I've fallen behind, this is just day 6 for me - I was sick over the weekend and sure as heck wasn't about to put any makeup on, so I just pretend those days didn't happen! Day 4: Mac - What A Feeling Huggable Day 5: Mac - Plumful Day 6: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Golden Shine - 110 Fuchsia Symbole. Super pretty colour but quite drying on my lips.

(to mac!) and most of the april ones, only thing i am digging still is the Peach Ombre blush... which i did sell 3 blushes today and a lippie! score! except i really been into buying jewelry form HRH collection and that s where my extra money is going to, but i have almost zero jewelry and i feel like im investing in quality pieces.

Debating 2 things..

buying salem and wicked... i feel like theyre kinda unique and would go with my nc40 skin color but i have so many lippies! i do love the formula but if you ask me how many times i wore my pink velvetine since i bought it.. only 1x

selling the only backups i own.. 1 X Runway Hit, 1 X Warm Me Up, i have both of these and although i do wear seldomly often i do love the colors i just need to wear them more, but i dont want these to go bad, any advice theyre HG nudes for me and LE so should i sell and w=once i finish the originals just hope i find another perfect nude or keep my backups?

I'm skipping on them for now and maybe at imats I'll try them out and they're on my imats buy list anyway if I decide for them ... But I'm skipping for now cause the same reason.....

Ladies forgot to mention I have now got 13 mac empties for back 2 mac, thats 2 lipsticks right? Any suggestions ? Previously I have owned Creme Cup, Creme De Nude, Hot Gossip, Chatterbox, To Swoon For, Modesty, Naked Paris and Viva Glam Cyndi. Creme de Nude and Creme Cup are definitely not repurchases, i did not look good in either of these! Hot gossip, Too Swoon For and VG Cyndi were all good tho! Naked Paris had glitter and made my lips sore and Chatterbox had too much white in it, it just looked off on me! I think I would like a neutral/everyday shade - maybe something like syrup or plumful and a soft/bright wearable pink or red (maybe lickable/lady bug/cockney?) I am confused on formulas really I wasn't that enamoured with the Cremesheen formula and I don't know where to start ? I bought Creme Cup and Creme de Nude on the back of the youtube hype and aside from the colours being wrong, I didn't love the formula. I have a counter near me so i can swatch, but I would really appreciate some advice on formulas and some colour suggestions. If it helps I am between a wear Estee Lauder DW in 1W Bone and am between a MAC 15/20, my skin tone in slightly warm running. My Lips can be quite dry too. Thanks low buy ladies!

I'm NW15-20 at MAC and I would say my favorite permanent lipsticks are: Viva Glam 2, Flat Out Fabulous (retro matte), Lovelorn, Hot Gossip, Girl About Town, and Pink Nouveau. If you don't love the Cremesheen formula because of a sheer color payoff, I would say try Amplified.

I am dropping out of my drugstore challenge early. I think I'm gonna sort through what's left and keep only a select few that I'm not wearing now because of the season/my current color preferences. Everything else is gone. Sooooo I am so excited to bust my HE lippies out of storage!!!!!! Gah what to wear today...

We can make it through together, ladies!

Today, day 8, I wore Be Fabulous, later topped with Tender (which I think I've already worn last week - I really like it!) I'm going out in a bit and want something fun, so I think I'm just going to grab Force of Love again, heehee…I already wore my new lippie of the day :p Gonna pair it with maybe a little Blue Orbit EDES - just something really sheer and simple on the eye. That lipstick does NOT need a lot of help.

I'm slowly coming out of my funk. We can make it through together!!

My hubby came home today and surprised me randomly with revlon snow peach. One of the new ones. He saw it at cvs and picked the color he thought I'd like best. So cute and sweet. He also got me sephora's Pantone color of the year in a lip balm. Wow I really like it. I could never pull off the lipstick but the lip balm is the perfect shade for me. (Sephora is next to the apple store) he wanted to surprise me.... Which probably means "I spent a lot of money on useless stuff so here's a lipstick so you aren't mad" HAHA

Day 1: Estee Lauder Crystal Baby - very pretty but sheer, I like that different liners can go with it and change up the look
Day 2: Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in Desirable - My new favorite l/s and formula, feels like my Tom Ford
Day 3: B&BW Guilty Peach Tart lip gloss - I love their l/g tubes, they don't dry out my lips like most lip products do and they taste so yummy!
Day 4 : Revlon Temptress - I'm not sure if this color is dc'd or not, but it's a really nice wearable every day pink. I'd have to swatch to make sure but it reminds me of MAC Venus. I have it on with Lancome Rose l/l
Day 5: L'Oreal The Queen's Kiss - Every time I pull this l/s out I think, nah this isn't a good color for me and then I put it on and I'm in love again lol!! I just wish it was more of a fine shimmer than a full on metallic frost.
Day 6: BE Marvelous Moxie Get Ready - I love this formula and this color is so perfect for me. Not only do these l/s not dry out my lips like almost everything else does, but it actually improves the texture of my lips. The more I wear it the better my lips look. LOVE!!
Day 7: MAC Force of Love - This might be my first fail. I don't know why I fell in love with this. I don't think the dry, neon, coral-pink is too flattering for me at all.
Day 8: NYX Butter l/s in Fizzies. This just came in the mail yesterday with my Cherry Culture order that I did during the 40% off sale. I love it!!

Day 9: MAC Feed The Senses. This one is a tough one for me. When I first put it on I think I love it, then I feel like I look washed out, then I reach for a brighter blush lol. I also have to keep reapplying it over and over again b/c it just fades on me so quickly.

I LOVE Feed the Senses. I like it when it wears down, so that the natural lip color comes through a bit, although I also love it freshly applied. I think it looks best with a blush that isn't too pink or pastel - strong warm nude colors like Pleasure Model or Alpine Bronze or Rio MSF set off the lovely lavender undertones very well.

Monday, I wore two: one to class and one to dinner:

L'oreal Colour Riche Balm in Plush Plum (I love this sooooo much)
MAC Mellow Flame (might go into the give away pile)

Yesterday, I wore two again!! one to class and one to dinner :p

MAC Punk Couture (my love <3)
Estee Lauder Rose Tea

Today.. probably nothing. I'm having a super downer day. My boyfriend said something that made me think he was going to try to kill himself and just logged off, cut his phone off, I freaked out called who he lives with to make sure he was okay... was up all night with anxiety, and once I finally fell asleep, I slept through class. I have a 5pm but I also have online class work due at midnight that's taking priority, plus I still have anxiety so I may not go to that class today.
