Lipstick Challenge - a different lipstick each day of Jan!

I remember a similar thread a few years ago that went down well Smile

The idea is to use a different lipstick every day and share with the thread whether a review, photo, anything! It isn't about buying new ones necessarily but rediscovering ones you already own.

We do a NYD dinner here so will put a nice new one on for that tomorrow and report back!

I'd murder for that Matt Ink @RedLipsAndRosyCheeks, that's a lovely one and will have to go on the list. The only red one I have is groundbreaker which is lovely but a bit more brown/orange.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 01/02/2021 13:00

The pathfinder looks quite similar, would you say the front runner is more bluey?

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 01/02/2021 13:19

@LivingDeadGirlUK Grin

Front runner is darker and more red than pathfinder. I'm rubbish about whether colours are more bluey sorry!

Here is a good review of them both and savant (this post convinced me I needed all 3 as a Christmas present!)
It helpfully shows them in comparison to the other similar shades in the range.

I may or may not be looking to see which ones I'm missing!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 01/02/2021 13:20

Turns out I've got them all except for inspirer!

Lilypad78 · 02/02/2021 15:32

Sorry I dropped off the thread for a bit, had a lazy weekend and wore no lipstick at all. Wearing MAC Ruby Woo today, love it but my skin looks very pasty in the photo!

This thread has inspired me to organise my lipsticks and really evaluate what colours actually suit me ond those that don't.

Also my favourite quality out of every lipstick I have is the kiko so I've just ordered myself a few more LOL this is kiko hazelnut in very bad lighting

Thanks @RedLipsAndRosyCheeks, & thanks for posting that link for the matte ink reviews. Some beautiful shades there, I want all of them Smile Do you have any of the matte ink crayons? I was wondering what they were like?

Me too @8lue8ird. Although I must have 40+ I probably only wear 4 or 5 regularly. I love how this thread has got me trying out lots of different ones & weeding out those I don't want to keep. I've also realised that probably 80% of my collection are various shades of bright pink & i need more variety!

Today is another I don't wear often, Avon matte in pure pink. Its a nice pinky nude & i like the consistency, its not too drying. I should wear this more often.

@Lilypad78 the matte ink crayons are nice - but don't have the staying power of the liquid lipstick
I've got both and I think the crayons are more of a longish lasting lipstick, and the seem to hold up reasonably well to eating and drinking but I don't think they'd be mask proof

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 04/02/2021 09:52

and a new lipstick today Smile
sharing it on here, even though it's no longer january because no one outside my house will see it!
Soap and Glory in Berry Kissable, and I really like it. a bargainous £6 at Boots

Thats a lovely colour, I have a S&G lipgloss but it kind of burns my lips, I also get the same sensation from a burts bees tinted lip balm I own. Maybe its got menthol or such in but I can't get over it.

Maybe its time to move back to the 'what lipstick are you wearing today' thread, as Jan is over.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 04/02/2021 11:25

@Lilypad78 90% of my collection is red, pink or pinky red!

Deathraystare · 04/02/2021 18:05

@Lilypad78

Wow! Ruby Woo looks very 'Snow White' with your skin colouring.

@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks

I like the Front Runner and Revlon one.

Mine is a cheapie but goodie -MUA Sweet sheen lip balm in Rouge Rumba.

Wow that is long!

Lilypad78 · 04/02/2021 21:12

Thanks @ClosedAuraOpenMind, I do like the look of the crayons as well but probably best waiting until we can go out to places without masks then, whenever that might be!

Trying another unworn one today, MAC in Red full stop. I've had it so long I think it's actually been discontinued now Blush but I've never worn it. Classic example of me trying something 'different' from my usual style but just ending up with something that doesn't suit me. Its a really bright coral red, but I've blotted it a lot to soften it. I don't think I will keep this, I know I won't wear it again.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 05/02/2021 07:44

I'm wearing front runner again today, I love it! It's a thinner consistency than others in the range so it was a little patchy when I first put it on.

Lilypad78 · 05/02/2021 12:08

Wearing Bourjois rouge edition velvet matte in Don't pink of it! I have a couple of these & love them, the texture is lovely & creamy for a matte. Looking back through my pictures its very similar to the Avon one but a bit pinker.

@Lilypad78 I was tempted by a bright pink in that bourjois line - it was less than £3 on Amazon when I last looked.

And I really liked the blotted coral red on you yesterday.

@LivingDeadGirlUK is this the other thread?

Ooh @Miaowse I look the look of that pink 😍 thanks.

Lilypad78 · 05/02/2021 21:51

Doh! love the look, that should have said!

Lilypad78 · 06/02/2021 00:06

OK so I might have just accidentally bought the pink bourjois velvet lipstick...and 2 other shades Blush

Miaowse · 06/02/2021 00:09

Grin excellent, post some pictures when they arrive!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 06/02/2021 06:54

I've got some NYX in my Amazon basket I'm very tempted by.... I'm sure there are some red/pink/pinky red shades that I do t have already, surely!

8lue8ird · 06/02/2021 14:08

I love kiko lipsticks!!
