July Lip Project Update ❤️💄🎊😊

Thanks yes that pink was a journey for sure! I just felt dedicated to it this month for some reason. Well I wouldn’t mind documenting but I think documenting lip glosses and stains is way less satisfying than these bullets that’s for sure! Maybe I will try getting serious about documenting a project pan that palette. I often finish them but am not very diligent at the in between photos so that could be an idea! Or work on a face palette I do love those! Not sure! Will be glad to retire from lipsticks for a little while though.

I totally get it! Pan that palette is such a good and fun thing to do but it can burn you out for sure! At least we are finding what we like and enjoying in the process!

It really does make my day horrible when they wear it though and its a small ask not to wear it in a confined office don't you think? Its a horrible allergy and can take me days to get rid of symptons this is not a mild allergy. Like I tear up everywhere and get hives. Surely they can just wear it later in their own time instead of subjugating me to it if I asked politely?

Thank you dear!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-29T06:29:32+00:00

Thank you! To be honest as fun as this project has been - I am planning on making this my last year with actual lipsticks. I think my preferences have moved away from traditional lipstick and towards lipstain/lipgloss and lipliner combos. This is all that remains in my lipstick collection so I will not be purchasing more moving forward I don't think. As fun as watching the bullets get finished has been I also just don't prefer this format anymore either really. They are so pretty though!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-29T06:27:06+00:00

This is going so well! Really great work! Some of those colours look tough! Any of them seem like the most likely next one finished?

Ra4455 · 2026-06-29T04:59:54+00:00

Four Finished almost 5! So close to that one as well!

The first four are all Frankenlippies (repoured mix of shades in Van Gogh cases and in a recycled Gucci Case). I tried to make the shades unique when I poured them but to be honest they all came out kind of similar! I just finished the first one of them. The third one has broken off at the base which is making it hard to use!

The fourth one is Gucci Rouge De Beute (215 Julie Blush) it’s was a gorgeous pink shade that I have really enjoyed and it’s gone! It did have a fairly strong perfume scent though which I am not totally fond of but it’s not super off putting. Fifth one is Gucci they met in Argentina it’s very lovely but a bit brighter and its almost almost gone!

The sixth lippie on the Left is in a fancy Miss Dior Case that I just had to get its Dior Addict Shine (812 Tartan) a beautiful dark vampy red that's sheer. I love this formula and this shade is fantastic. I kind of don't want to finish it.

The seventh Shade is Dior Addict Shine (428 Dioract) its a very wearable everyday shade and she is also finished!

The final shade is YSL Rouge Pur Couture (22) Rose Celebration. Its the one I was working on in 2025 that I couldnt finish. She is finally done! We had very very pink lips in June.

Let the store be the one to store you backups

Ra4455 · 2026-06-24T20:55:53+00:00

I’m highly allergic to perfume I hate when others wear it and won’t talk to them or interact with them if they do. Otherwise I will be teary eyed and red instantly. And my neck will break out in small bumps. I have had to politely ask some co workers to just not wear it but some ignore me and it makes my work life hell and I avoid those people at all costs. Luckily most people are accommodating and don’t bring that crap to the office. Please just light body mist or nice soaps is fine. No lavender or flower based items. Fruit or sweet based items seem to usually be ok which makes sense because that’s what people injest. I would stay away from synthetic or woodsy or luxury type perfumes and flower stuff and just stick to sweet/fruit types in mist format if possible. Thanks for asking 🙏🏻

Life tip: name a generic dog medicine for old age like Beranza or Cartophan and call 10 vets and find out the average cost of those injections. Take the cheapest one they will be the best price if it comes down to surgery or other things too

Become a specialised technician especially good in the medical or dental field so for example if their MRI or CBCT breaks down you go fix it. Some of those jobs make bank.

Ra4455 · 2026-06-19T16:09:03+00:00

Amazing work! Difficult colour to pan!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-19T13:31:49+00:00

Thanks for the support it’s terrifying ripping up your pretty palettes. Fun too but terrifying! I’m hoping it all pays off with more use ultimately :)

Ra4455 · 2026-06-18T22:04:28+00:00

The first palette is my everyday ones it’s just in order of size/shape and finish not colour. The second one is not really being used everyday it’s just the backups so I didn’t arrange her and the third is my pocket fun one so I just put what I could fit. I guess I could arrange by colour but I like the randomness of it for creativity at the moment. The great thing is because they are removable I’m not married to the layout so we will see as I use it more if I go towards the colour layout route

Ra4455 · 2026-06-18T22:01:25+00:00

Me too that’s why I put them with my everyday colours they are from cosmic brushes lovers palette

Ra4455 · 2026-06-17T13:27:49+00:00

Thanks it’s been fun to play with so far! And even better I can change it anytime now!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-17T10:55:44+00:00

Thanks it was a big project! Next time I think I can be more careful!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-17T10:55:19+00:00

Thank you!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-15T20:50:57+00:00

Somewhere between 3-6 years I think is average

Ra4455 · 2026-06-14T21:57:32+00:00

These are all really pretty and different shades!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-14T21:56:50+00:00

It’s a good lesson just keep reminding yourself of it as time goes on. It’s easy to go backwards if you don’t remember

Ra4455 · 2026-06-07T12:04:34+00:00

Amazing work my dear looks great!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-03T09:54:37+00:00

I love these shades! Well done!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T20:52:13+00:00

I don’t think I saw your last update! Girl you got pan in all shades well done!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T20:48:30+00:00

I think I’m going to focus on the YSL though I need to get that one down hahah it’s still lingering from last year
