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

Wasn't too impressed with how the Rimmel stayed put so changed to an old favourite. No 7 lip crayon in Blackberry Wine

I like that last one gast. Great colour.
I’m wearing Stila liquid lips. Their reddest!
Feels nice but doesn’t last quite as well as Maybelline so not good enough for price! Sexy colour though.

And how cool is this? I don’t take many selfies but I love this collage!

I really love that Pinkie, I think you suit the wine red shades and the purples.

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 31/01/2019 08:24

Last day is cien in gentle mauve. Lidl’s lipstick range. Really comfortable formula but really random if it’s in stock!

Thank you all. It’s been great. See you next year! Same time, same place?!?

It’s been a great thread, have loved seeing all your colours. I think I’ve worn lipstick everyday except one or two when I haven’t left the house. So that is good for me. I’ve acquired 6 new lipsticks too, and have some inspiration for more. Will definitely keep up the lipstick habit and join in the thread next year.

Today is a repeat but I wanted to post something for the last day. My new favourite, Mac captive, applied as a slight stain over lip balm today to try to save my lips from the worst of the cold! It looks a bit bolder in real life.

Also slightly off track but overall this January I’ve enjoyed taking a bit more care of my appearance which I think is linked to this thread so thank you all Blush Flowers. Have done my hair every day instead of resorting to a scruffy ponytail and also done regular home manicures. Feel much better for it!

BusterGonad · 31/01/2019 11:36

I've not participated much in the line of photos but I love this thread. So many gorgeous lipsticks. I've bought quite a few cheap ones this month as it's really got me thinking about other shades and finishes.

Fresta · 31/01/2019 17:04

Another, how do you take such great selfies of your lips- mine look blurred and distorted so close up? I look like I have fish-lips!!!

Fresta · 31/01/2019 17:18

Here’s my best effort- this lipstick is Wildberry (no 33) from Elizabeth Arden. I am actually loving it- it’s very creamy but does last - which for me is the ultimate goal as I’m not a matte fan!

Another maybelline matte ink today-Pioneer today. I love it

I've ordered another Maybelline Matte Ink Dreamer. Hope it's as nice as Lover.
Thanks for all the recommendations.

SapphireSeptember · 31/01/2019 21:30

This is the last one! I wore Revlon Superstar Brown and Red Rules The World today, So Lit! finally arrived from the USA today, and I'm getting my I 🖤 Revolution metallic liquid lipsticks in the post tomorrow. (I had to get them, I got a free goody bag!) This month I have bought 24 lipsticks, nine liquid lipsticks, eight lipglosses, four eyeshadow palettes and four cream eyeshadows. Smile

Pinkie Yes, absolutely! See y'all next year! (Or later this year, when I inevitably get bored and want to talk about lipsticks because no one else understands!)

@SapphireSeptember we're going to keep the lipstick love going into February!

SapphireSeptember · 31/01/2019 23:21

Yay! Yes, let's do this! Yes, my pretties, you are still cherished...
(That was random, oh well! Grin )

I bought 2 Wet N Wild Balm stains yesterday. Truffle in paradise and Lady and the Vamp.

Lottapianos · 01/02/2019 08:09

Wow Sapphire, that's quite a haul! Strong work Grin

Charlotte Tilbury Bond Girl here. As always with CT lipsticks in my experience, great colour, meh formula

BusterGonad · 01/02/2019 08:16

Sapphire you really are the queen of lipsticks!!!

SapphireSeptember · 01/02/2019 21:20

Oh for goodness sake! I just found all 12 of the Revlon Matte Is Everything lipstick shades on the Superdrug website, and it's two for £10! That would have saved me some cash. The universe is conspiring against me. Hmm Oh well, at least I've got them all now!

Thanks Lotta! There's wasn't much in my goody bag, a highlighter palette, liquid lip kit and an eyeshadow brush I already had, and an eyeshadow palette I didn't. Oh well, the eyeshadow palette was worth it as an extra when I was going to buy those things anyway. Smile

Ooh, thanks Buster Can I make a crown out of lipsticks, I wonder?

Today was Revlon So Lit!, a bright matte orange (as though I don't have enough of those already) and Mystic Mist, which is a very pale sheer purple lipgloss with lots of iridescent shimmer and green iridescence where it catches the light. It makes me think of summer for some reason! It would look lovely on a sunny day, I'm sure. Smile

And hopefully I'll be able to start wearing liquid lipsticks again soon, my lips have been so dry and flaky recently I haven't been able to, and I've got lots of new pretty ones I want to try.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 01/02/2019 22:54

I've just accidentally bought this beauty

SapphireSeptember · 01/02/2019 23:04

Ooh, that's lovely! I own it, although I haven't tried it on yet. (I will get around to it now my lips feel better, Revolution's liquid lipsticks are one of the better formulas I've tried. Smile ) They do a dark green matte one I love!

new lipsticks orderedGrinGrin
got an email from look fantastic with 20% off site wide, so it would be rude not to get the Urban Decay lippie I've been covering for ages

Also got a Sleek one to try, a lip liner, a new foundation and some paw paw cream (which will deal with the dry skin on my eyelids that I get in the cold) for just over £30

will show new lipsticks off here when they arrive.....

Lottapianos · 02/02/2019 17:30

'will show new lipsticks off here when they arrive.....'

It would be rude not to!

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 02/02/2019 21:22
