Someone owes me a SECrET!!!!! Anyway day 14: coquette. This challenge is the best thing invented cause now only am I whipping out lippys I havent worn but in challenging myself to use shadows I haven't worn too. So I paired the bright blues from my electric palette with some neutrals from my naked 3 (poor palette only has seen 4-5 uses and it's not fair). So this is making me fall in love w my stuff all over again and making me see the beauties I have already. What's everyone wearing today !??? And where's @hergrayness !??? Someone owes me a secreettttttt!!!!!

Today's lip is Revlon lipstick in Wink for Pink (pretty warmish neutral pink) with MAC CSG in Double Happiness. My face is bronzed and ready for summer! I used Gilty Bronze bronzer stick to contour and under my blush, then topped with NYX blush in Terra Cotta, plus Adored MSF. I used a Sonia Kashuk eye palette I got in the fall - I think it's called Jewel of an Eye. Talk about falling for YouTube and blog hype. I can't make myself like this thing. I tried to use a bronzy taupe and it applied way darker than the pan. I might have to toss it.

It's never too late!! Welcome!! Ok so what is this secret [@]HerGreyness[/@] has? Maybe she knows about the AA collection!! Day 17: MAC Daddy's Little Girl Lipstick w/Mall Madness on top Nars Gaiety Blush Dior Grege Palette - my favorite neutral palette of all time. I did cheat a little to try on kittenish. Omg love it!! I will reapply daddy's little girl once it wears off. This MAC only is kill in me though. There are only a few shades I have left that I'm excited to wear again. The rest? Ehh

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.
Day 10: WnW Cherry Bomb. one of the few vampy colors I have. I can't do this straight on the lips though, it's too intense. I kind of mix it with lip balm and I like the color, but it's bleeding on me. I need to remember to put MAC prep & prime lip stuff under it to see if that helps at all.
Day 11: MAC Lady at Play - I go through phases where I like oranges, then I don't like oranges. I like this formula so I will keep this one for the days I'm "in the mood" for orangy lips.
Day 12: Maybelline Hot Plum - this is one of my favorite purple l/s, definitely not going in the purge pile!!
Day 13: nada!!!
Day 14: NYX Doll - when I first discovered NYX they were having a 50% off sale and I bought probably 30 l/s. Most of them have been given away or sold except for this one. It's a very flattering color for me, I should really wear it more often.
Update on day 14. I'm not sure NYX doll is a keeper. I swear I had to reapply it every 30 minutes. I might have to carry that one around in my purse at the mall looking for a dupe.
Day 15: Maybelline Color Whisper Mad for Magenta - I really like this color and wish I had a lipstick similar to this. I'm thinking Heavenly Hybrid would have been what I was looking for but I didn't get any l/s from FoF. Did anyone get HH? Like it?
Day 16: Revlon Suede l/s in Muse. This has got to be the worst l/s formula in the history of l/s formulas. Sticky, patchy and gross. But then.... I layered NYX Dolly Pink gloss over it and it made the most perfect base for a gloss. I didn't have to touch up for about 5 hours. I was going to toss Muse in the trash but I'm going to hang on to it for under glosses.
Day 17: MAC Reel Sexy - I love this.
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!

No rules! Each person has there own rules, it depends on what your goals are! Some are just limiting the amount from each collections others have a number of products per month or the whole year. Others are using monetary limits. Some are trying to avoid certain product types. The key is to access your stash and set the rules that help you reach your low but aims. Personally I am trying to reduce the volume in My stash my purging and be more selective in what I buy. Currently some people, me included are wearing 30 different lippies for 30 days, this is helping us decide what really works and what doesn't but also show dome love to our stashes. A lot of people have done full inventories and posted the results as a way of recognising the issues in the stash they have and what they need to do to reach the stash they want. We offer support in purchasing descision and try to discourage huge hauls that are rash decisions rather than considered purchases. We also support each other with other life issues, anything goes as long as it isn't enabling!
