the selection of lip products that companies are putting out nowadays

That’s how I feel about buying dark berry lipsticks. They’re usually some form of pink when I’m wanting more of a burgundy. The exception would be Clinique’s Black Honey, but it’s meant to be subtle.

Bridal makeup trial – honest feedback?

I don't really think this look is doing a lot for you. I would soften the brows - either less dark or less thick - and brush them up and out. The lashes are barely visible but feel heavy on your face... so not worth it! A good tubing mascara will do more for you. Agree the eyeliner is very thick and

Can I actually pull off a red lip or does it wear me?

Yeah, that’s what I had to do. I was new to wearing any lip color and even the Clinique almost lipstick in black honey was jarring. I look back and I have a chuckle but I’m happy wearing lipstick now. Well, more lipstain with gloss/balm over ᵕ̈

What products can give me a natural 90s look?

Clean girl look but with a moody darker lipstick (NOT mat), and tight-lined eyes (in the waterline). Blush on the apple of the cheek instead of sideburns. Natural brows thinner We didn’t cake our face in foundation, you went o-natural and touched up bad spots with concealer. No contour. No bronzer.

14 piece Lip GWP missing Lancome Lip Idole

I didn’t get the Lancôme Lip Idole either. They subbed it with another Clinique black honey. Black honey always turns bright purple on me so I’ll donate them to the women’s shelter. At least they made some effort to sub instead of just leaving it out like usual.

What is one item you haven't tried that you would buy right now if you could, one item you would buy 18 times, and one you never want to buy again?

I want to try red light products but I'm poor. But if it's something I want that is affordable, I want to buy a discovery set for a fragrance house I'm interested in. So for me that's available at Sephora, that's Phlur. After that, NEST. Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick. It's my holy Grail lip p

HOLY GRAILS !

Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick I know it's overpriced and there is barely any product in the tube. But for me it's undupeable (I've tried) and goes with any and every look, even if the look is just sunblock and lippie.

I'd like to buy my mother in law a high end tinted lip balm, any recommendations? She uses those tinted Nivea lip balms.

If your MIL likes the Cherry Nivea Lip Balm, I definitely second Clinique's Almost Lipstick! I used to use the former in Blackberry because it was a dupe of Clinique's Black Honey, I think that for the Cherry one that seems a bit more pink, Pink Honey would be better. And I think she'd like it a lot

Can I use lipsticks I purchased today that are new but from 2019?

I have Clinique’s Black Honey almost lipstick that I bought for the 35th anniversary. In 2006. Still wearing it occasionally and still alive.
