nars Luxembourg.

Like it a lot.

BusterGonad · 02/02/2017 07:17

Today I'm wearing a Pupa I'm a Matte fluid lipstick in a coral shade. It's bright and I've put on a Matte nail varnish in a soft peach, it doesn't really go but it kind of does, iyswim!
