Hi everyone! Another lipstick addict here too Grin
Today I am wearing Huda Beauty liquid lipstick in Trophy Wife which is a deep pink. I have quite a few liquid lipsticks and this is my favourite by far, it is the least drying I have tried.
I got it in a set of 4 mini pinks so may try a different colour each day!

Oogle · 03/02/2017 12:35

Ooh I think I have found my home! Grin

Mind if I join you?

Today I'm wearing Mac Angel with Soar lipliner...it's actually a really lovely combo as it makes the baby-pink tone of Angel really noticeable without being "woah!"

Lottapianos · 03/02/2017 13:00

leedy, I have Rougenie in that Soap and Glory range - its lovely too

I've now got my eye on Lancôme Rouge Absolu in Idole - its Lisa Eldridge's favourite colour apparently (she created it!). Anyone got it? I have another Lancôme lipstick (Tresor) and I'm a bit iffy about it - a bit drying and not very long lasting

Marking place as a newbie to lipstick.
Been wearing the Revlon balm stain I mentioned in the previous thread every day this week. Can't get used to myself in the mirror - it makes my thin lips look so much more noticeable !

BusterGonad · 03/02/2017 19:54

No lipstick for me today, I've been slobbing about on the sofa all day, another cold for me! I've only got over the last bloody one!

loveslipstick · 03/02/2017 20:18

I'm wearing a Rimmel Provocalips today in the colour Not guilty which is a nice deep Berry shade but not too dramatic.

MixedUpConfusion · 03/02/2017 20:19

For the past few days I've been wearing MAC Fusion Pink. Very bright but seems to brighten my face up and somehow make people smile at me. They could be laughing, but I prefer to think it's a nice friendly smile because I look happy and colourful Grin

AmberNectarine · 03/02/2017 21:18

Can I join? I'm a lipstick junkie too?

Today I wore Mac Viva Glam, because I was looking a bit tired and it always lifts me. My boss got it for me for Xmas and it is the perfect dark red for me.

mimiasovitch · 03/02/2017 23:48

I can't believe I missed the January thread, though I have noted a few I'd like to try. I'm a huge lipstick fan - I kind of look unfinished without it. Today was L'Oréal colour riche in Cassis Passion. I love this so much I have 3, so I can always lay my hands on at least one of them. It's a lovely deep plummy pink.

SapphireSeptember · 04/02/2017 00:16

Welcome new people, the more the merrier! Grin Lipsticks for Friday were Catrice Graphic Grace Powdery Lips in Straight Style, a nice deep fuchsia, and W7 Viva La Berry in Glam Berry, which is a nice dark purple. (Google chrome autocorrect refusing to acknowledge 'glam' as a word there, tried to change it to town and then black. Hmm )

I've just been into Sephora and had a good look at the Marc Jacobs lipsticks, the thing is when you first look at them your kind of under whelmed but then as you go back and relook you realize that the colours are really beautiful and are more complex then you first thought! I quite like the look of Clara and Blow. I mustn't buy anything else though!

Jmangel · 04/02/2017 15:32

Ooh this thread is crying out for accompanying photos please ladies. Plus maybe skin tone, hair/eye colour for reference if photo is just of lips for anonymity.

I just got my hair dyed yesterday from strawberry blonde to light caramel brunette and completely lost - my previous coral tones now look garish. What would be a good browny pink shade lipstickfor a warm toned NC30?- preferably long lasting but not too matte

BubblesDarling · 04/02/2017 16:20

Lotd- Guerlain Pink Ballerinas. Brightened up my otherwise hangover mug 😐.

Buster, I wish I had access to Sephora. Heard rumours it was coming back to UK. Apparently not! Sob.

Good idea Jm. I would start, maybe tomorrow once looking less haggard ;)

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 04/02/2017 16:24

Today I used the darker pink of the Bobbi Brown Homecoming pink palette as lipstick.

Quite nice.

BusterGonad · 04/02/2017 16:27

Bubbles my Sephora isn't that great, it has quite a few brands but everything sales out quickly and there isn't enough of a selection, don't get me wrong it's good but not amazing.

leedy · 04/02/2017 16:50

& Other Stories lipstick in Luxor Red today. It's a lovely true red but it's billed as a matte and ... isn't, really. More of a satin. I still like the colour and it wasn't very expensive, but would be even nicer as a proper matte.

AmberNectarine · 04/02/2017 19:52

Mac Plumful arrived in the post. Was looking for a deep rose pink and this is perfect. Very pleased with it!

SapphireSeptember · 04/02/2017 20:29

I wish we had Sephora and Ulta, I watch the YouTube make up junkies going round them and drool over all the make up! I'm still waiting for the new UK NYX website to launch.

Thanks Debenhams!

Anyway, today was the last of the Catrice Graphic Grace Powdery Lips lipsticks, in Functional Forms, a bright coral red, and then W7 Viva La Berry in Berry Kiss, which is a deep red.

Surratt Gamine lipslique today. I had been looking at swatches of this for a while but bought real life blind. This is my third of these and the texture and feel are great, but it is lighter and less pigmented than my others - it's a nude peach.

clairethewitch70 · 04/02/2017 23:29

Thanks for the tip sapphire about Revlon Wild Orchid. I swatched it today in Boots, lovely colour, will probably buy it soon. Next to it was a lippie called Amethyst Shell, gorgeous too. If I could cross these two lipsticks together the result would almost be Iron Lady (Miss Selfridge).

BubblesDarling · 05/02/2017 13:20

Not going anywhere, just experimenting with some make up. :). By Terry Rouge Expert Click Stick. In Rose Ease. I haven't worn this enough. Unsure why? I feels comfortable, silky. Pinky on me.

I still wanna shop in Sephora! Must be frustrating with out stock items though Buster.

Sapphire - I could imagine doing some serious damage to my bank account at Ultra & Sephora. It is handy Debenhams appear to be upping they make up game! I brought some foundation & primer my last visit to Make Up Forever Counter. It was so busy at the lipstick stand...I couldn't even peak at all the loveliness. Next time my pretties!

KoalaDownUnder · 05/02/2017 13:51

Can I ask a question? I'm not a lipstick junkie at all (I own two Blush), but I saw some pictures online of Charlotte Tilbury's 'Amazing Grace' and fell in lurrrrve.

Problem is, it's only available online here (Aus) and it'll be an expensive mistake if it doesn't suit me. What to do?? Confused

BusterGonad · 05/02/2017 15:05

Koala google it as in Charlotte Tilbury amazing grace review and read every single review and you tube video, temptalia is the best as she has a list of dupes too.
I've not done any thing today, I've been watching make up videos and I'm trying to get to grips with a Dior quant a bought last year, it's Trafalgar and has a scary but beautiful red shade in the middle, I've been testing it out and trying different combos out!

BusterGonad · 05/02/2017 15:07

Posted too soon, I love it but I'm still struggling! I'll resume the experiments tomorrow as now I have my second cold in 3 weeks my eyes are starting to sting! 🤣😂😵

loveslipstick · 05/02/2017 15:26

Koala Amazing Grace is beautiful and I don't think it wouldn't suit anyone, just one of those beautiful universally flattering colours!

Yesterday I wore Mac Ruby Woo. It wasn't my intention to, I planned to wear Tom Ford Indian Rose but I left home without it due to already running late (husbands fault!) so called my cousin to bring lipstick with her and she knows I love Ruby Woo so that's what I wore. It was a bit OTT as I had very dramatic eye colour but better that than none.

Today I am wearing Revlon Ultra HD Matte in Seduction.
