IT all started when I saw a conversation Rae, Elaine and Juvy were having on Twitter. They were talking about doing a #20daylipstickchallenge. I wanted to join, but I didn’t have a blog like these three ladies.
Rae pointed out that I could do it on Instagram, which is what I did. For the last 13 days, I’ve really had to dig deep, literally and figuratively, into my stash to come up with the appropriate tube for every theme.
So here are my picks so far:
- Day 1: All-time favorite
MAC Chili, a red orange that was one of my first two lipsticks from the brand.
- Day 2: First lipstick
A red from Mary Quant that my father bought for me when I was 12.
- Day 3: Drugstore lipstick
Sleek in Succumb, a sheer caramel.
- Day 4: Lipstick I’d wear on a date
MAC Ultimate Lipstick in Audacious
- Day 5: Favorite purple lipstick
My only purple is MAC Mattene in Own the Look.
- Day 6: Winter color
There’s no winter in the Philippines of course, but my picks were MAC Eugenie, Viva Glam 1 and Fashion Revival.
- Day 7: Favorite brand
By now, it should be obvious that MAC is my favorite brand.
- Day 8: A color you own but wouldn’t wear out in public
I chose black (MAC Black Knight) and white (a MAC lab sample that was never released).
- Day 9: Favorite matte lipstick
I wanted to choose any color Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte line, but I opted for a liquid formula. My pick was Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita.
- Day 10: Favorite nude lipstick
MAC Mocha
- Day 11: Lipstick with the best packaging
I chose Guerlain and YSL Beauty. I seldom wear these two because I am scared to take them out.
- Day 12: That one lipstick you’ll always have in your handbag
Someone pointed out that my choice was a lip balm but Bene Balm or Cha Cha Balm is a constant in my bag. I change my lipstick every day, sometimes even twice.
