Okay so what am I going to do with this lipstick now that it looks awful on me? (I knew it would be too light when I bought it online, but I just had to prove myself okay!)
So here are my bare lips:
So I saw a post that Livia did last week and I decided to try it out on myself! ^_^ And it worked like a charm.. I took MAC On Display Lipglass to lighten the color of it whenever I apply it over the fleshpot lipstick.
So I apply FLESHPOT on my lips first and then I take the lipgloss and put some on my finger (don't wanna contaminate the applicator especially with pale nude lipstick) and spread it out evenly on my lips! And here is the result :D
But I totally love the result! I'm still undecided if I want to keep this lipstick or if it'll end up on my blogsale.. only time will tell! ^_^ Thought I would post something different and will benefit the tan girls like me that are too afraid to buy certain nude lipsticks.. this is what you can do if it doesn't work out for you :D
I'm totally on a roll this week with the posts! I've got tons more planned.. *sigh* I guess that means I have too much makeup products LOL...
<333
P.S. Linda I got my car! :D I am totally bummed... the clutch on this one is totally different from my RSX.. T_T I hope I can drive it okay and get used to it!
hehe. i also cant pull some super nude lip color.
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO @ THE FIRST PHOTO!
ReplyDeleteOMG LINDAH YOU'RE A TRIP!
But I love the pink you were able to make with it. Fleshpot is like putting concealer on your lip if you ask me...ehh.
Im nc30 and it would look shit on me too...basically that colour... its for light peoples lol.
ReplyDeleteHahah love the picture. I'm an NC35 and I gladly swapped away Fleshpot! I love a nude lip but it's too light and too pink!
ReplyDeleteI love nude lippies but I agree with the comment above me, it's too light and too pink!
ReplyDeleteWOW! thats sad it doesn't look good with your skin tone, because that is a goregous color ;[.....
ReplyDeletewhat do you do about your mustace hairs? just curious because i have them too, and im afraid to shave them...
eeekkkk... im glad i didnt get it! oh Jesus. I knew It would not suit my NC40 skin. I have snob and it looks great indoors but if u take picture with it, yikes! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteawwww but the one with the lipgloss quite nice!
ReplyDeletehehe
sorry i havent replied ur email,i will reply asap!hehe
i hv been so busy!hehe
It really doesn't look that bad! Nudes dont work for me generally because my skin is a little darker most of the time :)
ReplyDeleteermmm... yeah, def does not suit with you.... you look extremely wash out or you're just ill 'cause your lips are too light for your skin tone! lol. hmmm. I'm into pink lips rather than nude colors.
ReplyDeletehehe you look so cute in the first photo,its like you want to take the lippie off
ReplyDeletehehehe
ReplyDeletelol at your pic
you're adorable,hun
^_^
you made my day
im happy with my blankety..although i would want to try out myth, but its not available here in the philippines..
too bad
>_<
but to be on the safe side, i'll stay away from fleshpot
hehehe
as a lipstick, nahhh but as a base.. LOVEEE IT! you're so cute with that lipstick on you! loved the facial expression
ReplyDeletelmfao lindahhh you are so funnyyyy!!!
ReplyDeletehahahah! =) love the 1st picture :P so cute! =) I love to wear nude lippies and yeah they can get really pale on me too because I'm NC30-35 :P but added with the other lippie, it looks great! =)
ReplyDeleteyour first pic is so cute! haha.. it looks too light for me too, but luckily you could pair it with On Display :)
ReplyDeleteyep...russian red would look sexy as fuck on you :D
ReplyDeleteah well..you can always return fleshpot to mac
oh snap...those heels i was wearing they did a really nice beige version too and it was on sale really dirt cheap in july... if only u lived in england... :(
lol at the first pic...but it did work as a lip concealer....
ReplyDeletei thought you applied concealer on your 1st pic lol
ReplyDeleteso w/u! the flash on the camera dont help too. hehe
ReplyDeletei think its a keeper! i like the color combo!
yeah fleshpot doesn't even look good on me either and I'm NC25, so yeh but I love it with On display! and congrats to your new car!
ReplyDeletei keep having this problem too. i have given my bestie so many products because they end up looking ugh on me lol in fact, i'm about to send her the "fun and games" powder...de-potted of course, because that hello kitty case is too cute!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteim getting two barry m lipsticks and a gosh lipstick lol! I want to find a good nude lipstick..you could always find someone to do a swap with, there really fun!
ReplyDeleteHey, good luck with the new car. I have the feeling you'll be fine. Hopped over from Sarah's blog :)
ReplyDeletehahah youre too funny/cute in the first pic! and yeah sometimes finding the perfect nude/pale pink is really tough, but im glad you found a way to make it work. and congrats on the new car!! that's so exciting and perfect timing since it's the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI have Fleshpot, also. At first, I found myself in the same predicament as you. But you know what? It works great if you put a little bit of balm on your lips first, swipe Fleshpot over your lips, then add whichever color lipstick you want on top! Especially if your lips are already pigmented as much as mine are :p
ReplyDeleteYou look so silly cute in your pic, hahaha
I think what you did by adding the darker lip colour on top of such a pale lipstick, is genius! Great idea, good usage luck!
ReplyDeletexoxo
It looks great with the lipgloss over it. I cannot pull off super nude lips...it makes me look like I ate powdered donuts and forgot to wipe off my mouth.
ReplyDeleteHaha, your title made me laugh super hard! Nice blog you have here. :)
ReplyDeletenice post! I love how you made it work in the end. you look so cute in the first pic.
ReplyDeleteLOL, HILARIOUS<3
ReplyDeleteLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
ReplyDeleteLindah, you totally made my day with that photo!
You're so cute!
Congratulations on your new car! Lucky girl :)
ReplyDeleteYour first picture is priceless Linda LOL. I think it would look good on you alone if you did a dark smokey eye. Even though i love nude lippies (like concealer stuff) I wouldn't wear it without any dark eye makeup - it just looks weird. But I love how MAC On Display changed the lip colour more pinkish. I'm going to get MAC Fleshpot next! I've been eyeing it for sometime now.
LOL I agree! Great photo :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much better layered with a lipgloss!
I agree with Karen, maybe it can work with a really dark eye makeup, but if not, topping it with the gloss made it gorgeous. =) Cute first pic!!! LOL. =P
