For the next 50 days as part of my attempt to shop my stash this year, I will be wearing a different lip product combination that I will share with you either as a standalone post or as part of non-related post. I'm calling it 50 Days of Lipstick, though I will use lipstick with lipgloss and/or pencil, to create different looks. The goal? Use existing products; find some faves and weed out ones that don't rock my world. A big thank you to my sister-in-law who came up with an idea for a challenge like this while we watched Dick Clark's New Year's Eve on TV last night. Day 1
Today, I wore Dior's Box Office Beige, a shimmery nude lipstick that I bought in the summer after a makeup artist told me it was one of Angelina's favorite lipsticks. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing sometimes. I do love the shimmer this lipstick gives; it's a nice alternative for a nude lip with a bit of pizzaz. What I don't like is the smell of the lipstick; it has a bit of a perfumey old lady smell. Know what I mean? Other than that, I say this is a keeper.
Here I paired it with: neutral eyes using Lise Watier Quator Les Classiques eye shadow palette, Lancome Black Coffee liner and Dior Iconic mascara in black. On the cheeks, Bobbi Brown Nectar blush and MAC Perfect Topping MSF.

Have you ever bought a lipstick or beauty product because you heard a celebrity wears it?

This will be fun to follow! Can't wait to see your pics.
Oh~
this should be a fun installment to look forwards to :)
Hope you had a wonderful new year with the family~
ps no, I have not bought something just cause a celebrity wore it. dunno, celebrities are interesting, but its not something that I am fascinated by.
@Bedalz - thanks! I hope I can do it!
@Rasilla - thanks! I did have a fantastic Holiday. I hope you did too. As for the celebrity factor, I agree with you. I think that in this case, I used it as an 'excuse' on why I had to add this to my collection. LOL.
Oh yes! The first department store lipstick I ever purchased was Clinique Black Honey, because InStyle said Calista Flockhart wore it. I was about 12 or 13 at the time, and had to save forever to get it! I treasured that tube like it was made of gold!
I love the idea of this challenge! I'll be watching intently, I think Box Office Beige might be one of the ones I let go off - I'm not sure I love it. Looks gorgeous on you though :)
What a great idea! Looking forward to the next 50 days!!
Oh man, I adore this idea!!! I might do something like it too... except it would probably be 50 days of eyeshadow for me or something.
Love this lipstick on you - it's such a pretty wearable color! And LOL. I've actually never bought something because a celebrity wears it. But... sometimes I *have* been tempted to. =P
Great idea for a challenge, and this lipstick looks beautiful on you, so shimmery and moist! xxx
I've never done that myself - buying something because it's loved by a celeb - but I can understand the pull. Ha ha, perfumey old lady smell...funny! :D
Have a good weekend, Michelle!
awesome idea! and this one looks great on you- I think you can pull off any lip colour!
Good luck with your challenge! Sounds fun. I really like this colour.
Great challenge! I like this lippie on you, it's very pretty. I haven't bought anything because a celeb uses it, but I have bought things because they received lots of hype. Thankfully, I don't do it anymore =)
Happy New Year!!!
XO
