10 Day Single Lipstick Challenge

Being a lipstick obsessed person, I read relentlessly about new lipstick reviews on various blogs, make endless lists of what "I just neeeeed to have", cajole myself (against my better judgement) into buying that new hot pink lipstick which is on 50% off sale, get obsessed with websites that have a great collection of lipsticks....long story short, I have a huge lipstick collection and I doubt I would part with any of them, whatever be the temptation. 

But the funny thing is, and I have only just noticed it, that I almost never use just one lipstick. I always, without fail, use two or more every time I put lipstick on. It's like I am never satisfied with any lipstick's actual colour and hence, I blend two or three to get the exact shade I want. Either that or I am not brave enough to wear a colour right out of the tube.

Well, so a few days back, I gave myself a 10-day challenge. I decided to use only one lipstick every time I put on lipstick and to not resort to blending a couple. The only allowances are lip liner and clear gloss for some of those dry, matte lipsticks.

Today was day 5, the half-way mark and so far, I seem to be succeeding. These are the lipsticks I have worn so far (fyi, I am not wearing face makeup in any of the pictures as I don't wear it on a daily basis).

Day 1 - Lakme Enrich Satins  lipstick 140, Maybelline Colorsensational lip liner '338 Midnight Plum', Lotus Herbals clear gloss 'Ice Cube 32'

Day 2 - Colorbar Velvet Matte  lipstick 'Over the Top 81 V', Miss Claire Glimmersticks lip liner 'Mild Maroon L-02', Lotus Herbals clear gloss 'Ice Cube 32'

Day 3 - Maybelline Colorsensational Moisture Extreme lipcolor 'B42 Buff'

Day 4 - Loreal Colour Riche  lipstick 'Ginger Spice 815', Miss Claire Glimmersticks lip liner 'Mild Maroon L-02'

Day 5 - Maybelline Colorsensational The Buffs Collection lipcolor '950 Untainted Spice', Colorbar lip liner '008 Just Coral'

I think I can definitely go the single lipstick way, don't you?
