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 Googled the Antwerp shade mentioned above and saw "Mid-tone yellow-toned pink" so I'm giving it a go.

Clinique Poppy Pop today.

I like it, feels quite spring like

Gorgeous colour! Have added that to my Boots basket!

I wore a similar spring-inspired shade yesterday have attached a pic but it looks totally different on me - a much brighter, almost orange-coral. Interesting how different they look on different people.

Rimmel The Only matte in Leader of the Pink today. Feels all fresh & spring-like to go with the beautiful 🌞 today.

@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks Wow! Very spring like. I like it a lot!

@Lilypad78 Looks lovely on your colouring but too blue for me!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 02/03/2021 07:18

NYX in Amsterdam today
It's more bright red than in the picture

Forgot to say! Yesterday and today I am wearing a Pixi lip balm in Raspberry. Unlike a lot of lip balm this is well pigmented.

Deathraystare · 02/03/2021 13:24

*@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks
That does look a nice colour. A bit "take no shit"!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 02/03/2021 14:27

@Deathraystare 😂

It's more of a tomato red on. In a nice way!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 02/03/2021 14:28

My close up picture has reminded me to get the veet wax strips out tonight....

Deathraystare · 02/03/2021 15:09

@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks

Love a tomato red!

Miaowse · 02/03/2021 15:41

I have maybelline lip ink in pioneer on today again and it’s not for me. I much prefer the NYX lip cream formula - the lip ink feels very drying in comparison and I don’t like the scent.

Lilypad78 · 02/03/2021 15:49

@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks Grin

I like the look of those Pixi lip balms @Deathraystare.

Another Rimmel stay satin liquid lip today in Obsession. I was a bit obsessed myself when these first came out & bought loads. I love the colour but not the texture, its quite sticky & difficult to apply. I have others in the same, or very similar, colour which are much nicer to use. Probably explains why I never wear it!

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 02/03/2021 16:40

@Miaowse the staying power of matte ink does have its downsides. I find they all smell different.

@Lilypad78 I love that colour, you have an excellent selection of bright pinks.

Miaowse · 02/03/2021 17:45

I love that shade Lilypad. I will resist though as I hate anything sticky or glossy.

FreshFaceTime · 02/03/2021 18:25

I got the NYX matte ink in Antwerp and wore it yesterday. Loved the colour but found it soooo drying! I'm more used to tinted lip balms than proper lipsticks though so maybe that's why?

Thought I'd give Revlon fire & ice a go after seeing it mentioned on another thread (might have been the retro beauty products one) and I absolutely LOVE it! Think it helps that I cracked open the skinny tan yesterday. I don't wear much, just wanted to take the edge off the winter complexion a bit. Looked v similar to this pic on me (minus the flawless skin!) - not sure if it would have worked as well with my normal winter skin - will have to give it a try when the tan has worn off.

@FreshFaceTime fire and ice is gorgeous!

I've found I need to keep my lips exfoliated and well moisturised when I wear matt lipsticks. I use a flannel to exfoliate and put loads of rich lip balm on at night and that seems to do the trick.

Matte ink believer today

@FreshFaceTime

I love Fire and Ice. I believe I have a tube of it somewhere!

Today's is Clinique Butter shine Poppy Love> The most un-loud red lipstick ever! I am not sure it even looks red. However, it means you can wear it with almost anything! Do they even make butter shine anymore. Love the tubes!

Apparently they don't. I guess colour pop took over?

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 03/03/2021 07:57

Just bought fire and ice from Amazon for £2.86!

FreshFaceTime · 03/03/2021 08:14

Bloody hell! Got mine from Boots - paid a bit more than that!

FreshFaceTime · 03/03/2021 08:19

@RedLipsAndRosyCheeks I had done the moisturiser but probably need to work on exfoliation!

Deathraystare · 03/03/2021 08:47

@Lilypad78

That Rimmel lipstick looks beautiful, shame what you said about the application!

So many neon lipsticks! There must be a corner of your bedroom that glows!

Deathraystare · 03/03/2021 08:50

@FreshFaceTime

I love the red Revlon shades. Another one I love, an old favourite is Cherries in the snow. Sometimes hard to get but I also got the nail polish. More of a 'blue' but I like it!
