Lipstick Challenge Update #1!

So here is the first update to my 30 day lipstick challenge! I have decided to break it up into three parts with 10 lipsticks in each update. For each lipstick there will be a swatch and picture of it on my lips with a mini review of what I thought of wearing it for the day. Without further ado, let's get on to the lipsticks!

1. Urban Decay - Revolution Lipstick in Liar
2. MAC - Viva Glam V
3. Lipstick Queen - Trance
4. Chanel - Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo
5. Milani - Lipstick in Plumrose
6. Ulta - Lipstick in Feeling Peachy
7. Elf - Moisturizing Lipstick in Pink Minx
8. Tarte - LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Cheerful
9. NYC - Lipstick in English Rose
10. Bite Beauty - Luminous Creme Lipstick in Bite for VIB Rouge

Here are the swatches on my arm, in the order (left to right) as listed above:

On to the individual lipsticks!

1. Urban Decay - Revolution Lipstick in Liar -- This lipstick is really comfortable to wear and shows up as a nice nude on me. It has a very creamy finish.

2. MAC - Viva Glam V -- This is one of my favorite nude lipsticks! It has more shimmer than the Urban Decay lipstick and gives a natural look.

3. Lipstick Queen - Trance -- This lipstick looks hot pink in the tube but goes on much more sheer, giving a nice pink lip that is noticeable but not too bold. It feels so smooth on the lips!

4. Chanel - Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo -- This lipstick is wonderfully smooth and has a peachy pink color that goes on slightly sheer. I find that it warms up my lips nicely!

5. Milani - Lipstick in Plumrose -- One of my favorite fall colors! Plumrose looks just like the name sounds, a nice berry plum color with a more matte finish. Very pigmented, although the picture doesn't do it justice!

6. Ulta - Lipstick in Feeling Peachy -- I got this in one of Ulta's sample-with-purchase bags. It is a peachy pink color similar to the Chanel Monte Carlo, but the formula is not as smooth.

7. Elf - Moisturizing Lipstick in Pink Minx -- This is a mid-pink toned lipstick with a matte finish. It is not incredibly moisturizing despite the name. Good pigmentation, but I don't know if the color works very well with my skin tone.

8. Tarte - LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Cheerful -- I really enjoy all of Tarte's lip tints, although the matte formulas can be a bit drying. Cheerful is a pink with a hint of peach. Good pigmentation and I love the minty smell!

9. NYC - Lipstick in English Rose -- This is a medium pink with a bit of a frosty finish. It has good pigmentation but is not very long-lasting.

10. Bite Beauty - Luminous Creme Lipstick in Bite for VIB Rouge -- I received this mini-lipstick when I got VIB Rouge at Sephora (I'm ashamed at how much money I spend there...). It is a true red with a matte finish. Very comfortable to wear, and it has amazing pigmentation!

As I was looking through all the colors, I realized that a lot of them look VERY similar on my lips...guess I end up buying a lot of similar colors! Otherwise, this has been a fun challenge so far! I realize the timing is a little off due to traveling on my part, but it's all for fun, so I will try to stick to the timeline as close as I can without stressing over it. :)

Let me know if you have any questions, and comment down below with your favorite lipstick of the update! Keep your eyes open for update #2!

Best,
Anna
