I'm calling it! You know the rules, wear a different lipstick every day this month. (I love this and look forward to it every year.) Has it been a year already? Shock I've been buying make-up (again) and have some lippies I need to get through! I'm not wearing anything at the moment, that will change come morning though. Smile

And I've just ordered this

BusterGonad · 16/01/2019 01:38

Revlon Matte Balm in Striking. I love it. It's a red with hints of pink. It's hard to describe and I can't put a photo up as I've used them all up! 😬

BusterGonad · 16/01/2019 01:42

Great order Flabber I love lipsticks like that but as a sahm who doesn't really go out much anymore (pubs etc) I just know it won't get the love it deserves!
I did buy 2 of the L'Oréal balmain lipsticks in purples and I've never worn them outside the house and the opportunity hasn't arising yet! 😞

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 16/01/2019 08:04

another morning another lipstick.....although I'm realising all my lippies are quite similar

anyway today is a Burts Bees lip crayon in napa vineyard, and I like it

I'm in a shopping mall with Essence, Revolution, Wet n Wild, Canmake and a whole host of Japanese and Korean brands. My wallet is twitching! I fancy the Wet n Wild pencil lip stain/gloss thingy in a dark purple!

BusterGonad · 16/01/2019 08:47

And Anna Sui marble effect lipsticks!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 16/01/2019 09:06

Go for it Buster and then post! Love trips to makeup shops when abroad.

Apologies never posted yesterday but was Revlon ultra HD matte in ? Sorry! Good colour but doesn’t last on me and takes time to get right as drying when first put on.

Today is Charlotte Tilbury Red carpet red. Such a good colour, fab packaging but will have bled by 10.30 even with lip liner. Will post that too! Always puts me off wearing it as don’t like upkeep.

Pinkie I might try to get your Essence one in catch up red!

Lottapianos · 16/01/2019 16:51

Pinkie, I find that Charlotte Tilbury does fab colours but the formula just doesn't live up to the hype

Speaking of which, my lippie today was MAC Relentlessly Red Grin love the colour, hate the formula. In equal measure

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 16/01/2019 20:00

new lipsticks arrived! which should I wear when being interviewed on telly tomorrow

Buster Oh, that sounds like an interesting place to live! I'm jealous you get to try new make up. Envy And yes please to pictures! Grin Go on, go shopping, you know you want to...

Pinkie Hehehehe, yay! I'm glad my suggestions are useful. Smile

Sorry I've been neglecting you all, I've finally unpacked all my clothes after moving house nearly four and a half months ago! Blush (For those who don't know I separated from my husband and moved into a house share, which is just down the road from where I used to live with my in-laws.) And I had to go shopping cos I was running out of hot chocolate!

Anyway, yesterday I wore a fairly plain bright red matte by Freedom London that came in a Halloween make up set. (They were part of Tam Beauty which is now just Revolution.) Today (sort of) was Urban Decay Voodoo, which I bought at the start of July and have just got around to wearing.

You know those pretty Revlon lipstick on Amazon? They're doing 3 for 2, but to get all the ones I want I have to pay for them three at a time because when I tried putting all the ones I wanted in my basket (12) it only took off the price for one. And that way I get stung for seven loads of P&P (taking into account the lipglosses I want too) unless I get Prime... Angry But Amazon USA has the So Lit! lipstick I want, yay! I'm just going to get Prime and have fun with it come Friday morning and end up with loads of parcels!

Sorry to hear about the split Sapphire.

Lottapianos · 17/01/2019 08:00

Oh Sapphire, that's really tough. I'm sorry x

sconebonjovi · 17/01/2019 10:59

I've been quietly noting down lipsticks and following along, thought it might be time to join in!

This is divine in wine, a Matte by maybelline. Have blotted it and blended it with a brush, can't decide whether it looks relaxed or just messy!

BusterGonad · 17/01/2019 11:05

If your other make up is low key then I'd say it looks relaxed!

BusterGonad · 17/01/2019 11:12

A local brand today. Bella Sugar Lips Mafia Matte in Strawberry Milkshake. Brighter in real life. Like a bright milky pink.

Lipstains Gold in plum from me today......I think this might have been a brand back in the 80s and I'm a bit of an 80s chick at heart

Not worn any to work today but tonight I am off to the panto (joy) and I'm going for Dior Rouge 999

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 18/01/2019 08:15

Hope the panto went well grey. Rather you than me. That colour will have knocked them dead!

Sorry to hear about that Sapphire. Hope you’re ok. Have you unpacked all the lipsticks yet?!?

So true sheep 🐑 I bought Maybelline Matte in Lover and wearing today. Love it. Thanks for recommendations! Maybe going back for that one too gast!

Love yours scone. Super cool.
That plum colour looks great closed.

princessbear80 · 18/01/2019 08:51

Glad to see Lover is a hit, it looks fabulous on you another.

Sorry about lack of posts, been mega busy and repeating anyway.

Today I found my revlon lip butter in red velvet which I’d totally forgotten I owned. Really like this one.

Lucked · 18/01/2019 10:01

I’ve got a lip butter somewhere I might look it out for tomorrow.

Today I am wearing Guerlain Matte in Daring pink which is almost a red.

Unfortunately I have left the bullet in my car, it is holding on quite well after a coffee and a scone but not good enough for a photo so will try and do one later.

Buster and Lotta, aww, thanks! I'm okay now, the first day was really hard, the second day I had a few sad moments, and now I feel fine! It was well overdue, I'd wanted to leave for a few years and finally got around to it. I'm much happier now. (And I can spend money on stuff without being told off or judged.)

Pinkie Thank you. Didn't need to unpack them, they were already neatly organised in boxes (that I got from Poundland!)

Didn't wear any lipstick yesterday (my lips look like they've gone through a shredder, they've been cracking so much.) I'm going out in a bit but don't know what I'll be wearing today, something moisturising though!

And I've just got myself a nice little haul of make up. 😈 It means I now have to behave myself for the rest of the month RE spending, but it was worth it!

Good work Sapphire, really glad that you're feeling better and that you feel you made the right decision x
