I haven't been able to catch up with this thread lately. Is everyone doing a different lipstick every day challenge right now?
I like the idea of that, but it'd be hard to use lipsticks up that way. Easier to get through them if you are using a few like clockwork.
If you have so many lipsticks in your stash that you forget what you have, then this sort of challenge can make a big difference. Plus it sounds fun!
I did something sort of like it last night: I pulled out all my makeup and went through everything to switch out all the fall/winter colors with the spring ones. I made up a new look bag with some key colors and textures that will give me a bunch of go-to looks for day, afternoon and casual evenings. This is what I pulled out:
Eyeshadow: Zestful EDES (I've been waiting to bring that one back - I love it so much), Pink Pepper PP, Dalliance MegaMetal (every year I try to make it work and this year I think my coloring has changed enough that it'll be more flattering for longer), Rare Find MES, Quartz Fusion MES (I want something really sparkly in there), Smokey Mauve EDES and Unsurpassable MES (the very pastel green marbleized one). I need one or two cooler shades in here too, and am probably going to go for Frost At Midnight - I guess that's one shade I don't really have, a good cool purplish taupe that is medium toned instead of dark that can be worn with springy pink lipsticks.
Blush: Time to get more use out of my cream blushes so So Sweet, So Easy and Joie de Vivre cremeblends, Immortal Flower, Subtle Breeze MB and Sakura MB
Lipstick: Party Parrot (since it's more than half used, I want to power through), Summer Shower, Relaxation and Have a Lovely Day Casual Colors, Morning Rose to go along with my Huggables (OFP, Touché & F&F) and new Mineralizes (Pure Pout, BaL, So Good and BF) and Mineralize gloss (Modest, Tender and Cheerful)
Misc: It's Physical and Our Secret f/l, the burgundy and brownish Zoomlashes, Cool Elite Big Bounce Shadow (I've got to use that one, it's starting to get dry ). Veronica BP, new Stereo Rose, Fairly Precious EDSF, Adored MSF and my usual Wholesome f/l, On the Hunt Superslick liner (wtf - all the other colors are gone off the site..that sucks, I really like the dark grey and just finished my current tube. I guess UD makes something similar, right?) Stormy Pink pp, along with Camel Coat and Clearwater. I still want to get Tailor Grey for using right now. My All Woman and Rainy Day quads plus Diamond Dove are going to factor in for contouring too!
Basically I want looks with very subtle, soft eyes, barely lined, but with the option of some barely smoked/smudged darker-than-nudes, with the occasional retro black cat eye, soft, dewey cheeks that aren't too bright, and simple, minimal lips with a little texture. Combined with my FoF haul, I've got all the spring looks I need right at my fingertips now!
