Wow what a month November has been!
And even though I knew what a busy month it was going to be, I had a brainwave of an idea on Day 2 to give myself the Challenge of wearing 30 different lippies every day for the month of November.
I didn’t think it through all that well, I was going to travel to the other side of the world for 14 days. So, I had to pack a LOT of lippies and I bought some Duty Free as well. Great excuse.
I encouraged people to join me on Instagram by bribing them (!) with a “wardrobe” of 5, ( I added a 6th one later) of lipstick colours. Every selfie would give them one entry in the random draw at the end of the month.
The prize consisted of:
Melli Cosmetics Luxe Lipstick in Siren, a beautiful dusty pink creamy lipstick in the Most gorgeous rosegold packaging.
Lime Crime Opaque lipstick in Glamour, a highly pigmented brick red.
Australis Velours lips in Pa-Ree, great matt nude colour
Rimmel Kate lipstick nr 10, stunning blue red.
Modelco shine Ultra lipgloss in Fairy Floss. A slick soft gloss with an inbuilt mirror (gifted)
I also added a Dutch brand : Hema Pretty Lips Lipgloss spf15 Colour Fiery Sunset. Lovely sheer tangerine (not shown on image)
430 pictures were posted in November, not including my own!! I am not the only lipstick crazy out there!.
Here are some of the gorgeous ladies participating and making me poor, because I have so many lipsticks now I want to try!

What is your go-to lipstick? Do you tend to stick to a particular colour range, or do you like, like me, try every single colour under the sun?
One can not have too many lipsticks. The more the merrier!
Til Next time,
