Project Lip Products: Round 3

PROJECT LIP PRODUCTS

The colour scheme for this round:

DECEMBER - JANUARY

PRODUCT	USE	THOUGHTS
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Leo'	Wore December 18th	This one didn't wear as well as my other Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks, or maybe it was just more obvious that it was wearing away because it's a dark colour. This wore off quite a bit while eating and transferred onto my chin. My lips felt dry by the end of the day (but not too bad), and got quite crumbly after reapplying (2nd layer). This is still a comfortable lipstick, I just think what I was eating this day didn't agree with it.
Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip 'Fantasia'	Wore December 14th	When I first bought this I didn't really like it but I think I was just pairing it with the wrong looks, because now I find it very flattering. It's a nude brown with subtle glitter in it and it's the same Colourpop gloss formula that I love. Very comfortable, long wearing (for a gloss), and wears away nicely because it's not super pigmented.
JD Glow Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick 'Busty Rusty'	Wore December 10th (over a lip liner)	I like this colour, but it's just a little too red that what I typically like in an orange. I still like it and think it suits me, but it's not my favourite. The formula is very comfortable, however when applying this burnt my lips a bit? This could just be because my lips have been pretty dry recently but I'm not sure, the sensation went away once the lipstick has dried anyway. This doesn't last well through food and did transfer onto my chin while eating which is frustrating.
Urban Decay Cream Vice Lipstick 'Abstract'	Wore December 23rd	I love this colour, but even if I didn't, I would never let go of this lipstick because it was part of the Basquiat collection (and he's one of my favourite artists). This lipstick is comfortable, I find the colour very flattering, wears away evenly and doesn't leave weird patches + it didn't transfer onto my chin while eating! I really love this lipstick and wish it was part of the permanent collection.
Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip 'Times Square'	Wore December 17th	I really love this colour, and found this surprisingly comfortable for a Colourpop ultra matte! It didn't dry my lips out, and wore extremely well. I only reapplied once throughout the day and that was just to the inner rim of my lips. It didn't get crusty looking at all, I was actually very impressed.
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Nathan'	Wore December 7th for my formal :-)	Nathan is hands down my favourite JSC lipstick, it's the perfect colour for me, the formula is amazing, it's super long lasting and just... the best. I wore this for roughly 10 hours and it was still looking fresh by the end of that period! It only wore off the inner rim of my lip, but still looked amazing. My lips didn't feel dry at all throughout the night, and I just couldn't be happier with Nathan!
Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip 'Echo Park'	Wore January 3rd  It's not letting me put my thoughts in the write box so they have to go here :/While this is a beautiful colour, everything I've previously said about the ultra satin formula still stands. If you blot this off it sticks to certain areas but completely comes off others, and if you don't blot it and just eat the same thing happens, however because this is a more neutral colour it isn't as noticeable, but I still don't think that should happen. This did wear away pretty badly as I ate and looked really patchy due to the way it wears, and it did transfer onto my chin. I find that the ultra satins sting my lips, but this might just be because my lips are dry, I'm not sure. I think I'll keep this for events where I won't be eating, but this might not survive much longer in my collection.
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Yummy'	Wore January 2nd over a lip liner	I like this colour, but I don't love the finish of this lipstick. The glitter is pretty, but as the lipstick wears away the glitter stays which just looks messy, and this did wear away significantly as I ate. I don't think this is as good as my other Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks, I found this to be patchy and it didn't last as well as the mattes that I own. I will be keeping this because I think it would be pretty on the eyes, and I'm a bit of a Jeffree Star collector, but this wasn't my favourite from the line.
Nars Audacious Lipstick 'Vibeke'	Wore December 21st  (blotted)	Because I did blot this down it didn't wear super well through eating. However, this was very comfortable and easy enough to touch up. I'm not really understanding the hype around this line, but I'll wear this one some more and see if my thoughts change. I do love the colour though!
Colourpop Creme Lippie Stix 'I Like It'	Wore January 8th	I really like this colour and I already knew I loved the creme formula so this was a win all round. You do have to blot these before eating because they will transfer and wear away but they leave almost a stain behind after blotting which I like.

The bonus lip products I used this round were:

PRODUCT	USE	THOUGHTS
Lime Crime Plushies Soft Matte Lipstick 'Toasted Marshmallow'	Wore December 19th	I love this colour and the blotted effect of these, and they're super comfortable for a matte liquid lipstick! I think I'll definitely buy a couple more of these because this is such an easy to wear lip product. This didn't last well with food, but it didn't look too bad after wearing away because it is that sort of sheer colour that's pretty similar to my natural lip colour anyway. Easy to reapply, stays comfortable. I really enjoyed this.
Colourpop Matte Lippie Stix 'Parker'	Wore December 26th	This was really comfortable and long wearing, I just wish it was more matte than it is. It has more of a creme finish in my opinion which I don't love for a colour like this. This will transfer when eating so it's best to blot down before and reapply after, which is what I tend to do with most of my lippie stix because they're a convenient size to carry in a handbag.
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Lip Ammunition 'Allegedly'	Wore December 27th	This was super comfortable, which came as a surprise because applying this it felt quite firm as if it was going to be drying, but it wasn't! This was very pigmented, I only needed one swipe to get full opacity, and it wore really well too. It almost left a bit of a stain behind which is a bonus for me because it makes it less obvious that the lipstick has worn off. The only thing I didn't like about this was the scent, it's a little plasticy, but I can get past that because this is a great lipstick! This was my first time trying a lip ammunition and I couldn't be happier!
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Lip Liner 'Celebrity Skin'	Wore January 2nd under Yummy (shown on it's own)	This lip liner was the perfect balance between creamy and firm, it was really easy to use and very comfortable. I think it's a great colour and I didn't notice any issues with this! It didn't bleed or smudge, but I also can't say if it helped with the longevity of my lipstick or not. (I apologise for my wet hair in the picture!)
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Can't Relate'	Wore January 10th  Won't let me put my thoughts in the right spot so they'll have to be here: I love this colour, it was very comfortable and lasted well just like my other Jeffree Star nudes. Couldn't be happier with this one!
Tony Moly Perfect Lips Shocking Lip Tint 'Orange Shocking'	Wore January 15th	I bought this because I'd heard it had amazing lasting power but I didn't find that to be the case. This didn't last through eating oily food, but it did stain my lips in some areas. The colour was very vibrant and the product was comfortable, but it did look red rather than orange in certain lights which I didn't like.

Items I'm decluttering:

• Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Echo Park because I just don't love the ultra satin formula, I adore this colour but I just can't stand how high maintenance it is! A nude lip should be easy, and this isn't.

The colours I've selected for next round are:

• NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick 'Sandstorm'
• Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip 'Mama'
• Colourpop Lux Lipstick 'Electric Feel'
• Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Longwear Lipstick 'Sell Out'
• Napolean Perdis Liquid Lipstick 'Are You Joking?'
• Colourpop Creme Lippie Stix 'Boys Town'
• Colourpop Lux Lipstick 'OOUUUU!'
• Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Baby Daddy'
• Colourpop Matte Lippie Stix 'Sike'
• Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick 'Diva' 

This colour scheme is so ugly and mismatched but we're really getting to a point in this where nothing is cohesive at all because I've worn all my summery colours already so I'm left with a weird mix of things. But it's not like I'm wearing all of these at once so I suppose it doesn't matter. 

I would also like to note that over Christmas I got quite a few new lipstick so my numbers have changed. In my collection there are currently 76 lip products, and so far I have decluttered 13 products from this collection since the beginning of this project - but because of the new products, my number is higher than what it should be if you're looking at the total I started with: 77. I will do a full breakdown of what I got rid of, kept, and brought into my collection in my finale for this project. New products will be going through this project as well.
