#NoBareLips30
This post is VERY VERY overdue, especially considering that #NoBareLips30 ended at the end of June. But life. Anyway, this post is all about #NoBareLips30 - a challenge started by @KeikoKaveri on twitter to ensure she used up her entire arsenal of lipstick and to feel great about herself. The challenge has now spread to twitter and Instagram and is held about once a year during a 30 day month and women posts the lipstick they’re wearing for the entire month. I have tried #NoBareLips30 at least 3 times before successfully completing a season. While I love lipstick, the get up and go to actually put on lipstick in the morning before work and on weekends when I’m not leaving the house just doesn’t exist.
On normal days, I don’t wear any makeup at work because I’d truly rather sleep a little extra than put more effort into my appearance, however I think lipstick with absolutely nothing else is solely for the gym (yes I’m a follower of the #redlipfit movement) so I committed to at the very least doing brows and mascara throughout the month. I did end up missing a few days because some days I truly didn’t leave my bed. But unlike past seasons, I didn’t let missing a day here and there stop me from completing the month.
While I was in the thick of things, I was under the impression that I would continue on with my work makeup routine that I had established past the 30 days. However, a month out from the challenge, I can confirm that I was lying to myself. I’ve done the brows, mascara and lipstick maybe 5 days total since #NoBareLips30 ended. I’ll probably try to bring it back at some - especially during August because birthday month/Leo season. But hey, what can I say, I still love sleep.
Anyway, I’ll refrain from rambling anymore and just show the photos. I have labeled all of the photos with the colors - but if you can’t see, have suggestions or general lipstick questions, feel free to comment and let me know!
