Time for a MLBB list!

"EMiriamD" <emiri...@gmail.com>
So, OK. So, once upon a time I was quoted here as having said, "If I
wanted a 'my lips but better' lip color, I'd slap on some Vaseline and
call it a day." Well, that was then and this is now. I'm no longer in
the Red Red Red Red Red Club and so I'm perpetually searching for that
perfect MLBB color. And now I think I've found it: Clinique Almost
Lipstick in Almost Blush. I can even apply it without a
mirror––mirabile dictu!
So, here we go, y'all. What is your favorite MLBB lip color? This can
be lipstick, gloss, or some combination of the two. Plain things, like
Vaseline or Carmex, do not count!
Let the games begin!

And if anyone can comment on MLBP (my lips but plumper), I'd love to
hear you. Do any of those plumpers 'work'?

I hate plumpers and will be happy when Angelina Jolie is replaced with a
more normal lipped icon such as Reese Witherspoon. My MLBB color is
currently Clinique's rum kiss buttershine. EMD I know I did the Laura
Mercier almost MLBB a while ago but now I'm into color.

I've been enjoying Prescriptives Incredibly sheer lip color in Boysenerry.
It's a little more opaque than Lorac Naturally Demi, and lasts a little
longer, but a similar shade in its balanced pink/brown. Its very much like
emollient lip balm in feel. I haven't visited a Px counter in I don't know
how long, but for some reason at the Cosmetics Company store look at
everything, and I'm really happy with this find.

Almost Blush is one of my favorites, too, but at the moment, the one I'm
using the most is Clinque Buttershine First Love.

Used to be Nars Dolce Vita. Of late it's changed to Nars Masai.
Or Chanel Nude lipliner filled in with CdlM lip balm on top.
Love Masai though and can put it on without a mirror too!

For me, Benefit's Big Magic lipgloss. It's a mauve with a teeny hint of
brown. I like the slick texture of Benefit's glosses and the fact that
this one is just color and shine without shimmer.

Great topic. MLBB colors are just about all I wear so I have several
favorites:
Nars Masai lipstick
Stila twinsets in pink, nude, and orchid –– I like these because you
can vary the texture from matte to glossy and in between. The matte
end can be used as blush.
Pixi Beauty moisture tint gloss #8 –– glossy, no shimmer pot gloss that
is moisturizing and has good staying power.

Hmmm I've been considering Almost Blush, this may have been just what I
needed to convince me.
I've never gotten over red lipstick but I do branch out now and again
to non–red shades. For a color not too unlike my actual lips, I like:
NARS Dolce Vita
Clinique Pink Chocolate
NARS Pigalle
MAC Del Rio
Clinique Tender Mauve
Biotherm in a sheer mauve/plum color, it has a # instead of a regular
name and I can't find the tube right now...
Those are the favorites of the moment, anyway. Subject to change
without notice. Void where prohibited. Some restrictions apply. Yadda
Yadda Yadda.

ATM the 2 shades in my Trish Touch up Nude palette. For an MLB(much)B,
Viva Glam V. I say much better because of the shimmer.
Oldie but goodie, MAC Del Rio. Now I'm curious about Almost Blush. I
may get this and Rinse Off Foaming cleanser the next bonus time.

Lip plumpers are a total waste of money. I've gone low end (Rimmel) to
high (Lip Fusion) and I don't see a damn bit of difference. You feel a
slight tingling but that doesn't mean anything is happening. You're
just tingling. I'd rather get that feeling from some heavy kissing,
frankly––no chemicals, no cost.

Prestige Angora Lipliner/Nars Pigalle = My lips but much, much better.

Lip Venom and Benefit's lip plumpers do NOT work. The other ones I've tried
barely might work, including the reasonably priced Sorme. I haven't tried
Lip Fusion yet, but did notice that they have some hyped up products in the
new Sephora circular.

Stevie's had some success with LipFusion; I had none. But currently they're
touting LipFusion XL. Maybe there's better luck with it? I don't really
want to pay the money to find out!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Gloss Stick in Mauve. Not only does it give the MLBB
look, it does a great job moisturizing my lips.

Chanel Aqualumiere in Key Largo. It's the first Chanel lipstick that I
actually used up to the point of buying another one! Now I have the
original nearly–worn–down one in my handbag for touchups.
But I still buy new ones. Today I bought Clinique Long Last Soft Shine
lipstick in Almost Blush at Costco, of all places. I couldn't resist it
for only $8. :)
